“ | I'm the Big Bob-omb, baron of all blasting matter, king of ka-booms the world over! How dare you scale my mountain? By what right do you set foot on my imperial mountaintop? You may have eluded my guards, but you'll never escape my grasp... and you'll never take away my Power Star. I hereby challenge you Mario! If you want the star I hold, you must prove yourself in battle. Can you pick me up and hurl me to this royal turf? I think that you cannot! | „ |
~ King Bob-omb to Mario |
Summary
King Bob-omb is the king and ruler of all the Bob-ombs.
He is the first boss fought in Super Mario 64 and its remake. Guarding the Power Star, which Bowser gave to him, he views his moustache as a sign of strength and views those who don't have one as weaklings. After his debut, King Bob-omb became a recurring boss in later games, such as Mario Party 9 and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.
