'''Parabombs''' (occasionally formatted as '''Para-bombs''' or '''Para Bombs'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Yoshi's Safari'' instruction booklet|page=19|date=1993|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref>), also known as '''Parachute Bob-ombs''',<ref>{{cite|url=www.lego.com/en-us/product/character-packs-series-3-71394|title=Character Packs – Series 3|publisher=LEGO|accessdate=August 12, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/world/?lang=en English|title=''Super Mario World'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.today/2022.08.13-141758/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/world/?lang=en}}</ref> are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They are [[Bob-omb]]s that descend slowly from the sky and become regular Bob-ombs upon touching the ground.

Para-bombs make their debut in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they spawn from the sky, slowly descending until they land on the ground, or other platforms or blocks that would otherwise act as such. They then begin taking on the normal traits of Bob-ombs in this game of walking back and forth until they flash and explode. They appear endlessly in [[Vanilla Secret 2]], while only a few spawn along with [[Parachute Galoomba]]s in [[Chocolate Island 5]].

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', there is a [[minigame]] called [[Bob-omb Squad]], where Para-bombs must be blown up before they hit guarded flowers. In this game, they sport pink and white parachutes as opposed to their blue and white parachutes from ''Super Mario World''.

Parabombs are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They act identical to their ''Super Mario World'' counterparts. Parabombs are first encountered in [[World 8-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-5]].

Para-bombs are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They have the same function as in earlier games. They are occasionally shot out of [[cannon]]s. They appear only in [[World 2-B (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2-B]] and [[World 6-2 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-2]].

Para-bombs are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and their [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|shared port]]. Para-bombs act the same as in previous games. The appear only in [[Red-Hot Elevator Ride]], while ''New Super Luigi U'' includes them in both [[Current Event]] and [[Bowser Jr. Showdown]].

Parabombs are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They can be made by placing a parachute on a Bob-omb. Newly designed sprites of them were created for ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', since they appear in neither of the three games. Parabombs can be placed in pipes, [[Lakitu]]s, [[Bill Blaster]]s, and [[Bull's-Eye Blaster]]s, though not in cannons.

Para Bombs are enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''.

Parabombs are enemies in ''[[Hotel Mario]]''. They can crash into enemies from above, similarly to their counterparts from ''Super Mario World'', except they can follow Mario and [[Luigi]] while falling. A Parabomb can close a door by hitting it.

Para-bombs are obstacles in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. [[Booster]] throws them from his train midway up [[Booster Tower]]. Touching one prompts a [[Rob-omb]] battle. Booster will continue throwing them until he runs out, causing him to leave in annoyance, or the player hides or leaves first, causing him to stop early and leave in dejection.

Para-bombs are enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They appear during the fight with [[Baby Bowser]], and hitting them with eggs is required to hurt the [[Ghost (Yoshi's Story)|ghost]].

Para-bombs make a brief cameo in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. When Mario and his partner are shot out of [[Big Bob]] in [[Fahr Outpost]], the hatch that holds the Bob-ombs opens up and releases the Bob-ombs. They come down slowly using red parachutes.

Parabombs are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They behave much in the same way as in ''Super Mario World''. There is also a variant of Parabomb named [[Glad Parabomb]].

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', paper versions of Parabombs appear in the [[Cannonball Chuck]] minigame in the arcade's [[Attackathon]]. They are seen suspended in mid-air after [[Mario]] throws the cannonball with [[Luigi]] on it. If the cannonball hits a Parabomb, the minigame ends. In the [[Mega Thwonk]] minigame, Luigi may have to avoid some Parabombs by ducking; colliding with one will end the minigame.

Parabombs are assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. In both stage mode and versus mode, their effect is to transform two objects, mainly [[virus]]es, into [[exploder]]s when the stage starts, where the chance of activation is higher at higher levels (15%, 30%, 45%, 60%, and 80% from levels 1 to 5 respectively). Parabomb assistants are each rewarded after clearing the first area in [[World 15 (Dr. Mario World)|World 15]] and [[World 28]].

Parabombs are obstacles in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]''. Unlike their common design, Parabombs lack legs and a wind-up key. They appear as part of [[King Bob-omb]]'s Bob-ombs Away Special Shot, where they blow away nearby opponents' golf balls. Parabombs also appear in the Battle Golf mode at Super Golf Stadium, during the Bob-omb Rush event, in which players are targeted by multiple Parabombs, especially higher ranked ones.

 

Parabombs make their first ''Mario Party'' appearance in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', appearing in the background of the board [[Mario's Rainbow Castle]] where they fall out of the sky whenever [[Impostor Bowser]] takes over the central tower. They also appear in [[Bowser Crashers]] where they are summoned by [[Kamek]].
