Sakurai revealed on the DOJO today an item we knew was around from E 4 All videos, but gave a better understanding of it and a better explanation of bomb use in the game. These moves aren’t nearly as end-all as they used to be.
<p align="center"><strong><Smart Bomb></strong></p>

As a big fan of the Star Fox games, I’m glad to see some Star Fox items make it into Brawl. This item clearly replicates the same thing the actual bombs in Star Fox Assault produce. I wanted to note that these bombs are more in tune with Assault than they are with any other Star Fox game because of the way it explodes. In previous Star Fox games and even in Star Fox Command, they weren’t nearly as accurate as the one’s in Assault were, nor were they as damaging.

This item when hit engulfs the opoonent instead of outright pushing them out causing it to inflict more damage as the opponent is blasted out of the Smart Bomb’s blast radius.

<p align="center">Like any bomb though, it is wise to stay out of the blast radius when you throw it as the radius grows as it detonates.</p>

Now this is where I think Sakurai went right. Bombs in matches have always handed a free K.O. to the most unskilled of opponents, however, with the bomb having a chance of being a dud, maybe the player will think twice before running for an item they may not need.
