'''Bob-ombs'''<!--or '''Bombombs'''--> are enemies in SM64. When they see Mario, their fuse lights and they start chasing him. After their fuse ends, they explode, creating an explosion object.

This trick is used frequently in the [[A Button Challenge]], but also generally for clipping through walls, such as in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28PT7HZWaHI the Chain Chomp's Gate clip.]

==Interaction with walls==
The game first adds the speed to the current position and uses that point in the collision calculations. The algorithm will push the bob-omb outward from the wall if a collision occurs, so if it's already against the wall it effectively adds the component of the bob-omb's speed that's tangent to the wall. Regardless of whether a collision occurs or not, the Bob-omb's position is incremented by its speed at a later point as well. Finally, since the point used for the collision calculation is only written to the Bob-omb's position if a collision occurs, the double speed increment doesn't happen in the open field. This occurs before the Bob-omb's actual movement step, so then it moves a 2nd time before the frame ends. Thus, when Bob-ombs touch a wall, their speed is effectively doubled.
Basically, Bob-ombs always check for wall collision before moving. If they do collide with a wall hitbox, then the Bob-omb's position is incremented and pushed away by the wall.
==Supersaturated Bob-omb==
A supersaturated Bob-omb is a Bob-omb whose fuse timer has overflowed, which vastly delays its explosion. Because the underlying glitch takes 828 days (2.3 years) to execute, it is the most time-consuming glitch in the game.
