[https://web.archive.org/web/19980610064256/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/2-3.html Course 2 - Star 3: Shoot in the Wild Blue]. ''Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy'' (Internet Archive: Wayback Machine). Retrieved March 15, 2022.</ref>) are recurring allies to [[Mario]] of the [[Bob-omb]] species, introduced in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They can be differentiated from the foes by their distinct pink or red color, their silver-colored caps on their tops, instead of the usual fuse, and their silver windup keys, signifying their pacifist and peaceful nature. Similar red or pink Bob-ombs appear among others colors in certain games, such as ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', but are not treated specifically as Bob-omb Buddies. | ||

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 are in, or detect the three [[cap]]s 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 caps. In addition, Bob-omb Buddies appear in several [[minigame]]s in this game. | Bob-omb Buddies reappear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', serving the same role that they had in the original game.
