|tattle=That's a Bulky Bob-omb. I think it's like other Bob-ombs... but it's huge! Max HP is 6, Attack is 2, Defense is 1. It's weird... It never attacks, but once its fuse is lit, it'll blow up on its own eventually. I don't mind it taking itself out of the battle, but that explosion hurts us, too! Oh, and when it powers up, that Attack power is 8, so watch out! Fire and explosions light its fuse, so I guess setting it off early is one strategy... You can run, too, but if you're gonna fight, beat it before it goes off!

'''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.
'''Bulky Bob-ombs''' are massive pink [[Bob-omb]]s in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. On their first turn they'll light their fuse; on the next turn they'll raise defense by three. On their third turn they raise attack by three. On their fourth round they charge themselves, making their attack power go up by three once more. On their fifth turn they explode, but they'll explode early if hit by a Fire or Explosion attack. When it explodes, it damages [[Mario]], his ally, the other enemies, and will cause a chain reaction if there are other Bob-ombs nearby. Their explosion cannot be [[Superguard|ed]].


In order to execute this attack, Bulky Bob-ombs, over four turns, boost their attack and defense power in a specific order:
They also appear as part of the audience (where they take up two seats), and may blow up and kill everyone around them.


#Fuse ignition
They are not to be confused with [[Bob-ulk]]s, which are slightly smaller and purple in colour.
#[[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.
==Notable Bulky Bob-ombs==
*[[Lucky]] &ndash; ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''


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.
