Trivia

 * In Demo 3, his boss theme was the same one currently used for Gooper Blooper, which was also used by Petey Piranha, making the theme the only theme to be used in multiple boss battles.





Lore
King Bob-omb is the king of the explosive enemies known as Bob-ombs. As opposing to his brethren, he has a fancy moustache, which only a few other Bob-ombs possess. However, unlike other of his brethren who choose to explode themselves, King Bob-omb managed to improve on the Pact of Bob-ombs' first rule: Throwing bombs at his victims. He is also capable of throwing people from high places when he seizes the opportunity.

But what he does at the moment, is when things changed for him. After getting Star of Unity in his hands, he knew this was his chance to find a way to restock his brethren to the end.
