The '''Bob-omb Battlefield''' is the first course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The player character can enter the course through the [[painting]] in the far left room on the first floor of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], and the [[★ door|door]] into the room does not require any [[Power Star]]s to open. The Bob-omb Battlefield is the grassy battleground of a war being waged between the black-colored [[Bob-omb]]s, led by the [[King Bob-omb|Big Bob-omb]], and the pink-colored [[Bob-omb Buddy|Bob-omb Buddies]].
'''Bob-omb Battlefield''' is the first course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The painting through which [[Mario]] can enter Bob-omb Battlefield is located on the first floor of [[Princess Peach's Castle]], through the door on the far left. It does not require any [[Power Star]]s to enter. Bob-omb Battlefield takes place in a grassland area with many trees. It contains several mountains and hills which can be climbed. Bob-omb Battlefield is always in constant war, with the Black [[Bob-omb]]s fighting against the [[Bob-omb Buddy|Bob-omb Buddies]]. Mario's enemies include Bob-ombs, [[Goomba]]s, a [[Koopa Troopa]] and a [[Chain Chomp]], the only one in ''Super Mario 64''. There are several [[Wing Cap]] [[! Block]]s and six [[cannon]]s in the level.

==Levels==
The level titles and numbers correspond to the original ''Super Mario 64'' unless otherwise noted.


===Star 1: Big Bob-omb on the Summit===
==Layout==
[[File:Big Bob-omb Battle.png|thumb|left|Mario facing the [[Big Bob-omb]].]]
[[File:SM64DS Bob-omb Battlefield Map.png|frame|left|Map of the Bob-omb Battlefield in ''Super Mario 64 DS'']]
In the very first level of ''Super Mario 64'', Mario has to get to the summit of the mountain of Bob-omb Battlefield to fight the [[Big Bob-omb]]. To get to Big Bob-omb, Mario can take the path that starts from the first cannon in the level and leads up to the mountain 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. Upon reaching the summit, Mario is confronted by the Big Bob-omb. Mario can defeat the Big Bob-omb by picking him up from behind and throwing him to the ground. When Mario misses and throws the Big Bob-omb from the summit plateau, he will come back claiming Mario cheated and Mario will have to start over again. Mario must throw him to the ground three times. Upon defeat, the Big Bob-omb releases a Power Star.
The setting of the course takes place on and around a mountain, split between the territories of the two Bob-omb races. The player starts in the Bob-omb Buddies' territory, far off from the mountain in an area with two Bob-omb Buddies and a [[cannon]] that is available to use after the player has collected the first Power Star, along with a couple of [[crate]]s and [[Goomba]]s farther ahead. To the left of the starting area are a few Bob-ombs and a gate that has to be opened by pressing the [[! Switch#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Purple Switch]] on the other side of it, providing a shortcut should it be opened. Additionally, several [[metal ball|iron ball]]s roll down the slope and collide around this area. Going up the bridge from the starting area leads the player into a field with several large rocks, Goombas, a [[Koopa Troopa]], and a [[Chain Chomp]]. Several [[Water bomb (object)|water bomb]]s fall into this area, damaging the player character if he comes into contact with them. Crossing the [[seesaw|teetering bridge]] ahead brings the player into the Big Bob-omb's territory.


In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the battle is changed. [[Yoshi]] is the only character available at the beginning of the game, so the Big Bob-omb will throw Bob-ombs at Yoshi. As such, Yoshi has to grab a Bob-omb with his mouth and throw it at the Big Bob-omb, before the Bob-omb explodes in Yoshi's mouth.  
To the left of the bridge is an area with a couple of Goombas and several [[stump]]s, in the middle of which is the [[Star Marker]] for this course. Up the short set of stairs is a large field with many Bob-ombs and a cannon, along with water bombs falling from the sky to attack the player. At the end of the field is a path leading behind the gate from earlier. Going up the stone path leads into the base of the mountain, which has two iron balls (or three except for the first Star in the original version) rolling around in the crevice. The way up the mountain is a spiraling pathway with iron balls constantly rolling down it and gaps the player has to [[jump]] over. The player can also use a [[warp|Warp Point]], located in the small cave the iron balls roll out of, to instantly travel up to the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain lies either the Big Bob-omb during the [[Big Bob-omb on the Summit|first mission]] (and also the [[Big Bob-omb's Revenge|fourth mission]] in the DS remake), the [[pole|flagpole]] during the race against [[Koopa the Quick]] during the [[Footrace with Koopa the Quick|second mission]], or nothing at all during any other mission.


;Names in other languages
Also on the course is a floating island that does not appear to be controlled by either territory. The island contains a [[Cap Block|red block]] containing a [[Wing Cap]]/feather, a [[! Block|yellow block]] containing a Power Star, and a cannon that can be used to collect the rings of [[coin]]s floating in the air.

!Mission
For the second Power Star of the level, Mario has to race [[Koopa the Quick]]. Mario has to reach the flagpole at the summit of the mountain before Koopa the Quick does. However, just like when racing the Big Penguin in [[Cool, Cool, Mountain]], the player cannot cheat; using one of the [[Cannon]]s scattered across Bob-omb Battlefield will make Koopa The Quick refuse to give away the star. However, players are allowed to use any other shortcuts to reach the finish point.

This mission is pretty much the same in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. However, there is a slight change. Koopa The Quick will only want to race against Mario himself. Since [[Yoshi]] is the only character available at the time, Yoshi must take a [[Mario's Hat|Mario Cap]] and then race against Koopa The Quick. If Yoshi loses the cap during the race, Koopa The Quick will wonder where Mario is and won't relinquish the Star. If the player regains their Mario Cap and wins the race, Koopa the Quick will act like Yoshi lost. A very useful shortcut in both versions is, before the race starts, the player steps on the switch that opens the gate, and then goes through the it during the race.

=== Star 3 (N64): Shoot to the Island in the Sky ===
[[File:Here_We_Go!!.jpg|thumb|200px|Mario on the floating island.]]
In the original ''Super Mario 64'', the third Power Star of Bob-omb Battefield is found in a [[! Block]] on a floating "island", which is floating near the big mountain. In order to get it, Mario first has to talk to the Bob-omb Buddies at the beginning of the level to open the cannons. When the player blasts off to the floating island, it is possible to go over the island if aimed incorrectly when fired and land on top of the mountain. If the player manages to reach the island, they need to break the mystery block on the floating island to grab the [[Power Star]] that comes out of it.

The player has to fight the Big Bob-omb a second time, but only this time with a character other than Yoshi, because in this battle, there are no projectiles to throw. To get the Power Star, Mario, Luigi or Wario has to do the same objective as Star 1 in the N64 version. However, if the player throws the Big Bob-omb off the mountain, he accuses the player of cheating. Once Big Bob-omb is thrown three times, the Power Star will appear.

For this mission, Mario has to fly through five rings of coins in the air using the [[Wing Cap]] and collect all five middle coins of the rings to make the Power Star appear. Taking off from the floating island, he has to use the Wing Cap and shoot himself from a cannon to have enough speed to hit all the rings, as well as being able to fly upwards. The Power Star appears in the meadow near the Star Marker. It is also possible to use the cannon on its own to go through all the rings.

===Star 6 (N64)/7 (DS): Behind Chain Chomp's Gate===
[[File:Behind Chain Chomp's Gate.png|200px|thumb|Mario ground pounding on the [[Chain Chomp]]'s stake.]]
The sixth Power Star of Bob-omb Battlefield is located behind iron bars near the Chain Chomp. To get it, Mario first has to free the Chain Chomp by [[Ground Pound]]ing its pole three times. Freed, it will destroy the iron bars and Mario will be able to get the star. A [[List of glitches in Super Mario 64|glitch]] is to hold a [[Bob-omb]] near the bars and wait for it to explode. The force of the explosion will push Mario inside the gate.
The star in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' can be gotten in the same way. However, there are several alternatives to getting the star normally, such as using [[Vanish Mario|Vanish Luigi]] to phase through the bars, ground-pounding the stake a single time as Wario, or collecting the star during the third mission (since the Chain Chomp has been moved to the adjacent field). Additionally, in the original game, a higher jump is required to collect the star, since it is too high to collect with a normal one; in the DS version this has been changed so that a normal jump may be used.

The Bob-omb Battlefield is the first course in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. The player character can enter the course through the painting in the far left room on the first floor of the Mushroom Castle, and the door into the room does not require any Power Stars to open. The Bob-omb Battlefield is the grassy battleground of a war being waged between the black-colored Bob-ombs, led by the Big Bob-omb, and the pink-colored Bob-omb Buddies.

Map of Bob-omb Battlefield

The setting of the course takes place on and around a mountain, split between the territories of the two Bob-omb races. The player starts in the Bob-omb Buddies' territory, far off from the mountain in an area with two Bob-omb Buddies and a cannon that is available to use after the player has collected the first Power Star, along with a couple of crates and Goombas farther ahead. To the left of the starting area are a few Bob-ombs and a gate that has to be opened by pressing the Purple Switch on the other side of it, providing a shortcut should it be opened. Additionally, several iron balls roll down the slope and collide around this area. Going up the bridge from the starting area leads the player into a field with several large rocks, Goombas, a Koopa Troopa, and a Chain Chomp. Several water bombs fall into this area, damaging the player character if he comes into contact with them. Crossing the teetering bridge ahead brings the player into the Big Bob-omb's territory.

To the left of the bridge is an area with a couple of Goombas and several stumps, in the middle of which is the Star Marker for this course. Up the short set of stairs is a large field with many Bob-ombs and a cannon, along with water bombs falling from the sky to attack the player. At the end of the field is a path leading behind the gate from earlier. Going up the stone path leads into the base of the mountain, which has two iron balls (or three except for the first Star in the original version) rolling around in the crevice. The way up the mountain is a spiraling pathway with iron balls constantly rolling down it and gaps the player has to jump over. The player can also use a Warp Point, located in the small cave the iron balls roll out of, to instantly travel up to the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain lies either the Big Bob-omb during the first mission (and also the fourth mission in the DS remake), the flagpole during the race against Koopa the Quick during the second mission, or nothing at all during any other mission.

Also on the course is a floating island that does not appear to be controlled by either territory. The island contains a red block containing a Wing Cap/feather, a yellow block containing a Power Star, and a cannon that can be used to collect the rings of coins floating in the air.

In the Super Mario Mash-up available on the Nintendo system versions of Minecraft, one of the possible paintings that can be hung is the one for the Bob-omb Battlefield. In the premade world for the pack, there is a recreation of Peach's Castle, including the room with the Bob-omb Battlefield's painting. Going through the painting leads to a pipe that takes the player to a beach near the world's recreation of Delfino Plaza.

In Super Mario Odyssey, the brochure held by Hint Toad and in the Odyssey depicts a bird's-eye view of the Bob-omb Battlefield.[2]

At the entrance to Super Nintendo World, in the foyer of Peach's Castle, the painting for the Bob-omb Battlefield is hanging on the wall. However, the painting is a lenticular print; if looked at from a different angle, it instead displays Bowser Jr. holding his Magic Paintbrush and a Golden Mushroom.[3]

The Bob-omb Battlefield briefly appears in The Super Mario Bros. Movie as one of the locations Mario, Princess Peach, and Toad visit on their journey to the Jungle Kingdom.[4]
