Bob-omb Buddies reappear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', serving the same role that they had in the original game. However, additional Bob-omb Buddies have been placed in the courses that can either help Mario and his allies by giving the locations of the eight [[Red Coin]]s in whatever level they are in, or detect the three [[cap]]s that the player can use to transform into other players. Bob-omb Buddies have updated designs in this game. They wear shoes, unlike the Bob-omb Buddies in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They also have little fuses that are hard to see on their caps. In addition, Bob-omb Buddies appear in several [[minigame]]s in this game.
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:Bob-omb buddy NSMB.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Bob-omb Buddies appear in a number of minigames, including [[Sort or 'Splode]] and [[Danger, Bob-omb! Danger!]], some of which were carried over from ''Super Mario 64 DS''. They are also known in this game as '''red Bob-ombs'''.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2 Bob-omb Buddy Screenshot.png|thumb|200px|Mario near a Bob-omb Buddy in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'']]
Bob-omb Buddies reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Their only appearance in a [[galaxy]] is in the [[Throwback Galaxy]], where they give Mario information. In the first mission, [[Return of the Whomp King]], they ask Mario to defeat the [[Whomp King]] for them. Later on in the second and third missions, [[Silver Stars in the Whomp Fortress]] and [[Whomp Silver Star Speed Run]], respectively, one Bob-omb Buddy hides five [[Silver Star]]s around the fortress, and Mario has to go find them. One of the Bob-omb Buddies mentions that Mario looks familiar, referencing ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]. This happens even with [[Luigi]].
One Bob-omb Buddy makes an additional appearance on [[Starship Mario]], standing on a stump after Mario completes the first mission in the Throwback Galaxy. He asks if Mario has ever been to a Secret World, which is later revealed to be [[World S]].

{{main|Red Bob-omb (character)}}
[[File:Red Bob-omb SMKun.png|thumb|Red Bob-omb in ''Super Mario-kun''.]]
In the ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' arc in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', which extends between [[Super Mario-kun Volume 15|Volume 15]] and [[Super Mario-kun Volume 19|Volume 19]], Mario is accompanied by a Bob-omb Buddy simply named [[Red Bob-omb (character)|Red Bob-omb]]. Unlike in the game, he has a mouth, arms, and can explode on command, like the Bob-omb companions from the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series.


The '''Bob-omb Buddies''' are recurring allies to [[Mario]] of the [[Bob-omb]] species. They can be differentiated from the foes by their distinct pink (sometimes red) color.  
===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party''====
Bob-omb Buddies (known in-game as Red Bob-ombs) appear in the [[Wario's Battle Canyon]] board in ''[[Mario Party]]''. Like Black [[Bob-omb]]s, they blast the player off in a cannon. If the player lands on a [[Event Space|Happening Space]], they will move the cannons to a different direction. In this game, they are colored red instead of pink.


==History==
====''Mario Party 2''====
===''Super Mario 64''===
Bob-omb Buddies (known simply as '''Aliens''') appear in [[Mystery Land]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. In this game, they are extraterrestrials. They warp the player to another location. They are also seen in the end, where one is turned back from a statue to an alien by the Superstar.
[[Image:Sm64bobombbuddy.jpg|frame|left|A '''Bob-omb Buddy''', as seen in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.]]
In their first appearance, ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', the Bob-omb Buddies helped Mario by opening [[Cannon]]s for him (but are peace loving Bob-ombs), and were shown to have a longstanding rivalry with the evil Bob-ombs, as this was the first time both groups were at war.


===''Super Mario 64 DS''===
====''Mario Party 3''====
[[Image:BobombBuddyDS.PNG|thumb|As seen in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.]]
Bob-omb Buddies appear as background characters in the second course of [[Dizzy Dinghies]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''.
They have also helped Mario and his allies in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' by giving the locations of the eight [[Red Coin]]s in whatever level they're in as well as opening cannons as usual. The power to sense red coins seems to come from their red coloring, so it is something evil Bob-ombs cannot do. Also, Bob-omb Buddies in this game do wear shoes, unlike the Bob-omb Buddies in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.


===''New Super Mario Bros.''===
====''Mario Party Advance''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Bob-omb Buddies appeared in a number of [[Mini-games]].

===''Mario Golf'' (Game Boy Color)===
Bob-omb Buddies reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', where they are seen in [[Starship Mario]] and [[Throwback Galaxy]] where they once again act as friendly allies towards Mario.
In the [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''[[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Mario Golf]]'', a Bob-omb Buddy operates a [[cannon]] that launches the player to [[Peach's Castle]].


===''Mario Party series''===
===''Mario Tennis''===
[[Image:Bob-omb_Buddy.PNG|frame|left|As seen in ''[[Mario Party]]''.]] In [[Mario Party Advance]], one appeared in a quest named Bob-omba. It should be noted that Bob-omba is the French name for Bob-omb buddies. The Bob-omb Buddies also appeared as aides in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games.

Several Bob-omb Buddies can be found along the ends of certain courts in the [[Nintendo 64]] version of [[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|''Mario Tennis'']], along with the standard Bob-ombs, and will explode if a tennis ball goes through them. In the [[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]], a Bob-omb Buddy can be seen inside the castle in Mario World during the story mode of the Mario Tour, standing at the entrance to Peach's Castle and telling the player which way to go to return to the world below.

Bob-omb Buddies (sometimes called Red Bob-ombs, Pink Bob-ombs,[1] or Buddy Bob-ombs)[2] are recurring allies to Mario of the Bob-omb species, introduced in Super Mario 64. They can be differentiated from the foes by their distinct pink or red color, their silver-colored caps on their tops, instead of the usual fuse, and their silver windup keys, signifying their pacifist and peaceful nature. Similar red or pink Bob-ombs appear among others colors in certain games, such as Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Mario vs. Donkey Kong, but are not treated specifically as Bob-omb Buddies.
