Bob-omb Derby



Bob-omb Derby is a minigame in Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers. It is set in the Mario Stadium, and is played during nighttime. A roulette will start, and the player must press the A Button in order to stop it. It will land on a certain image, and a machine that looks like F.L.U.D.D. will shoot out a Bob-omb at the player. The player must then hit the Bob-omb, in order to score a Home-Run. A Home-Run is always succeeded, but sometimes it will become a Foul Ball for going past the boundary line.

The Bob-omb will be a different speed depending on the image:
 * Mushroom: The Bob-omb will be slow, and will be easy to hit.
 * Fire Flower: The Bob-omb will travel at the normal speed rate of the normal Baseball.
 * Star: The Bob-omb will be somewhat fast.
 * Fireball: The Bob-omb will zoom pass the batter very fast, making it harder to hit.
 * Big Bob-omb: A large Bob-omb will be shot out at a random speed and, if hit, will score more points then a normal Bob-omb
 * Question Mark: One of the previous Bob-omb speeds except for Big Bob-omb will be fired.

The player can score more points if they keep hitting the Bob-ombs, without missing one. This is called a Combo. However, a combo can easily be thrown off if a Bob-omb is missed.

In Mario Super Sluggers, it is the same. Also, the F.L.U.D.D.-like cannon is replaced by a normal one.
