Bomb Plants are a special type of Bob-Omb/vegetable hybrid that grows underground. They are seen only in a few episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, and they are inspired by the vegetables, bombs, and Bob-Ombs that can be plucked from the ground in Super Mario Bros. 2. Bomb Plants are depicted as limbless Bob-Ombs with long leaves. In "Butch Mario & The Luigi Kid," unlike normal Bob-Ombs, Bomb Plants are not shown to have control over their explosions. Even after a Bomb Plant is plucked out of the ground, the fuse of a Bomb Plant does not go off automatically; instead, one must tear its leaves out from the main body to trigger the fuse, much like pulling the pin from a grenade.
