King Bob-omb (formerly known as the Big Bob-omb) is a character introduced in Super Mario 64. Following his debut, King Bob-omb has appeared in various other games, especially spinoff games within the Super Mario franchise. King Bob-omb, like other certain bosses, takes pride in his royal status.
History
Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS
The Big Bob-omb, also named Bomb King[1] or King Bob-Omb,[2] is the first boss of Super Mario 64. He is encountered at the top of the mountain on the Bob-omb Battlefield. The Big Bob-omb takes damage from being thrown by Mario. Just before recovering from a throw, the Big Bob-omb can damage Mario on contact. If the Big Bob-omb were to go off the mountain, he accuses Mario of cheating, and the battle starts over. If the Big Bob-omb has been defeated, the Bob-omb Buddy expresses gratitude to Mario if interacted with.[3]
The Big Bob-omb is fought twice in Super Mario 64 DS. He is required to be fought by Yoshi the first time. King Bob-omb throws Bob-ombs to attack, and he can be damaged from being hit by one. With any of the other player characters, the Big Bob-omb can be picked up and thrown by him. Regardless, the Big Bob-omb is defeated after three hits. The Big Bob-omb has different dialogue in the first battle only if fought by Mario, Luigi, or Wario, each involving a comment about their mustache.[4][5][6] The second battle involves identical tactics as the first and only battle in the original game. The Big Bob-omb received a slight redesign in the remake, having large white gloves and pointed shoes aside from the yellow spheres he had in earlier iterations.
Mario Party series
Mario Party 2
Big Bob-omb makes a cameo in Mario Party 2. A statue of him appears in the background of Mystery Land, stuck in a sinkhole.
Mario Party 5 / Mario Party: The Top 100
Two King Bob-ombs appear in Defuse or Lose, a minigame in Mario Party 5 and Mario Party: The Top 100, the former game being the first game to name them "King Bob-omb." As wires leading to each King Bob-omb, teams cooperate by Ground Pounding them repeatedly. If a wire reaches one, it will explode, making the team that it exploded on lose. A tie can also happen if they both explode at the same time.
Mario Party Advance
Big Bob-omb appears in Mario Party Advance. He is depicted after his appearance in the original Super Mario 64, rather than the remake. Big Bob-omb is the leader of the Bob-omb gang which protects Shroom City, and lives in the basement of Mushroom Condo. When the player encounters him, he is sitting on a throne with two Bob-ombs next to him. He then challenges the player to the dice game, where the player and Big Bob-omb roll dice blocks, and the one with the higher number three times wins. If the player wins, they get the Gaddget Stress Press. The ending states that he retired and moved to the jungle, and Bob-omb becomes his replacement.
Mario Party 8
Two Big Bob-ombs appear in You're the Bob-omb, a minigame in Mario Party 8. One of them blows up when the correct wire is detonated, causing the player whose Big Bob-omb is connected to it to lose the minigame. Both can also blow up or not blow up, resulting in a tie.
Mario Party 9
King Bob-omb, named Big Bob-omb in the British English version, appears in the minigame Bombard King Bob-omb in Mario Party 9. He takes damage from Bob-ombs being thrown at him, and begins attacking back only after his health is half depleted. King Bob-omb is the stage boss of Bob-omb Factory.
Mario Party: Island Tour
King Bob-omb appears in Mario Party: Island Tour. He is fought in the minigame King Bob-omb's Court of Chaos. King Bob-omb appears on the twentieth floor in the Bowser's Tower mode, being the fourth boss.
Mario Party: Star Rush
King Bob-omb is a boss in Mario Party: Star Rush. He is fought in the minigame King Bob-omb's Boom D'état. King Bob-omb takes damage from bombs being launched at him from cannons until his health is depleted entirely, defeating him.
Super Mario Party
King Bob-omb is a non-playable character in Super Mario Party. He appears on the board, King Bob-omb's Powderkeg Mine. If any players land on an Event Space, a countdown will tick down. If the countdown reaches 0, King Bob-omb will explode, causing any player around him to lose half of their coins. After the explosion, King Bob-omb will return, and the countdown restarts. Unlike previous Mario Party installments, here King Bob-omb's voice reuses voice clips from older games such as Super Mario 64. In the Partner Party version of the board, Gold Rush Mine, the spaces which trigger the countdown are completely random each round and are not labeled, so landing anywhere within the vicinity of King Bob-omb has the chance to trigger a countdown and/or explosion.
Mario Party Superstars
King Bob-omb appears as a sticker in Mario Party Superstars.
Mario Kart series
Mario Kart DS
Big Bob-omb is a boss in Mario Kart DS. He is fought by Wario at the end of the fifth level of Mission mode. Big Bob-omb takes damage from Bob-ombs, and is defeated after being hit by three of them.
Mario Kart Arcade GP DX
King Bob-omb is a non-playable character in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. He appears in the Bowser's Factory course.
Mario Kart Tour
King Bob-omb appears in Mario Kart Tour as a High-End driver. He first appeared as the opponent in the Vs. Mega challenge of the Dry Bones Cup in the Wild West Tour, in a similar vein to Hammer Bro and Nabbit's debuts in the Baby Rosalina Tour and the 2020 Exploration Tour, respectively. He uses a brand new item called the Giga Bob-omb as his special item throughout the race. He became playable in the Pirate Tour, his first playable appearance. Starting with the Rosalina Tour, King Bob-omb became a regular High-End driver. The 2021 Ninja Tour introduced a gold variant of King Bob-omb with silver eyes and a silver crown, named King Bob-omb (Gold), which is also classified as a High-End, but utilizes the Coin Box as his special item.
King Bob-omb is the selected driver for Berlin Byways 2's Smash Small Dry Bones challenge.
Mario no Bōken Land
King Bob-omb appears in the manga adaptation of Super Mario 64 portion of Mario no Bōken Land. In it, Donkey Kong is added to Mario's journey to save Princess Peach from the original game, and the two fight and defeat King Bob-omb.
Mario Golf series
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
The Big Bob-omb is an obstacle in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. His name can also appear on the leaderboard. As an obstacle, the Big Bob-omb appears on a golf course in Peach's Castle Grounds, where hitting the Big Bob-omb causes him to get up and flee from the course instead of exploding. The Ring Attack mode requires the player character to hit a ring circling the Big Bob-omb to complete the hole successfully.
Mario Golf: World Tour
King Bob-omb's name is one of the names that can appear on the tournament scoreboard in Mario Golf: World Tour.
Mario Golf: Super Rush
After the game's reveal, King Bob-omb was accidentally leaked to appear as a playable character in Mario Golf: Super Rush on the game's official website.[7] He was later officially revealed in the overview trailer released on May 17, 2021. He has a Stamina of 12 and a Speed of 3. His Special Shot is Bob-ombs Away and his Special Dash is Kaboom Dash.
Mario Baseball series
In the Mario Baseball series, King Bob-omb is an item in Bob-omb Derby in both Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers. When a player smacks and get a homerun with him, he causes large fireworks and around 400-500 points for the player. Additionally, Mario Super Sluggers features King Bob-omb as a stage obstacle on the Bowser Castle stadium, where he throws Bob-ombs down onto the field. He rides a vehicle similar to the Koopa Clown Car, and can interfere with the player's hit.
Super Smash Bros. series
In the Super Smash Bros. series, there are a few collectible items of King Bob-omb. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, there is a trophy of King Bob-omb, and in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, there is a spirit of him. The spirit battle takes place on Peach's Castle, and features Kirby with a dark recolor and bright yellow eyes, made to resemble King Bob-omb. He can also be summoned using a Shake King and Bob-omb core.
Mario & Luigi series
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
King Bob-omb is a boss in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. He is fought at Mount Brrr. King Bob-omb is placed in charge of the paper terrain operation on Mount Brrr, and retains his voice clips and regal demeanor from Super Mario 64. When King Bob-omb finds that the Mario Bros. have discovered his operations, he threatens to self-destruct, forcing the trio to battle him.
King Bob-omb's boss fight is unique in that it involves a countdown timer, similar to Pi'illodium's self-destruct timer from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, being set at four minutes (three minutes in the Battle Ring). If King Bob-omb is not defeated within time limit, he explodes and deals devastating amounts of damage to each Bro nine times, enough to potentially cause a Game Over if Emergency Block isn't used. If at least one Bro survives the explosion, the battle is won, but players will not earn any of the associated rewards for doing so.
King Bob-omb attacks by throwing Bob-ombs at the trio which if stomped on will turn around and damage him back, attempting to pick up Mario or Luigi before throwing them at Paper Mario which can be prevented by hammering his hand right as the bro is about to be picked up, or by rallying a large red bomb at Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario in a sequence which is knocked back with the hammer. If the trio successfully counter the red bomb rally, King Bob-omb's timer will be set back by a minute, to King Bob-omb's shock; most likely due to his unbalanced state afterward. All of King Bob-omb's attacks have a high chance to give a Dizzy status if not counter-attacked. Due to the timer in the battle, Boo Biscuits cannot be used; due to his crown, he is immune to Jump attacks and certain Bros. Attacks, such as Rocket Blast or the second half of Mega Thwonk.
King Bob-omb retains all of his attacks from Super Mario 64; throwing Bob-ombs as well as picking up and throwing one of the Bros. His only new attack is the red bomb rally. Additionally, he is one of the few bosses in the game to not feature a chase attack in his moveset.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey
King Bob-omb appears as a boss in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. He is a ranged enemy, attacking by throwing Bob-ombs, and his Special Skill is Rain of Pain. He is battled in two levels, firstly in The Power of Junior, where he is Captain Goomba's "game-changer", and is battled with Captain Goomba, Captain Shy Guy, Captain Boo, and Captain Koopa Troopa. He must be defeated in under 90 seconds, otherwise he will self-destruct and instantly defeat all allies.
King Bob-omb also appears in the post-game level A Mighty Melee where he is fought in the first and third rounds. In the first round, he must be defeated in under 60 seconds, and in the third round, he fights alongside Broque Madame and must be defeated in under 90 seconds. During this level, his special skills cannot be denied much like a Malatone Formula:X-infected enemy, despite not being infected himself.
Dr. Mario World
King Bob-omb appears as an assistant in Dr. Mario World, though unlike most assistants, he is obtained solely through winning battle boxes in the game's versus mode (in a similar vein to Banzai Bill), where he can be obtained starting from Tier 3 onwards. In stage mode, he grants a chance that two viruses are eliminated when starting a stage, but will not completely eliminate any that requires multiple hits to be eliminated, such as floatie viruses. In versus mode, he grants a chance that the doctor's attack sends an extra row of viruses to the opponent's side of the field.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
While King Bob-omb himself does not appear in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, in The Last Spark Hunter DLC, Kanya created two robot models after his likeness (albeit with Rabbid ears), Mecha King Bob-omb and its prototype, Proto Mecha King Bob-omb.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie
King Bob-omb appears in The Super Mario Bros. Movie along with King Boo as one of the guests at Bowser and Peach's wedding. He falls asleep a few seconds in, even during the ruckus created by Ice Peach. To then disperse the various minions surrounding her, Peach burns a spear and tosses it at King Bob-omb, igniting his fuse, waking him up. Everyone runs in fear, while King Bob-omb starts panicking, only to sigh before exploding. The explosion he causes hurts Peach, making her lose her ice form in the process.
Other appearances
Bomu Kingu from Trade & Battle: Card Hero (left) and Kousoku Card Battle: Card Hero (right)
King Bob-omb is potentially the basis for ボムノスケ (Bomu Nosuke), one of the collectible monsters in Trade & Battle: Card Hero. In the sequel Kousoku Card Battle: Card Hero, it was given a redesign that strengthens their similarities. It was also directly renamed ボムキング (Bomu Kingu, "Bomb King") in this title, the same Japanese name for King Bob-omb. It is the leveled-up form of a smaller red bomb monster named ボムゾウ (Bomu Zou). It uses a self-destructive attack that causes heavy damage.
General information
Physical appearance
King Bob-omb has a large, circular, explosive body. The color of his body is black just like in the first games, but is sometimes shown in a dark purple tint like in Mario Party Advance. His large eyes and body shape are identical to a Bob-omb's, although he has no visible wind-up keys or fuses (as he wears a large bejeweled crown), and he has a large white mustache. Originally, he was depicted with yellow spheres as hands and smooth shoes, but this was changed to white mittens and pointed shoes and he has retained this appearance from Super Mario 64 DS onward. His method of attack, which involves throwing his opponents, is like that of Chuckya, an enemy similar in appearance; he is also defeated in a very similar way. In his artwork for Mario Party: Star Rush, King Bob-omb has visible scratches on his body. In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, King Bob-omb has a more visible fuse peeking out of his crown, unlike in the games.
Personality
King Bob-omb is an antagonist, but acts in a regal, gentleman-like manner and is not afraid to admit defeat and compliment the player in Super Mario 64. He even briefly gives tips on how to defeat Bowser and reselect completed missions, and Mario Party Advance implies that he actually leads the society of the Bob-omb Mafia to protect Shroom City. In Super Mario 64 DS only, he is very critical and patronizing towards everyone he believes is of lower class. He, along with Chief Chilly, is proud of his mustache, leading him to act condescending to those without a mustache or to criticize mustaches he sees as inferior. He even seems to equate mustaches with strength, claiming that the bare-faced Yoshi has no chance against him. When he returns in Big Bob-omb's Revenge, he mentions that he has restyled his mustache, as though this could assist him. Also, despite insulting Mario and Luigi for having inferior mustaches, he seems to view Wario's mustache as dignified.
In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, King Bob-omb retains the regal aspect of his personality, but is now more stolid, using as few words as possible. He acts like a perfectionist, going as far as to initiate his own self-destruction to protect the secrets of his operation. He still believes in mustaches as signs of power, with his incredulity upon defeat only sated when he realizes that the Bros. also sport fine mustaches of their own.
