Speed Down is a recurring power-down item in the Bomberman series.
Description[]
The Speed Down decreases a player's speed by 1. Although, Geta has similar effects to Speed Down, Speed Down has started to appear in the more recent Bomberman games. This item's appearance is similar to the Speed Up item, except this item has the roller skate facing to the right instead of the left, and there is a red arrow pointing down.
Strategy[]
Having more speed-up items can make a player hard to maneuver around Hard Blocks. If this is the case, decreasing speed may help to make it easier to maneuver. In some games, your speed can goes below the standard level, so in general, it's best to avoid this item as much as possible.
