Pa-Patch, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

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 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 e-mail 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.
