'''Big Bob-omb''' (also known as '''King Bob-omb''' in the USA (as of 2012) and PAL regions (as of 2014)) is the king of the [[Bob-omb]]s. He is mostly recognized for being the first boss fought in the game ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]. Guarding the [[Power Star]], which [[Bowser]] entrusted him with, he will not give it up without fighting the player. Big Bob-omb, like many other certain bosses, takes pride in his royal status and mustache.

===Personality===
===Personality===
As a king, Big Bob-omb tries to act in a royal way. He is very critical and acts patronizingly towards everyone who is of lower class. He, along with kings like [[Goomboss]] and [[Chief Chilly]], admire mustaches almost more than anything, which leads to the fact that he despises anyone without facial hair (this joke was not in the original game). He even seems to equate mustaches with strength, claiming that the bare-faced Yoshi has no chance against him. When he returns in ''Big Bob-omb's Revenge'', he mentions that he has restyled his mustache, as though this could assist him. Also, despite insulting Mario and Luigi for having inferior mustaches, he seems to view Wario's mustache as dignified. As he is an ally to [[Bowser]], Big Bob-omb could be considered evil, although as implied during the events of ''Mario Party Advance'', he actually leads the society of the [[Bob-omb Mafia]] to protect the [[Shroom City]], and after being defeated in ''Super Mario 64'', is not afraid to admit defeat, and very briefly gives tips on how to defeat Bowser and reselect completed missions.
