'''Bulky Bob-ombs''' (also formatted as '''Bulky Bob-Ombs''')<ref>[[Battle Master]]'s "Types of Audience Members, Part 3", ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' ([[Nintendo Switch]])</ref> are massive pink [[Bob-omb]]s in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Unlike their smaller variants, Bulky Bob-ombs do not attack directly, but instead passively prepare an explosive attack over several turns. This explosion hits both Mario and his partner, as well as other enemies, and sets off other Bulky Bob-ombs immediately after.

In order to execute this attack, Bulky Bob-ombs, over four turns, boost their attack and defense power in a specific order:

#Fuse ignition
#[[DEF-Up|Defense boost]] by 3
#[[POW-Up|Attack boost]] by 3
#[[Charged|Charge]] attack by 3

On their fifth turn, they will automatically explode. If hit by a fire, lightning or explosive attack (excluding [[Clock Out]]), Bulky Bob-ombs prematurely detonate, dealing less damage if attack boosts have not been applied. In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], however, Bulky Bob-ombs will not grant [[Star Point]]s if they explode. Status effects such as [[Immobilized]] and [[Sleep]] will allow its boosts to wear off without attacking. The [[Frozen]] status effect will additionally force it to spend a turn reigniting its fuse.

Bulky Bob-ombs also appear as [[audience]] members that take up two seats and blast other audience members away. A stronger variant, known as the [[Bob-ulk]], appears exclusively in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].

==Trivia==
*Several posters in the [[Glitz Pit]] lobby depict Bulky Bob-ombs. However, no Bulky Bob-ombs are fought in it. Additionally, a Bulky Bob-omb appears in the Glitz Pit section of the [[parade]].
*Bulky Bob-ombs and Bob-ulks are the only non-boss enemies with an attack Mario and his allies cannot guard or superguard against.
*A Bulky Bob-omb had a minor cameo in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' (ver. 3.2.0) on promotional artwork in the game during its celebration of the release of the remake, though its presence on the in-game alert for the event was its only appearance in the game.
