'''Bob- | '''Bob-omb''' ({{ja|ボム兵|Bomuhei}}, ''Bomb Trooper'') is an [[item]] that has appeared in every game of the {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} series, originating from the {{uv|Mario}} series. It acts as a powerful, explosive throwing item in all of its appearances. | ||

[[File: | [[File:BobombSMB3.jpg|thumb|left|Official artwork of Bob-ombs from ''[[Super Mario World]]''.]] | ||
Introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Bob-ombs are bomb-like enemies that walk around, exploding after a short time. Jumping on a Bob-omb (except in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'') stuns it; in this state, it can be picked up and thrown, defeating enemies and destroying blocks with its explosion, which can also damage the player. If it is not thrown quickly enough, the Bob-omb explodes on its own, also damaging its holder. | |||
In ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'', Bob-ombs react to [[Mario]] if he comes close enough to them by igniting themselves and chasing after him. They can also be grabbed, and when thrown they explode immediately upon coming into contact with anything. | |||

Bob-ombs can be picked up by any player and subsequently thrown at opponents. Being an explosive, the item can easily inflict large [[damage]] and [[knockback]] to other players, but it can also potentially harm the attacker.

Bob-ombs also explode if they are simply hit by an attack. | ||
When a Bob-omb is held by a player for a while, it will begin flashing red, and shortly after will automatically explode in the holder's hands. While it is flashing red to signify its imminent detonation, it will be more powerful than usual, but it is also close to exploding, making for a risk-reward scenario. A held Bob-omb can also be detonated in the holder's hands if they are attacked and the attack hits the Bob-omb. | When a Bob-omb is held by a player for a while, it will begin flashing red, and shortly after will automatically explode in the holder's hands.

If a Bob-omb is not picked up, after a while, it will stand up and begin to walk back and forth on the platform it spawned on, turning around at edges.

In this state, it will explode if it walks into a player. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', it is possible to pick up the item just before it starts walking. If it has not exploded after a brief period of walking, it will stand still while flashing red, and then explode, causing damage and knockback to anyone nearby. In ''SSB4'', if a Bob-omb is close to any fighters, it will walk towards them when it starts moving, making it more dangerous than in previous games. | ||

Ultimate]]'', Bob-ombs cause knockback opposite the direction in which the explosion makes contact<!--what about when dropped/falling? difference between thrown vs. smash thrown?-->, even potentially [[meteor smash]]ing the opponent. In previous games, the launch angle is always diagonally upward. | ||

===In Sudden Death=== | ===In Sudden Death=== | ||
If a [[Sudden Death]] match lasts for too long and a winner hasn't been announced, Bob-ombs will begin to fall from above the stage, instantly exploding upon striking players or the stage. They are intended to end a match more quickly, and unusually, they can be grabbed in midair. These Bob-ombs can be avoided by [[camp]]ing in certain places on some stages, but on most stages there is no completely safe position that can be occupied indefinitely. They can also be avoided by stalling on [[edge]]s, but this also cannot be done indefinitely except through [[planking]]. | |||
The falling Bob-ombs do not appear in [[Super Sudden Death]] | The falling Bob-ombs do not appear in [[Super Sudden Death]]. | ||

:''These little guys are just what they appear to be: walking bombs. Pick one up and hurl it for an incredibly potent attack. If no one picks them up, Bob-ombs light their own fuses and start wandering around armed and dangerous. In Super Mario 64, Bob-ombs chased Mario down once they noticed him. Pink Bob-ombs are nice and capable of speech.'' | |||

* | *In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', using {{SSB|Fox}}'s [[Reflector]] on a walking Bob-omb will make it [[one-hit KO]] him. Alongside the [[Home-Run Bat]], it is the only item in the game which can perform a one-hit KO. | ||
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', a walking Bob-omb can be [[reflect]]ed. This Bob-omb will not explode upon contact with the owner of the reflector until it turns around, but will still explode for teammates. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywV04VY8Ymc] | |||

*In {{forwiiu}}, CPUs will have odd behavior when they happen to hold a Bob-omb; they may either throw it as soon as they pick it up (which is dangerous) or go to a random location and never throw the Bob-omb, most likely leading to their death. This erratic behavior also happens in [[Training Mode]] with CPUs that are not in "Attack" mode. | *In {{forwiiu}}, CPUs will have odd behavior when they happen to hold a Bob-omb; they may either throw it as soon as they pick it up (which is dangerous) or go to a random location and never throw the Bob-omb, most likely leading to their death.
