'''Bomb Boos''' are an explosive, black-colored variety of the [[Boo]]s that debuted in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They later make a reappearance in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series during the Minion side modes.

==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:SMG Bomb Boo Swing.png|thumb|left|[[Mario]] swinging three Bomb Boos around at once]]
[[File:BombBooTradingCard.png|thumb|85px|Bomb Boo Trading Card]]
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Bomb Boos only appear in the [[Ghostly Galaxy]] during the missions [[Beware of Bouldergeist]] and [[Bouldergeist's Daredevil Run]],  where they are necessary to defeat [[Bouldergeist]]. Bomb Boos float lazily back and forth, exploding after some time, but they do move towards [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] if either of the Bros. get close to them. Unlike normal Boos, Bomb Boos are not shy and will keep moving even if they are looked at by Mario or Luigi. If the player [[spin]]s near one, Mario or Luigi will grab its tongue, and continuing to spin will swing the Boo around until it hits something or they eventually lose their grip.

Up to six Bomb Boos can be held at once. If the player holds it for too long, it will begin to flash red and explode soon after, damaging Mario or Luigi.

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', [[Bouldergeist]] re-appears, along with four other ''Super Mario Galaxy'' bosses, in the [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]]. Because of Bouldergeist's reappearance, Bomb Boos make a comeback so Mario can damage the boss in the same way as he did in the previous game.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====

Bomb Boos reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' as both enemies and controllable units in the new ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions#Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser|Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]'' mode. Bomb Boos are flying troopers, and attack by running into enemies. Their special attack, Kaboom Blast, allows them to explode on an enemy. Bomb Boos are strong against [[Ice Snifit (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Ice Snifit]]s.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
Bomb Boos also reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', where they are both enemies and allies in the ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey#Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' mode. They serve the same role as they did in ''Minion Quest''. Additionally, a Bomb Boo appears as a figurine on a shelf inside the [[Tower of Yikk]].

===''Dr. Mario World''===
Bomb Boo makes an appearance in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as an assistant doctor. In stage mode, they grant a chance in increasing the capsule amount by three when the player has only three capsules remaining, in which the chance of activating it is greater at higher levels, up to 25% at maximum level. If this effect failed to activate the first time, it will attempt to activate with the same percentage chance if the player's capsule amount exceeded this amount and then reduced to three remaining capsules again. Once this effect activated, it will not activate again for the duration of the stage. In versus mode, they grant a chance that the skill meter will be half-full at the start of the match, in which the chance is greater at higher levels, up to 90% at maximum level.
