| A '''Time Bob-omb''' is a type of [[Bob-omb]] that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. It is a small maroon Bob-omb that first shows up during the boss battles with [[Roy Koopa]], [[Wendy O. Koopa]], and [[Larry Koopa]] in [[Bowser's Castle]]. It cannot be targeted, and it serves the role of adding a turn limit to the battles; if the number on its face reaches zero before the boss is defeated, the Mario Bros. are instantly [[Down|knocked out]]. | |

|
| A Time Bob-omb is set to eight at the start of each fight, with a text box explaining the win condition: Defeat the [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] in question before its timer reaches zero, with [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] having eight turns each to do so. It steps forward and counts down before each of Mario and Luigi's subsequent turns; upon reaching zero, it runs at the Mario Bros. and sets itself off. Under normal circumstances, this always KOs both Mario and Luigi, resulting in a [[Game Over]]. However, the damage the Time Bob-omb actually does to the Mario Bros. can be affected by their [[Heart Point|HP]] and [[Defense]] stats. It is possible through legitimate means for Mario and/or Luigi to have high-enough stats that he/they survive(s) the damage from the Time Bob-omb's explosion; in this event, the boss battle continues as normal without any time limit. If Mario and Luigi successfully defeat the Koopalings within eight turns, the Time Bob-omb will flee.
| | '''Time Bob-ombs''' are small red [[Bob-ombs]] with digital timers on their faces that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They appear during the boss battles with [[Roy Koopa]], [[Wendy O. Koopa]], and [[Larry Koopa]] in [[Bowser's Castle]]. They do not attack the Mario Bros. until the digital timer on their face reaches zero. When it does, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are instantly knocked out. The timer counts down from 8, and the brothers have only eight turns to beat the Koopalings. |

| During the [[Bowletta]] boss fight, when Mario and Luigi have nearly defeated her, a cutscene occurs, in which a Time Bob-omb appears behind the Mario Bros. and self-destructs right next to them, KOing the pair. This allows Bowletta to suck them into her stomach, where they fight [[Cackletta]]'s soul. As with the Koopalings, it is possible for Mario and Luigi to survive the explosion; however, Bowletta acts as if the Mario Bros. are unconscious and sucks them in anyway.

| Time Bob-ombs received some notable differences in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''. First, a Time Bob-omb deals a set 999 damage, regardless of Mario and Luigi's own stats, ensuring that the explosion always KOs them. In addition, Roy also explains how it works to the Mario Bros. during the start of his boss battle. Furthermore, each Time Bob-omb now has a different turn count for the Koopaling boss battles, and the turn limit lowers with each successive battle; it explodes after nine turns when Roy is fought, seven turns when Wendy is fought, and five turns when Larry is fought. If Mario and Luigi defeat the Koopaling within the given turn limit, the Time Bob-omb detonates harmlessly.
| | ==Trivia== |
| {{br|right}} | | *These Bob-ombs bear a resemblance to the Bob-ombs seen in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' as both have digital faces; however, they lack the wind-up key located at the top of their heads. |
| | | *Time Bob-ombs actually do a set amount of damage to the Mario Bros. For example, at the final battle, if Mario and/or Luigi have over 700 HP, they do not get knocked out and have comparatively less health lost. Bowletta, however, still sucks them in regardless of their condition. |
