'''Bombette''' is one of [[Mario]]'s [[partner]]s who appears in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', and the third party member encountered in the game. She is a pink [[Bob-omb]] (most likely a [[Bob-omb Buddy]]) with a ponytail-shaped fuse and a white heart-shaped turn knob with no holes. Her name is a simple combination of "bomb" and "-ette," a suffix used to denote a female subject.

Bombette first appears amongst the other friendly Bob-ombs imprisoned in a room within the [[Koopa Bros.

When Mario goes to the Koopa Bros. Fortress, Yellow Ninjakoopa traps Mario in a cell. Here, Mario meets Bombette, who was imprisoned in the fortress for exploding next to the [[Koopa Bros.]]; she helps Mario by demonstrating her field ability, walking over next to a crack in the wall and exploding to make an escape route out of the cell, and then joins Mario's party. After she helps Mario defeat the Koopa Bros., she decides to join Mario's party permanently and aid him on the quest to find the [[Star Spirit]]s. Prior to these events, Bombette had broken up with another Bob-omb named [[Bruce]]; he constantly looks for a chance to get back together with her, only to be met with constant and comical refusal each time.

—Bombette, Paper Mario

Bombette is one of Mario's partners who appears in Paper Mario, and the third party member encountered in the game. She is a pink Bob-omb (most likely a Bob-omb Buddy) with a ponytail-shaped fuse and a white heart-shaped turn knob with no holes. Her name is a simple combination of "bomb" and "-ette," a suffix used to denote a female subject.

Bombette first appears amongst the other friendly Bob-ombs imprisoned in a room within the Koopa Bros. Fortress; upon meeting her, she demonstrates an eagerness to get back at the Koopa Bros. for capturing her. She can be used to destroy cracked walls and other similar obstacles in the overworld, a role that would be carried over in the next two games of the Paper Mario series; the role is taken by Admiral Bobbery in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and the Pixl Boomer in Super Paper Mario.

Bombette and all of the other partners from Paper Mario were meant to make an appearance in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, but she and all the others (except for Lady Bow and Parakarry) were removed for unknown reasons. A sprite for Bombette, as well as the other helper characters from the first Paper Mario, has been found in the game's files. Bombette and the partners from both Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door also have unused data in Super Paper Mario.

“Mario rescued me. So I figured the least I could do was help him even the score with Bowser, King of the Koopas!”
—Bombette, Paper Mario

When Mario goes to the Koopa Bros. Fortress, Yellow Ninjakoopa traps Mario in a cell. Here, Mario meets Bombette, who was imprisoned in the fortress for exploding next to the Koopa Bros.; she helps Mario by demonstrating her field ability, walking over next to a crack in the wall and exploding to make an escape route out of the cell, and then joins Mario's party. After she helps Mario defeat the Koopa Bros., she decides to join Mario's party permanently and aid him on the quest to find the Star Spirits. Prior to these events, Bombette had broken up with another Bob-omb named Bruce; he constantly looks for a chance to get back together with her, only to be met with constant and comical refusal each time.

Cracked rock (conjectural name)
A cracked boulder for Bombette

Her field ability, in addition to destroying walls, can also be used to flip switches and attack enemies; both this and Kooper's field move are the only ways that Mario's partners can score a First Strike. In battle, Bombette can Body Slam foes or explode on them by using her Bomb attack. After upgrading, she can learn more powerful moves like Power Bomb, which hits all enemies on the ground, or Mega Bomb, which hits every enemy in battle.

When Bombette blows up a particular cracked wall in Crystal Palace, four Bombette imposters show up, whose quotes always end with stars, hearts, extra exclamation points or question marks, and extra periods. These are tells that the Bombettes are fake; the real Bombette quickly loses patience with the charade and begs Mario to hit the imposters with his hammer. After Mario exposes the fakes, the real Bombette tells him that if he'd hit her, she was going to bomb him the next time he napped. If Mario hits the real Bombette, however, she calls him terrible, and they must fight the Duplighosts.

Bombette receives three letters at the Toad Town Post Office throughout the game: one invitation letter from the Dry Dry Railroad Transportation Department, and two love letters from Bruce.

Duplighosts and Lee can transform into Bombette along with Mario's other partners, in which case her name appears as "Bombette???"

However, in the last three chapters of volume 26, a special and shorter version of the events of Paper Mario are told. At the end of the second chapter, Mario, Goombario and Kooper are captured by the Koopa Bros. and they meet Bombette in the cell. In the third chapter, Bombette presents herself to them. After she explains she is a friendly Bob-omb, Mario kicks her against a cracked wall, freeing them. Bombette then accompanies them, not having a relevant role for the rest of the chapter.
