Article on Super Mario Wiki | Bob-omb |
Bob-ombs, (ボム兵 Bomuhei, Bomb Soldiers), is an item that has appeared in every game of the Super Smash Bros. series. They will explode on contact when hit or thrown. After a short time, they will start walking back and forth on the stage and then will stop, turn red and explode. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, picking them up activates the timer, causing it to explode in one's hand if one does not throw it in time. Bob-ombs are quite dangerous items, as they do severe knockback on contact with players. Even a player who grabs a Bob-omb must be careful, as it is very easy to KO oneself if one throws the item too close, or sometimes if one is struck by a projectile while holding the bomb.
- Direct smash throw does 35% damage.
- Tap throw does 32% damage.
- While walking does 25% damage.
- When dropped does 25% damage.
- If thrown while red, does 36% damage.
- Throwing a bomb when it is red causes a bonus award
Peach occasionally plucks Bob-ombs at random when using her down special move, Vegetable. The chances of this are around 1/300.
In Sudden Death, Bob-ombs fall randomly from the sky if the match takes too long. These Bob-ombs are slightly larger than normal and (despite what most believe) can be grabbed through grabbing the item in the air. The falling Bob-ombs are absent in Super Sudden Death.
If six Bob-ombs are detonated at the same time, a large explosion will occur, normally a one-hit KO. The same effect can be used with Blast Boxes, only the effect is more powerful and requires a trigger.
When a Bob-omb starts walking after being left alone for awhile, it normally will explode on contact. However, if the player shields when the bomb is walking towards them, it will walk harmlessly past them.

Origin
In Super Mario Bros. 2, Bob-ombs were bomb-like enemies that walked around and blew themselves up. The Bob-omb could also be picked up and thrown at enemies. Bob-ombs reappeared in Super Mario Bros. 3, and if the player jumps on a Bob-omb it would become stationary. The player could also pick up the Bob-omb and throw it at enemies; however, the Bob-omb would explode after a few seconds after being jumped on. In Super Mario 64, if the player gets close enough to a Bob-omb, it ignites itself and chases after the player. They can also be picked up and thrown, but explode immediately after hitting the ground.
In the Smash Bros. games, a Bob-omb will stay at a spot for a short period of time. After the short period of time, it will walk around and self-destruct. The Bob-omb exploding on contact to whatever it hits is a reference to their behavior in Super Mario 64. [1]
Description from the Super Smash Bros. Instruction Booklet
When grabbed and thrown at an enemy, this item explodes, but if left alone, it will start walking around until its timer reaches zero...
Trophies
Melee trophy
Bob-omb
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.
- Super Mario Bros. 2, 10/88
Brawl trophy
Bob-omb
A mobile bomb with a fuse on its head. It can be picked up and thrown as a powerful explosive, but if no one grabs it, it will tire of waiting and start wandering, then detonate whenever it likes. Its power and unpredictability make it an accident waiting to happen. In sudden-death matches that go on too long, Bob-ombs rain from the sky to move things along.
