Template:Item-infobox Kick Bombs[1] are bombs introduced in Super Mario 3D World. They are patterned after soccer balls to indicate that they can be kicked forward. The explosions are capable of breaking Rock Blocks and defeating enemies. Kick Bombs can be found idle, and are shot from cannons and thrown by Bowser in his first two battles. They eventually flash red before exploding; they can also be shot or thrown already in this state, and they also flash upon being kicked. The player cannot kick a Kick Bomb that is flashing red, as it will explode and hurt the player. Normal Kick Bombs can also be swiped at or rolled into, making them fly faster, higher, and farther than if they were ran into.

They appear in Bowser's Highway Showdown as one of the main obstacles throughout the level, and they are the only way to defeat Bowser when he is riding his Koopa Chase, where he tosses the bombs from. Kick Bombs then appear during the rematch with Bowser in Bowser's Lava Lake Keep. During these boss battles, if the Kick Bombs are swiped at or rolled into and hit Bowser, they will do triple the damage, which could allow Bowser to be defeated in three hits instead of nine.
