'''Kick Bombs'''<ref>Hatchett, Geson; Musa, Alexander (2013). ''Super Mario 3D World [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide''. ''Prima Games''. p. 19.</ref> are [[bomb]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They are patterned after [[Soccer Ball|soccer balls]] to indicate that they cannot be grabbed but are instead [[kick]]ed forward. Kick Bombs are found only in [[Bowser's Highway Showdown]] and [[Bowser's Lava Lake Keep]], where they are either idly resting, shot out of [[Cannon]]s, or thrown by [[Bowser]] while he rides [[Bowser's Muscle Car|his muscle car]]. When shot or thrown, they roll in the direction they came from, eventually flashing red before exploding.

If a character walks or [[dash|runs]] into a Kick Bomb, they will kick it in the direction they were moving, and it will explode upon contact with a wall, enemy, or [[block]]. Normal Kick Bombs can also be [[Cat Mario|swiped at]] or [[roll]]ed into, making them fly faster, higher, and farther than if they were run into. These explosions are capable of breaking [[Rock Block]]s and defeating enemies. However, a character cannot touch a Kick Bomb that is flashing red, as it explodes and hurts them.

During the two Bowser boss battles in the aforementioned [[level]]s, the Kick Bombs he tosses are the only way to defeat him without a power-up. If those Kick Bombs are swiped at or rolled into and hit Bowser, they will do triple the damage, potentially allowing for him to be defeated in three hits instead of nine.

In the ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign in ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', a variant of the Kick Bomb called the [[Ink Bomb]] appears.

==Trivia==
*The gigantic Kick Bombs in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign are similar to the bomb-rocks from the ''Pikmin'' series.
