Bob-omb dispensers[1] are objects found only inSuper Mario Galaxy,Super Mario Galaxy 2, andSuper Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2. Bob-omb dispensers are small black square-shaped plates built in the ground. The center of each plate is a raised semicircular hatch that resembles the front of aBob-omb.
When approached byMario orLuigi, a Bob-omb dispenser immediately dispenses a Bob-omb, which, depending on whatgalaxy it is located in, may or may not begin walking (though the latter is more common). Each Bob-omb dispenser releases only one Bob-omb at a time, so it releases another Bob-omb only after the previous one has been destroyed. Bob-omb dispensers usually appear in industrial-themed galaxies between the two games, such as theBattlerock Galaxy, theDreadnought Galaxy, and theSpace Storm Galaxy. In addition, Bob-omb dispensers usually appear only directly next to, or at least very close to, cages or other obstacles that must be broken or moved for Mario or Luigi to proceed through thelevel. Bob-omb dispensers also play an integral role in theBob-omb Blasting minigame featured inSuper Mario Galaxy, where the player must destroy alltrash piles within a time limit by throwing Bob-ombs.
