| |
| | |
| '''Admiral Bobbery''' (usually referred to as simply '''Bobbery''') is [[Mario]]'s sixth partner in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He is the final required one, as [[Ms. Mowz]] is optional. However, it is possible to recruit Ms. Mowz before Bobbery thus making him the seventh partner to join.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===Background===
| |
| Many years prior to the start of the game, Bobbery was infatuated with a [[Bob-omb]] named [[Scarlette]]. He loved her madly and proudly. Bobbery was a renowned sailor, and spent most of his time traveling around the sea. Scarlette always waited patiently for his return.
| |
| | |
| However, on an particularly icy winter, Scarlette fell ill (the case was unknown, though it quickly turned serious). She was getting extremely sick, and started to approach death. Bobbery was out to sea at this time, and by the time he returned, Scarlette was dead. Bobbery blamed himself, thinking that he could have nursed her back to health if he wasn't gone. This haunted Bobbery all the time, giving him nightmares. Not long before her death, Scarlette gave [[Podley]] an [[Old Letter]], telling him to give it to Bobbery. Podley inteded to give it to him, though when he saw Bobbery in sadness, he couldn't do it. From this time to the start of Chapter 5, the letter was kept in [[Podley's Place]]. What Bobbery did afterwards is unknown, though he eventually stayed in denial at [[Rougeport]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
| |
| After needing a navigator to get to Keelhaul Key, Mario meets up with Bobbery. After checking once with [[Professor Frankly]], Mario returns to him asking him for help. He admits he is Bobbery, though still refuses.
| |
| | |
| Advised by [[Frankly]], Mario goes to Podley's Place. After hearing about Bobbery's sad tale, Podley gives Mario the old letter and requests him to get it to Bobbery. After returning the letter, Bobbery agrees to join Mario.
| |
| | |
| 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 his counterpart, he can be thrown onto high ledges to explode. Also, Bombette's main move is a body slam, and blowing up costs FP, though it's her FP standard. But Bobbery's main move is blowing up, and his FP standard is throwing time bombs.
| |
| | |
| However, when the ship sinks and the crew ends up on [[Keelhaul Key]], Bobbery is thought to be dead. But Mario finds him near a tree, battling two [[Ember]]s. Mario defeats them and Bobbery says he's about to die. He then asks Mario to bring him some [[Chuckola Cola]] as his last request.
| |
| | |
| When Mario brings the Chuckola Cola, his partner realizes that Bobbery was just asleep rather than dead. Mario hits him with his hammer to wake him up. Bobbery then joins Mario's party. At the very end of the adventure, he's sailing the seas with [[Cortez]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Paper Mario''===
| |
| In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', 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'' titles are in a photo at [[Mario's House]]. Lastly, [[Francis]] has a plush toy of Bobbery at [[Fort Francis|his fortress]].

| ==Catch Card==
| |
| [[Image:254. Admiral Bobbery Card.JPG|frame|Bobbery's Catch Card.]]
| |
| *'''Card Type:''' Rare
| |
| *'''Card Description:''' "It's Admiral Bobbery from the last Paper Mario adventure. This salty dog knew how to blast his enemies broadside!"
| |
| *'''How to Obtain the Card:''' The Duel of 100 in Sammer's Kingdom needs to be completed in order to obtain all ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' partner cards from [[King Sammer]].
| |
| | |
| ==Tattle==
| |
| *(Rogueport) ''That's Admiral Bobbery. All the dock workers call him a legendary helmsman. I don't know if that's true, but he definitely seems like the most capable sailor here! I know he's been through a lot, but I'm glad we brought him around, aren't you?''
| |
| *(Keelhaul Key) ''That's Admiral Bobbery. He came with us on the ship, don't you remember? He washed ashore with the rest of us... but he seems hurt. You think he's doing OK?''
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| [[Image:Better_old_bobbery.PNG|frame|left|A possible early version of Bobbery.]]
| |
| *The picture to the left could be an early design of Bobbery before his sailor design was made. This "Bobbery" resembles a soldier more than a sailor, and can be found within the game's sprite resources.
| |
| *His house is the locked one next to the [[Trouble Center]].
| |
| *Out of all the partners, Bobbery has the highest HP total.
| |
| *Replenishing Bob-ombs like him (Exploding, then coming back) seem to be slightly hurt after exploding, as after Bobbery attacks, he lands sitting. If the player look fast, for a split second, his eyes are X-ed out. That means "KO'ed".
| |
| *Bobbery speaks with a stereotypical English/British accent, using British sayings like "old bean". On a somewhat related note, [[Kolorado]] has a similar accent.
| |
| *Bobbery is the only character who doesn't go to sleep during [[Luigi]]'s [[Super Luigi Series|stories]].
| |
| *Bobbery's key is the helm of a ship.
| |
| *Bobbery's house is the only house in Rogueport that has a chimney.
| |
| *If the [[player]] got Ms. Mowz to join Mario's party before Bobbery, Bobbery's sprite would be shown instead of Ms. Mowz in the party menu.
