The '''Gooey Bomb''' (Japanese: チューインボム, ''Chūin Bomu'') is a new item for ''[[SSBB]]''. It takes on the appearance of a glowing orange sphere in a blob of goo. When thrown, it can stick to anything, even characters. Eventually it starts flashing, then explodes, damaging anyone who gets hit. However, if it sticks to a character, they can pass it to others by running past them, making it sort of like a hot potato game. The blast can still be avoided by [[dodging]] with good timing, however some CPU opponents will repeatedly activate their shield when hit with a Gooey Bomb in an attempt to [[Perfect shield]] the explosion.

Kirby, King Dedede and Wario can use their [[Inhale]] and [[Chomp]] moves to eat Gooey Bombs, but this will damage them. Kirby can also defend himself from a stuck Gooey Bomb by using the invincibility of his [[Stone]] move. It is possible to start a chain reaction of explosions when two or more Gooey Bombs are attached to one character.
The Gooey Bomb is an original item, and does not hail from any series.
 
The Gooey Bomb is an original item, and does not hail from any series, but it may have been influenced by the No 74 ST Grenade, a real life bomb that could stick to tanks.

==Trivia==
*The Gooey Bomb might be based on the No 74 ST Grenade, a real life bomb that was known for sticking onto tanks. However, this bomb would also stick to the user of the grenade, forcing the bomb to be replaced by safer types of grenades. [[Image:Pit_gooeybomb.jpg|thumb|150px|A "floating" gooey bomb.]]  Many fans also speculated that the Gooey Bomb may be based on the Plasma Grenade from the Halo series, although this is unlikely.
*Kirby has any easy self-defense against any Gooey Bomb stuck to him. Simply activating the Stone will keep Kirby from taking any damage or (granted Kirby doesn't accumulate over 30% damage while in Stone form) knockback. Opponents can sabotage a Stone-shielding Kirby by hitting him with a strong attack, making the explosion of the Gooey Bomb push the damage over 30%, delivering knockback (but no damage). He can also eat the Gooey Bomb thrown at him, although he will take damage. The latter strategy also works with King Dedede or Wario.
*It's possible to start a chain reaction of explosions when two or more gooey bomb is attached to one character.
