Clown Kart Dash
Clown Kart Dash is Bowser Jr.'s side special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. The Junior Clown Car transforms into a kart, revealing a set of wheels and a pair of tailpipes, reminiscent of the Koopa Clown in Mario Kart 7, and speeds ahead to ram into any opponents in his path. Pressing the control stick forward causes the kart to speed up, allowing the attack to deal more damage overall. After some time, the kart will spin out, which deals more damage to opponents than ramming into them; this can also be forced by holding back on the control stick or pressing an attack or grab button, while jumping cancels the attack.
This move has two customizable variants. The first one is Koopa Drift, which allows the spinout attack to deal multiple hits but less damage and knockback and the car does not travel as far or as fast. The second is Grounding Dash, which gives a delayed burst of speed and can bury opponents, but does not damage in the air or during the spin out.
The Junior Clown Car also engages its kart mode when Bowser Jr.'s down taunt is used.
