| '''Super Dragon''' is [[Yoshi|Yoshi's]] [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The move reflects Yoshi's sporadic yet powerful fighting skills on the battlefield and greatly improves his ability to recover from a fall. Rather than a single, powerful attack, Super Dragon temporarily transforms Yoshi into [[Winged Yoshi]] and gives him the ability to breath fire. However, Yoshi must first break open a [[Smash Ball]] in order to charge himself up for the attack. Once this happens, Yoshi can activate the attack at any time. Yoshi can even save himself from an otherwise deadly fall.

| ==Attack Phases==
| |
| ===Transformation===
| |
| [[Image:Yoshi_070823a.jpg|thumb|left|Yoshi during his transformation.]]
| |
| When the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stages|stage]] turns dark and Yoshi gains an unearthly glow, his transformation has begun. He gains two attack advantages. First, Yoshi's new angel wings enable him to fly. Secondly, the dinosaur constantly spews a jet of flame from his mouth until the attack ends.
| |
| | |
| When Yoshi assumes his new form, his [[Special Moves|move set]] and fighting strategy change with him. While Yoshi is not invincible, his opponents constantly evade him due to his constant stream of fire from his mouth. If Yoshi chooses to, he can stop spewing fire and use the form's normal attack: spewing a large [[Fireball]] that travels in a horizontal direction. When he does this, his aura becomes red temporarily, possibly giving his foes forewarning. Because of his ability to fly Yoshi can focus solely on his attacks rather than stalking or evading his foes. The smaller the stage, the greater the advantage. Yoshi is also at a greater advantage if the central platforms of a given stage have empty space below them, such as in [[Battlefield]].
| |
| | |
| ===Reverting to Normal===
| |
| [[Image:Yoshi_Final_Smash_Over.jpg|thumb|The player must be careful about where they will be when the Smash ends, for it may result in self-destruction.]]
| |
| When the attack does end, Yoshi loses his new abilities, including his wings. Innocently looking at where his wings once were, Yoshi begins to fall downward. If he was to the sides of the stage when he lost his wings, he will fall out of the arena. Because of this, Yoshi is at an advantage if, towards the end of his attack, he avoids the edges of the stage.
| |
| | |
| Yoshi's enemies will likely swarm him as he returns unless their damage meters are high. In doing so before he regains his footing, they can attempt to balance out the damage caused to them by the dinosaur.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| While the attack has not specifically appeared in any other game, by eating [[Red Shell|Red]] or [[Blue Shell|Blue]] [[Koopa Shells]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Yoshi could breathe fire or fly respectively. However, only one of these moves could be used at a time. By using a flashing shell he could become Super Dragon but he hasn't much aerial mobility like when he uses his Final Smash, and could only breathe out one set of three [[Fireball]]s, causing the transformation to end. However, in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', Yoshi could spew multiple short streams of fire after eating a [[Red Watermelon]]. This ability is closer to that seen in the Super Dragon ability.

| |
| ''Yoshi with wings on his back that give him the power to fly freely across the sky. In this state, he can spew giant fireballs. He is more mobile and powerful, but the inertia makes movement quirky, so it takes some skill to master flight. Yoshi returns to a normal state after a set period of time has passed.''
