Bobbery

Bobbery is Mario's sixth party member in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

When Mario is about to set sail on Flavio's ship, Flavio realises that he has no navigator. Pa-Patch suggests that Mario finds Bobbery, a legendary sailor who lives in Rogueport. However, when he finds Bobbery, he says that he does not want to sail any more. When Mario talks to Podley at the Bar, he is told that Bobbery no longer sails because he blames himself for the death of his wife Scarlette, who died while he was on one of his sea voyages. Podley gives Mario a letter from Scarlette which he tells Mario he couldn't bear to give to Bobbery. When Mario gives him the letter, he agrees to be the navigator on the SS Flavio.

However, when the ship sinks and the crew end up on Keelhaul Key, Bobbery is thought to be dead. But Mario finds him near a tree, battling two Embers. Mario defeats them and Bobbery is about to die. He asks Mario to bring him some Chuckola Cola as his last request.

When Mario brings the Chuckola Cola, his partner realises 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.

A retired Bob-omb sea captain, Admiral Bobbery assists Mario in his quest with his bomb-related attacks and abilities. He refuses to help you and Flavio get to Keelhaul Key, because he has vowed to not go out to sea again until you give him a letter from his late wife. Outside of battle, he uses the same attack as Bombette from Paper Mario, to explode and blow up cracks. Bobbery's Japanese name is Barel (Ba-Re-Ru).

Outside of battle, he possesses the same ability Bombette has in Paper Mario
