*[https://wii.hacks.guide/bluebomb BlueBomb] <sup>(SM)</sup>: An exploit that takes advantage of a flaw in the Wii and Wii mini's Bluetooth libraries. Currently available in two flavors: BlueBomb Classic, where the payload has to be delivered by a Bluetooth-enabled computer that's running Linux (either installed directly or live-booted from a flash drive); and BlueBomb Micro, which instead uses a Bluetooth-equipped microcontroller board such as the Raspberry Pi Pico W (not to be confused with the basic Pico, which doesn't have Bluetooth).<br />BlueBomb is the only exploit that works for the Wii mini, and on the original Wii it can enable recovery from certain bricks, such as a banner brick. Outside of said brick recovery usefulness, however, using BlueBomb on the original Wii is generally not recommended as there are better and simpler exploits available that don't require uninterrupted radio transmissions.

:Currently available in three flavors:
:* BlueBomb Classic, where the payload has to be delivered by a compatible Bluetooth adapter from a PC that's specifically running Linux (this can either be installed to disk or temporarily livebooted from a flash drive).
:* BlueBomb Micro, which uses a Bluetooth-equipped microcontroller board such as the Raspberry Pi Pico W (not to be confused with the basic Pico, which doesn't have Bluetooth).
:* BlueMii, which transmits the exploit from ''another'' Wii/Wii mini that already has the Homebrew Channel on it (obviously only useful if you have multiple consoles to mod).
