'''Bulky Bob-ombs''' (also formatted as '''Bulky Bob-Ombs''')<ref>[[Battle Master]]'s "Types of Audience Members, Part 3", ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' ([[Nintendo Switch]])</ref> are massive pink [[Bob-omb]]s in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Unlike their smaller variants, Bulky Bob-ombs do not attack directly, but instead passively prepare an explosive attack over several turns. This explosion hits both Mario and his partner, as well as other enemies, and sets off other Bulky Bob-ombs immediately after.


'''Bob-ulks''' are the largest of the [[Bob-omb]] species, and are purple to boot.  They are also the most powerful, the most armored, and basically the most everything.  Bob-ulks are solely found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door |Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's]]'' pit of 100 trials. They're related to [[Bulky Bob-omb]]s. "Bob-ulk" is word play on "bulk", meaning very large.
In order to execute this attack, Bulky Bob-ombs, over four turns, boost their attack and defense power in a specific order:

#Fuse ignition
*'''HP:''' 10
#[[DEF-Up|Defense boost]] by 3

*'''Tattle:''' That's a Bob-ulk.  That's... easily the biggest Bob-omb I've ever seen! It won't attack, but once its fuse is lit, it'll explode after a while. So the problem is... how to beat it before it goes off. I mean, its bomb attack has a power of 16!  That's no joke.  Seriously, watch out for that. Just go all out to beat it.  Pull out all the stops. Or you could just set it off early with fire or explosions.  Your call.


[[Category: Enemies]]
On their fifth turn, they will automatically explode. If hit by a fire, lightning or explosive attack (excluding [[Clock Out]]), Bulky Bob-ombs prematurely detonate, dealing less damage if attack boosts have not been applied. In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], however, Bulky Bob-ombs will not grant [[Star Point]]s if they explode. Status effects such as [[Immobilized]] and [[Sleep]] will allow its boosts to wear off without attacking. The [[Frozen]] status effect will additionally force it to spend a turn reigniting its fuse.

Bulky Bob-ombs (also formatted as Bulky Bob-Ombs)[1] are massive pink Bob-ombs in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Unlike their smaller variants, Bulky Bob-ombs do not attack directly, but instead passively prepare an explosive attack over several turns. This explosion hits both Mario and his partner, as well as other enemies, and sets off other Bulky Bob-ombs immediately after.

In order to execute this attack, Bulky Bob-ombs, over four turns, boost their attack and defense power in a specific order:

  1. Fuse ignition
  2. Defense boost by 3
  3. Attack boost by 3
  4. Charge attack by 3

On their fifth turn, they will automatically explode. If hit by a fire, lightning or explosive attack (excluding Clock Out), Bulky Bob-ombs prematurely detonate, dealing less damage if attack boosts have not been applied. In the Nintendo Switch remake, however, Bulky Bob-ombs will not grant Star Points if they explode. Status effects such as Immobilized and Sleep will allow its boosts to wear off without attacking. The Frozen status effect will additionally force it to spend a turn reigniting its fuse.

Bulky Bob-ombs also appear as audience members that take up two seats and blast other audience members away. A stronger variant, known as the Bob-ulk, appears exclusively in the Pit of 100 Trials.

Tattle That's a Bulky Bob-omb. I think it's like other Bob-ombs... but it's huge! Max HP is 6, Attack is 2, Defense is 1. It's weird... It never attacks, but once its fuse is lit, it'll blow up on its own eventually. I don't mind it taking itself out of the battle, but that explosion hurts us, too! Oh, and when it powers up, that Attack power is 8, so watch out! Fire and explosions light its fuse, so I guess setting it off early is one strategy... You can run, too, but if you're gonna fight, beat it before it goes off!
