Bomb Boos are an explosive, black-colored variety of the Boos that first appear in Super Mario Galaxy. Super Mario Galaxy 2. They later make a reappearance in the Mario & Luigi series during the Minion side modes.

History

Bomb Boo Trading Card

In Super Mario Galaxy, Bomb Boos only appear in the Ghostly Galaxy during the missions Beware of Bouldergeist and Bouldergeist's Daredevil Run, where they are necessary to defeat Bouldergeist. Bomb Boos float lazily back and forth, exploding after some time, but they do move towards Mario or Luigi if either of the Bros. get close to them. If the player spins near one, Mario or Luigi will grab its tongue, and continuing to spin will swing the Boo around until it hits something or they eventually lose their grip.

Up to six Bomb Boos can be held at once. If the player holds it for too long, it will begin to flash red and explode soon after, damaging Mario or Luigi.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Bouldergeist re-appears, along with four other Super Mario Galaxy bosses, in the Boss Blitz Galaxy. Because of Bouldergeist's re-appearance, Bomb Boos make a comeback so Mario can damage the boss in the same way as he did in the previous game.

Mario & Luigi series
