King Bob-omb



Big Bob-omb, sometime called King Bob-omb because of his crown, is the first boss you'll fight in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. Guarding the Power Star, Bowser entrusted him with, he won't give it up without a fight. In SM64, you merely have to run around to the back of him, pick him up, and toss him 3 times. Only then will he give up the Star. But don't throw him off the mountain, or he will accuse you of cheating and you will have to start over. He is chivalrous, a trait not seen in many Marioverse characters.

In SM64DS, you actually fight him twice. The first time is as Yoshi, and instead of picking him up, you have to lick up Bob-ombs he throws as you, and spit them back at him before they explode in your mouth. Three Bob-omb hits, and he's down. The second time you fight him, you have to be Mario, and use the same strategy used in SM64.

He made a cameo appearance in Mario Party 5 in one minigame and in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour on a golf course. Hitting him will make him explode and in ring mode you must hit a ring he's wearing.

In Mario Party Advance he is the leader of the Bob-omb Mafia which protects Shroom City.

He became an item in Mario Superstar Baseball in a minigame and produced around 400-500 points causing fireworks to appear.

In Mario Kart DS, Big Bob-omb is a boss in Mission Mode. Similar to SM64DS, you have to pick up Bob-ombs and throw them at him.

He looks and attacks very similar to Chuckyas, even more so than Bob-ombs. Unlike most (or all) Bob-ombs, he has arms and spherical hands.
