Buzz-Bomb

A Buzz-Bomb is a bizarre combination of a Bob-omb and a Para-Beetle that appeared in the Nintendo Adventure Book "Monster Mix-up".

A Buzz-Bomb resembles a regular Bob-omb, though it has a small set of wings sprouting from its back, allowing it to fly somewhat haphazardly. Like a Bob-omb, a Buzz-Bomb will explode after some time, though a Buzz-Bomb's explosion seems more volatile than that of regular Bob-ombs, as it is mentioned that a Buzz-Bomb's explosion obliterated at least forty-seven other creatures. Buzz-Bomb was presumably created by Bowser and his Monster Mixer.

Trivia

 * Buzz-Bomb may be named after the V-1 Buzz bomb, an alternate name for one of the first ever guided missiles, although it is more likely that its name is simply a portmanteau of "Buzzy Beetle" and "Bob-omb". Buzz-Bomb's name is also similar to that of the Sonic the Hedgehog enemy Buzz Bomber.
