Big Bob-omb on the Summit is the first mission of Bob-omb Battlefield. As it is the first mission of the first stage players can (easily) access, it is considered the first star of the game overall.

To acquire the Star, Mario must traverse across the winding path of Bob-omb Battlefield and ascend the spiraling path around the mountain to reach the summit. There, the player must approach King Bob-omb and challenge him to battle, before defeating him by grabbing him from behind and throwing him to the summit's ground three times.

Mission Differences

As in Footrace with Koopa the Quick, the cannons are not active for this mission. Also, there are only two Bowling Balls in the chasm, instead of three like in all later missions.
