The Super Spirit Bomb (超元気玉, Chou Genki Dama) is a larger and more powerful version of the Spirit Bomb used by Goku. It was powered by the energy of every person on the newly revived planet Earth. It was used as a final attack to defeat Kid Buu on the Supreme Kai Planet.
After Goku's Super Saiyan 3 power diminshes because he is too tired from the intense fight with Kid Buu, Vegeta orchestrates a plan to create a Spirit Bomb strong enough to destroy Kid Buu. The plan is to resurrect the then destroyed Earth and to bring back to life everyone on the planet. That way every person will give their energy to the Spirit Bomb. The other Z-Fighters and their friends and family hear Goku and Vegeta's voices and give their energy to the Spirit Bomb. However, the people of Earth simply ignore them, since they have doubts about the voices.
But Hercule convinces the people to give their energy to him so he can destroy Kid Buu. With Hercule's encourage, all of the people of Earth give their energy to the Spirit Bomb, making the Super Spirit Bomb. With the Super Spirit Bomb finally complete, Goku launches the attack at Kid Buu.
However, Kid Buu is strong enough to stop the attack and push it back at Goku, who is too exhausted to stop it. Dende then uses the last wish of the Namekian Dragon Balls to restore Goku's strength back to normal. With his strength back, Goku transforms into his Super Saiyan form and pushes the Super Spirit Bomb back at Kid Buu. After several moments reflecting over the events that led to this moment and wishing he would come back as a better person so they can fight again, Goku destroys Kid Buu once and for all.
For unexplained reasons, despite the fact that the Frieza Saga implies that the Spirit Bomb if charged to it's maximum, would destroy an entire planet, the Super Spirit Bomb, which was believed to be far more powerful than the Namek Spirit Bomb, barely made a scratch to the Supreme Kai Planet.
[edit] Video game appearances
In the video games, when Goku uses this attack and it successfully hits the opponent, he transforms into a Super Saiyan, and blows up the Super Spirit Bomb (in the anime when the Spirit Bomb was being pushed his way before recovering his power and turning Super Saiyan, he had to push it back).
In Dragon Ball Z: Super Sonic Warriors 2, it appears as a Team Super Attack, inflicting great damage, depending on the Dragon Power of the foe the player is facing. (If the damage is set to Extra-Heavy in the options menu, the attack can result in a one-hit knockout). Also, on Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 and Infinite World, instead of pushing the Super Spirit Bomb, he launches a one-handed wave attack, similar to the Angry Kamehameha.
