King Bob-omb (also known as Bob-omb King, and formerly as Big Bob-omb) is the ruler of the Bob-ombs. He is part of Bowser's Koopa Troop and is the boss of Bob-omb Battlefield in Super Mario 64 & Super Mario 64 DS (despite being categorized as a Chuckya by the game code, as you have to throw him thrice for a star whereas you throw Chuckyas once for coins as bosses take three hits to defeat and drop stars, while their normal counterparts only take one hit and drop coins). He can be defeated by being thrown by Mario & co. either off of the stage or on a flat surface. His other weakness is fire, causing his fuse to combust and causing him to explode.
