X Bomb: Difference between revisions

The '''X Bomb''' (called a '''Cross Bomb''' in Japan) is an item from the ''[[Icaruspedia:Kid Icarus (series)|Kid Icarus]]'' title, ''[[Icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. It appears as an explosive item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.<ref>[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/about/index.html Features | Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch System | Official Site]</ref> Upon detonation, the bomb explodes in two lines of flames that span across the stage in either an X-shaped or cross-shaped formation. The explosion does not hurt the players or their team if they throw it. If they activate it with other means, however, the bomb hits everyone. [[Bowser Jr.]]'s [[Final Smash]], [[Shadow Mario]], paints an X over the screen to harm other players in a nearly identical fashion to this item's function.

[[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated on [[Nintendo]]'s Miiverse network that the X Bomb is from ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', and is not to be confused with an item of the same name from ''[[Wikipedia:Meteos|Meteos]]''. Though the design for the X Bomb in the game is definitely based off ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', it actually behaves more like its ''Meteos'' equivalent. It is further confusing to note that the Japanese name for the X Bomb, Cross Bomb, is actually the name of an item in ''Meteos'', and the name is completely irrelevant to ''Kid Icarus''.
