Kick Bombs[1] are bombs in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury . They are patterned after soccer balls to indicate that they cannot be grabbed but are instead kicked forward. Kick Bombs are found only in Bowser's Highway Showdown and Bowser's Lava Lake Keep, where they are either idly resting, shot out of Cannons, or thrown by Bowser while he rides his muscle car. When shot or thrown, they roll in the direction they came from, eventually flashing red before exploding.

If a character walks or dashes into a Kick Bomb, they will kick it in the direction they were moving, and it will explode upon contact with a wall, enemy, or block. Normal Kick Bombs can also be swiped at or rolled into, making them fly faster, higher, and farther than if they were run into. These explosions are capable of breaking Rock Blocks and defeating enemies. However, a character cannot touch a Kick Bomb that is flashing red, as it explodes and hurts them.

During the two Bowser boss battles in the aforementioned levels, the Kick Bombs he tosses are the only way to defeat him without a power-up. If those Kick Bombs are swiped at or rolled into and hit Bowser, they will do triple the damage, potentially allowing for him to be defeated in three hits instead of nine.

In the Bowser's Fury campaign in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Kick Bombs only appear as part of the mission "Hurry! Hop behind the Wall!" on Risky Whisker Island. When the mission's Ground-Pound Switch is pressed, the terrain for the mission appears, which includes the cannons that shoot Kick Bombs. The cannons always appear in pairs in this game, alternating shots. Mario can use the Kick Bombs to blow through Rock Blocks on the mission's route and defeat Cat Magikoopas. When "Hurry! Hop behind the Wall!" is completed or failed, its terrain vanishes. This includes the cannons that shoot Kick Bombs. The boss Fury Bowser can shoot variants of Kick Bombs called Ink Bombs, which are able to bounce off walls without exploding and decelerate to a stop.

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park , similar objects are prominently featured in the level Lemmy's Showdown!
