'''King Bob-omb''' (formerly known as '''Big Bob-omb''') is the king of the [[Bob-omb]]s. He is mostly recognized for being the first boss fought in the game ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]. Guarding the [[Power Star]], which [[Bowser]] entrusted him with, he does not give it up without fighting the player. After his debut, King Bob-omb became a recurring boss in later games, specifically spin off games such as ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. King Bob-omb, like other certain bosses, takes pride in his royal status.

King Bob-omb first appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', under the moniker of the "Big Bob-omb". In the game, [[Mario]] merely has to run around to the back of him, pick him up, and toss him three times. If Mario runs into Big Bob-omb after tossing him, but before he gets back up, the former will take damage, likely to prevent the player from picking the king back up immediately. After the third throw, Big Bob-omb will give up the [[Power Star]]. If he is thrown off the mountain or baited into walking off, he accuses Mario of cheating and the battle starts over. After defeating him, the [[Bob-omb Buddy]] at the beginning of the level will express gratitude and note that the Big Bob-omb is now "just a big dud", in other words, defeated.
In ''Super Mario 64'', the Big Bob-omb, also named '''Bomb King'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #42. Page 22.</ref> or '''King Bob-Omb''',<ref>''Nintendo Official Magazine'' (UK) issue 54. Pages 21 and 24.</ref> is found at the top of the mountain on the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]]. [[Mario]] merely has to [[dash|run]] around to the back of him, pick him up, and toss him three times. If Mario runs into the Big Bob-omb after tossing him but before he gets back up, the former will take damage, likely to prevent the player from picking the king back up immediately. After the third throw, the Big Bob-omb will give up the [[Power Star]]. If he is thrown off the mountain or baited into walking off, he accuses Mario of cheating and the battle starts over. After Mario defeats him, the [[Bob-omb Buddy]] at the beginning of the level will express gratitude and note that the Big Bob-omb is now "just a big dud," in other words, defeated.


In the remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the Big Bob-omb is fought twice. The first time is as [[Yoshi]], and instead of picking him up, [[Yoshi]] had to grab the [[Bob-omb]]s thrown at him with his tongue and spit them back at him before they explode in [[Yoshi]]'s mouth. Yoshi can also lead a Bob-omb to explode next to him. After being hit by three Bob-ombs, he is defeated. The second time, he can only be defeated by one of the three unlocked heroes and by using the same strategy as in ''Super Mario 64''. If the first mission is done as Mario, Luigi or Wario, he says something different for each of them at the start and the end of the battle, relating to their moustaches. He also received a slight redesign, being given large white gloves and pointed shoes aside from the yellow spheres he had in earlier iterations. He retains this look in every subsequent appearance.

Instead of picking him up, Yoshi has to grab the [[Bob-omb]]s thrown at him with his tongue and spit them back at him before they explode in Yoshi's mouth. Yoshi can also lead a Bob-omb to explode next to him; if the player is one of the other three player characters or wearing their [[cap]]s, the original method from ''Super Mario 64'' can also be used. After being hit by three Bob-ombs, the Big Bob-omb is defeated. The second time, he can be defeated only by one of the three unlocked heroes using the same strategy as in ''Super Mario 64''. If the [[Big Bob-omb on the Summit|first mission]] is played as Mario, [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]], the Big Bob-omb says something different for each of them at the start and the end of the battle, relating to their mustaches; in the [[Big Bob-omb's Revenge|fourth mission]], he uses identical dialogue for all characters. If the player touches him as he is knocked down, they will take damage. He also received a slight redesign, being given large white gloves and pointed shoes aside from the yellow spheres he had in earlier iterations. He retains this look in every subsequent appearance aside from ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', which ignores ''Super Mario 64 DS''{{'}}s redesigns in general.

In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', King Bob-omb is known as Big Bob-omb like in ''Super Mario 64''. He is the leader of the [[Bob-omb Mafia]] which protects [[Shroom City]], and lives in the basement of [[Mushroom Condo]]. When the player encounters him, he is sitting on a throne with two Bob-ombs next to him. He then challenges the player to the dice game, where the player and Big Bob-omb roll dice blocks, and the one with the higher number three times wins. If the player wins, they get the [[Gaddget]] [[Stress Press]]. The ending states that he retired and moved to the jungle, and [[Bob-omb (character)|Bob-omb]] becomes his replacement.

King Bob-omb appears in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' on the board, [[King Bob-omb's Powderkeg Mine]]. If any players land on an [[Event Space]], a countdown will tick down. If the countdown reaches 0, King Bob-omb will explode, causing any player around him to lose half of their coins. After the explosion, King Bob-omb will return, and the countdown restarts. Unlike previous ''Mario Party'' installments, here King Bob-omb's voice reuses voice clips from older games such as ''Super Mario 64''. In the Partner Party version of the board, Gold Rush Mine, the spaces which trigger the countdown are completely random each round and are not labeled, so landing anywhere within the vicinity of King Bob-omb has the chance to trigger a countdown and/or explosion.

Mega]] challenge of the [[Dry Bones Cup]] in the [[Wild West Tour]], in a similar vein to [[Hammer Bro]] and [[Nabbit]]'s debuts in the [[Baby Rosalina Tour]] and the [[Exploration Tour (2020)|2020 Exploration Tour]], respectively. He uses a brand new item called the [[Giga Bob-omb]] as his special item throughout the race. He became playable in the [[Pirate Tour]], marking his playable debut in the ''Mario Kart'' series and the ''Super Mario'' franchise in general. Starting with the [[Rosalina Tour]], King Bob-omb became a regular High-End driver. The [[Ninja Tour (2021)|2021 Ninja Tour]] introduced a gold variant of King Bob-omb with silver eyes and a silver crown, named '''King Bob-omb (Gold)''', which is also classified as a High-End, but utilizes the [[Coin Box]] as his special item.

King Bob-omb appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' as the boss of [[Mount Brrr]], making his official ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series debut and first appearance in an RPG overall. He is placed in charge of the paper terrain operation on Mount Brrr, and retains his voice clips and regal demeanor from ''Super Mario 64''. When King Bob-omb finds that the Mario Bros. have discovered his operations, he threatens to self-destruct, forcing the trio to battle him.

When King Bob-omb finds that the Mario Bros. have discovered his operations, he threatens to self-destruct, forcing the trio to battle him.


King Bob-omb's boss fight is unique in that it involves a special countdown timer, similarly to [[Pi'illodium]]. If King Bob-omb is not defeated within four minutes (three minutes in the Boss Battle Ring), he explodes and deals a lot of damage to potentially cause a [[Game Over|game over]]. If at least one Bro survives the final explosion, the party does not gain any [[EXP]] or coins. He attacks by throwing Bob-ombs at the trio, attempting to pick up Mario or Luigi before throwing them at Paper Mario, or by rallying a large red bomb at Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario in a sequence. If the trio successfully counter the red bomb rally, King Bob-omb's timer can occasionally be set back by a minute, to King Bob-omb's shock; most likely due to his unbalanced state afterwards. However, this is not always the case, as the timer can sometimes remain untouched. All of King Bob-omb's attacks have a high chance to give a Dizzy status if not counter-attacked. Due to the timer in the battle, [[Boo Biscuit]]s cannot be used; due to his crown, he is immune to [[Jump]] attacks and certain [[Bros. Attack]]s, such as [[Rocket Blast]] or the second half of [[Mega Thwonk]].
King Bob-omb's boss fight is unique in that it involves a countdown timer, similar to [[Pi'illodium]]'s self-destruct timer from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', being set at four minutes (three minutes in the [[Battle Ring (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Ring]]). If King Bob-omb is not defeated within time limit, he explodes and deals devastating amounts of damage to each Bro nine times, enough to potentially cause a [[Game Over]] if [[Guard|Emergency Block]] isn't used. If at least one Bro survives the explosion, the battle is won, but players will not earn any of the associated rewards for doing so.
 
King Bob-omb attacks by throwing Bob-ombs at the trio which if stomped on will turn around and damage him back, attempting to pick up Mario or Luigi before throwing them at Paper Mario which can be prevented by hammering his hand right as the bro is about to be picked up, or by rallying a large red bomb at Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario in a sequence which is knocked back with the hammer. If the trio successfully counter the red bomb rally, King Bob-omb's timer will be set back by a minute, to King Bob-omb's shock; most likely due to his unbalanced state afterward.

King Bob-omb retains all of his attacks from ''Super Mario 64''; throwing Bob-ombs as well as picking up and throwing one of the Bros. His only new attack is the red bomb rally. Additionally, he is one of the few bosses in the game to not feature a chase attack in his moveset.

King Bob-omb appears as a boss in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. He is a ranged enemy, attacking by throwing Bob-ombs, and his [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]] is Rain of Pain.

He also appears in a post-game level where he is fought in the first and third rounds. In the first round, he must be defeated in under 60 seconds and in the third round he fights alongside [[Broque Madame]] and must be defeated in under 90 seconds. Oddly during this level, his special skills cannot be denied much like a [[Malatone Formula:X]]-infected enemy, despite not being infected himself.

===''Dr. Mario World''===
King Bob-omb appears as an assistant in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'', though unlike most assistants, he is obtained solely through winning battle boxes in the game's versus mode (in a similar vein to [[Banzai Bill]]), where he can be obtained starting from Tier 3 onwards. In stage mode, he grants a chance that two viruses are eliminated when starting a stage, but won't completely eliminate any that requires multiple hits to be eliminated, such as floatie viruses. In versus mode, he grants a chance that the doctor's attack sends an extra row of viruses to the opponent's side of the field.

While King Bob-omb himself does not appear in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', in [[The Last Spark Hunter]] DLC, [[Kanya]] created two robot models after his likeness (albeit with [[Rabbid]] ears), [[Mecha King Bob-omb]] and its prototype, [[Proto Mecha King Bob-omb]].

He falls asleep a few seconds in, even during the ruckus created by [[Ice Mario|Ice Peach]]. To then disperse the various minions surrounding her, Peach burns a spear and tosses it at King Bob-omb, igniting his fuse, waking him up. Everyone runs in fear, while King Bob-omb starts panicking, only to sigh before exploding. The explosion he causes hurts Peach, making her lose her ice form in the process.

===Physical description===
===Physical appearance===
King Bob-omb has a circular, explosive body. The color of his body is black just like in the first games, but is sometimes shown in a dark purple tint like in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. His large eyes and body shape are identical to a Bob-omb's, although he has no visible wind-up keys or fuses (as he wears a bejeweled crown), and he has a large white mustache. Originally, he was depicted with yellow spheres as hands and smooth shoes, but this was changed to white gloves and pointed shoes and he has retained this appearance from ''Super Mario 64 DS'' onward. His method of attack, which involves throwing his opponents, is like that of [[Chuckya]], an enemy similar in appearance; he is also defeated in a similar way. In his artwork for ''Mario Party: Star Rush'', King Bob-omb has visible scratches on his body.

His method of attack, which involves throwing his opponents, is like that of [[Chuckya]], an enemy similar in appearance; he is also defeated in a very similar way. In his artwork for ''Mario Party: Star Rush'', King Bob-omb has visible scratches on his body. In ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'', King Bob-omb has a more visible fuse peeking out of his crown, unlike in the games.

===Personality===
Line 106: Line 132:
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', King Bob-omb retains the regal aspect of his personality, but is now more stolid, using as few words as possible. He acts like a perfectionist, going as far as to initiate his own self-destruction to protect the secrets of his operation. He still believes in mustaches as signs of power, with his incredulity upon defeat only sated when he realizes that the Bros. also sport fine mustaches of their own.

|desc2=The ruler of all Bob-ombs. What makes him different from his explosive subjects is his size, his moustache and the fact that he has a crown. He also doesn't have a wind-up key on his back. Instead, he's got two arms, which he presumably uses to wind up his subjects. ...And now you know who does that job!
