'''King Bob-omb''' (formerly known as the '''Big Bob-omb''') is a [[List of characters|character]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Following his debut, King Bob-omb has appeared in various other games, especially spinoff games within the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. King Bob-omb, like other certain bosses, takes pride in his royal status.
'''King Bob-omb''' (formerly known as the '''Big Bob-omb''') is the king of the [[Bob-omb]]s who debuted in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', being the first boss fought in that game and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]. Guarding the [[Power Star]], which [[Bowser]] entrusted him with, he does not give it up without fighting the player. After his debut, King Bob-omb became a recurring boss in later games, specifically spinoff games such as ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. King Bob-omb, like other certain bosses, takes pride in his royal status.

The Big Bob-omb, also named '''Bomb King'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #42|page=22|date=September 1996|publisher=Catalyst Publishing|language=en-au}}</ref> or '''King Bob-Omb''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Official Magazine'' (UK) issue 54|page=21 and 24|date=March 1997|publisher=EMAP|language=en-gb}}</ref> is the first [[List of bosses|boss]] of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. He is encountered at the top of the mountain on the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]]. The Big Bob-omb takes damage from being thrown by [[Mario]]. Just before recovering from a throw, the Big Bob-omb can damage Mario on contact. If the Big Bob-omb were to go off the mountain, he accuses Mario of cheating, and the battle starts over. If the Big Bob-omb has been defeated, the [[Bob-omb Buddy]] expresses gratitude to Mario if interacted with.<ref>{{cite|quote=Thank you, Mario! The Big Bob-omb is nothing but a big dud now!|author=[[Bob-omb Buddy]]|title=''Super Mario 64''|publisher=Nintendo|date=1996|language=en}}</ref>
In ''Super Mario 64'', the Big Bob-omb, also named '''Bomb King'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #42. Page 22.</ref> or '''King Bob-Omb''',<ref>''Nintendo Official Magazine'' (UK) issue 54. Pages 21 and 24.</ref> is found at the top of the mountain on the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]]. [[Mario]] merely has to [[dash|run]] around to the back of him, pick him up, and toss him three times. If Mario runs into the Big Bob-omb after tossing him but before he gets back up, the former will take damage, likely to prevent the player from picking the king back up immediately. After the third throw, the Big Bob-omb will give up the [[Power Star]]. If he is thrown off the mountain or baited into walking off, he accuses Mario of cheating and the battle starts over. After Mario defeats him, the [[Bob-omb Buddy]] at the beginning of the level will express gratitude and note that the Big Bob-omb is now "just a big dud," in other words, defeated.


The Big Bob-omb is fought twice in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. He is required to be fought by [[Yoshi]] the first time. King Bob-omb throws [[Bob-omb]]s to attack, and he can be damaged from being hit by one. With any of the other player characters, the Big Bob-omb can be picked up and thrown by him. Regardless, the Big Bob-omb is defeated after three hits. The Big Bob-omb has different dialogue in the first battle only if fought by Mario, [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]], each involving a comment about their mustache.<ref>{{cite|quote=Look at my splendid mustache. It's fit for a king! Ho ho! Your mustache makes you look like the peasant you are. What a sad little thing. If you want the Power Star, you must defeat me in battle! Ha Ha Ha! But there's no way I'd ever lose to a puny mustache like that.|author=King Bob-omb (addressing Mario)|title=''Super Mario 64 DS''|publisher=Nintendo|date=2004|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite|quote=You've got some nerve making it this far. Despite your looks, you seem to be quite brave. I commend you. Nevertheless, the Power Star is a precious item from King Bowser. I will not give it to you. If you want it, you must defeat me.|author=King Bob-omb (addressing Luigi)|title=''Super Mario 64 DS''|publisher=Nintendo|date=2004|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite|quote=What's this? You're not royalty...Yet your mustache is distinguished looking. How impertinent of you to flash that facial hair here! I will crush you and yank out that mustache of yours. Don't you run away!|author=King Bob-omb (addressing Wario)|publisher=Nintendo|title=''Super Mario 64 DS''|language=en|date=2004}}</ref> The second battle involves identical tactics as the first and only battle in the original game. The Big Bob-omb received a slight redesign in the remake, having large white gloves and pointed shoes aside from the yellow spheres he had in earlier iterations.
In the remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the Big Bob-omb is fought twice. The first time, he is encountered while the player is [[Yoshi]]. Instead of picking him up, Yoshi has to grab the [[Bob-omb]]s thrown at him with his tongue and spit them back at him before they explode in Yoshi's mouth. Yoshi can also lead a Bob-omb to explode next to him; if the player is one of the other three player characters or wearing their [[cap]]s, the original method from ''Super Mario 64'' can also be used.  After being hit by three Bob-ombs, the Big Bob-omb is defeated. The second time, he can be defeated only by one of the three unlocked heroes using the same strategy as in ''Super Mario 64''. If the [[Big Bob-omb on the Summit|first mission]] is played as Mario, [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]], the Big Bob-omb says something different for each of them at the start and the end of the battle, relating to their mustaches; in the [[Big Bob-omb's Revenge|fourth mission]], he uses identical dialogue for all characters. If the player touches him as he is knocked down, they will take damage. He also received a slight redesign, being given large white gloves and pointed shoes aside from the yellow spheres he had in earlier iterations. He retains this look in every subsequent appearance aside from ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', which ignores ''Super Mario 64 DS''{{'}}s redesigns in general.

When the player encounters him, he is sitting on a throne with two Bob-ombs next to him. He then challenges the player to the dice game, where the player and Big Bob-omb roll dice blocks, and the one with the higher number three times wins. If the player wins, they get the [[Gaddget]] [[Stress Press]]. The ending states that he retired and moved to the jungle, and [[Bob-omb]] becomes his replacement.

King Bob-omb is a non-playable character in ''[[Super Mario Party]]''. He appears on the board, [[King Bob-omb's Powderkeg Mine]]. If any players land on an [[Event Space]], a countdown will tick down. If the countdown reaches 0, King Bob-omb will explode, and any player around him loses half of their coins. After the explosion, King Bob-omb will return, and the countdown resets. Unlike previous ''Mario Party'' installments, here King Bob-omb's voice reuses voice clips from older games such as ''Super Mario 64''. In the Partner Party version of the board, Gold Rush Mine, the spaces which trigger the countdown are completely random each round and are not labeled, so landing anywhere within the vicinity of King Bob-omb has the chance to trigger a countdown and/or explosion.

King Bob-omb is placed in charge of the paper terrain operation on Mount Brrr, and retains his voice clips and regal demeanor from ''Super Mario 64''.

King Bob-omb appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' as the boss of [[Mount Brrr]], making his official ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series debut and first appearance in an RPG overall. He is placed in charge of the paper terrain operation on Mount Brrr, and retains his voice clips and regal demeanor from ''Super Mario 64''. When King Bob-omb finds that the Mario Bros. have discovered his operations, he threatens to self-destruct, forcing the trio to battle him.


King Bob-omb's boss fight is unique in that it involves a countdown timer, similar to [[Pi'illodium]]'s self-destruct timer from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', being set at four minutes (three minutes in the [[Battle Ring (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Ring]]). If King Bob-omb is not defeated within time limit, he explodes and deals devastating amounts of damage to each Bro nine times, enough to potentially cause a [[Game Over]] if [[Guard|Emergency Block]] isn't used. If at least one Bro survives the explosion, the battle is won, but players will not earn any of the associated rewards for doing so.

In stage mode, he grants a chance that two viruses are eliminated when starting a stage, but will not completely eliminate any that requires multiple hits to be eliminated, such as floatie viruses. In versus mode, he grants a chance that the doctor's attack sends an extra row of viruses to the opponent's side of the field.

King Bob-omb is potentially the basis for ボムノスケ (''Bomu Nosuke''), one of the collectible monsters in ''{{iw|nwiki|Trade & Battle: Card Hero}}''. In the sequel ''{{iw|nwiki|Kousoku Card Battle: Card Hero}}'', it was given a redesign that strengthens their similarities. It was also directly renamed ボムキング (''Bomu Kingu'', "Bomb King") in this title, the same Japanese name for King Bob-omb. It is the leveled-up form of a smaller red bomb monster named ボムゾウ (''Bomu Zou''). It uses a self-destructive attack that causes heavy damage.
