Bowling Bomb

Bowling Bomb is an Item Box power-up that appears in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. When obtained, this power-up grants the player bombs to use against opponents.

Description
The Item Boxes with Bowling Bomb are indicated by the icon of a stereotypical blue round bomb with an ignited fuse.

Overview
In gameplay, the Bowling Bomb behaves differently depending on the platform. On the console/PC version of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, when using the Bowling Bomb, the playable character deploys a round bomb that will roll down the track and cause an explosion when touching an opposing racer. In the Nintendo DS version of the game on the other hand, the Bowling Bombs are thrown and will create a large explosion upon impacting the ground. In either case, when an opposing racer is hit by the Bowling Bomb, they will take damage and slow down for a while. It can also destroy obstacles and minor enemies.

The player can obtain Bowling Bomb at random by touching one of the Item Boxes that lie scattered across the racing courses. When getting the Bowling Bomb, there is a chance that the player might get only one of them or a set of three. In the latter case, the player can either deploy the Bowling Bombs one by one or launch them all at once.
