They are black orbs with a digital interface, and feet resembling those of a wind-up toy. After a certain amount of time, its screen displays a countdown from three, exploding at zero. However, if Mario sprays them with [[F.L.U.D.D.]] they turn blue and freeze, and they can then be picked up and thrown by Mario. They can still explode in this form.

They appear in three episodes: first in [[The Beach Cannon's Secret]] of [[Pinna Park]] and later in [[Uncork the Waterfall]] of [[Noki Bay]]. Both times, they are under the control of [[Monty Mole]], who throws the bombs from their tank cannons once [[Mario]] gets too close for the mole to shoot [[Bullet Bill]]s. To defeat the Monty, the player must spray water on the Bob-ombs and then pick them up and throw them at the tank. The player must do this three times, after which the Monty Mole is defeated. The third time they appear is in [[King Boo Down Below]] of [[Sirena Beach]]. They can sometimes appear when [[King Boo (Super Mario Sunshine)|King Boo]] spins the slots to the enemy pictures.

Oddly, if the player picks up one of these Bob-ombs and then gently places it down instead of throwing it, the Bob-omb spontaneously leaps forward through the air and explodes upon impact.
