“Nice to meet you BOMB! Well. Now that we've gotten to know each other, I will give you advice BOMB! As Ms. Jolene was saying, you'd better BOMB obey Mr. Grubba's conditions. If you clear the conditions and win, you get to fight higher-ranked foes BOMB! If you can't clear them, you BOMB end up battling a lower-ranked fighter BOMB! You can't climb the BOMB ranks fighting the bottom of the barrel BOMB-BOMB!”

—Master Crash, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Master Crash is a Bob-omb fighter in the Glitz Pit in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its remake on the Nintendo Switch. He fights with The Bob-omb Squad (a.k.a. The Big Bomb Boomers). Mario first meets Master Crash in the minor-league locker room, where he offers some advice to Mario as a new fighter. Similar to the Bob-ombs of Fahr Outpost, who often end their sentences with explosion onomatopoeia, Master Crash randomly exclaims "BOMB" or "BOMB-BOMB" every few words. He has a friendly disposition and is eager to help Mario succeed in rising through the ranks of the Glitz Pit, though he warns Mario to ensure he follows Grubba's win conditions.

	Tattle	That's a Bob-omb. It attacks by blowing itself up. Yeah. Reeeeeeeal smart. Max HP is 4, Attack is 2, and Defense is 1. A Bob-omb will get totally mad if you damage it. They have like, super-short fuses. When it gets mad, it'll charge and explode on its next turn. THAT attack...really hurts. Oh, and if it's mad, it'll blow up at the slightest contact. So don't attack directly! Attack it from a step away with a hammer or hit it with something hard, like a shell.
