Further advice from Professor Frankly sends Mario to [[Podley's Place]]. After hearing Admiral Bobbery's depressing tale, Mario receives the Old Letter from Podley, who requests that Mario give it to Bobbery. Upon reading the letter, which contains Scarlette's encouragement for him to embrace his other love of the sea, Admiral Bobbery agrees to join Mario. | Further advice from Professor Frankly sends Mario to [[Podley's Place]].

[[Goombella]] can use [[Tattle]] on Admiral Bobbery after Mario stumbles into Bobbery's house in [[Rogueport]], at Rogueport harbor before taking off to [[Keelhaul Key]] aboard the [[S.S. Flavion]], and again in Keelhaul Key before Bobbery joins Mario's party. | |||
However, the ship is attacked by [[Ember]]s during the voyage and sinks; when the survivors wash up on the shores of Keelhaul Key, Bobbery is declared missing along with [[Lord Crump|Four-Eyes]] and the [[Toad sailor]]. The three are found soon after by Mario during an island exploration, once again being attacked by the pirate ghosts - the admiral makes a heroic sacrifice by distracting the ghosts and allowing the others to escape back to camp. | However, the ship is attacked by [[Ember]]s during the voyage and sinks; when the survivors wash up on the shores of Keelhaul Key, Bobbery is declared missing along with [[Lord Crump|Four-Eyes]] and the [[Toad sailor]].

A retired [[Bob-omb]] sea captain, Admiral Bobbery assists Mario in his quest with his bomb-related attacks and abilities. Out of all the partners in the game, he has the highest [[Heart Point|HP]] total (with 20 in Initial Rank, 30 in Super Rank, and 40 in Ultra Rank), has the highest attack power, and is the only one who can give himself the [[Payback]] status effect. Despite Bob-omb enemies having defense, Bobbery does not have default defense, unlike [[Koops]]. In battle, Bobbery is also useful for clearing fog by using his Bomb move or by using [[Appeal]]. Outside of battle, he uses the same ability as [[Bombette]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'' to explode and blow up cracks.

He also proves useful when Mario and co. visit [[Fahr Outpost]] in search of the cannon that can shoot them to the moon, as he helps to improve relations between Mario and the resident Bob-ombs and explains their situation to the mayor. It is during this sequence that Bobbery reveals he once visited the outpost before, though the details of the trip are never given. Despite these hints being given, in the prologue of Chapter 7 when Professor Frankly mentions the only way to reach the [[Moon]] is by using the cannon in Fahr Outpost, Bobbery says, ''"This Fahr Outpost already sounds like it will be a bother to reach,"'' claiming he knows no bounds of its area. | He also proves useful when Mario and co. visit [[Fahr Outpost]] in search of the cannon that can shoot them to the moon, as he helps to improve relations between Mario and the resident Bob-ombs and explains their situation to the mayor.
