A Bomb Bud in-game

A Bomb Bud is an item from the game Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. It resembles a large, black fruit, but when plucked, it looks like a Bob-omb with no legs. They are used to destroy the electrical gates, and also to harm Kamek in the mission Outta the Way, Kamek! The trio can use Trio Grab to grab a Bomb Bud, but if held for too long, it explodes on them.

Bomb Buds reappear in Mario & Luigi: Brothership on Skorcheen Island. In this game, a brother can pick up and hold one by himself, and Mario and Luigi can also toss it back and forth to each other.
