A Bob-omb Buddy, as seen in Super Mario 64.

The Bob-omb Buddies are recurring allies to Mario of the Bob-omb species. They can be differentiated from the foes by their distinct pink (sometimes red) color. In their first appearance, Super Mario 64, the Bob-omb Buddies helped Mario by opening cannons for him, and were shown to have a longstanding rivalry with the evil Bob-ombs, as this was the first time both groups were at war.
