Gooey Bomb

Gooey Bomb
A sticky explosive
Universe	Super Smash Bros.
Appears in	SSBB
Item class	Explosive

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. The Gooey Bomb is an original item, and does not hail from any series.

Trophy information

A bomb encased in a blob of goo. This material is highly adhesive, so you can throw it at and stick it to opponents. Once it's attached to someone, this nefarious device will explode after a set amount of time. Be wary, though--if you come into contact with the character carrying the bomb, it may stick to you. This truly is a high-risk item.

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.
  

  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 highly unlikely.

• Gooey Bombs are not always directly stuck upon the opponent, sometimes they seem to "float" above the user.
• 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).
