Bob-omb Buddy: Difference between revisions
This continues to the next issue too, even though the other pages of that issue use Bob-omb Buddy.
(→Mario vs. Donkey Kong: This doesn't belong. If we're just doing reddish Bob-ombs in general we may as well include the red and pink ones in PM and TTYD.) |

'''Bob-omb Buddies''' (sometimes called '''Red Bob-ombs''', '''Pink Bob-ombs''',<ref>(June 10, 1998). [https://web.archive.org/web/19980610064256/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/2-3.html Course 2 - Star 3: Shoot in the Wild Blue]. ''Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy'' (Internet Archive: Wayback Machine). Retrieved March 15, 2022.</ref> or '''Buddy Bob-ombs''')<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 188, page 77.</ref> are recurring allies to [[Mario]] of the [[Bob-omb]] species, introduced in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They can be differentiated from the foes by their distinct pink or red color, their silver-colored caps on their tops, instead of the usual fuse, and their silver windup keys, signifying their pacifist and peaceful nature. Similar red or pink Bob-ombs appear among others colors in certain games, such as ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', but are not treated specifically as Bob-omb Buddies. | |||

Bob-omb Buddies reappear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', serving the same role that they had in the original game. However, additional Bob-omb Buddies have been placed in the courses that can either help Mario and his allies by giving the locations of the eight [[Red Coin]]s in whatever level they are in, or detect the three [[cap]]s that the player can use to transform into other players. Bob-omb Buddies have updated designs in this game. They wear shoes, unlike the Bob-omb Buddies in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They also have little fuses that are hard to see on their caps. In addition, Bob-omb Buddies appear in several [[minigame]]s in this game. | Bob-omb Buddies reappear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', serving the same role that they had in the original game.

In the first mission, [[Return of the Whomp King]], they ask Mario to defeat the [[Whomp King]] for them. Later on in the second and third missions, [[Silver Stars in the Whomp Fortress]] and [[Whomp Silver Star Speed Run]], respectively, one Bob-omb Buddy hides five [[Silver Star]]s around the fortress, and Mario has to go find them. One of the Bob-omb Buddies mentions that Mario looks familiar, referencing ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]. This happens even with [[Luigi]]. | ||
One Bob-omb Buddy makes an additional appearance on [[Starship Mario]], standing on a stump after Mario completes the first mission in the Throwback Galaxy.
