Red Bob-omb[1] is a Bob-omb Buddy that appears in Super Mario-kun as one of the major allies in the Super Mario 64 arc, covered between Volume 15 and Volume 19.
Differently from an in-game Bob-omb Buddy, Red Bob-omb has arms, a mouth, and more expressive and detailed eyes (these last two details are also given to Bombette and Bobby in later volumes).
Mario first meets him during his first visit to Bob-omb Battlefield, where he saves him from the Chain Chomp that he landed on, by exploding on command. Mario asks him if he saw a crowned person (referring to Princess Peach) and, thinking he was talking about Big Bob-omb, Red Bob-omb directs him to the mountain. Mario starts the dangerous climb, only to discover that Red Bob-omb reached the top first thanks to the Warp Point. This becomes a running gag for the character, suggesting a difficult way to achieve something, revealing an easier way only after Mario has gone through some painful experiences: for example, in Jolly Roger Bay, he saves Mario from drowning by creating a bubble with a fart, and only after Mario uses it to breathe he reveals that collecting coins works just as fine.
Like many allies before and after him, Red Bob-omb does not take much part in the action, mostly accompanying Mario for the area and giving suggestions on how to beat an enemy or boss. He accompanies Mario almost exclusively in the worlds inside the paintings, rarely getting inside Peach's Castle, implying that he takes a longer route to reach Mario to the next area. Most of the time, in front of a difficult obstacle, Mario just tosses Red Bob-omb to blow it up, and Yoshi is often seen munching on him.
In later volumes, Red Bob-omb appears with other secondary characters when the achievements of the manga are covered, such as the 30th anniversary of serialization in Volume 57 and the reading of mail from the fans in Volume 60.
