A Bomb Bud is an item in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. It resembles a large, black fruit, but when plucked, it looks like a Bob-omb with no legs. They can be found in Gloomy Woods and they are used to destroy the electrical gates, and also to harm Kamek in the mission Outta the Way, Kamek! The trio can use Trio Grab to grab a Bomb Bud, but if held for too long, it explodes on them. In addition to their near-identical mechanical purpose, Bomb Buds bear heavy resemblance to Bomb Flowers from The Legend of Zelda, making them a likely reference to the franchise.

Bomb Buds reappear in Mario & Luigi: Brothership on Skorcheen Island and inside the Brrrning Sea, Great Lighthouse Island. In this game, a brother can pick up and hold one by himself, and Mario and Luigi can also toss it back and forth to each other.
