Page 88.</ref> are a variant of [[Bully]] that first appears in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Like their normal counterparts, Big Bullies are black spheres with yellow horns and green round feet.


A '''Big Bully''' is a large [[Bully]] that appears in the games ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Like their smaller counterparts, Big Bullies resembles large black spheres with yellow horns and green shoes. These creatures reside in [[Lethal Lava Land]]. They resemble large [[Bob-omb]]s.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:SM64DS Big Bully Battle.png|thumb|200px|left|Wario fights a Big Bully in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.]]
In ''Super Mario 64'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', there are two Big Bullies in [[Lethal Lava Land]]. They are fought in the first two missions, [[Boil the Big Bully]] and [[Bully the Bullies]], respectively. When battling [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]], the Big Bully tries to shove him into the [[lava]], but the Big Bully cannot injure him directly. The main difference with Big Bullies from their normal counterparts is that they are capable of knocking the player character back farther. Likewise, the player character cannot directly harm Big Bullies, so to defeat them, the player character has to knock them into the lava by either [[punch]]ing, [[kick]]ing, or [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing them.


In battle, a Big Bully will ram into its enemy, attempting to shove him or her into the lava. These attacks do not actually damage the opponent; however, if pushed into the lava, the opponent will receive massive damage and will possibly die.  
In Boil the Big Bully, the player character must go to a square-shaped platform near the north-center of the course, which is where he encounters a Big Bully. If the player character knocks the Big Bully onto the sinking platform next to its own, it tries to return to its normal place and stops fighting the player character. When the player character defeats the Big Bully, he earns a [[Power Star]].


[[Image:Gran Bronco.PNG|left|thumb|The Big Bully appears in ''Mario Kart DS''.]]
In Bully the Bullies, the player character must go to a stone platform to the right of the platform with the first Big Bully. The player character must first defeat the three regular Bullies for the Big Bully to fall from the sky onto the platform. Like in the first battle, the player character must knock the Big Bully into the lava to get a Power Star.  
During the events of ''Super Mario 64'', [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]], [[Wario]], and [[Yoshi]], depending on the version) fight two Big Bullies in Lethal Lava Land. Both are keepers of a [[Power Star]]. The first one appears on a central platform in the lava level. In battle, the Big Bully's thick hide prevents Mario from damaging the enemy. As such, Mario must give the Bully a taste of his own medicine and push the large monster into the lava. To defeat a Big Bully, Mario should [[punch]], [[kick]], or [[stomp]] the Bully backwards, causing the monster to fall into the molten rock. The lava will then cause the Bully to melt, destroying the enemy and releasing a Power Star. If he is pushed onto the sinking platform next to his own, he wil try hard to return to his normal place and even stop fighting Mario.


The second Big Bully is a little bit more difficult to discover. On a different platform, Mario must defeat three regular Bullies in combat. This is harder than it seems, as the three Bullies gang up on Mario, forcing the plumber closer to the lava. After defeating the three baddies, a Big Bully will fall from the sky and immediately attack the heroic plumber. Again, Mario must push the large Bully into the lava, causing the massive monster to melt (and release another Power Star).
In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Big Bullies have a metal collar at the bottom of each horn. They also have a red marking on a side of each eye. Similarly, [[Chief Chilly]] has a blue marking in the same places.

Additionally, Big Bully makes an appearance in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. In this game, Big Bully is the first boss of Mission Mode.  
====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
While normal Big Bullies do not appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' or its [[Nintendo Switch]] port, ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', [[Prince Bully]] is one and fulfills a similar role.


==Relatives==
====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
*[[Bully]] &ndash; ''[[Super Mario 64]]
Big Bullies reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' exclusively in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, acting as they did in ''Super Mario 64''. They can be created by giving Bullies a [[Super Mushroom]] to make them grow.

===''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''===
In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', the name "Big Bully" can appear on the leaderboard.
 
===''Mario Kart DS''===
[[File:Mario Kart DS Big Bully.png|thumb|Big Bully and Yoshi prepare to battle in ''Mario Kart DS''.]]
In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', a Big Bully is the [[List of bosses|boss]] of the first level of the [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|Missions]] mode. Yoshi is the character selected to fight the Big Bully. Like with the other bosses, the Big Bully's appearance is retained from ''Super Mario 64 DS'', although he is a lot bigger than in both versions of ''Super Mario 64'', being around the size of [[Chief Chilly]].
 
In the battle, the Big Bully tries to charge Yoshi into the water. There are three balloons attached to Yoshi's [[kart]], and they represent his health. If Yoshi falls into the water, he loses a balloon. To attack the Big Bully, Yoshi must drive into an [[Item Box]], which always gives him [[Triple Mushrooms]]. Yoshi must use the Triple Mushrooms to charge into the Big Bully, which knocks him back. When Yoshi knocks the Big Bully into the water, he wins the mission, and the Level 2 missions are unlocked.
