'''Autobomb'''
|image=[[File:SMA Autobomb with Shyguy Artwork.jpg|160px]]<br>Artwork of an Autobomb with a Shyguy driving it from ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''
Autobombs are Shy Guys that ride on cannons with wheels. Shooting fireballs, they plauge the land of Sub-Con, they work for Wart. On the side of their cannons is the letter "M". This probably stands for Wart's japanese name, Mamu, and was unchanged for the American version. When Mario or one of his friends threw the Shy Guy rider off, he or she could ride on the cannon. This was required on some levels.

'''Autobombs''' are large, wheeled cannons which launch projectiles and can be ridden on.

==History==
===''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2''===
[[File:Autobom.png|thumb|left|150px|Original ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' artwork and sprite]]
In ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Autobombs are utilized by red [[Shy Guy|Shyguy]]s as a means of transportation and offense. They pursue and shoot fiery projectiles at the player. It can travel down steps but not up. If the Shyguy is removed, the Autobomb stops shooting and travels in a straight line. The player can then ride it, but not control it or pick it up. In some levels, riding an Autobomb is mandatory in order to cross large, [[Spike Trap|spike-filled gaps]]. The Autobomb itself can be destroyed with a thrown object. Autobombs were originally black, white and red, but were recolored to a shade of teal in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version, and light gray in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
[[File: AutobombCartoon.jpg|thumb|130px|An Autobomb from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'']]
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', Autobombs, never referred to by name, only made an appearance in the episode "[[Koopenstein]]". An Autobomb first appeared in the episode when [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are captured by [[Mouser]] and a group of Shyguys. Later, [[Toad]], when surrounded by Shyguys, manages to light the fuse of a nearby Autobomb using a [[Piranha Plant]], causing it to blast the surrounding Shyguys, creating a distraction that allowed Toad to escape.

==Trivia==
*In the original instruction booklet, the "M" emblazoned on the side is red and a different shape on the sprite, whereas it is white in-game.<ref name=stroller/><ref name=machine/> While the artwork is redrawn in later releases, it is still depicted as red instead of white. Said "M" may also stand for Mamu, the Japanese name of [[Wart]], or Muu, the original name of [[Subcon (species)|Subcon]].
*The ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' instruction booklet states that the Autobomb shoots the shells of bad dreams, and that because of that, it is also known as a terrifying stroller.<ref name=machine/> This may be a remnant of earlier versions of the game where Autobombs shot [[Bullet Bill]]–like rounds instead of fireballs, which can be seen in pre-release material.<ref>{{cite|title=[[tcrf:Prerelease:Yume Koujou: Doki Doki Panic|Prerelease:Yume Koujou: Doki Doki Panic]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=February 1, 2021}}</ref> The ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet removes mention of projectiles and instead states that it is also known as a "bad dream machine."<ref name=machine/>
