Mega Bob-ombs[1] are a large variation of Bob-ombs with a wider range of explosion.
History[edit]
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
A big Bob-omb is shown once in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Crimes R Us". When the Koopalings attempt to rob the Mushroom Kingdom Treasury, they are thwarted by Mario, Luigi, and Crime Wave Clyde. King Koopa pulls up two dollar sign bags into the Doom Ship above, expecting a billion gold coins, but the bags contain the Koopalings tied-up and a lit big Bob-omb. It explodes in a display of fireworks as the Doom Ship retreats.
Mario Strikers series[edit]
In Super Mario Strikers and Mario Strikers Charged, the Mega Bob-omb appears as an item. It is similar to the Bob-omb items, but instead of several Bob-ombs falling in a row, the Mega Bob-omb falls on one spot and explodes, hitting anyone nearby. However, it affects the user's teammates as well, so the item should be used with caution. Wario may also use this in one of his disappointment scenes in Mario Strikers Charged, in which he pulls out a Mega Bob-omb, which explodes on him.
Mario Sports Mix[edit]
Mega Bob-ombs also appear in Mario Sports Mix in the dodgeball game called Bob-omb Dodge, and are more dangerous than ordinary Bob-ombs. They have a wider blast range than the normal Bob-omb in this game, and cause twenty-five points of damage to the players.
Mario & Luigi series[edit]
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]
Mega Bob-ombs also appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, both in the field and in battle. On the field, they have a 3D model with flat, textured-on feet.
The Elite Trio has an attack where Corporal Paraplonk gives Sergeant Guy a Mega Bob-omb. Sergeant Guy chases Mario toward the screen with it, with Private Goomp and the Sub-Goombas caught in the middle. If Mario can avoid being hit by the fleeing Goombas, the Mega Bob-omb explodes on the Elite Trio, hurting Corporal Paraplonk, Sergeant Guy, and any Goombas who did not escape during the chase. If Mario is hit, he trips and Sergeant Guy catches up to him. The Goombas get away while Sergeant Guy throws the Mega Bob-omb at Mario, where it explodes and only damages Mario. The Elite Trio X has the same attack.
An infinite supply of Mega Bob-ombs roll down set paths in Neo Bowser Castle, indicated by rails. In some areas, they have to be avoided, as contact with one will cause it to explode blast Mario and Luigi back to last stable location they stood in. These Mega Bob-ombs eventually fall into the lava and despawn. In other areas, the Mega Bob-ombs roll across cordoned off areas with fans in the middle. The fans can hold or push the Mega Bob-ombs into the air, depending on their setting. Mario and Luigi have to switch the settings on the fans by hitting their buttons with Hammer to allow the Mega Bob-ombs to cross the fans, so that the Mega Bob-ombs can reach other rails and roll into fenced off areas. Usually, they hit a button that lowers the fence, which opens access to dreampoints. Sometimes, they can lower other fences. Allowing a Mega Bob-omb to collide with the wall on the opposite side of the fans, the side of one of the fans, or a ? Block, will cause it to explode. However, in the last case the ? Block is activated and dispenses coins. They also explode if they fall from too great of a height and after reaching the relevant button. Mega Bob-ombs can roll from one room to another. After Antasma is defeated, the Elite Trio try to stall Mario and Luigi by rolling Mega Bob-ombs down the final tower before they reach Bowser. These also launch the brothers back to their last stable location. Once the two reach the top, the Elite Trio try to tackle them and end up falling down the tower, meaning the Mega Bob-ombs they were rolling down the tower stop appearing. After Dreamy Bowser is defeated, Mega Bob-ombs rain down as Mario and company try to flee the collapsing lair.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]
Mega Bob-ombs appear in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam as obstacles in the Safe by a Sandslide mission as well as projectiles used by Roy in the Back Atcha, Roy! mission and by Bowser in the Bombs Away mission. They appear slightly smaller than in the previous game, lack feet, and are generically referred to as "bombs".
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS[edit]
In Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, the player can make a Bob-omb bigger with a Super Mushroom. Aside from size, there is no difference between big and regular Bob-ombs except for explosion radius. In addition, they can be given wings, stacked on other enemies, placed in Koopa Clown Cars, among other level elements.
Super Mario Maker 2[edit]
Mega Bob-ombs return in Super Mario Maker 2, having the same functions as in its predecessor. This time, they can be given parachutes.
Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]
In Paper Mario: Color Splash, Mega Bob-ombs act as explosive material to destroy the black paint mixing room of Black Bowser's Castle. This marks their Paper Mario debut.
Mario Tennis Aces[edit]
In Mario Tennis Aces, a large Bob-omb is used by the bandit boss in the final stage of Shy Guy Train Tussle. When the bandit boss's health is fully depleted, he will throw a single large Bob-omb at the players. The Bob-omb must be rallied back and forth between each player and the bandit boss until it explodes on the enemy and defeats it.
