Template:Minigame-infobox Bombard King Bob-omb (known as Bombard Big Bob-omb in the PAL release) is a boss minigame in Mario Party 9.

Introduction

The camera shows the front of the platform, where King Bob-omb is raised into the room.

Gameplay

The objective of the game is to defeat King Bob-omb by tossing normal Bob-ombs at him. Small Bob-ombs are worth one point, medium-sized ones are worth two, and big ones are worth three. Every turn, four Bob-ombs are transported onto the platform via conveyer belts, and players choose which one to toss by pushing one of the buttons shown; however, if two or more players pick the same bomb, they will run into each other and be temporarily dazed, preventing them from throwing one. Once King Bob-omb loses half of his health, he tosses Bob-ombs at the players who fail to throw a Bob-omb, causing them to lose one point.

When two players are playing, King Bob-omb also has the opportunity to pick up a Bob-omb. While his health is above half, he simply throws the Bob-omb backwards and disallows the player from throwing it at him. However, if his health has reached halfway and this happens, King Bob-omb instead throws the Bob-omb at the players, causing them to lose one, two, or three points, depending on the size of the Bob-omb that he throws.

The player who lands the final attack earns an additional three points, and the player with the most points wins the minigame.

Ending

Once King Bob-omb is defeated, he falls onto his back and explodes, revealing several Mini Stars in Party or Solo Mode.
