Talk:King Bob-omb
Where's a source for the Bob-omb buddies being afraid of him because of his white mustache? I know they're afraid of Big Bob-omb, but I don't seem to recall anything mentioning a fear due to his mustache. Super Wario Bros 18:07, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
When defeated, Big Bob-omb explodes, leaving behind the Star. And yet (in the DS remake) he returns, whole and unharmed. Since he mentions having returned, we can rule out the possibility that the second king was an impostor (unless, of course, the first Big Bob-omb was the impostor). So, maybe Bowser reassembled the pieces and animated them with a new Power Star. Goombomb 20:29, 9 September 2011
Name
Where does it say that he isn't King Bob-Omb? That should be the title. pipe projects away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bjdill (talk).
- His name should stay Big-Bob-omb cause that's what he's called in most games same with Queen Bee Raven Effect (talk)
- Also, he is King Bob-omb. It says so in the first sentence in his article. Think of it as a nickname.

Name?
On Mario party 9, while i was playing, Bowser said his name was King Bob-omb. SuperPaperFan
King Bob-omb
I think this should be moved to King Bob-omb. I'd propose it myself, but as you all know, my proposals are a disaster:D
Hi! I'm Electrical Bowser jr.!
- No because he's only called King Bob-omb in 1 game so it's just like Queen Bee. Raven Effect (talk)
Move to King Bob-Omb
Should we move this to King Bob-Omb, because this is the most recent names in most recent games (In Mario Party 9, Mario Party: Island Tour and Mario Golf: World Tour) since this is a policy of the Super Mario Wiki...--

- Yeah, sounds like a legit name change, so sure. - Walkazo 16:40, 16 April 2015 (EDT)
- Ok, thank you, I will move this...--(TALK) 16:43, 16 April 2015 (EDT)

Move this page to King Bob-Omb
In more recent games, he is named King Bob-Omb. Should this be moved? Supermario12345 16:27, July 4, 2021 (EDT)
- I believe there are still some games that use the lowercase "o", the latest I'm aware of being the Bowser's Inside Story remake from 2019 (not counting Super Mario 3D All-Stars since text is no different from the original). I think we would have written his name this way throughout the relevant sections if it really was that consistent. Does Mario Golf: Super Rush use the capital "O" as well?

- It seems like Super Rush and Mario Kart Tour both use the name "King Bob-omb", and given they're currently some of the most recent games I think the page should be kept here for now. BBQ Turtle (talk) 16:40, July 4, 2021 (EDT)
I screwed up an edit description
Okay sorry, i was doing a description for my King bob-omb edit but i accidentally clicked Save changes, whoops... But anyways, as i was saying...
I think we should stop using Dr. Mario World renders for Infoboxes because they're not in great resolution. I get they're the more recent renders but c'mon, why choose recent but not great resolution renders when there are older but much better resolution renders? EDIT: I also chose the Star Rush render instead of Super Party's because Star Rush's render has a less wild pose which fits an infobox image more. Shadic 34 (talk) 07:27, February 12, 2022 (EST)
I don't agree. Sure, they are somewhat worse, but newer models or artwork are usually better. We wouldn't choose an older green Swoop picture just because it looks better.

Species?
As You're the Bob-Omb has two of the King Bob-Omb character, should this make it a species and not an individual character? Thus, it's also possible that, outside of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, there's no guarantee that it's the same character every time one is seen? 70.88.202.1 11:23, August 28, 2023 (EDT)
- King Bob-omb is always presented as a singular character outside of this, so I don't think so. I believe Petey Piranha and Gooper Blooper are in a similar boat but we still treat them as singular characters. Nightwicked Bowser 13:20, August 28, 2023 (EDT)
- This ultimately amounts to them being singular or plural when it's most convenient for the designers and developers, as has happened to numerous other entities (including Mario himself!) Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:26, August 28, 2023 (EDT)
Trade & Battle: Card Hero
As mentioned on the List of references in Nintendo video games page, King Bob-omb, using his original Japanese name for this Japan-only series, appears as a monster, using a version of his design stylized after that game's aesthetic (but is blatantly him - the second game's is just him but recolored and with different eyes and fancier trappings). I have put this on the page, but it was removed for being "unlikely" or "not close enough" or "not a singular character in this appearance." The problem is, we do list other appearances on that page (since, as Nintendo games, they are first party appearances) in the relevant articles, such as Goomba, Spiny, Pokey, Lakitu, Wart, and a huge amount of other things in the Legend of Zelda games, Spiny appearing in Kirby with a similarly series-based stylized design, Eggplant Man appearing in Chibi-Robo, various fish appearing in Animal Crossing, and many, many more. I fail to see how this is any different at all, aside from being more obscure. If this game actually were localized and gave him his usual English name, would we still not list him?
