| First appearance | Wario Land: Shake It! (2008) |
A Peek-a-boom is a ninja-like enemy appearing in Wario Land: Shake It! Its name is a pun on the phrase "peek-a-boo" and the exploding sound "boom".
At first, it is invisible. If Wario comes closer, it appears with a cloud of smoke, but if Wario comes too close to them, it vanishes again with more smoke. These enemies throw bombs to attack Wario - up to five can be on the field at a time before the Peek-a-boom ceases fire. Sometimes, Wario needs these bombs to solve puzzles, which let him get to treasures. If Wario uses an Earthshake Punch when he is close to a Peek-a-boom, he can pick it up and shake it.
Profiles and statistics[edit]
- Website description:
- English (American):
This Peek-a-boom guy is a real pain. He throws bombs at you, and if you throw them back, he just vanishes! How is that fair? I wonder how he'd feel if I did something HE can't do, like shake the ground with my mighty fist?![1]

- Threat:
- One of the rarest denizens of the Shake Dimension, Peek-a-booms can appear and vanish at will. They enjoy hurling lit bombs at their prey, which makes for some truly explosive encounters! Peek-a-booms are quick to disappear whenever Wario moves too close, so let loose Earthshake Punches to stun them before closing in. Wario can get a lot of use out of a Peek-a-boom's bombs, too: Snatch them up and then toss them at objects or enemies as you see fit![2]
- TIP: Shake lit bombs to blow out their fuses and stop their timers.[2]
