Bob-omb (Paper Mario: The Origami King)
This article is about a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this article may need major rewriting. This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.
- “Aaand... that's about all I remember. You know that memory-loss thing? What's it called... Ambrosia? Amnesty? Thinky Thinky Panic?”
- —Bobby, Paper Mario: The Origami King
Bobby[1], or Bob-omb[1], is an ally to Mario in Paper Mario: The Origami King. At one point in the game, he meets Mario and Olivia in a carriage, looking up to the former like an older brother. It is here where he also explains that he is amnesiac.
In battle, Bobby can use Bomb Bump, a move where he rams into enemies to deal damage, in a similar fashion to Bombette in Paper Mario. Unlike most other Bob-ombs in the series, Bobby does not have a visible fuse.
Trivia
- Bobby is the only Bob-omb so far to been amputed of a fuse, preventing him to explode.
- In the website's description, Bobby is the only one to have seen Luigi, who has apparently been missing. However, due to his amnesia, Bobby doesn't remember where.
- Bobby is the only Bob-omb partner in the series to do not have a unique design (except for his lack of fuse).
- Bombette is a female pink Bob-omb, being the only Bob-omb with this design in the series.
- Admiral Bobbery from the second game is a brown Bob-omb with a big white mustache and have a helm of a ship for his wind-up key, being the only one to do so.
- Bobby refers his amnesia as "Thinky Thinky Panic", which itself is a pun to Doki Doki Panic, which is known in USA as Super Mario Bros. 2
- His presentation dialogue is a easter egg to Square's (now Square Enix) video game Final Fantasy VII, where the character Barret introduces itself:
- Bobby: "Me? Well I'm Bob-omb"
- Barret: "Me? Well I'm Barret"
