User:DoodleHD/Bob-omb Village/DoodleHD Interpretation

Bob-Omb Village is supposedly a removed area from the retail release of Super Mario 64. Very little is currently documented with proof, with almost no photo/video documentary of the course. It most commonly appears as a sub-area of Bob-omb Battlefield, usually accessed via a hidden warp, of which must be accessed through the cannon at the beginning of the stage, after completing the first mission. However, it functions as its own course; unique stars, etc.

Missions
While most copies, including the course, will not show a mission select screen, the screen will occasionally appear and function as any other course would. Mission names appear to change from copy to copy, however, the objective stays the same. The course's stars include:


 * 1) TO THE TOP OF THE TOWN / TOWN SQUARE'S SECRET
 * 2) IN THE LITTLE FOREST / THE FOREST'S FRONTIERS
 * 3) BLAST TO THE SKIES / SOAR TO THE FLOATING RAINBOW
 * 4) UNCOVER THE 8 RED COINS / THE VILLAGE PLUNDER FOR 8 RED COINS
 * 5) THE TOWN'S STAR STORE / SHOPPING IN TOWN SQUARE
 * 6) THE STATUE'S SECRET

To The Top of The Town
In this Mission, Mario must reach the top of a small tower located by the center of the village, climbed via multiple small floating platforms, only accessible by triple jumping on a neighboring house. The star awaits at the top.

In The Little Forest
Mario must find the star in the forest off to the side of the town. During the mission, several Goombas, Boos, and Scuttlebugs spawn in the forest. Before the star is collected, the forest has a faint fog.

Blast to the Skies
Using a Wing Cap, Mario must fly to a floating rainbow in the sky, which holds the star at it's top. A canon must be used. At the two ends of the rainbow, there are clouds, with Bob-Ombs directing Mario to the top.

Uncover the 8 Red Coins
Standard red coin mission. Red coins found in village and forest.

Shopping in Town Square
One of the stores houses a star, which requires 50 yellow coins to purchase. The game seems to go by yellow Coins collected, not coin counter.

The Statue's Secret
When the mission begins, a text box appears, telling the player to find the switch hidden somewhere in the course. The location seems random, however, usually in the forest. When the switch is pressed, a star cutscene shows the star appearing above the Bob-Omb statue.

Geography
The player begins in a village, in front of a Bob-Omb giant statue, wearing a crown and holding a staff, usually referred to as the Lord Bob-Omb. Paths lead through the village, with several houses the player can enter, home to Bob-Ombs and Bob-omb Buddies, both being friendly to the player, often giving hints to the player on where the star is located.

A store can be found by the statue, home to Star 5, the store is closed for construction on the other stars. Slightly off the village is a forest, containing custom 3d trees, a cabin, and coins. Interestingly, a Star Marker is here, but no star can be spawned there.

Surrounding the village is a field of grass, home to several Goombas and Scuttlebugs. At the far end of the field, There is a chain chomp. Ground pounding its pole opens the canon and wing cap used in star 4 and a red coin.

The course is unfinished; several village Bob-ombs aren't set to be friendly, despite a sign by the statue claiming that every Bob-omb in the village lives in peace. Some textures appear to be missing, with a solid color as placeholders. Some bob-omb text is outdated, seemingly hinting at removed stars.

White-Eyed Chomp
The Chain Chomp in the course often takes the form of the White-Eyed Chomp. However, this seems to be just graphical, as none of the phenomena around the WEC happens if only this course's WEC is encountered.

Texture-less Bob-ombs
On occasion, Bob-ombs will appear without the textures, becoming only the fuse and feet. Interacting with them crashes the game. Texture-less Bob-ombs seems to point to further anomalies, such as more removed courses becoming accessible, etc.

Trivia

 * Bob-omb Village is usually shortened to BBV.
 * BBV is the earliest removed course one can access, only requiring one to beat King Bob-omb.
 * BBV is one of the only removed courses with every star available, besides the cabin's star marker.
