Game Theory: How DEADLY Is Super Mario's Bob-Omb?

never created and detonated back in 1961. Its measurements: 8 meters long and only 2 meters wide. He is actually smaller than King Bob-omb in this

game

. That said, the fission of one atom will actually create a much larger boom. So, although the King wins in size, the Tsar wins in explosiveness. Still, King Bob-omb's detonation in Mario Party 9 will be no joke and will absolutely DARK everyone across the board. With such a size it would contain 27,562 kilograms of gunpowder. That's 61,000 pounds of gunpowder. That's 82,686.92 megajoules of energy 19,762 kilos of TNT. And what that means is that any building within the size of a football field would be destroyed.

Anyone less than 200 feet away or more than twice the distance from first base would be demolished. If you were on top of the Statue of Liberty and this bomb exploded at the base, your lungs would rupture and your eardrums would burst. To avoid feeling the effects of the explosion, Mario and the gang would have to run 14,758 feet away. That's two-thirds the length of the Las Vegas Strip and three-quarters the height of Mount Kilimanjaro. It's approximately the length of Daytona Speedway. Forget about being the life of the party! Being the death of him seems to work out well for King Bob-omb.

So what does all this mean for Mario? Well, unlike Bullet Bills, which were much less dangerous than the damage they caused in the

game

s, Bob-Ombs are really scary. The explosions we encounter in the game are nothing compared to the amount of damage they would actually cause! To make matters worse, I haven't even mentioned the fact that each of these bombs would produce a large amount of shrapnel. Small fragments of debris that are ejected as a result of the explosion. I ran the numbers through Gurney's equations to measure the speed of some of these fragments and let me tell you, they would travel at more than twice the speed of the world's fastest bullet, except here they are shooting in all different directions.

Simply put, Bob-Ombs are by far the deadliest item. in Bowser's Arsenal. You better work a little harder on that throwing arm if you want to survive, Mario. But hey! That's just a
