'''Alarm Bob-ombs''' are a species of [[Bob-omb]] enemies found in conjunction with sleeping [[Naplock]]s during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. They resemble small black and gold alarm clocks. They retain their wind up keys and feet, but they gain round button-noses and their eyes are replaced with the hands of a clock. Their only form of attack is to dash back and forth across the screen in front of the player making an irritating beeping noise; in order to counter them, [[Bowser]] must punch with good timing to hit them and end the attack (if he does not, an accompanying sleeping Naplock will reach out and hit the Alarm Bob-omb on the top of its head to turn it off, canceling the attack). If Bowser chooses to swallow them with his vacuum attack, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] must do the same thing with their [[hammer]]s. However, inside Bowser, there is no Naplock to turn the Bob-omb off, and if they take too long, the enemy will begin to flash bright red, ring loudly, and eventually explode, damaging one of the Bros. and possibly causing the [[Dizzy]] status. If an Alarm Bob-omb is destroyed outside of Bowser, any sleeping Naplocks will wake up.

'''Alarm Bob-ombs''' are a species of [[Bob-omb]] that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. The Bob-ombs resemble small black-and-gold alarm clocks with wind-up keys and feet; their faces have round button-noses and clock hands that are angled to resemble angry eyes. The remake's shading also shows they have flat faces. [[Prima Games]]' strategy guide for ''Bowser's Inside Story'' erroneously refers to the bell on Alarm Bob-omb's head as a spike, and that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] cannot [[jump]] on it, even though they are safe to jump on in battle.
 
Alarm Bob-ombs only appear in battle alongside [[Naplock]]s in [[Peach's Castle]], while it is under [[Fawful]]'s control.
 
==Battle==
Their only form of attack is to dash back and forth across the screen in front of [[Bowser]], hopping in place often and making an irritating beeping noise. Bowser must [[punch]] them when they line up with him to damage them and stop the attack; the explosion can damage and [[dizzy]] him. If not stopped soon enough, it begins to flash red and ring louder, alerting any Naplock that is present and sleeping; if there is one, it will reach out to hit the Alarm Bob-omb on its head, canceling the attack themselves. Alarm Bob-ombs explode upon defeat or successfully running into Bowser, and the explosion will wake up all sleeping Naplocks in the battle; this gives them the [[POW-Up]] status in the original game, or the Dizzy status in the remake.
 
Bowser can inhale Alarm Bob-ombs via [[Vacuum Block]]. Inside [[Bowser's body]], they use the same attack on the Mario Bros., who must counter with their [[hammer]]s. Since there are no Naplocks to turn it off here, they must land the [[counterattack]] quickly before it turns red and runs into them; the explosion will do significant damage and [[dizzy]] Mario or Luigi.
 
Alarm Bob-ombs return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', where they additionally appear as enemies in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode. They only appear in the level [[Explosive Troops]] for one battle. Alarm Bob-ombs are melee troopers and are weak against [[Broozer]]s.


==Profiles and statistics==
Alarm Bob-ombs return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', where they additionally are found as enemies in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode. They are melee troopers and, because they are mechanical, are weak against [[Broozer]]s.
