'''Bomb blocks''' are a type of block in the [[Subspace Emissary]] mode of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The standard design of bomb blocks are typically labelled with hazard stripes and a round design in the center, though there is also an alternate appearance of bomb blocks exclusive to [[Subspace]] levels, which are shallow, and purple. When struck by a damaging hitbox, a bomb block will explode and destroy nearby blocks in a set pattern, which generally involves a chain-reaction that clears a path. This mechanic is commonly used to clear obstacles in the Subspace Emissary, though at times it simultaneously acts as a hazard, opening a path while destroying the floor for example. Unlike the bomb blocks that appear in [[Green Greens]], these bomb blocks deal no damage to neither players nor enemies.

Attacking one block to set off a chain-reaction destruction of other blocks is a staple of the [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' series]]. In various cases, [[Kirby]] can hit a bomb block to clear a path or expediate the destruction of a cluster of regular blocks. Some bomb blocks also have the unusual ability to create unbreakable blocks in chain-reaction patterns, often used to close recently-opened paths or act as a trap that blocks off a collectible. As these bomb blocks feature in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], these bomb blocks likely serve as the origin for the bomb blocks in the Subspace Emissary.
