Boshi (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Boshi appeared in Super Smash Stadium. For information about him in general, see his article on MarioWiki.
Boshi is a retired character on Super Smash Stadium, and was the very first character to debut in the show's "Mêlée Era", which technically began late in Season 14, but articles on Fantendo have claimed lasted through Seasons 15 to 35 for simplicity. Debuting alongside Mt. Lavalava, he notched 24 appearances in the little-over-two years he was active.
(By comparison, the next character to debut, Porky, is the oldest surviving Mêlée Era character.)
==In his own universe==
Despite being classed as a Yoshi series character, Boshi has never appeared in any Yoshi games. Rather, he appears in Super Mario RPG, where he's an apparent rival of Yoshi. At some point prior to the game's events, he'd won a Mushroom Derby race, and used his victory to violently take over Yoshi's Island, cancelling the Derby in the process so he could essentially rule for life. With Mario's help, Yoshi beats Boshi in another race. However, Yoshi declines the chance to be Yoshi's Island's new ruler, essentially continuing Boshi's reign, although Boshi does promise to play fair going forward.
His entire physical appearance just screams 1990's.
==Attributes==
A semi-clone of Yoshi, natch, Boshi was considered a heavyweight fighter and was much stronger than his green counterpart. Unusually for a heavyweight, however, he was extremely fast...so much so that he was the second-fastest character in the game at the time, right behind Captain Falcon. (Today, he'd be the fourth fastest, after Sonic and Shulk with a Speed art active.) He had to pay for this extreme speed, however, by being very difficult to control on the ground. He had even worse traction than Luigi, and couldn't stop to save his life.
This was important, however. As the first Mêlée Era character to debut, Boshi's ultra-low traction made him the perfect candidate to test out the then-new mechanic of wavedashing. His low traction allowed him to perform Smashes while still moving on some stages!
===Changes===
None.
===Moveset===
Entrance: Character entrances didn't exist while Boshi was active.
Move Name 	Description
Shield 	Just like Yoshi, Boshi used a Yoshi Egg for his shield. See Yoshi for all the advantages and disadvantages of that.
Neutral Special:
Egg Lay	See Yoshi. Boshi also got a Yoshi Cookie out of the deal that restored him 1% for every four frames an opponent stayed in the egg (so, 15% if they stay in for a full second).
Could not kill.
Side Special:
Charge Up	Boshi charged up speed for up to 6 seconds, increasing his speed by however long you held . The boosting worked the same way that stat-boosting moves do in the Pokémon games, so at one second, Boshi's speed would increase by 1.5×, then 2× for 2 seconds, 2.5× for 3 seconds, and so on. However, there was an incentive to not charge Boshi up all the way: he'd potentially go completely out of control at higher speed levels! The boost lasted 15 seconds.
Could not kill.
Up Special:
Egg Throw	Again, see Yoshi. Boshi's difference, however, is that he threw a bigger egg, which made the move more powerful, but slower. Despite being an up special, he could not use this move as a recovery, as was the case with Yoshi's version of the move until Season 36.
Killed at 100%.
Down Special:
Boshi Bomb	Again, see Yoshi. Boshi's version of the move was slower, but stronger.
Killed at 75%.
Final Smash:	Final Smashes didn't exist while Boshi was active.
