Bob-Ombs (unhyphenated as '''Bob Omb''' in the cast roll) are enemies in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', serving under [[Wart]]'s command alongside the other enemies. In Japanese, this incarnation is known as「ボブ」(''Bobu'', Bob);<ref>{{cite|title=''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' instruction booklet|page=33|date=1987|publisher=Nintendo|language=Japanese}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario USA'' instruction booklet|page=28|language=ja|publisher=Nintendo|date=1992}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=スーパーマリオアドバンス (''Sūpā Mario Adobansu'') instruction booklet|page=32|language=ja|publisher=Nintendo|date=2001}}</ref> They first appear in [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-3]]. They chase the player for a short while before exploding, dealing damage to nearby enemies, player characters, and [[brick wall]]s. However, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are also able to pick up, carry and throw Bob-Ombs (though Bob-Ombs explode even when held). They are often dropped from the sky by [[Albatoss]]es, and also emerge indefinitely from certain [[jar]]s. Certain Bob-Ombs can be found under [[grass|grass tufts]] from [[World 5 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5]] onwards, which explode even quicker. Unlike in future games, Bob-Ombs in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' have arms, and they also lack the wind-up key. In ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and the original ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', both their arms and hands are red, and their fuses are not visible, but in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version, ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', their hands are beige and their fuses are visible.

Bob-ombs appear again in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

Bob-ombs appear in three episodes: first in [[The Beach Cannon's Secret]] of [[Pinna Park]] and later in [[Uncork the Waterfall]] of [[Noki Bay]]. Both times, they are under the control of [[Monty Mole]], who throws the bombs from their tank cannons once [[Mario]] gets too close for the mole to shoot [[Bullet Bill]]s. To defeat the Monty, the player must spray water on the Bob-ombs and then pick them up and throw them at the tank. The player must do this three times, after which the Monty Mole is defeated. The third time they appear is in [[King Boo Down Below]] of [[Sirena Beach]]. They can sometimes appear when [[King Boo (Super Mario Sunshine)|King Boo]] spins the slots to the enemy pictures.

Bob-ombs appear once again as generic enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. In this game, they usually endlessly spawn from Warp Pipes and walk around aimlessly until they explode. They make their first appearance in {{world-link|3|castle|World 3-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. In this game, their fuses light when they are hit by a fireball coming from either [[Fire Mario]] or a [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]], and they instantly explode if they hit lava or a flame from a [[burner]]. Like in other games, jumping on a Bob-omb or hitting one with a Fire Flower simply ignites and immobilizes it. Shooting one with a fireball from Fire Mario causes a coin to appear, and an additional coin appears for every time it is shot up to five times. Lit Bob-ombs can be reverted back to their mobile state if they are frozen by [[Ice Mario]] or [[Penguin Mario]] and left to thaw out.

In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', Bowser throws Bob-ombs at Mario during his battle in [[Bowser's Bob-ombing Run]]. When Mario [[stomp]]s on, finishes [[Vaulting]] over, or does a [[Vaulting Jump]] on a Bob-omb, it flies forward in an shallow arc. This usually causes it to leave the screen unless it collides with and explodes against certain objects in the way. When Mario hits Bowser with three Bob-ombs, he is defeated. They also appear in [[Airship Plunder]], where they can be kicked to destroy [[crate]]s. While walking, Bob-ombs explode upon contact with a [[Spike Ball]] or a [[Fire Bar]], and can be defeated by attacking them with [[Roll|a landing roll or a rolling jump]]. Bob-ombs do not turn around when they hit walls. Bob-ombs cannot be [[level up|leveled up]].

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Bob-ombs, referred to in-game as '''Bob-bombs''', appear during Page 5-4: [[Shy Guy's Ship]], where they are fired by the [[Shy Guy Galleon]]'s [[cannon]]s. They also appear during [[Yoshi]]'s battle with [[Baby Bowser]] at the end of the game, where Baby Bowser attacks the hero by throwing Bob-bombs at him from the back of his large green "[[Ghost (Yoshi's Story)|pet]]." Yoshi can use these Bob-bombs against him by licking them up and throwing them at Baby Bowser himself for damage or at the ceiling of the room, causing large spikes from the ceiling to fall onto Baby Bowser. Either eventually knocks him off the back of his pet so that Yoshi can battle him hand-to-hand.

Bob-ombs appear both as allies and enemies in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. A few can first be found in [[Koopa Village]]. These Bob-ombs explained to [[Mario]] and his partners that they had been kidnapped and enslaved by the [[Koopa Bros.]] When Mario reaches the [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]] he finds (and is attacked by) several Bob-ombs employed by [[Bowser]]. These Bob-ombs have two basic attacks: the first is simply to ram themselves into Mario, and the other is to light themselves, walk up to Mario, and explode right next to him.

Mario later falls into a prison full of Bob-omb rebels. Mario manages to free the remainder of the enslaved Bob-ombs, one of which is a pink female Bob-omb named [[Bombette]] who joins his party.


Within this game and its follow-up, it appears that Bob-ombs can explode at will and as many times as they want outside of battle. Bob-ombs that serve as in-battle enemies fall over after they explode, defeating them for that battle. As with all foes, enemy Bob-ombs have a standard faint animation on the overworld, and will respawn after enough battles have been fought.
Mario later falls into a prison full of Bob-omb rebels. Mario manages to free the remainder of the enslaved Bob-ombs, one of which is a pink female Bob-omb named [[Bombette]] who joins his party. Some Bob-ombs in this game are shown to be able to explode, and then simply regenerate themselves. Also notable, only Bob-ombs that are allies of Mario can do this.


It is also notable that during the parade, four Bob-ombs appear on the Koopa Brothers' float and explode, then show one of their hands. This is the first time Bob-ombs have been seen with arms and hands after ''Super Mario Bros. 2.'' ''Paper Mario'' also shows that friendly variants of Bob-ombs are available in colors other than pink (like the [[Bob-omb Buddy|Bob-omb Buddies]]), such as red, green, and blue.

Normal Bob-ombs are rare enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. A group of them called [[The Bob-omb Squad]] (led by [[Master Crash]]) can be encountered in [[Glitzville]]. Bob-ombs may also be fought in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].

Although normal Bob-ombs, as enemies, are rare in this game, Bob-ombs are commonly found as NPCs, with most of them living in [[Rogueport]] as sailors. A large group of peaceful Bob-ombs live in the [[Fahr Outpost]], where they are the main inhabitants of the region. Most of these Bob-ombs living in populated areas are friendly towards Mario. This includes an aged Bob-omb named [[Bobbery|Admiral Bobbery]], who becomes one of Mario's partners. Bob-ombs are also used during Mario's ride to the [[moon]] with [[Big Bob]], as the cannon can only fire through the use of the Bob-ombs' explosions.

In battle, Bob-ombs have the same attacks as they did in the first two games. If a First Strike is landed on it before battle or if the enemy is damaged during battle, its fuse becomes lit, and it explodes the next time it comes in contact with Mario. They may occasionally drop a [[Bomb]] [[sticker]] after a battle. [[Shiny Bob-omb]]s are also introduced in this game. [[Bowser Jr.]] also uses a stack of two or three of them as a weapon in battle.

This game is the first in the ''Paper Mario'' series where, when a Bob-omb explodes in battle or on the field, they instantly vanish without a faint animation. If defeated in battle, though, the Bob-omb will perform the usual spin-out fainting animation on the field, regardless of what happened in battle.

Bob-ombs are semi-common enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They appear in [[Beanbean Fields]], and sometimes assist [[Paratroopea]]s and [[Tanoomba]]s as well. If a Bob-omb spots Mario or Luigi in the overworld, it lights its fuse and begins to run around frantically. Its attack pattern is similar to that of the ''Paper Mario'' Bob-ombs; however, they always attempt to blow up their targets, and they can relight their fuses at will. This attack can cause a bro to become [[dizzy]], although it can be countered with a well-timed hammer near the approaching foe (as hitting them also triggers the explosion). When defeated, they occasionally drop a [[Nut]] or a [[Red Pepper]].

There also two other variants that appear in the game, such as the [[Designbomb]], a Bob-omb used by [[Harhall]] that lacks a fuse, instead having a small propeller where its fuse should be, which it uses to fly. Another variant called the [[Time Bob-omb]], a small, maroon Bob-omb with a number on its face, appears during the boss battles with [[Roy|Roy Koopa]], [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]], and [[Larry|Larry Koopa]] in Bowser's Castle.

While regular Bob-ombs do not appear as regular enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', their [[Paper Bob-omb|paper versions]] do. However, regular Bob-ombs appear in the battle with [[King Bob-omb]], where they charge into the player and explode if they are not countered properly and also appear in the [[Dry Bowser]] boss fight when he uses his inhaling attack. In the [[Lemmy]], [[Iggy]], and [[Morton]] battle, regular Bob-ombs also appear when Lemmy throws them in his attack. The Bob-omb thrown will aim for either Mario or Luigi, and when Lemmy gets hit with a Bob-omb in his hand, he will deal some more damage. However, he must be the last Koopaling standing for the attack to happen. Legless Bob-ombs also drop at the player in the mission [[Bye-Bye, Boo]], and are used by [[Iggy]], [[Wendy]], and the player in [[Bombs Away (mission)|Bombs Away]], while [[Bowser]] uses [[Mega Bob-omb]]s.

====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
Bob-ombs appear as enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', first encountered in [[Skorcheen Island]]. In battle, Bob-ombs count down every turn. Once their count reaches zero, they charge at a Bro. who must jump over it. The Bob-omb then chases the same Bro. around in a circle. Just as the Bob-omb is about to explode, the Bro. being chased must jump again, which causes the Bob-omb to explode near the other enemies in the battle, dealing damage to them. Failing to avoid the Bob-ombs' attacks damages both Bros.
 
Seven very strong Bob-ombs are fought in the side quest [[Monster Mania: Level 4]], where they are level 100.

Unlike regular Bob-ombs, the pink Bob-ombs will not stop moving even when they are about to explode. In the [[Level 7-DK+|Level 5-DK+]] battle, the pink Bob-ombs can destroy the blocks on the ground, opening up a [[Spike Trap]].

When fought as enemies, Bob-ombs have very high defenses, which reduces any attribute damage that they take from a single attack to 1 HP. However, their HP is very low, and they take 4-6 turns to attack the player. But when they do attack, their attack is usually fatal.

===Appearance===
Bob-ombs resemble [[bomb]]s with a few differences. The main difference is that they have white eyes, feet, and occasionally arms. Their standard appearance ranges in color between solid black and various off-black colors; most often dark gray or dark blue. Bob-ombs can also be uncommonly found in other colors such as red, brown, and green. In most games, they feature wind-up keys on their backs and fuses, though these are lacking in a few old games. The fuse is usually surrounded by a gray or blue plug. A possible precursor of a Bob-omb can be seen in the {{file link|VSWC bomb.jpg|artwork for a bomb}} in ''[[VS. Wrecking Crew]]''. Curiously, in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' and during the ''Paper Mario'' ending parade, Bob-ombs are shown to have arms. In some games, Bob-ombs are seen to have yellow-orange feet and legs, but others in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' have feet resembling that of a wind-up toy. Upon closer observation, it can be seen that a Bob-omb's feet and legs are a segmented exterior of a potential endoskeleton.
