Admiral Bobbery



Admiral Bobbery is Mario's sixth party member in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

A retired Bob-omb sea captain, Admiral Bobbery assists Mario in his quest with his bomb-related attacks and abilities. He refuses to help you and Flavio get to Keelhaul Key, because he has vowed to not go out to sea again because his wife Scarlette died away while he was out at sea. Outside of battle, he uses the same attack as Bombette from Paper Mario, to explode and blow up cracks.

When Mario is about to set sail on Flavio's ship, Flavio realizes that he has no navigator. Pa-Patch suggests that Mario finds Bobbery, the legendary sailor who lives in Rogueport. However, when he finds Bobbery, he says that he does not want to sail any more. Mario needs to talk to Podley, who tells Mario that Bobbery has not set sail since the death of his wife, who died while he was away on one of his sea voyages. Bobbery has blamed himself for the tragedy. Podley gives Mario a letter from Scarlette which he tells Mario he couldn't bear to give to Bobbery. When Mario gives Bobbery the letter, he agrees to be the navigator on the SS Flavio.

However, when the ship sinks and the crew end up on Keelhaul Key, Bobbery is thought to be dead. But Mario finds him near a tree, battling two Embers. Mario defeats them and Bobbery says he's about to die. He then asks Mario to bring him some Chuckola Cola as his last request.

When Mario brings the Chuckola Cola, his partner realizes that Bobbery was just asleep rather than dead. Mario hits him with his hammer to wake him up. Bobbery then joins Mario's party. At the very end of the adventure, he's sailing the seas with Cortez.
