King Bomb is a giant Bob-omb in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. It is first used by Punchinello in a last-ditch effort to destroy Mario, Mallow, and Geno, but it only ends up crushing him and not even hurting Mario's party in its explosion. It can be battled later in the game as one of Wizakoopa's summons. It uses Big Bang and is weak against Mario's fire and jump attacks.
