Bowser's Koopa Klaw

Koopa Klaw is one of Bowser's special moves inSuper Smash Bros. Melee. In later games, it was replaced byFlying Slam.Bowser uses this move whenB Button is pressed with either left or right held onControl Stick. This move has two variations, based on Bowser's distance from his opponent: if the two are far apart, he simply lashes out with his claws, knocking opponents upward, but if Bowser is close enough to his opponent, he grabs onto them, allowing him to either bite them for weak damage or throw them.
