- “I am General White. I am a Bob-omb! And I have lost my hopes and dreams. My heart has grown cold... I must apologize, but I ask that you leave me alone.”
- —General White, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
General White is a retired Bob-omb general that helped create Big Bob, which can launch people to The Moon, at Fahr Outpost in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. For most of the game, General White remains at Petalburg where he sulks about losing his life's work. Mario and his party must find him and get him to fire the cannon. He is elusive and sends Mario and friends on a long chase across the map looking for him, ending in his house in Fahr Outpost where Mario must repeatedly jump on him to wake him up from his deep sleep.
The first time is when Mario must get the cannon back online. The order of characters Mario must talk to while searching are as follows:
- Either Kroop or the Koopa Troopa in front of the inn at Petalburg.
- Pa-Patch in Keelhaul Key.
- Podler in Glitzville.
- The Puni at the entrance of the Great Tree.
- The Twilighter in front of the inn at Twilight Town (Mayor Dour or the Twilighter near the Twilight Shop in the Nintendo Switch remake).
During this search, General White leaves a message on the Graffiti Corner of the Rogueport message board, requesting information about Mario's location.
The second (optional) time is when Goldbob sends Mario and friends to deliver a package to him for his trouble. The order of characters Mario must talk to while searching are as follows:
- A Bob-omb in General White's house at Fahr Outpost.
- Podley in Rogueport.
- Podler in Glitzville.
- Goldbob in Poshley Heights.
General White also appears in volume 34 of Super Mario-kun. Like in the game, he has to be woken up, but he never seems to have left Fahr Outpost and does not need to be searched for. While he does activate Big Bob, Bowser ends up destroying it before it can launch Mario, Goombella, and Koops to the moon.
Tattle information[edit]
- "That's General White, the Bob-omb. I guess white Bob-ombs are pretty rare. He has a cool mustache, too. He might even give your lip fuzz a run for its money!"
