'''Smart Bombs''', also known as '''B-bombs''', '''Nova Bombs''', or '''Bombs''', are high-yield and compact explosives used in both deep-space and atmospheric conflicts. Smart Bombs give off a large flash and explode over a respective blast radius, allowing an ace pilot to take out any unshielded star fighter in range. Smart Bombs either be fired manually or by using the [[Targeting Computer]]. They can be detonated either remotely or from impact. Smart Bombs were designed by [[Slippy Toad]].

'''Smart Bombs''' (also known as '''Nova Bombs''' and '''B-bombs''') are devastating weapons which can take out multiple enemies. They can be aimed at targets either manually or they can be made to home into targets.  
[[Arwing]]s and first generation [[Landmaster]]s have a large arsenal of Smart Bombs. They can usually be obtained from defeating an enemy, or by [[ROB 64]] sending them to the [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team]] from the [[Great Fox]].

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Smart Bomb is a powerful weapon with high knockback, though it may not always detonate instantly after being used. In these cases, the player should be careful to stay clear of the area it was thrown, to avoid being damaged or knocked out. This item is particularly effective in enclosed spaces, as it has a large blast radius.

The Smart Bomb appears as a throwing item in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. This item explodes upon impact with a fighter or an obstacle, or after traveling a certain distance through the air. The Smart Bomb has a large blast radius, steadily increasing more and more until finally stopping.


=== Trophy Information ===
The Smart Bomb deals fair damage to fighters caught in the radius, including the thrower, and has high knockback. The percentage of any player caught in Smart Bomb explosion rises until ceasing. At this point, the aforementioned player will be sent flying. Fighters can only escape from the blast by moving above or below it, but not left or right. Occasionally, the Smart Bomb acts as a dud when thrown, which is indicated by a sound effect. It still eventually explodes over time or if hit.
