The Bob-omb is a recurring enemy in the Super Mario games. His first appearance was in Super Mario Brothers from 1988, which makes the bob-omb only a few years younger than the Goomba which I have already described on my blog. The Bob-omb has appeared in almost every Mario game since its debut in 1988 including Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy and many others!
The Bob-omb itself looks like a little bomb. It’s a mechanical creature which gladly sacrifices itself in true kamikaze style if there is a chance the player (Mario) will get hurt. Bob-ombs can deviate a little in appearance. Most bob-ombs are black or blue in color, but pink variations also exist. These are called Bob-omb Buddies and aren’t enemies at all but allies. Some Bob-ombs are also known to have wind-up keys on their backs!
Alright guys, that’s it for today. Let me hear if you have any suggestions for video game monsters for next Wednesday! Also, you can look forward to an awesome cryptid monster tomorrow on the Monster Madnezz blog!
i love to throw these guys
SvarSletI remember so many bob-ombs in the forest level in Super Mario World! They were floating in the air in bubbles!
SvarSletI'll keep an eye out for them
SvarSleti never knew that those bombs were named bob.

SvarSletgood ol bomb-omb. he's helped me many a time in my quest to save the princess.
SvarSletLol, thanks, I'm going to need it. :)
SvarSletIf video game monsters count, then you've got a long way to go documenting all the pokemon out there
SvarSletI didn't mind them as much as I hated the Thwomps in MarioKart 64
SvarSletHehehe. I used to have a fleet of these little guys that would slowly walk their way across my desk. I wonder where they went...
SvarSlethaha, great post.. good old mario :D
SvarSletI bet there are a billion responses with "Sephiroth". So I'm going with Kefka from Final Fantasy 6.
SvarSlethow come i never saw one of those
SvarSletguess im not much of a mario player unlike i thought
Bob-omb's a classic. Have to say that chain chomp's my fav, though.
SvarSletbob-omb needs to lose some weight.
SvarSletHe's a cute little guy.
SvarSletI was always terrible at jumping over the Bob-ombs in the old-school Mario games.
SvarSleti hated those things... more like bo-grenades...
SvarSletThis monster always made me ill because it took me forever to learn to throw without blowing myself up. haha Nice post.
SvarSleticequeen100:
SvarSletNo I haven't but I probably will someday since you mentioned it ^^
Yakoi:
I will remember the zerglings. One of the games we played were actually starcraft 2, a shame it was only a trial, haha.
Mr Bouchard:
I could talk about Nemesis but I think I'll have to put him in the movie category since I haven't really played any Resident Evil games.
Immafrog:
I already wrote about Pikachu! haha.
Classically Trained Nub:
Sorry, I never really played Final Fantasy either. :/
As always a pleasure reading your comments, guys. Also thanks for all the requests! ^_^
