King Bob-omb

King Bob-omb 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.

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.

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