Jerry

“Sorry I sound so down, but you would be too if you saw Luigi dressed as a bride.”

—Jerry, Paper Mario 2

Jerry is a Bob-omb that resembles a cherry in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He's red and his fuse looks like a cherry stem.

Jerry is the second partner that joins Luigi on his adventure to rescue Princess Éclair. Luigi and Jerry travel to Plumpbelly Village, where Luigi dresses up as a bride so that he can be offered to a two-headed snake as a sacrifice. They defeat the snake, and Jerry accompanies Luigi to make sure no one has to witness the horror of seeing Luigi in a dress ever again.

Quotes

• Goombella: That's Jerry, Luigi's Bob-omb buddy. He's a little different from most Bob-ombs. He's really burning with a righteous fire, and I think he's seen some...horrible...things. Speaking of which, I wonder if I'll ever be a bride... Hee hee hee hee hee!

• Jerry: Hi, I guess. I'm Jerry. I'm a Bob-omb from Plumpbelly Village. Nice to meet you. Sorry I sound so down, but you would be too if you saw Luigi dressed as a bride. I'm serious. It scarred me. It was honestly scarier than that giant snake-thing. I feel I now have a moral duty to stop Luigi from ever dressing as a bride again. I have to protect the world from my fate. That's why I'm sticking close to this guy.

Trivia

• Jerry's name is a homonym of the word "cherry", a small fruit which he, as stated above, greatly resembles. His name also comes from "cherry bomb," a type of firework.
