Bombette

"I have a little score to settle with those Koopa Bros.!"

- Bombette



Bombette is Mario's third party member in Paper Mario.

When Mario goes to Koopa Bros. Fortress, Y. Ninjakoopa traps Mario in a cell. Here, Mario meets Bombette, a Bob-omb Buddy who was trapped in the fortress for exploding next to the Koopa Bros. Bombette helps Mario by exploding to make an escape route out of the cell. She then joins Mario's party. By pressing C-Down, her fuse will be lit and she will then walk a few steps and explode, allowing Mario to destroy walls, flip switches and attack enemies.

In Super Paper Mario, Bombette appears as a Catch Card found on the fortieth floor of the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials.

Trivia

 * Bombette's name most likely derives from a combination of bomb, referring to her kin's appearance and nature, and -ette, a semi-common suffix in female names, especially in languages such as French. However, it may also be a reference to the Noko Bombette, a Buzzy Beetle-like enemy from Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins which would explode when jumped on.
 * In Wario: Master of Disguise, Count Cannoli says "Bombette" when he drops bombs in battle.
