"Shake the Wiimote to Spin Bomb Boos! When they hit something, they go BOOM!"
Mailtoad, Super Mario Galaxy

Bomb Boos (also called Dark Boos[citation needed] or Black Boos[citation needed]) are a variant of Boo which appears in Mario franchise, with their debut being in Super Mario Galaxy. They are explosive, charcoal-black colored Boos. This enemy is typically a fusion of a Bob-omb and a Boo, due to its traits of a Bob-omb and its species being a Boo.

Bomb Boos make their debut in Super Mario Galaxy. In this game, appear in the Ghostly Galaxy in the missions Beware of Bouldergeist and Bouldergeist Daredevil Run. They first appear inside the mansion and can be tossed at the Bowser Statues to destroy them for either items or progression. During the Bouldergeist battle, Bomb Boos only appear when Bouldergeist throws a small black stone.

They also appear when Bouldergeist loses his rock body and floats lazily around, having Bomb Boos appear from its trail. Mario/Luigi can use them to deal damage to Bouldergeist. Mario can defeat these Bomb Boos by using his Star Spin to grab the Bomb Boo by the tongue and fling it around until defeated. If held for too long, it explodes on Mario, injuring him.
