Clay Shooting

Clay Shooting is Duck Hunt's side special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is based on the clay shooting mode in Duck Hunt.

When using the move, the dog throws a that flies across the screen, exploding when the player presses the special attack button a second time to shoot it, the Zapper firing three shots that also deal damage. The pigeon only explodes once the player presses the button, though it still damages opponents.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the first custom variant for this move is Rising Clay, which causes the pigeon to arc downward and then fly up when tossed; however, the pigeon does not explode, meaning that it deals less damage. The second is Clay Break (named Clay Destruction in British English), which tosses the clay farther and at a higher arc but the pigeon itself does not damage opponents and the shots are more spaced when detonating, though are more powerful.
