Bob-ombs made their debut in the Japan-only game ''{{s|mariowiki|Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic}}'' (repurposed as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' for international markets) as a common enemy, and have become a common enemy in later ''Mario'' games. They are bomb-like enemies with simple eyes that feature two little legs and a wind-up key on the back.
Bob-ombs made their debut in the Japan-only game ''{{s|mariowiki|Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic}}'' (repurposed as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' for international markets) as a common enemy, and have become a common enemy in later ''Mario'' games. They are bomb-like enemies with simple eyes that feature two little legs and a wind-up key on the back. Recurring members of the Bob-omb species are {{s|mariowiki|King Bob-omb}}, monarch and leader of the Bob-ombs, and {{s|mariowiki|Bob-omb Buddies}}, magenta-colored passive Bob-ombs friendly to Mario.


Bob-ombs simply walk around aimlessly and explode after a short time. Jumping on one (except in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'') causes it to become immobile, but it will also cause it to explode after a short time. In later ''Mario'' games, jumping on one can cause it to remain stationary without exploding. If they are left alone for too long, however, they will become mobile again. In either case, an immobile Bob-ombs can be picked up and thrown, defeating enemies and destroying blocks with its explosion, which can also damage the player. If it is not thrown quickly enough, the Bob-omb explodes on its own, also damaging its holder.

In ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'', Bob-ombs react to [[Mario]] if he comes close enough to them by igniting themselves and chasing after him. They can also be grabbed, and when thrown they explode immediately upon coming into contact with anything.

Pink Bob-ombs are nice and capable of speech.

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.
