'''Admiral Bobbery''' | |||
'''Admiral Bobbery''' (usually just referred to as '''Bobbery''') is a [[Bob-omb]] who is [[Mario]]'s sixth partner in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. His wife [[List of Implied Characters#Scarlette|Scarlette]], a female Bob-omb, died of a mysterious illness prior to the events of the game. | |||

He loved her madly and proudly, only matched by his love of the sea. A renowned sailor, Admiral Bobbery spent most of his time traveling on the oceans, and Scarlette would patiently await his return. | ||
One particularly icy winter, Scarlette fell ill while Bobbery was out at sea. Her condition rapidly deteriorated, and by the time Bobbery returned, she was dead. Aghast and deeply saddened, Bobbery blamed himself for Scarlette's death, thinking that he could have nursed her back to health had he been there.

Her condition rapidly deteriorated, and by the time Bobbery returned, she was dead. Aghast and deeply saddened, Admiral Bobbery blamed himself for Scarlette's death, thinking that he could have nursed her back to health had he been there. Tormented by nightmares of Scarlette, Bobbery eventually vowed to never sail again out of guilt for his perceived failure to his beloved. | ||

Podley agreed to her last request, but found himself unable to do it when he saw how depressed Bobbery was. Nonetheless, he tried to help his old friend however he could. When introduced in [[Paper_Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 5: The Key to Pirate|Chapter 5]], Admiral Bobbery appears to have settled down in [[Rogueport]], drowning his grief in the bar. | ||
His original design was that of a soldier rather than a sailor. | |||

Bobbery | Needing a navigator to get to [[Keelhaul Key]], Mario meets up with Admiral Bobbery, who denies his identity. After checking with [[Professor Frankly]], Mario returns to renew his request to the old sailor; he admits that he is Admiral Bobbery, but still refuses to help. | ||

Further advice from Professor Frankly sends Mario to [[Podley's Place]].

After exchanging a [[Coconut]] with Flavio for the drink and returning it to Bobbery, he consumes it and presumably passes on. However, it is quickly made apparent that the admiral is only asleep rather than dead - after a 'wake-up whack' from Mario's hammer, Bobbery joins the plumber's team as his next party member. | ||
A retired [[Bob-omb]] sea captain, Admiral Bobbery assists Mario in his quest with his bomb-related attacks and abilities. Outside of battle, he uses the same attack as [[Bombette]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'' to explode and blow up cracks. However, unlike Admiral Bobbery's counterpart, he can be thrown onto high ledges to explode. Also, her main move is a [[Body Slam (Paper Mario)|Body Slam]] and blowing up costs [[Flower Point|FP]], though it's her FP standard but Bobbery's main move is blowing up and his FP standard is throwing time bombs. | |||

The admiral 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. | |||

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Admiral Bobbery appears as a [[Catch Card]] won by winning the [[Duel of 100]] in the [[Sammer's Kingdom]]. He also makes a very brief appearance during the introduction where he, along with all the other partners from the previous ''Paper Mario'' installments are in a photo at [[Mario's House]]. Lastly, [[Francis]] has a plush toy of Admiral Bobbery at [[Fort Francis|his fortress]]. | |||
