'''Bob-omb Derby''' is a [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. It is set in the [[Mario Stadium (baseball stadium)|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 charged swing will always hit the ball with enough power to score a Home Run in this minigame, but it is still possible to get a Foul Ball if the ball is hit past the foul lines.


The Bob-omb will be a different speed depending on the image:

*'''[[Mushroom]]:''' The Bob-omb will be slow, and will be easy to hit.

*'''[[Fire Flower]]:''' The Bob-omb will travel at the normal speed rate of the normal Baseball.
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.
*'''[[Super Star|Star]]:''' The Bob-omb will be somewhat fast.
*'''[[Fireball]]:''' The Bob-omb will zoom pass the batter very fast, making it harder to hit.
*'''[[King Bob-omb]]:''' King Bob-omb will be shot out at a random speed and, if hit, will score more points than a normal Bob-omb
*'''Question Mark:''' One of the previous Bob-omb speeds except for King Bob-omb will be fired.


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.
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."
 
In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', the F.L.U.D.D.-like cannon is replaced by a normal one. In multiplayer and Grand Prix mode, several players participate hitting balls to the sky. The gameplay is the same except players stop the roulette and there is a third roulette marked with the characters' heads on them. If the third roulette lands on the character's head, the character is given a chance to destroy the firework by throwing baseballs at the flying Bob-omb. If the character succeeds, points are awarded to that character while the batting player receives no points. The roulette can also make either all opponents throw baseballs at the flying Bob-omb or none, if it lands on the X.

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."
