Bob-omb Battlefield (beta)

***Bob-omb Battlefield (beta)*** is an area in **B3313**.

## Description

The area is barely changed from the vanilla version of the course, with the exception of some textures being different, the gate blocking the Chain Chomp's star missing and the spike at the top of the mountain, accompanied by a pipe. There are only a few enemies walking around.

Version 0.9 sees several new additions to the level that make it more dangerous than before. The bubble cannons are now active, relentlessly pursuing Mario and making it quite risky to navigate around. However, these bubble cannons are not active at night, making the level slightly easier when done at that time. Additionally, mines have now been placed everywhere which detonate when touched, so caution must be taken when roaming the location. The Chain Chomp's gate has been re-added to the level necessitating the removal of the Chain Chomp's peg in order to access it. There is additionally a hole at the bottom of said gate that leads to the Chomp Caverns.

## Origins

The area is mainly inspired by the "pre-E3" 1996 beta of Super Mario 64, where the spike at the top of the mountain and other objects are taken from, however, the layout mostly matches up with the vanilla Bob-omb Battlefield.

The music is the "Main Theme" track from the same game's OST. When played at night, the music is a music box rendition of that same track.

## Stars

This area has 4 stars to collect:

* There's a star behind the Chain Chomp's gate, with the peg needing to be removed in 0.9.
* There's an item box on the island in the sky, the easiest way to reach it being to shoot to the island in the sky.
* The player can scale the mountain, where once the Big Bob-omb was, to get rewarded with another star.
* There's a star on top of the watchtower in V0.9, but it cannot be collected, even if you grab it This was patched in the Unabandoned V1.0

## Trivia

* This area is part of a direct time loop, which consists of different iterations of Bob-omb Battlefield over time.
* The "Floating Island Item Box" star in **Bob-omb Battlefield (beta)** shares the same star ID as the "Top of the Mountain" star in Ice-Cold Warzone. Therefore, collecting the star from one of them is the same as collecting the star from the other and thus you will not get a duplicate star.
* Although you can grab the star on top of the watchtower, collecting it star does not mark it as collected or increase the star count.
