Kick Bomb

Soccer Ball Bombs are bombs introduced in Super Mario 3D World. They are patterned after soccer ball, to indicate that they can be kicked forward. They first appear in : Bowser's Highway Showdown as one of the obstacles, and they are the only way to defeat Bowser when he is riding his Bowser Mobile, where he tosses the bombs from. The explosions are capable of breaking Rock Blocks and defeating enemies.

During the Bowser Mobile boss battles, if the Soccer Ball Bombs are swiped at and connects to Bowser, they will do double the damage, and could allow Bowser to be defeated in three hits instead of nine.
