Bob-omb Battlefield - Big Bob-omb's Revenge

This mission is unique to the DS.
The battlefield has changed slightly since we were last here. There are bricks blocking the path to the mountain, but Yoshi can easily jump over them. Bob-ombs will also periodically fall from the sky. I took a hit from a metal ball. We warp up the mountain and talk to the Big Bob-omb, who says "The king refuses to be dejected by a single defeat. I'm back with a new Star from Bowser! I've also restyled my mustache. I'm unstoppable! If you want the Power Star, you'll have to knock it out of me! But the only way to do that is to pick me up from behind and fling me down. And that will never happen! Bring it, shorty!"
As mentioned before, Yoshi can't pick anything up with his hands. On the bright side, there is a Mario cap on the mountain, so we go and get it. I fell off the mountain and took damage, but not before noticing a Goomba with the cap. We put on the cap and warp back to the top. This battle is like the Big Bob-omb battle in the N64 version. The battle has stopped (the music switches from something like "The Flight of the Bumblebee" to the Battlefield music), so Big Bob-omb repeats his speech. He picks us up and throws us twice. For this, we decide to throw him off the mountain. Soon after, he flies up and lands back on the mountain. He says "You must fight with honor! It's against the rules to throw the king out of the ring!" So throwing him off the mountain doesn't count as a hit. He must stay on the top of the mountain for it to count. He throws us again off the mountain, we take damage, and have to start over. We pick him up and throw him, but he doesn't bounce. Once he gets back up, we circle behind him and pick him up and throw him again for the second hit. He throws us twice more, but only if we fall off the mountain will we take damage. Soon after, we throw him for the third and final hit. He says "Ow! That hurt! Your sneaking skills need help, but you're pretty strong. I've always wanted a servant like you. Here is your Star, as I promised. Take it. Farewell." He explodes into the Star and we get it.

The next Star is Chip Off Whomp's Block.
