Bob-ombs (Bomuhei (ボム兵), "Bomb soldier" in Japan) are items that 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 Brawl, picking them up activates the timer, causing it to explode in one's hand if one does not throw it in time.

• Direct smash throw does 35% damage.
• Tap A 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 can pluck Bob-ombs using her Down B, Vegetable. The chances of this are around 1 in 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.

Trophy Info

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.
