In 1996, things were changing for the video game industry. The secret to making fully 3D games had been uncovered, and every game company was jumping on the bandwagon. Nintendo released the Nintendo 64, a system that could handle the extra processing power, and with it came a full 3D Mario game called Super Mario 64. This time, Peach’s Castle itself had been taken over, its residents trapped inside paintings. In order to free them, Mario had to jump into the paintings himself, each one a portal to a brand-new world. The first of these was Bob-Omb Battlefield, a hectic warzone filled with Bob-Ombs, a mountain in the very center where the Bob-Omb’s ruler watched from on high.
This was King Bob-Omb, the magnanimous ruler of the Bob-Omb race and an ally of Bowser. Though he wouldn’t see much life outside of Super Mario 64 for some time, he often cropped up as small easter eggs or boss battles in the Mario Party games. He finally saw a resurgence in his popularity when he became playable in such games as Mario Kart Tour and Mario Golf: Super Rush.
As a playable fighter, he will play nearly identically to his Bob-Omb minions, acting as an echo fighter for them. Unlike them, however, he will be much heavier and slower, with much higher defense than his underlings. His moveset will mimic the Bob-Ombs, using cannons and explosions for most of his offensive capabilities.
Likelihood rating: Could happen
