'''Bombshell Koopas''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Land'' Virtual Console digital manual|page=14|date=2011}}</ref> originally known as '''Nokobon'''<ref name="English instruction booklet">{{cite|title=''Super Mario Land'' instruction booklet|page=13|date=1989|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> or '''Nobokon''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Club Nintendo'' (UK) ''Classic''|page=7}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=1991|title=Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide|page=5|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> are a species of [[Koopa Troopa]]s with a [[bomb]] for a shell appearing in ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. They 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 of edges, but merely pace back and forth on the platform. Bombshell Koopas are not immune to [[Superball Mario|Superball]]s, and they explode shortly after being [[stomp]]ed. They do not explode if a Superball is used on them. 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.

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.

In the ''[[Super Mario Land (manga)|Super Mario Land]]'' manga, Bombshell Koopas are the second enemy type met by [[Mario]] and [[Mecha Kuribō (character)|Mecha Kuribō]] (after the [[Goombo]]s). Mario stomps on them and they turn into bombs, confusing Mario enough to get hit by their explosions. In the last chapter, a Goombo steals a magical seal from the [[Chai Kingdom]] temple that prevented it from being attacked by [[Pionpi]], and tosses it to an exploding Bombshell Koopa, destroying it, in the hope that the Pionpi bite the heroes sheltered in the palace.

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