'''Bob-ombs''' (originally formatted as '''Bob-Ombs''')<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet, page 25.</ref> are living, moving mechanical [[bomb]]s with eyes, feet, and windup keys on the back. They are generic enemies that first appeared in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', a non-''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game that was later remade as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and have appeared in nearly every ''Super Mario'' game since then. Their appearance, intelligence, and status with [[Mario]] differ widely from game to game. They are usually a bluish-black, but some variations are [[Bob-omb Buddy|pink or red]]. They also flash red and sometimes make beeping sounds if they are about to explode.

 

====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====

Bob-Ombs (unhyphenated as '''Bob Omb''' in the cast roll) first appear in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they are a semi-common enemy that worked for [[Wart]]; they first appear in [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-3]]. They chase the player for a short while before exploding, dealing damage to nearby enemies, player characters, and [[brick wall]]s. However, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are also able to pick up, carry and throw Bob-Ombs (though Bob-Ombs explode even when held). They are often dropped from the sky by [[Albatoss]]es, and also emerge indefinitely from certain [[jar]]s. Certain Bob-Ombs can be found under [[grass|grass tufts]] from [[World 5 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5]] onwards, which explode even quicker. Unlike in future games, Bob-Ombs in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' have arms, and they also lack the wind-up key. In the NES version, both their arms and hands are red, and their fuses are not visible, but in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version, ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', their hands are beige and their fuses are visible.

In Japanese, this incarnation is known as「ボブ」(''Bobu'', Bob);<ref name=DDP>''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' instruction booklet, page 33.</ref><ref name=SMUSA>''Super Mario USA'' instruction booklet, page 28.</ref><ref name=SMA>''Super Mario Advance'' Japanese instruction booklet, page 32.</ref> however, the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' instruction booklet strongly implies that the enemy was previously seen in an earlier game, presumably referring to ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]''.<ref>「{{ruby|歩|ある}}いている{{ruby|姿|すがた}}はかわいいが、{{ruby|光|ひか}}り{{ruby|出|だ}}すと{{ruby|要注意|ようちゅうい}}。{{ruby|仲間|なかま}}までぶっ{{ruby|飛|と}}ばすぞ。よーく{{ruby|見|み}}るとどこかで{{ruby|見|み}}たことがあるなぁ。」 (''Its walking looks cute, but be very careful when it flashes. It even blows away companions. Take a nice look and you have seen it somewhere.'') - ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' Japanese instruction booklet, page 38.</ref>

[[File:Bomb-omb SM64.png|thumb|A Bob-omb's in-game model in ''Super Mario 64'']]

Bob-ombs are common enemies in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. They first appear on the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]]. Bob-omb attack patterns in this game are different and more aggressive than before. When a Bob-omb spots the player, it lights its fuse and then rushes towards them from behind, attempting to damage them when it explodes. Unlike in 2D ''Super Mario'' games, Bob-ombs do not harm the player upon contact. Their explosion, however, damages the player by two wedges of health. Bob-ombs can be defeated by being kicked or picked up from behind and thrown. This causes them to explode away from the player, leaving behind a [[coin]]. Explosions caused by the bombs can also damage other enemies within the blast. After the player character walks away from the area, the Bob-ombs then respawn. Bob-ombs can sometimes be seen operating [[cannon]]s, such as on the Bob-omb Battlefield. These Bob-ombs do not chase the player, but they still explode if picked up.

The boss of the Bob-omb Battlefield is a giant Bob-omb, appropriately named the [[King Bob-omb|Big Bob-omb]]. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', he can also throw normal Bob-ombs. Bob-ombs are one of the only enemies in these two games to respawn sometime after they are defeated. They also appear in the minigame [[Bob-omb Squad (minigame)|Bob-omb Squad]] as [[Parabomb|Para-bomb]]s and the minigame [[Sort or 'Splode]] alongside Bob-omb Buddies.

Bob-ombs<ref>Averill, Alan, and Jennifer Villarreal. The ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Player's Guide. Page 69.</ref>, also called '''Bomb-ombs'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 19.</ref> (or '''Bomb-Ombs'''<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 67.</ref>) and '''Neji Bombs'''<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide. Page 7.</ref>, appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', but much differently than in any other game. 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 areas: first in [[Pinna Park]] and later in [[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 "Episode 5: King Boo Down Below" of [[Sirena Beach]]. They would sometimes appear when 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 will spontaneously leap forward through the air and explode upon impact.

Bob-ombs reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. They act as they do in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and walk back and forth trying to damage the player. If Mario stomps on them or throws a [[fireball]] at them as [[Fire Mario]], they become stationary and explode after a few seconds. Before they explode, Mario can pick them up and throw them. Their explosions can destroy almost all types of blocks, sometimes allowing the player to access [[Star Coin]]s. They appear in [[World 4-5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|Worlds 4-5]] and [[World 7-5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|7-5]], and in the battle with [[Monty Tank]] in {{world-link|6|castlen|World 6-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}} A Bob-omb variant called [[Kab-omb]] makes its first appearance in this game, only appearing in [[World 8-8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-8]].

 

They also appear in some of the minigames which were reused from ''Super Mario 64 DS''.

Bob-ombs can also appear during the {{world-link|8|tower|World 8-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-Fortress}} boss fight with [[Kamek|Magikoopa]]. If he hits one of the platforms with his magic, it may turn into a lit Bob-omb.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====

Bob-ombs reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They can be shaken to light their fuse. Due to them not appearing in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' game style, they were given new sprites. They have been given more detailed sprites in the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' style than they originally appeared. By jumping on them, they stay still and their fuse ignites, and after a few seconds, they explode. They can also be made bigger or made to fly. They can destroy [[Hard Block]]s, [[Ice Block]]s, [[? Block]]s and [[Brick Block]]s. When a Bob-omb explodes near coins, the coins fall out of the air and disappear after a few moments. Bob-ombs in this game can also be ignited by [[Yoshi]], fire-related objects, being crushed, and other Bob-ombs.

In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', Bowser throws Bob-ombs at Mario during his battle in [[Bowser's Bob-ombing Run]]. When Mario jumps on a Bob-omb, it flies forward. When Mario hits Bowser with three Bob-ombs, he is defeated. They also appear in [[Airship Plunder]], where they can be kicked to destroy crates. While walking, Bob-ombs explode upon contact with a [[Spike Ball]] or a [[Fire Bar]], and can be defeated by attacking them with [[Roll|a landing roll or a rolling jump]].

 

Bob-ombs also appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. In absence of the shaking function, lit Bob-ombs are now added by holding a regular version and tapping the lit variant. As with many enemies and items, Bob-ombs can be given a parachute to become [[Parabomb]]s. Unlike the majority of enemies, Bob-ombs do not exhibit any unusual behavior in the Ground courses during the night.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', Bob-ombs are only found in [[Fluff-Puff Peaks Flying Battleship]]. They are exclusively fired from cannons.

Bob-Ombs appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', where they make common appearances by being thrown by [[Albatoss]]es, [[Mouser]], and sometimes [[Bowser|King Koopa]]. In "[[Rolling Down the River]]" a variant known as the "[[Black Pit Bob-Omb]]" appears, where it is used to create a large black pit in an attempt to stop the [[Ding Bell]]. In "[[Stars in Their Eyes]]", after Mario's spaceship crashes onto Mouser and squishes him, he throws some flat Bob-Ombs at Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad. In "[[Toad Warriors]]", Bob-Ombs were used as weapons by [[State Troopa]]s. In "[[The Unzappables]]", King Koopa (under the alias, "Al Koopone") bowls a limbless Bob-Omb to blow up the vault door, causing a bunch of gold coins to fall across the bank. In "[[Escape from Koopatraz]]", Mario carves a wooden Bob-Omb decoy in order to trick a Goomba guard into giving him the prison keys so that he could allow Princess Toadstool to escape her cel. The decoy eventually foams and Mario quickly throws it away. In "[[Flatbush Koopa]]" several Bob-Ombs were used to blow up the [[Brooklyn Bridge]], as King Koopa had briefly conquered [[Flatbush]] at the time.

=====Episode appearances=====

*[[Butch Mario and the Luigi Kid]]

*[[Two Plumbers and a Baby]]

===''Yoshi'' franchise===

====''Yoshi''====

Bob-ombs will show up in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'' in the A-type mode if the player has hatched a certain number of eggs (50-59 on NES and 60-69 on Game Boy) before getting a [[Game Over]]. If the player fails to make a Yoshi appear in the bonus game, a Bob-omb will be in its place. Their graphics are actually reused from ''[[Super Mario World]]''{{'}}s [[Parabomb]]s.

 

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Bob-ombs, referred to in-game as '''Bob-bombs''', appear during Page 5-4: [[Shy Guy's Ship]], where they are fired by the [[Shy Guy Galleon]]'s [[cannon]]s. They also appear during [[Yoshi]]'s battle with [[Baby Bowser]] at the end of the game, where Baby Bowser attacks the hero by throwing Bob-bombs at him from the back of his large green "[[Ghost (Yoshi's Story)|pet]]." Yoshi can use these Bob-bombs against him by licking them up and throwing them at Baby Bowser himself for damage or at the ceiling of the room, causing large spikes from the ceiling to fall onto Baby Bowser. Either eventually knocks him off the back of his pet so that Yoshi can battle him hand-to-hand.

 

Bob-bombs in this game are uncharacteristically defeated instantly if stomped.

In the live-action 1993 [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.'' film]], a Bob-omb appears after [[Mario (film character)|Mario]] and [[Luigi (film character)|Luigi]] escape the de-evolution chamber. As they are fleeing from [[President Koopa|Koopa]]'s [[Goomba (film species)|Goomba]]s, Luigi notices that a [[The King|fungus]] growth appears to be offering them the explosive, but Mario drags him away before he can accept it. Later, after they leave the [[Boom Boom Bar]], the fungus again offers them the Bob-omb. This time, Luigi manages to grab it before he and Mario escape.

Bob-ombs also appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', where they first appear in the [[Coal Mines]]. Here, they are normal enemies roaming around [[Moleville]]'s local mining mountain, although they are featured quite prominently in the battle with [[Punchinello]]. In said battle, Punchinello summons three Bob-omb-type enemies (including new types, [[Microbomb]]s and [[Mezzo Bomb]]s) for every three defeated, each getting larger and more powerful every "stage" or Punchinello's remaining health. Towards the end of his battle, a seemingly insane Punchinello tries his Bob-omb-summoning act one more time by creating [[King Bomb|a huge Bob-omb]], although this one only ends up squishing him and allowing Mario and his party to collect the [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Piece]] he was guarding and save [[Dyna & Mite]]. In battle, Bob-ombs have average stats and no special attacks; however, when threatened, they can explode in a kamikaze attempt to cause one ally a lot of damage.

In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', there are [[Mini Bomb Kart]]s which resemble Bob-ombs. Additionally, [[Mushroom Bridge]] and [[Mushroom City]] in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and [[Moonview Highway]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' feature [[Bob-omb Car]]s, which are similar to Mini Bomb Karts and very similar to Bob-ombs.

====''Mario Kart DS''====  

The [[Bob-omb Orb|Bob-omb Capsule]] is found like capsules. The player can obtain in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''. It must be landed on or passed three times to activate it, and the opponent who does so loses twenty coins. Additionally, in Super Duel Mode, two of the possible vehicle parts are Bob-omb Cannon and Bob-omb Wall.  

Bob-ombs appear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' in the minigame [[Bob-omb Aplomb]]. Here, the players must kick them off their rock platform before they can explode. Bob-ombs also appear as tiles in the minigames [[Match Faker]] and [[Tap Dash]], and as a constellation in the minigame [[Starring Artist]].

A Bob-omb may pop out of an egg in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s remake of ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|Fire]]''. If a Bob-omb makes it to the carriage, it explodes inside it, causing the Mario Bros. and the patients to flee; this results in a miss.

In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s version of ''[[Parachute (Game & Watch)|Parachute]]'', a Bob-omb may be fired from the cannon. [[Mario]] has to avoid getting it, or else he is forced into the water, where a [[Cheep Cheep]] is lurking. The player gets a miss if this occurs.

A Bob-omb also appears in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ''[[Egg (Game & Watch)|Egg]]''. If the Yoshi eats one, the player gets a miss, regardless of whether Mario is present or not.

In addition to being an item throughout the series, Bob-ombs have also made appearances as [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]] and a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', the player can obtain a Bob-omb trophy when it appears at random in single-player modes, such as Vs. Mode, [[Home-Run Contest]] or the Lottery. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a Bob-omb appears as an Advanced-class support spirit that occupies one support slot. When used on a fighter, it equips them with a Bob-omb item at the start of a battle. The spirit's puppet fighters are three black [[Kirby]]s with increased movement speed, fought on the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom Kingdom]] stage. Aside from the Spirit Board, the Bob-omb spirit can also be obtained from Sheldon's Place for 1,000 Spirit Points.

Bob-ombs appear both as allies and enemies in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. A few can first be found in [[Koopa Village]]. These Bob-ombs explained to [[Mario]] and his partners that they had been kidnapped and enslaved by the [[Koopa Bros.]]. When Mario reaches the [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]] he finds (and is attacked by) several Bob-ombs employed by [[Bowser]]. These Bob-ombs have two basic attacks: the first is simply to ram themselves into Mario, and the other is to light themselves, walk up to Mario, and explode right next to him. It appears that Bob-ombs can explode at will and as many times as they want outside of battle.

Bob-ombs appear in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. Where they only appear in the mini-games [[Bob-omb Derby]], where the player must hit the Bob-ombs into the air for various points, and in [[Piranha Panic]], the player can throw one at a Piranha Plant to earn three points.  

 

In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', they are used as items on the outfields in the game. They also return in the mini-games [[Bob-omb Derby]] and [[Piranha Panic]] as well as the new ones, [[Ghost K]] and [[Bowser Pinball]]. Also, Wario's Star Swing involves him pulling out a Bob-omb and hitting it towards the field. In the fourth and final cinematic, Bob-ombs are used during a freestyle home run derby exhibition at [[Mario Stadium (baseball stadium)|Mario Stadium]], where [[Mario]] and [[Donkey Kong]] hit them into the sky, and they explode into a display of fireworks.

====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''====

In the [[Nintendo DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'', Bob-ombs appear as one of the enemies to be sorted in [[Conveyor Belt (minigame)|Conveyor Belt]]. They also appear as an enemy in [[Shoot!]], where they will blow up and cost the player a life if hit.

Bob-ombs appear as enemies in [[Snow Machine Fight]] in the Nintendo DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', where they slowly walk around and explode a short amount of time after being hit by a snowball and deal damage to any characters caught in the explosion.

 

Bob-ombs appear in [[Dream Rafting]] in the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'', where at various points throughout the event they will be dropped or come out of [[Barrel]]s onto the raft. The characters can [[Ground Pound]] to knock the Bob-ombs off the raft, though will be knocked down or off the raft if they are hit by an explosion. The player can earn points for removing Bob-ombs, and occasionally, bonus points can be earned for removing all of the Bob-ombs from the raft.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', Bob-ombs have a relative named [[zeldawiki:Bombite|Bombite]], which exhibit different behavior.

 

A Bob-omb-like [[Yoshi]] transformation<ref>[[tcrf:Proto:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/ys romX 0#Bomb|Proto:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/ys romX 0#Bomb]]. ''The Cutting Room Floor''. Retrieved October 30, 2021.</ref> was supposed to appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' before being [[list of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island pre-release and unused content|removed]] from the game.

[[File:Mariocameo3LEGOCU.png|thumb|A Bob-omb in ''{{wp|LEGO City Undercover}}'']]

A Bob-omb can be built in the Wii U and Nintendo Switch versions of ''{{wp|LEGO City Undercover}}'' in order to unlock Chan Chuang as a playable character.

|''[[Mario Party]]'' (as Bob-omb Buddies)

Bob-ombs also have been used as items in several ''Super Mario'' sports titles. In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', they are [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]]'s signature item. When thrown, they stand still for a moment before exploding, throwing any nearby drivers into the air. If the radius is fading, it only causes a spinout. In [[Mushroom City]] and [[Mushroom Bridge]], [[Bob-omb Car]]s can be seen, and if a player accidentally drives into one, it will explode like the Bob-ombs that Wario and Waluigi use as Special Items. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Bob-ombs return similarly, as they did in ''Double Dash!!'', but this time, it can be used by any character instead of being a special one. Curiously, in the remake version of Mushroom Bridge, Bob-omb Cars do not appear. The Bob-ombs also return in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as a regular item and an obstacle in [[Moonview Highway]] as a Bob-omb Car.
