'''Bomb''' is an attack that can be used by [[Bombette]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' that costs three [[Flower Point|FP]] to use. As the player rapidly taps {{button|n64|A}} in order to fill an on-screen gauge, Bombette walks up to the frontmost grounded enemy and explodes, damaging the enemy. Her attack can also be used outside of battle to activate [[! Switch|switch]]es, or destroy cracked walls.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', [[Admiral Bobbery]] uses Bomb as his default attack, which costs no FP. To perform the move in this game, the player has to hold down {{button|gcn|A}} and let go when a red light appears on the screen. However, unique to this move, failing the Action Command won't trigger audience dissatisfaction and will generate the same amount of [[Star Power]] as succeeding.<ref>Koop. February 1, 2020. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gETr-Yrn_6c A Little Known Oddity About Bobbery's Bomb]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved May 24, 2023.</ref> The Bomb attack will also clear away fog during a battle.

A [[Stylish move]] can be executed by pressing {{button|gcn|A}} when Bobbery lands after exploding. Outside of battle, it involves [[Mario]] tossing Bobbery upwards, so he can destroy cracked walls and activate otherwise unreachable switches.

Both Bombette and Bobbery can perform this attack as a [[First Strike]], in which case the Action Command will be automatically performed and FP will not be consumed. Bobbery's Bomb First Strike can ground [[Para-Beetle|Parabuzzies]] and [[Spiky Parabuzzy|Spiky Parabuzzies]], even if they take no damage from the attack.

Both Bomb attacks are imbued with the "explosion" element, allowing them to deal more damage (i.e., [[Pyro Guy]]s, [[Lava Bubble]]s, and [[Dry Bones]]) or none at all (i.e., [[Buzzy Beetle]]s) to certain enemies, flip over foes like [[Hyper Cleft]]s and [[Moon Cleft]]s, and make bomb and bullet-type enemies (i.e., [[Bob-omb]]s, [[Bulky Bob-omb]]s, and [[Bullet Bill]]s) explode and defeat themselves instantly.
