'''Pa-Patch''' is a [[Bob-omb]] character that appears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He is a large purple Bob-omb with an eyepatch, and his wind-up key resembles a set of bones. Pa-Patch's name is derived from his distinctive eyepatch and the style of his species name. In the English localization, he speaks with a Cockney accent.

==History==
Pa-Patch is one of the many sailors seen frequently in [[Rogueport]]'s harbor.

In [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 5: The Key to Pirates|Chapter 5]], Pa-Patch and several other sailors, along with [[Admiral Bobbery]] and their self-described leader [[Flavio]], join [[Mario]] on his quest to [[Keelhaul Key]]. Arguments regularly break out between him and Flavio, so Pa-Patch takes a shining to Mario instead. After Mario defeats [[Cortez]] and [[Lord Crump]], Pa-Patch decides to stay on Keelhaul Key with a few other sailors. Pa-Patch only made this decision after he was sure there were no ghosts left, as even he was afraid of them.

Pa-Patch later sends an [[Mailbox SP#Pa-Patch: Oy, you!|email]] to Mario, in which he is expressing his new life on Keelhaul Key.

Much later, Mario must revisit Keelhaul Key and talk to Pa-Patch to inquire him about the whereabouts of [[General White]], having been directed to the island by a Koopa in [[Petalburg]]. Pa-Patch explains that General White has gone to an arena, so Mario must travel to [[Glitzville]] next.

<blockquote>''Oy, Mario, 'ow's yer 'stache? Life on the island feels great! When the sun rises, I wakey-wakey, and when it sets, I tuck in fer snoozer-time! Perfect fer a simple bloke like me, right?

''Every now an' then that cretin [[Flavio]] spits out some bit o' seizin' life, but I just tune 'im out.'' (GCN)<br>
''Every now an' then, that louse Flavio stops by and spits out some bit o' drivel about treadin' water instead o' seizin' life, but I just tune 'im out. ''(Switch)

''So, you off on another adventure? I think that suits you best. Give them 'ooligans what for an' save your princess!''

''From, Pa-Patch''</blockquote>

*"''That's Pa-Patch the Bob-omb. He's a real salty sailor type. Totally active guy, huh? Yeah, he looks pretty burly, too. Gotta love strong go-getters, huh?''"
;Keelhaul Key
*"''That's Pa-Patch the Bob-omb. He's a salty old sailor, and a totally solid deckhand. I heard he built all these shanties by himself, too! ...Still, he's afraid of ghosts.''"
