{{quote|Here, have some bomb!|Mouser|Super Mario Advance}}
'''Bombs''' appear in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise as usable explosive objects, and they are based on a widely used cartoon gag that stylizes bombs as merely causing a small flare, unlike real-world bombs, and are most often depicted simply as stereotypical cherry bombs. [[Bob-omb]]s are living enemies based on this stylization as well. [[Mine]]s can be considered their naval counterparts, although they do not always explode.

==History==
===''Mario's Bombs Away''===
[[File:MariosBombsAway2.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Mario holding a bomb from ''Mario's Bombs Away'']]
Bombs in ''[[Mario's Bombs Away]]'' are objects that [[Mario]] has to deliver from one [[buddy]] to another at a military outpost while taking caution not to ignite the bomb by having it touch the torches carried by enemies in the trees or the flames running along the spilled oil on the ground caused by the [[Heavy Smoker]]. If a bomb detonates, it explodes in Mario's face and cause the player to lose a try. Successfully delivered bombs will be passed to each of the five enemies in the trees; once five bombs have been placed, they will simultaneously explode and defeat the enemy troops.

===''VS. Wrecking Crew'' / ''Wrecking Crew''===
[[File:VSWC bomb.jpg|thumb|50px|Artwork from ''VS. Wrecking Crew'']]
[[File:WC Bomb Tile.png|thumb|left]]
Bombs in ''[[VS. Wrecking Crew]]'' are objects that can be hit by a [[hammer]], causing a chain reaction that damages or destroys nearby [[wall (Wrecking Crew series)|wall]]s, opens [[door (Wrecking Crew series)|doors]], and knocks enemies and rival players to the bottom of the stage. Bombs are inanimate objects, although the game's supplementary materials have repeatedly suggested them to be sentient beings, since they are portrayed with legs and a facial expression on the game's instruction card, and are classified as characters in the manual of the game's ''[[Arcade Archives]]'' release.<ref>{{cite|title=''Arcade Archives VS. Wrecking Crew'' in-game manual|page=7}}</ref> Bombs are first seen in Phase 3.

Bombs (referred to as '''dynamite''')<ref>{{cite|title=''Wrecking Crew'' instruction booklet|page=6|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1985}}</ref> appear also in ''[[Wrecking Crew]]'', though they first appear in [[Phase 1 (Wrecking Crew)|Phase 1]] instead, and hitting dynamite in a specific order reveals the [[Golden Hammer]].

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' / ''Super Mario Advance''====
[[File:SMB2 Bomb Sprite.gif|frame|left]]
[[File:SMAS SMB2 Bomb Artwork.png|frame|Artwork from ''Super Mario All-Stars'']]
Bombs (also referred to as '''timebombs'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Bros. 2 Inside Out'', Part I|page=5}}</ref>) appear in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' as objects that can be plucked from [[grass]] patches in the ground and thrown. Bombs start flashing a while after being pulled out of the ground and create a small explosion (containing the word "BOMB") afterward, during which the screen flashes white briefly and destroys any enemies or [[brick wall]]s immediately around it. However, the explosion can also harm the playable characters. Bombs are used by [[Mouser]] to attack the player character, and can be defeated only by throwing his bombs back at Mouser so that they explode on him. The game introduces Bob-ombs, which have the same effect as regular bombs, except they start flashing immediately after being plucked. Original versions color the bombs red, but the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' versions change their color to purple. Bombs in the latter version were given bouncier properties from being thrown.
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the [[Monty Mole]] boss tosses [[Bob-omb]]s to damage Mario. Spraying one with water disengages it and allows Mario to pick it up. Tossing the bomb back at the Monty Mole is the only way to damage it.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Bombs in ''[[New Super Mario Bros]]'' are projectiles dropped by [[Skeeter (New Super Mario Bros.)|Skeeter]]s, and are depicted as blue bombs with a skull icon, which drill through destructible [[block]]s beneath them.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[Bob-omb dispenser]]s release Bob-ombs in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. [[Spin]]ning one turns it into a usable bomb that Mario can pick up. During [[Bob-omb Blasting]], the dispenser only releases useable bombs.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SquizzardBombs.png|thumb|Squizzard throwing two bombs.]]
Bombs in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' appear as giant objects wielded by [[Squizzard]] in the third phase of his boss fight.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
[[File:Lemmy Koopa NSMBU.png|thumb|100px|left|Artwork of Lemmy Koopa holding a bomb]]
Bombs appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' as [[magical ball|rubber ball]]-based objects that [[Lemmy]] uses as his main weapon. The bombs are thrown in an arch-like pattern and bounce along the ground, similarly to rubber balls, except they flash red and explode soon after the player character touches them. The force of throwing bombs incapacitates Lemmy for a short time. A much larger bomb is thrown by Lemmy at the player characters during the third phase of the battle.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
Bombs in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its Nintendo Switch version]] are the form that Bob-ombs take when attacked, losing their feet, face, and wind-up key. Some actual bombs can be found lying on the ground and be carried and thrown by Mario, exploding upon contact with an object. There is also a bomb variant reminiscent of soccer balls called a [[Kick Bomb]]. Rather than picking these up, Mario kicks them on contact, deflecting them. These soccer balls play an integral role in defeating Bowser in his [[Bowser's Muscle Car|Muscle Car]] in World 1 and World Castle of the game.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:SMO Bomb.jpg|thumb|120px|A Bomb in ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]
Bombs appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' as large objects similar to Kick Bombs. They are located in [[Bowser's Kingdom]], a secret area in the [[Seaside Kingdom]], and the [[Dark Side]] (during the battle with [[RoboBrood]]), where they are fired out of [[fortress turret]]s and have a [[Bowser]] emblem imprinted on them. Bombs can be knocked away using a [[Pokio]]'s beak.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
[[File:SMM2-SMB-Bomb.png|thumb|left]]
[[File:SMM2-SMB-BombWalk.gif|thumb|left]]
Bombs appear since the version 2.0 update for ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', as projectiles for [[Link]] to throw when the player collects the [[Master Sword]]. Bombs in this game can hit switches, damage enemies, blow up blocks, and dropped from riding a [[Koopa Clown Car]], which bears a sinister expression while doing so. Bombs in the Night version of the Ground theme spawn limbs and walk for a few seconds before exploding, but can be stopped by hitting them with arrows. Bob-ombs also turn into bombs when they are stomped on in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style like the original game.

===''Wario's Woods''===
[[File:BombsWarioWoods.png|thumb|left|A few multicolored bombs from the SNES version of ''Wario's Woods''.]]
Bombs appear in ''[[Wario's Woods (Nintendo Entertainment System)|Wario's Woods]]'' as Toad's main form of attack when fighting the various monsters that were sent by [[Wario]]. Toad receives these multicolored bombs from his [[sprite]] helper. In order to defeat Wario's minions (as well as the bosses in the game), Toad has to stack the bombs according to their colors; if the color matches a monster's color, it gets destroyed. In the [[Wario's Woods (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES version of the game]], Toad can be seen throwing a bomb at Wario's castle in the ending of the game, causing his castle to get destroyed and allowing peace to return to [[Wario's Woods (location)|Wario's Woods]], as well as the entire [[Mushroom Kingdom]].
{{br}}
===''Club Nintendo'' series===
Bombs in the ''[[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Sag niemals Holerö!]]" are used by [[Bomberman]] to defeat some evil aliens.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' / ''Super Mario RPG''===
Bombs in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] are used by [[Croco]] during his fights. The enemy special move [[Spritz Bomb]] and [[Princess Peach]]'s special move [[Psych Bomb]] also utilize bombs. [[Fire Bomb]]s, [[Fright Bomb]]s, [[Ice Bomb]]s, and [[Sleepy Bomb]] are available as consumable items.

===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' / ''Donkey Kong Land III''====
[[File:Bomb DKC3.png|frame]]
Bombs in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' are small objects thrown by [[Kuchuka]]s at predetermined places, and explode upon landing on the ground. Bombs appear also in the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|version]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' during the [[Kroctopus Krush|boss fight]] with [[Kroctopus]], where they are purple objects that drop from the sky and explode upon contact with Kroctopus' claws, damaging it, as well as the Kongs if they are nearby.

====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
Watermelon-themed variants of bombs called [[Watermelon Fuse Bomb]]s can be found throughout ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. Additionally, some of the bombs thrown by [[Ba-Boom]] are durian-themed, which have shorter fuses, cannot be picked up, and damage the player upon contact.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Bombs in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] can be thrown by certain fighters to attack, including the [[Link]]s. Bombs are also referenced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. When Peach tries to pull a [[vegetable]] from the ground, she may occasionally grab a Bob-omb. The way she plucks a Bob-omb makes reference to the way that she and the other heroes pulled bombs from the ground in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 2''====
In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', [[Bowser's Big Blast]] features a mechanical bomb in the shape of [[Bowser]]'s head in a blue room. The characters take turns to press down each of the five plungers that are connected to the bomb and survive until the end. If a character chooses the wrong one, the bomb will count down from 3 in its eyes, explode, and blast the character out of the game.

====''Mario Party 10''====
Bombs in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' appear in the minigame [[Petey's Bomb Battle]], where they are used to attack [[Petey Piranha]], and are colored depending on who throws them. Any bomb that hits Petey Piranha rewards one point to whoever threw it. Bombs can also be absorbed by Petey Piranha and spat back at the characters that threw them, damaging them and deducting one point.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
Bombs do not appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', though the [[Egg Bomb|Egg Missile]] is functions similarly, since it can be thrown at an enemy, exploding and damaging it.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Bombs do not directly appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. However, three bomb-like items appear: the returning [[Egg Bomb]], now created by giving [[Zess T.]] a [[Mystic Egg]] and a Fire Flower; the [[Coconut Bomb]], created by giving her a [[Coconut]] and a Fire Flower; and the [[Zess Dynamite]], created by giving Zess T. an Egg Bomb and a Coconut Bomb. Like before, the Egg Bomb is thrown at an enemy and exploding to deal damage. The Coconut Bomb is the same as an Egg Bomb, but deals one more point of damage. The Zess Dynamite deals the same damage as the Coconut Bomb, but hits all enemies.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
[[File:BoomerPixl.png|thumb|130px|[[Boomer (Super Paper Mario)|Boomer]], a Pixl from ''Super Paper Mario'', with properties similar to that of a bomb]]
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', there is a bomb-shaped [[Pixl]] named [[Boomer (Super Paper Mario)|Boomer]] that Mario can use to blow up switches, blow up cracks in walls, and defeat enemies. Bombs also appear occasionally when a player stomps on a [[Ninjoe]], a [[Ninjohn]], or a [[Ninjerry]]. These bombs look exactly like Boomer, though unlike Boomer, they can hurt the player. A bomb later appears in [[Sammer's Early Duels#Chapter 6-2: The End of a World|Chapter 6-2]], when [[Mimi]] disguises herself as [[King Sammer]] and tells the player to open a chest in front of them. There is a bomb inside the chest, but it turns out to be a dud. Additionally, the Egg Bomb item reappears, doing 1 [[Heart Point|HP]] of damage to all on-screen enemies.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Bombs in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' are [[sticker]]s sometimes dropped by Bob-ombs. They can be used to attack enemies, however, the attack animation shows that Mario calls forth a Bob-omb to throw at them even though the stickers themselves are called bomb stickers. The Bomb can also be placed into the [[Sticker Museum]] as #94, alongside other enemy-based stickers.

===''Luigi's Mansion'' series===
====''Luigi's Mansion''====
{{rewrite-expand|which size appears where?}}
Bombs appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' as '''Small Bombs'''<ref name=Brady>{{cite|author=Bogenn, Tim|title=''Luigi's Mansion'' Official Strategy Guide|page=11|date=November 21, 2001|publisher=BradyGAMES|language=en-us|isbn=0-7440-0119-6}}</ref> which do 5 damage and '''Large Bombs'''<ref name=Brady/> which do 10 damage, and have a skull emblem on them. [[Purple Bomber]]s will drop a bomb once they are discovered, and bombs are also one of the things [[Boo]]s will place in rooms (the other being a [[Boo Ball]]), which the [[Boo Radar]] will pick up as a Boo reading. Luigi can spray [[water]] at the bombs to get rid of them.

====''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''====
Bombs in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' are objects thrown by ghosts in the [[Old Clockworks]], and a bomb will pop out of furniture in certain rooms if examined. Bombs appear in the [[ScareScraper]] as objects that [[Bomb Brother]]s shield themselves with, and must be removed so that they can be flashed with the [[Strobulb]]. Smaller bombs are dropped by Bomb Brothers repeatedly while being vacuumed with the [[Poltergust 5000]].

====''Luigi's Mansion 3''====
Bombs in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'' appear in the final battle against [[King Boo]], where they are contained in [[Spike Ball|Spiked Ball]]s thrown by him and revealed upon landing on the stage. The player must pick up a bomb using the [[Poltergust G-00]] and shoot it into King Boo's mouth. One phase of the battle includes King Boo and his clones carpet bombing much of the stage.

In [[ScareScraper]] mode, [[Bomb Goob]]s, [[Bomb Hammer]]s, and [[Bomb Oozer]]s are all rare ghosts that lob bombs around.

===''WarioWare'' series===
[[File:WWGIT Splatoon 2.jpg|thumb|left|A bomb timing the [[Splatoon 2]] microgame in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'']]
Bombs appear in every game of the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]] with a long burning fuse that represents the time remaining in the current [[microgame]]. In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' and ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', it is a generic black bomb. From ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' onwards, the bomb is blue and sports Wario's mustache as well as a grin. In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', the countdown timer is replaced by the bomb changing colors from yellow to orange to red. In addition, the bomb is animated and its explosion can be heard. The back of [[Wario]]'s biker outfit depicts the bomb with "Hurry Up!" under it, which is also visible in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]] also uses generic bombs to interact with microgames.

===''Wario World''===

}}
Bombs in ''[[Wario World]]'' appear in several varieties. The purple-colored bomb has a smiley face on it and will explode after a while, even if Wario does not touch it. It is found in [[Unithorn's Lair]] commonly, as it is used as a dud when opening crates. They can also be found randomly in some [[wooden chest]]s. "Regular" bombs also appear as projectiles used by certain enemies. They are purple and have semi-realistic faces on them. They are mainly seen being shot out by [[Ankiron]]s. Bombs are also dropped by [[Cractyl]]s, starting in [[Greenhorn Ruins]]. Bombs are also flaming objects that can be shot from [[Captain Skull]] and damage Wario until they cool off, similarly to some of the later variations of Ankirons. Bombs can be picked up and used as projectiles by Wario himself, although they will explode and damage him after a short time.

===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
Bombs in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' are items that can sometimes be received from [[? Panel]]s by the defending team, and they explode when thrown, knocking everyone within the blast radius down and spilling some of their collected [[Coin]]s.

===''Wario: Master of Disguise''===
Bombs in ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'' appear purple with faces, and they are booby prizes upon failing a [[treasure chest]] minigame. Three are released from a chest at once and explode after a few moments, damaging Wario if he is caught in their blast radius. Their overall appearance and function make them similar to smiley-faced bombs from ''Wario World''.

===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
Bombs in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'' can be used and thrown in order to destroy obstacles such as [[Steel Keg]]s. In later levels, bombs serve as a semi-common weapon used by [[Kritter]]s to attack.

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''====
Bombs in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'' are items in [[Dream Event]]s that are obtained randomly after picking up an [[Item Box]] in both versions. In the [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|Wii version]], they are referred to as an '''Explosion'''. In [[Dream Race (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Wii)|Dream Race]], the player can place them on the ground behind them. They explode when run into and cause the character that does so to lose speed, but can be jumped over. The bombs remain on the course for the duration of the event, and their effect can be blocked if the player is using a [[Super Star|Starman]] or invincibility from a [[Chaos Emerald]]. Bombs also appear as an item in [[Dream Platform]], and can be used to destroy several [[Brick Block|block]]s on the layer directly underneath the player. In the [[Nintendo DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|version]], they perform a similar function in [[Dream Race (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Nintendo DS)|Dream Race]], but cause a larger explosion that can affect multiple players and explode automatically after some time, though their effect can be blocked by using a [[Barrier (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Shield]]. They also appear in sets of three in [[Dream Canoe]], which will cause a character to lose three coins if caught in an explosion, though their effect an be avoided by using a Starman item. They also appear in [[Dream Shooting]], where they are obtained by shooting an Item Box and are used automatically, causing an explosion which damages all of the targets in the area. In [[Dream Fencing (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Nintendo DS)|Dream Fencing]], [[Dr. Eggman]] uses a bomb as part of his [[Special Attack (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games)|Special Attack]].

====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''====
Bombs in the [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|Nintendo DS version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'' are items appearing in [[Ski Cross Racing]], [[Rocket Ski Jumping]] and [[Extreme Snowboarding]], which can be used both forwards and backwards and place several Bombs onto the course that explode when hit or after a short amount of time. Any characters caught in the explosion will lose speed, as well as height in Rocket Ski Jumping. Bombs also appear as one of the objects that can be randomly obtained after hitting the puck into the bonus gate in [[Fever Hockey]], where several will appear on the rink and slowly slide around. They will blow up after a short amount of time or when hit, and will cause any characters caught in the explosion to fall over and lose possession of the puck. They also appear in [[Ski Shooting]] as an item, where they will blow up all of the targets currently onscreen and earn the player the total points for shooting each individually, not including any penalties. 

Bombs in the Wii [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|version]] are items in various [[Dream Event]]s, including [[Dream Alpine (Individual)|Dream Alpine]], [[Dream Ski Cross (Individual)|Dream Ski Cross]], [[Dream Snowboard Cross (Individual)|Dream Snowboard Cross]], [[Dream Short Track]] and [[Dream Ice Hockey]], where a bomb appears in front of all of the opponents when used, and will knock them down and cause them to lose speed if they are caught in the explosion. Additionally, the [[Kiki]]s that appear on the course in Dream Alpine will occasionally throw bombs at the characters that serve the same purpose as the items. In the Individual version of [[Dream Ski Jumping (Individual)|Dream Ski Jumping]], Bombs appear as an item that when used will cause one to appear in front of an opponent, and will cause them to lose height, speed, 10 points and a [[Bonus panel]] if they are caught in the explosion. In [[Dream Curling]], when a Bomb item is used the curling stone will turn into a bomb and explode when it hits something, allowing it to knock over more pins.

===''Wario Land: Shake It!''===
Bombs appear in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' as objects thrown by [[Peek-a-boom]]s. In [[Glittertown]] and [[Neon City]], bombs can also be dropped from the slot machine. The bombs will explode in nine seconds, but the countdown can be stopped if the bomb is shaken. An [[Earthshake Punch]] starts the countdown again. There is also a platform called a [[Bomb Block (Wario Land: Shake It!)|Bomb Block]] that can be used as a platform before it explodes. It can be triggered when touched by Wario or a thrown object, or when Wario performs an Earthshake Punch.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
A huge [[Dark Fawful Bomb|bomb]] created by [[Fawful]] appears in [[Peach's Castle]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]]. Also, in the [[Tower of Yikk]] battle with [[Super Bowser]], the tower launches a bomb that must be knocked back and forth until it explodes.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
[[File:MLDT - BrosAttack 5 SpeedBomb.png|thumb|200px|Mario and Luigi perform Bomb Derby in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'']]
Bombs in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' appear in a number of roles.

[[Shock Bomb]]s are items, which can be used to make all enemies [[dizzy]].

Bombs first appear in [[Dreamy Wakeport]], in areas filled with otherwise indestructible boxes. A button in such an area can be pushed by leaning on it with the [[Luiginoid Formation]]'s stack shape. This causes a bomb to drop from a pipe above Mario and the [[Luiginoids]]. Standing up as the bomb gets closer launches it forward, at one of multiple angles based on the timing. The bomb can destroy the boxes, and cause bombs in the box formation to explode as well. Hitting [[Lil' Massif]] with a bomb surprises him and launches him out of view. Missing the timing makes the bomb bounce off and fall off the screen, where it explodes harmlessly.

Bombs appear in the [[Luiginary Ball]] and [[Luiginary Stack]] games of [[Battle Broque Madame]] as hazards. Touching a bomb disperses all Luiginoids, instantly ending the game.

In the [[Bros. Attack]] [[Bomb Derby]], Luigi passes several bombs to Mario, who bats them into enemies with his hammer. The last bomb is larger than the others. These bombs are similar to Lemmy's from ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
The Bomb Derby attack returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', with the last bomb now dealing more damage than before while all the bombs deal fire-type damage.

====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
Bomb Derby returns as a Bros. Attack in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. 

Bombs also appear when using [[Luigi Logic]] during the [[Sharpcask]] boss fight. Starting with the second time Luigi Logic is used, bombs must be avoided when stacking crates on top of Sharpcask. If a bomb hits the stack, a crate is destroyed.

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
Bombs in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' are utilized by [[Bomb Guy]]s to attack, and they are thrown on an arc and remain in place after they land on the ground, exploding a while afterwards. Bombs explode prematurely if touched by Yoshi, damaging him, although Yoshi can grab the bombs with his tongue and hold them into his mouth for an unlimited time, then spit them at [[Shy Guy]] towers or wooden log structures to collapse them.

Bombs are critical in the boss fight against [[Naval Piranha]]. When one is spat into Naval Piranha's mouth, it explodes and reveals the plant's weak point.

===''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''===
Bombs in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' appear only in the [[The Last Spark Hunter]] DLC as attacks from [[Proto Mecha King Bob-omb]] and [[Mecha King Bob-omb]], causing explosions that deal area damage.

===''Princess Peach: Showtime!''===
A single bomb appears in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'' It is found in the stage [[The Case of the Rainy-Day Plot]], where three [[Criminal]]s plan to use it to blow up the clock tower. After finding the bomb, [[Detective Peach]] and the [[Junior Detective]] throw it out the window of the clock tower, where it explodes, causing no harm.
