Bob-omb Buddy: Difference between revisions

In their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', the Bob-omb Buddies help Mario by opening [[cannon]]s for him, and they are shown to have a longstanding rivalry with the evil Bob-ombs, as this was the first time both groups were at war.

Bob-omb Buddies reappear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', serving the same role that they had in the original game. However, additional Bob-omb Buddies have been placed in the courses that can either help Mario and his allies by giving the locations of the eight [[Red Coin]]s in whatever level they're in, or detect the three caps that the player can use to transform into other players. Bob-omb Buddies have updated designs in this game. They wear shoes, unlike the Bob-omb Buddies in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. They also have little fuses that are hard to see on their cap. In addition, Bob-omb Buddies appear in several [[minigame]]s in this game.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Bob-omb Buddies appear in a number of [[minigame]]s, including [[Sort or 'Splode]], and [[Danger, Bob-omb! Danger!]], that were carried over from ''Super Mario 64 DS''. They are also known in this game as '''Red Bob-ombs'''.

Bob-omb Buddies reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Their only appearance in a [[galaxy]] is in the [[Throwback Galaxy]] where they give Mario information. In the first mission, [[Return of The Whomp King]], they ask Mario to defeat the [[Whomp King]] for them. Later on in the second and third missions, [[Silver Stars in the Whomp Fortress]] and [[Whomp Silver Star Speed Run]] respectively, one Bob-omb Buddy hides five [[Silver Star]]s around the fortress and Mario has to go find them. One of the Bob-omb Buddies mentions that Mario looks familiar, referencing ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]. This happens even with [[Luigi]].

One Bob-omb Buddy makes an additional appearance on the [[Starship Mario]], standing on a stump after Mario completes the first mission in the Throwback Galaxy. He asks if Mario has ever been to a Secret World, which is later revealed to be [[World S]].
