In ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', Autobombs were utilized by red Shyguys as a means of transportation and offense. They would pursue and shoot fiery projectiles at the player. It can travel down steps but not up. If the Shyguy was removed, the Autobomb will stop shooting and travel in a straight line. The player can then ride it, but not control it or pick it up. In some levels, riding an Autobomb was mandatory in order to cross large, [[Spike Trap|spike-filled gaps]]. The Autobomb itself can be destroyed with a thrown object.
