Bob-omb (King Bob-omb)

King Bob-omb, also known as Big Bob-omb, is a recurring character in the Super Mario series. He first appeared in Super Mario 64 in Bob-omb Battlefield, known for being the boss of that level. In the same way that Bowser is the King of the Koopas, King Bob-omb is the King of the Bob-ombs. He wears a crown, declares himself the Bob-omb king, and is located on the top of the level's mountain. He sports a mustache, yellow feet and hands, a large crown and blue arms and legs. In Super Mario 64 DS, it is Yoshi, not Mario, who first defeats him. King Bob-omb often appears as a boss, with a signature battle style of grabbing and throwing him. Although a member of the Koopa Troop, he also leads his own Bob-omb gang in certain games. Furthermore, King Bob-omb is featured in many spin-off Mario games, such as Mario Party, Mario Kart, and Mario Golf, often as a boss, an obstacle or a playable character. Notably, there's also a special Bob-omb named "Bobby" in Paper Mario: The Origami King, who is an important ally, but unrelated to King Bob-omb.
