Bob-omb Blasting

"This is the AMMO DEPOT, not a GARBAGE DUMP! What, do people think they can just toss their trash here and it'll magically disappear? Heyyyy... we have plenty of bombs. Maybe you could use them to blow up all this trash?"

- Gearmo

Bob-omb Blasting is one of the four mini-games in Super Mario Galaxy along with Rolling Ball, Bubble Blowing, and Ray Surfing. It appears in the Battlerock Galaxy and the Dreadnought Galaxy, and involves the use of multiple Bob-omb Dispensers. When Mario or Luigi arrives on the small platform the mini-game takes place on, he is told by a furious Gearmo that people have been dumping garbage in the ammo depot, which is supposed to clean. Mario or Luigi has to use Bob-ombs to blow up all of the trash in under thirty seconds. The Bob-ombs take ten seconds to explode, and the yellow circles mark a good place to throw them. When Mario or Luigi is done, the Gearmo rewards him with a Power Star.

Unlike most mini-games, failing Bob-omb Blasting does not result in the loss of a life.
