King Bob-omb: Difference between revisions

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 the strict time limit of four minutes (three in the Boss Battle Ring), he will self-destruct and deal enough damage to potentially cause a [[Game Over|game over]]. If at least one Bro survives the final explosion, the party will not gain any [[EXP]] or coins. However, a [[battle card]] can be used to make this boss battle significantly easier. The timer can be set back by using a [[Battle Card#List of Battle Cards|battle card that adds five minuted to the timer]]. If both the regular and shiny versions of this card are used, then the timer can be set back by ten minutes, essentially negating the effect of the time limit. King Bob-omb 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]].
