Babooms[1][2] are enemies that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They are a new type of Bob-omb developed by Bowser's Minions[1] that resemble firecrackers with white eyes and black feet. Babooms release a series of three fireworks out of their top when stomped on or hit with a fireball, which can be used to break blocks and defeat enemies above them without being able to hurt the player. They first appear in the Fluff-Puff Peaks Flying Battleship, where their ability to destroy blocks is used to progress through the level and access the Wonder Flower, as well as in KO Arena Magma Flare-Up, where Mario and company use them to defeat Piranha Plants and Fire Piranha Plants.

Naming[edit]
