'''Bombshell Koopas''',<ref>''Super Mario Land'' Virtual Console digital manual, page 14.</ref> originally known as '''Nokobon'''<ref name="English instruction booklet">''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet, page 13.</ref> or '''Nobokon''',<ref>M. Arakawa. Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide. Page 5.</ref> are a species of [[Koopa Troopa]]s with a [[bomb]] for a shell found in the game ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. Bombshell Koopas are not immune to [[Superball Mario|Superball]]s, and they explode shortly after being [[stomp]]ed. They are somewhat similar to the recurring [[Bob-omb]]s, except they cannot be moved and their blast radius is small and cannot take out other enemies and obstacles.

Bombshell Koopas are the most common enemy in ''Super Mario Land'', appearing in all levels except for [[World 2-3 (Super Mario Land)|Worlds 2-3]] (the [[Marine Pop]] level) and [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Land)|4-3]] (the [[Sky Pop]] level). Like red-shelled Koopa Troopas, Bombshell Koopas do not walk off edges, but merely pace back and forth on the platform.

In ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', normal Koopa Troopas appear as enemies, and Bombshell Koopas themselves are succeeded by a [[Buzzy Beetle]]-like variant, [[Noko Bombette]], whose name is a reference to the original Nokobon. (Bombshell Koopas were only referred to as such in the 2011 port of ''Super Mario Land'' to the [[Virtual Console]], almost twenty years after ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' was released for [[Game Boy]].)

In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', a Bombshell Koopa appears in the second level of the [[microgame]] [[Super Mario Land (WarioWare Gold)|Super Mario Land]].
