Bob-ombs<ref>Averill, Alan, and Jennifer Villarreal. The ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Player's Guide. Page 69.</ref>, also called '''Bomb-ombs'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 19.</ref> (or '''Bomb-Ombs'''<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 67.</ref>) and '''Neji Bombs'''<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide. Page 7.</ref>, appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', but much differently than in any other game. They are black orbs with a digital interface, and feet resembling those of a wind-up toy. After a certain amount of time, its screen displays a countdown from three, exploding at zero. However, if Mario sprays them with [[F.L.U.D.D.]] they turn blue and freeze, and they can then be picked up and thrown by Mario. They can still explode in this form.

They appear in three areas: first in [[Pinna Park]] and later in [[Noki Bay]]. Both times, they are under the control of [[Monty Mole]], who throws the bombs from their tank cannons once [[Mario]] gets too close for the mole to shoot [[Bullet Bill]]s. To defeat the Monty, the player must spray water on the Bob-ombs and then pick them up and throw them at the tank. The player must do this three times, after which the Monty Mole is defeated. The third time they appear is in "Episode 5: King Boo Down Below" of [[Sirena Beach]]. They would sometimes appear when King Boo spins the slots to the enemy pictures.

Oddly, if the player picks up one of these Bob-ombs and then gently places it down instead of throwing it, the Bob-omb will spontaneously leap forward through the air and explode upon impact.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', Bob-ombs are only found in [[Fluff-Puff Peaks Flying Battleship]]. They are fired from cannons and spawned from a {{conjectural|[[Bowser generator]]}}.

Bob-ombs will show up in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'' in the A-type mode if the player has hatched a certain number of eggs (50-59 on NES and 60-69 on Game Boy) before getting a [[Game Over]]. If the player fails to make a Yoshi appear in the bonus game, a Bob-omb will be in its place. Their graphics are actually reused from ''[[Super Mario World]]''{{'}}s [[Parabomb]]s.

Bob-ombs also appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|the Switch remake]], where they first appear in the [[Mole Mines]]. Here, they are normal enemies roaming around [[Moleville]]'s local mining mountain, although they are featured quite prominently in the battle with [[Punchinello]]. In said battle, Punchinello summons three Bob-omb-type enemies (including new types, [[Microbomb]]s and [[Mezzo Bomb]]s) for every three defeated, each getting larger and more powerful every "stage" or Punchinello's remaining health. Towards the end of his battle, a seemingly insane Punchinello tries his Bob-omb-summoning act one more time by creating [[King Bomb|a huge Bob-omb]], although this one only ends up squishing him and allowing Mario and his party to collect the [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]] he was guarding and save [[Dyna & Mite]]. In battle, Bob-ombs have average stats and no special attacks; however, when threatened, they can explode in a kamikaze attempt to cause one ally a lot of damage.
