Name: Baboom

Debut: Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Baboom is my number one favorite new enemy from Wonder! In the days after the game's release, I was extra careful during what felt like the eternity before I got to play it myself (it was a week at most.) to not spoil anything for myself, and I succeeded, mostly! Yippee! And while I was playing through the beginning of the game, at least three friends all individually told me there was one enemy that they felt I would absolutely love. And they were right!

Let me tell you. I gasped when I saw it. I gasped when I saw this little waddling plastic tube. You know me! I do things like that. Its pure white eyes. Its adorable little trot. Its use of primary colors like some kind of baby's toy. But don't give it to a baby! This is explosive! You also shouldn't give any living creature to a baby! Why would you do that? You should be giving it some mashed carrots instead.

Speaking of babies though, it is Baboom who is the baby here, because it is canonically the newest of the living bombs produced by Bowser's Minions! What a little darling! It may be a little unclear what exactly it does at first, but when attacked, Baboom will begin shooting fireworks directly upward, one for each body segment! This "uses up" each segment, including the last one, but they don't actually explode themselves. Do you think they can still live after this? A "spent" Baboom, a single red segment, living a peaceful life wherever it landed? That would be nice.

I hate fireworks. Far too loud and bright. But Baboom makes it fun! It can be carried, and its fireworks used as an upward attack, defeating enemies, breaking blocks, and making coins fall! It is so enriching to shoot upwards in a Mario game. These fireworks cannot hurt the player, which seems like a big problem for a weapon made to fight Mario. An enemy that defeats enemies, and does not hurt our heroes? My word! Can this be? The classic and beloved story trope of a weapon made for evil rebelling against the circumstances of its creation? Hooray! Who says Mario games don't have complex stories? Look at the motivation I personally ascribed to this one disposable bomb. What are the other enemies thinking at any given time? There's surely a stunning story in every Snortoise!

Wonder has all these cute little animations for enemies bumping into each other, and Babooms will do a little... nod? toward one another when they meet! It's hard to tell if it is a nod given its anatomy, but whatever it is, I think it is saying "hello my friend!"

I would be remiss to talk about Baboom without mentioning Kab-omb, the ORIGINAL firework Bob-omb variant! I like Baboom more, but I hold a lot of respect for Kab-omb. A bomb just looking for a kiss, or maybe a glass of chocolate milk with a bendy straw. Is that so wrong?

WAIT WAIT WAIT IK I JUST SAID NO POST THEORIES BUT I NEED TO We all know the jackwatts raise baby foreshadowing fiasco, and for a moment I didn't believe anything could happen because they literally always kill off spouses that are in the way like this *cough cough* darcy but like Clara is dead dead (unless she has a tin we never heard about cause honestly that's possible.) ANYWAYS basically what if jackwatts raise baby dreams haven't died yet. I'm certain Jack didn't do it, cause they also always make it look like spouse-kill-spouse *cough cough* julia so basically Jack probably didn't do it and he run away because he no want to lose Samuel, he's being cautious (it completely backfired for him but whatevs) SOOOO after all that, what if Jack comes back and everyone's like "yay jack's not a murderer who saw that coming" but he said that he's the only father and is responsible for little sammy and then watts is torn between Milo and Jack *cough cough* just like darcy and julia and murdoch but he ultimately chooses Jack and they DO raise baby and then we'r e stuck with this gay butcher dude, which isn't terrible as long as watts is happy but i hope they give Jack more development.
