These cars first appeared in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash'', where they act as obstacles on [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]] and [[Mushroom City]]. Bob-omb Cars detonate when they are hit with an item or when a driver rams into them. Hitting a Bob-omb Car has the same effect as getting blown up by either a Bob-omb or a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]. After exploding, Bob-omb Cars will respawn from certain hidden passages. On Mushroom Bridge, Bob-omb Cars appear from the pipe shortcut's entrance. In Mushroom City, the Bob-omb Car comes out of the alleyway on the left when players go down the hill and onto the left when someone hits one of the existing bombs on the lower level, and in the "Do Not Enter" alleyway on the upper level. If the player attempts to block the Bob-omb Car from coming out multiple times, the Bob-omb Car will reprogram itself to come out in an area that will evade the player, assuming they do not move their [[kart]]. The Bob-omb Car is also invincible from blowing up within the first three seconds of its respawn. Despite having a lit fuse, a Bob-omb Car never explodes on its own.

After being removed from {{classic|GCN|Mushroom Bridge}} in ''Mario Kart DS'', Bob-omb Cars return in ''Mario Kart Wii'' on [[Moonview Highway]] as obstacles, where they are mostly unchanged, though windup keys have been added on the back of these cars to resemble actual Bob-ombs. Unlike in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash''  they will respawn in the location where they blew up, and they can now blow up within the first three seconds of their respawn. Bob-omb Cars have also appeared in the ''Mario Kart Wii'' [[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments|competitions]]. The competitions that they appeared in included September 2008 and May 2009's first competitions.  
After being removed from {{classic|GCN|Mushroom Bridge}} in ''Mario Kart DS'', Bob-omb Cars return in ''Mario Kart Wii'' on [[Moonview Highway]] as obstacles. Their base has been simplified and windup keys have been added on the back of these cars to resemble actual Bob-ombs. Unlike in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash''  they will respawn in the location where they blew up, and they can now blow up within the first three seconds of their respawn.

A model for the Bob-omb Car existed within the game files of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', though it was removed in the 2.0.0 update.<ref>https://tcrf.net/Mario_Kart_8_Deluxe#Unused_Models.</ref>
