Bob-omb Derby takes place at [[Mario Stadium (baseball stadium)|Mario Stadium]] during the night. The player bats ten [[Bob-omb]]s shot from a pitching machine (resembling [[F.L.U.D.D.]] in the ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' iteration), trying to score over 1,000 points on Easy difficulty, 2,000 on Normal, and 3,000 on Hard. Each turn begins with a roulette stopping on an icon, usually determining the speed: a [[Mushroom]] means the Bob-omb is shot slowly; a [[Fire Flower]] means it is at average speed; a [[Super Star|Star]] means it is relatively fast; a [[Fireball]] means it goes very fast; a [[King Bob-omb]] launches one out instead of a Bob-omb; and a Question Mark shoots a Bob-omb at a random speed. If the player hits the Bob-omb with enough force, they get a home run and score [[point]]s, though it is possible to get a foul. Any Bob-omb hit in succession results in a Combo, earning the player more points.

'''Bob-omb Derby''' is a mini-game in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. It is set in the [[Mario Stadium (Mario Superstar Baseball)|Mario Stadium]], and is played during nighttime. A roulette will start, and the player must press the A Button in order to stop it. It will land on a certain image, and a machine that looks like [[F.L.U.D.D.]] will shoot out a [[Bob-omb]] at the player. The player must then hit the Bob-omb, in order to score a Home-Run. A Home-Run is always succeeded, but sometimes it will become a Foul Ball for going past the boundary line.


The Bob-omb will be a different speed depending on the image:
Bob-omb Derby is playable in multiplayer and Grand Prix mode in ''Mario Super Sluggers''. Another difference is a roulette can land an icon of the player character, giving them a chance to stop an opposing player's Bob-omb from exploding, earning them points instead, though it is possible for all opponents to do so, or none if it is an "X."

The player can score more points if they keep hitting the Bob-ombs, without missing one. This is called a Combo. However, a combo can easily be thrown off if a Bob-omb is missed.

In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', it is the same. Also, the F.L.U.D.D.-like cannon is replaced by a normal one.

Bob-omb Derby takes place at Mario Stadium during the night. The player bats ten Bob-ombs shot from a pitching machine (resembling F.L.U.D.D. in the Mario Superstar Baseball iteration), trying to score over 1,000 points on Easy difficulty, 2,000 on Normal, and 3,000 on Hard. Each turn begins with a roulette stopping on an icon, usually determining the speed: a Mushroom means the Bob-omb is shot slowly; a Fire Flower means it is at average speed; a Star means it is relatively fast; a Fireball means it goes very fast; a King Bob-omb launches one out instead of a Bob-omb; and a Question Mark shoots a Bob-omb at a random speed. If the player hits the Bob-omb with enough force, they get a home run and score points, though it is possible to get a foul. Any Bob-omb hit in succession results in a Combo, earning the player more points.

Bob-omb Derby is playable in multiplayer and Grand Prix mode in Mario Super Sluggers. Another difference is a roulette can land an icon of the player character, giving them a chance to stop an opposing player's Bob-omb from exploding, earning them points instead, though it is possible for all opponents to do so, or none if it is an "X."
