'''Mega Bob-ombs'''<ref>"''All Mega Bob-ombs must be properly air-dusted before deployment! Warning: Do not drop Mega Bob-ombs! Properly manage the air-jet power! Dropped Mega Bob-ombs will be duly deducted from minion paychecks!''" - sign in Neo Bowser Castle from ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''</ref> are a large variation of [[Bob-omb]]s with a wider range of explosion.

==History==
===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
A big Bob-omb is shown once in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Crimes R Us]]". When the [[Koopalings]] attempt to rob the [[Mushroom Kingdom Treasury]], they are thwarted by [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Crime Wave Clyde]]. [[Bowser|King Koopa]]s pulls up two dollar sign bags into the [[Airship|Doom Ship]] above, expecting a billion gold [[coin]]s, but the bags contain the Koopalings tied-up and a lit big Bob-omb. It explodes in a display of [[fireworks]] as the Doom Ship retreats.

===''Mario Strikers'' series===
In ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', the Mega Bob-omb appears as an item. It is similar to the Bob-omb items, but instead of several Bob-ombs falling in a row, the Mega Bob-omb falls on one spot and explodes, hitting anyone nearby. However, it affects the user's teammates as well, so the item should be used with caution. [[Wario]] may also use this in one of his disappointment scenes in ''Mario Strikers Charged'', in which he pulls out a Mega Bob-omb, which explodes on him.

===''Mario Sports Mix''===
Mega Bob-ombs also appear in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'' in the dodgeball game called [[Bob-omb Dodge]], and are more dangerous than ordinary Bob-ombs. They have a wider blast range than the normal Bob-omb in this game, and cause twenty-five points of damage to the players.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
Mega Bob-ombs also appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' as minor obstacles. In the former game, the [[Elite Trio]] have an attack involving a Mega Bob-omb that [[Mario]] must run away from. They are also puzzle elements rolling down a set path in [[Neo Bowser Castle]] which Mario and [[Luigi]] must use to proceed further. Here, they have a 3D model with flat, textured-on feet. After [[Antasma]] is defeated, the Trio try to stall Mario and Luigi with Mega Bob-ombs before they reach [[Bowser]]. After he is defeated in his [[Dreamy Bowser|dreamy state]], Mega Bob-ombs rain down as Mario and company try to flee the collapsing lair.

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
They also appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' as obstacles in the [[Safe by a Sandslide]] mission as well as projectiles used by [[Bowser]] in the [[Bombs Away (mission)|Bombs Away]] mission.  They appear slightly smaller than in the previous game, lack feet, and are generically referred to as "bombs".

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', the player can make a Bob-omb bigger with a [[Super Mushroom]]. Aside from size, there is no difference between big and regular Bob-ombs except for explosion radius. In addition, they can be given wings, stacked on other enemies, placed in [[Koopa Clown Car]]s, among other level elements.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Mega Bob-ombs return in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', having the same functions as in its predecessor. This time, they can be given parachutes.

===''Paper Mario: Color Splash''===
In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', they act as explosive material to destroy the [[black paint]] mixing room of [[Black Bowser's Castle]]. This marks their ''Paper Mario'' debut.

===''Mario Tennis Aces''===
In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', a large Bob-omb is used by the [[black Shy Guy]] boss in the final stage of [[Mario Tennis Aces#Shy Guy Train Tussle|Shy Guy Train Tussle]]. When the Shy Guy's health is fully depleted, it will throw a single large Bob-omb at the players. The Bob-omb must be rallied back and forth between each player and the Shy Guy until it explodes on the enemy and defeats it.
