| ==History==
| |
| ===''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''===
| |
| Bobo is the fifth boss of ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''. In it, he attempts to hurt [[Wario]] by releasing [[Watch]]es from his mouth or trying to trying blow him off into the [[Pit|pit]] on the side of the battlefield. To defeat him, Wario has to use the Watches to propel himself high enough to be able to [[jump]] on Bobo's head. It takes three jumps to defeat him. Alternatively, Wario can use the [[Dragon Pot]] power to blast Bobo's head or pick up fallen Watches and throw them at Bobo's head three times.

| ===''Wario Land II''===
| | In the original ''Wario Land'', Bobo attempts to hurt Wario by releasing [[Watch]]es from his mouth or using his giant, clawed feet and sharp fangs inside his beak. To defeat him, Wario has to use the Watches to propel himself high enough to be able to [[jump]] on Bobo's head. It takes three jumps to defeat him. Alternatively, Wario can use the [[Dragon Pot]] power to blast Bobo's head. |

| Bobo is the second boss of ''Wario Land II'', where he is considerably smaller than in his original appearance. He only attacks Wario directly in this game by repeatedly swooping down and flying back up again in patterns that change as the battle progresses. Bobo is also able to make wind come up from the ground by flapping his wings, making Wario fly upwards and forcing him back to an earlier section of the boss level unless he [[crouch]]es. He can be defeated by jumping on him six times or [[Ground Pound]]ing him three times. Every two hits (or one hit with a Ground Pound), his attack pattern changes. First it is a large and slow curve, then it is in the shape of a W, and finally it is in three lines with 90 degree sharp turns. In addition, every attack pattern transition forces Wario to stay crouched longer.
