Super Mario

Big Bob-omb on the the Summit is the first mission of Bob-omb Battlefield in Super Mario 64 and its remake Super Mario 64 DS.

Objective[]

Super Mario 64[]

To collect the first Star of the game, Mario needs to advance throughout the course and scale the mountain until reaching the top of the summit. There are several obstacles and enemies on his way, including Goombas, a Chain Chomp, water bombs, and Big Steelies which roll down the path. Here, he encounters King Bob-omb, and the two start battling one another. In order for Mario to defeat him, he has to go behind him and lift him up to slam him to the ground. King Bob-omb then makes a single bounce and gets back up. Mario must repeat this step two more times in order to fully defeat King Bob-omb to gain his first Power Star, allowing him to gain access to the top-right room with The Princess's Secret Slide and Whomp's Fortress.

Super Mario 64 DS[]

Bob-omb DS Battle

Yoshi battling King Bob-omb in Super Mario 64 DS

The battle is changed as Yoshi is the only character available at the beginning of the game. This makes King Bob-omb not having to be picked up in order to be defeated and rather more must be defeated by Yoshi licking the Bob-ombs he summons and throws it at him three times before they explode in Yoshi's mouth to gain the Power Star. He also bounces more than once after being hit, unlike Super Mario 64 where he only bounces once and then gets up. When playing as Mario, Luigi, or Wario, they can throw Bob-ombs back at King Bob-omb three times.
