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.
- Oy, you!
Oy, Mario, 'ow's yer 'stache? Life on the island feels great! When the sun rises, I wakey-wakey, and when it sets, I tuck in fer snoozer-time! Perfect fer a simple bloke like me, right?
Every now an' then that cretin Flavio spits out some bit o' seizin' life, but I just tune 'im out. (GCN) Every now an' then, that louse Flavio stops by and spits out some bit o' drivel about treadin' water instead o' seizin' life, but I just tune 'im out. (Switch)
So, you off on another adventure? I think that suits you best. Give them 'ooligans what for an' save your princess!
From, Pa-Patch
