Bombshell Koopas,[1] originally known as Nokobon[2] or Nobokon,[3][4] are enemies debuting in Super Mario Land. They are Koopa Troopa varieties with bombs for shells. Their counterpart in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins is Noko Bombette.

HistoryEdit

Super Mario LandEdit

Bombshell Koopas are in every level of Super Mario Land except Worlds 2-3 and 4-3. They move back and forth without going off of platforms, like red-shelled Koopa Troopas. Bombshell Koopas explode shortly after being stomped.[4] A Superball can defeat a Bombshell Koopa without exploding it.

Super Mario Land mangaEdit

Following the Goombos, Bombshell Koopas are the second enemy fought by Mario and Mecha Kuribō in the Super Mario Land manga. Bombshell Koopas become bombs when stomped, exploding on a confused Mario.

During the last chapter, an exploding Bombshell Koopa destroys a magical seal tossed by a Goombo.
