'''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 [[Bobbery|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 makes this decision after he is sure there are no ghosts left, as even he is afraid of them.

Pa-Patch later sends an [[Mailbox SP#Pa-Patch: Oy, you!|email]] to Mario, in which he expresses his enjoyment of 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.

During the final battle with the [[Shadow Queen]], Pa-Patch alongside other Keelhaul Key residents cheer on Mario.
