[[Image:Bombchicken.JPG|thumb|right|A '''Bomb Chicken''']][[Bomb Chickens]] are chickens that lay eggs that explode after a few seconds. The eggs look similar to the boss ''[[Bugaboom]]'' 's bombs. They are very hard to defeat, because they are incredibly high in the air. A well aimed [[Star Bits|Star Bit]] can, however, make it fall down and you then can give it a good whack.
==History==
If there is a [[Tweester]] nearby you can try to aim at the chicken's head. They are only found in the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]].

Cluckbooms first appear in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', appearing exclusively in the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]]. Like Plurps, they fly high over the ground, but every so often, they gradually lay an egg-like [[bomb]] that explodes after a few seconds. Additionally, they follow [[Mario]] rather than flying in passive loops as Plurps do. They alert the player to the bomb by making a loud squawk when it drops. A high [[spin]] or a [[Star Bit]] can momentarily stun them and bring them to the ground for the player to defeat. Their spiky combs protect them from [[stomp]]s while they fly, though they can be safely stomped when stunned, as well as spun into or simply kicked. A Cluckboom is found flying over a flowing river of sand and gets carried along it if it falls onto it. Another follows Mario up an extended elevator sequence, flying away at the end if it is not defeated.

Variant of Plurp

Cluckbooms[1] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are aggressive, explosive, and vibrantly plumed versions of the Plurp from Super Mario Sunshine. They are found exclusively in desert galaxies. Compared to the hen-like Plurps, Cluckbooms more resemble roosters, fitting with their more aggressive behavior.

History

Super Mario Galaxy

Cluckbooms first appear in Super Mario Galaxy, appearing exclusively in the Dusty Dune Galaxy. Like Plurps, they fly high over the ground, but every so often, they gradually lay an egg-like bomb that explodes after a few seconds. Additionally, they follow Mario rather than flying in passive loops as Plurps do. They alert the player to the bomb by making a loud squawk when it drops. A high spin or a Star Bit can momentarily stun them and bring them to the ground for the player to defeat. Their spiky combs protect them from stomps while they fly, though they can be safely stomped when stunned, as well as spun into or simply kicked. A Cluckboom is found flying over a flowing river of sand and gets carried along it if it falls onto it. Another follows Mario up an extended elevator sequence, flying away at the end if it is not defeated.

Appearances

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Cluckbooms return in Super Mario Galaxy 2, acting the same as before. They are now found in the Slipsand Galaxy. Unlike in the previous game, Cluckbooms that fall onto flowing sand are not carried along it.
