Big Bully

A Big Bully is a large Bully that appears in the games Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. Like their smaller counterparts, Big Bullies resembles large black spheres with yellow horns and green shoes. These creatures reside in Lethal Lava Land. They resemble large Bob-Ombs.

In battle, a Big Bully will ram into its enemy, attempting to shove him or her into the lava. These attacks do not actually damage the opponent; however, if pushed into the lava, the opponent will receive massive damage and will possibly die.

During the events of Super Mario 64, Mario (or Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi, depending on the version) fight two Big Bullies in Lethal Lava Land. Both are keepers of a Power Star. The first one appears on a central platform in the lava level. In battle, the Big Bully's thick hide prevents Mario from damaging the enemy. As such, Mario must give the Bully a taste of his own medicine and push the large monster into the lava. To defeat a Big Bully, Mario should punch, kick, or stomp the Bully backwards, causing the monster to fall into the molten rock. The lava will then cause the Bully to melt, destroying the enemy and releasing a Power Star.

The second Big Bully is a little bit more difficult to discover. On a different platform, Mario must defeat three regular Bullies in combat. This is harder than it seems, as the three Bullies gang up on Mario, forcing the plumber closer to the lava. After defeating the three baddies, a Big Bully will fall from the sky and immediately attack the heroic plumber. Again, Mario must push the large Bully into the lava, causing the massive monster to melt (and release another Power Star).

Additionally, Big Bully makes an appearance in Mario Kart DS. In this game, Big Bully is the first boss of Mission Mode. Only Yoshi may face the Big Bully. This is interesting since Yoshi can only fight Big Bully in Super Mario 64 DS by wearing a special Mario, Luigi, or Wario cap.
