'''Microbombs''' are small [[Bob-omb]]s in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Their use is first demonstrated in the [[Mole Mines]] by [[Croco]], who uses one in an attempt to [[flee]] from [[Mario]]. Once Croco is defeated, he drops a single Microbomb (known as '''Bambino Bomb''' in the English version), which is used to proceed further in the mines. Later, an unlimited supply is seen being thrown by [[Punchinello]] at the end of the path. They are the first bombs to be thrown as well as the weakest, but they can still be a problem if they are left alone. Soon after they are defeated, more are thrown, but when Punchinello loses enough [[Heart Point|HP]], they stop being thrown and are replaced by regular Bob-ombs.
