10 Video Game Power-Ups That Got You Killed

10. Bob-Omb - Super Smash Bros. (Series)

Your objective in Super Smash Bros., is to pound your opponent until their Damage Meter reaches a critical level. By that point, you can knock them out of the arena with a well-executed attack.

One effective way to dispose of your rivals is to use the power-ups that randomly spawn throughout the battle. Every couple of seconds, a baseball bat, beamsword, or Fire Flower will appear, allowing you to scorch, batter, or slice through the other combatants.

But things take an unpredictable turn when a Bob-Omb appears. He may look cute but this little guy means business. After being hurled at your opponent, Bob will detonate with immediate effect, causing devastating damage. Even if the character's Damage Meter isn't particularly high, the sentient bomb can kill them in an instant.

But there's a problem. Bob-Omb will start walking around within a few seconds if nobody picks him up. If anyone comes into contact with him once he starts plodding about, they're done for. Because of his short fuse, you also running the risk of blowing yourself to kingdom come any time you acquire head this critter.
