Bumbo

Bumbo is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.

Effect

 * Spawns a familiar which follows Isaac and picks up any nearby coins. Bumbo changes level based on the amount of coins it's collected.
 * [[file:Bumbo level 1.png|30px|link=]] Level 1 (0-5 coins): Bumbo just collects coins to level up.
 * [[file:Bumbo level 2.png|30px|link=]] Level 2 (6-11 coins): Bumbo occasionally drops a pickup, trinket, chest or pedestal item after a room clear.
 * [[file:Bumbo level 3.png|30px|link=]] Level 3 (12-23 coins): Bumbo now fires tears that deal 3.5 damage in the same direction Isaac does. Bumbo's tears have a chance to drop a coin if they hit an enemy.
 * [[file:Bumbo level 4.png|30px|link=]] Level 4 (24+ coins): Bumbo no longer fires tears and instead chases enemies slowly and deals contact damage (2.5 per tick, or 37.5 per second). Bumbo will occasionally drop bombs while chasing enemies or coins.


 * After reaching level 4, Bumbo will continue to collect coins, and can drop a pickup, trinket, or chest for each coin it collects, similar to . However, unlike Bum Friend, Bumbo can also drop pedestal items.

Synergies

 * : Doubles both the contact and shot damage, when applicable.

Interactions

 * : Will spawn a level 1 Bumbo regardless of the original Bumbo's current level.
 * : The bum friend will follow Bumbo instead of Isaac.
 * Not recommended, as the coins Bumbo collects could have been used to heal Keeper.
 * Due to the large influx of coins spawned, it's technically possible to sustain Bumbo while also maintaining a good level of wealth and health.
 * Not recommended for this character because Bumbo will revert back to Level 1 as you switch between each form. [Unsure if bug]

Trivia

 * Bumbo is the main character of his own game, The Legend of Bum-Bo, designed by Edmund McMillen.
 * The name is a play on the word bum and Rambo.
 * Bumbo Level 1 looks similar to Bum Friend's head.
 * According to Edmund, any version of bum that fights is a bumbo.
