Trivia

  • Bombette's name most likely derives from a combination of bomb, referring to her kin's appearance and nature, and -ette, a semi-common suffix in female names, especially in languages such as French. However, it may also be a reference to the Noko Bombette, a Buzzy Beetle-like enemy from Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins which would explode when jumped on.
  • Her japanese name is "Pinki", referring to her color.
  • In Wario: Master of Disguise, Count Cannoli says "Bombette" when he drops bombs in battle. This is probably just a coincidence.
  • Bombette's French name is "Bombinette".
