Bob-omb Orb
A Bob-omb Orb (originally called a Bob-omb Capsule) is an Orb in Mario Party 5, Mario Party 6, and Mario Party 7.
History[edit]
Mario Party 5[edit]
In Mario Party 5, a Bob-omb Capsule can be thrown onto a Red or Blue space on the board or used on the player for free. Its effect is activated when a player passes (or lands on) the space containing the capsule three times. On the third, a Bob-omb lands in the player's arms and explodes, causing them to lose 20 coins. If another player is standing on the space, they lose 20 coins, too. If the player triggers the capsule by using it on themselves, the Bob-omb counts from 1 to 0 immediately, and it explodes on the player and deducts 20 coins, as if the player crossed the Capsule Space a third time. This explosion also affects any players in the same space as the person who self-activated it, making it a way to sacrifice coins to penalize opponents (of if the player has no coins whatsoever, penalize opponents without penalizing themselves).
Mario Party 6[edit]
In Mario Party 6, players can place a Bob-omb Orb on a Red or Blue Space as a Roadblock Character Space. Opponents that pass a space containing the Orb cause a Bob-omb to explode on them, cutting the remaining number of spaces they can go in half rounded up; if the player is under the effect of a Metal Mushroom Orb, they simply kick away the Bob-omb. If players have a low amount of spaces left, the Bob-omb can cause them to stop their movement, behaving similarly passing a space with a Thwomp Orb placed.
Mario Party 7[edit]
In Mario Party 7, Bob-omb Orbs can be found only on Pagoda Peak. Opponents that pass a Roadblock Character Space containing a Bob-omb Orb make a Bob-omb blow up on them, sending them down to a lower part of the board. Like Mario Party 6, players kick away the Bob-omb when under the effect of a Metal Mushroom Orb.
