“I'm the Big Bob-omb, baron of all blasting matter, king of ka-booms the world over! Incredible! You made it this far even without a mustache. I commend your courage. Be that as it may, I can't just give you my precious power star. You must defeat me in battle if you want it! You'll be quite helpless facing my Bob-omb minions. Now put your tongue back in your mouth. It's quite undignified. Let's battle!”

Mario, fighting Big Bob-omb.

Big Bob-omb, sometimes called King Bob-omb, because of his crown, is the first boss who is fought in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. Guarding the Power Star, which Bowser entrusted him with, he will not give it up without a fight. In Super Mario 64, Mario merely has to run around to the back of him, pick him up, and toss him 3 times. Only then will he give up the Star. If he is thrown off the mountain, he will accuse Mario of cheating and he will have to start over. He is chivalrous, a trait not seen in many Mario series characters.

In Super Mario 64 DS, he is fought twice. The first time is as Yoshi, and instead of picking him up, Yoshi had to lick up Bob-ombs he threw them at Yoshi and spit them back at him before they explode in Yoshi's mouth. After hit by a Bob-omb, he would bounce around in an attempt to squish Yoshi. Three Bob-omb hits, and he's down. The second time, he can only be defeated by one of the three plumbers and use the same strategy used in Super Mario 64. You fight him 2 times in Bob-omb battlefield one in Big Bob-omb on the summit one in Big bob-omb's revenge
