Bob-omb, commonly referred to as Bobby, is a character in the 2020 video game Paper Mario: The Origami King. He is a partner of the protagonist, Mario, who also accompanies an origami girl named Olivia. He was the first character decided by Nintendo to be included in the game. He is a member of the Bob-omb species, an explosive enemy in the Mario series. He has amnesia, and is missing his fuse, trying to figure out who he is.
After recovering his memory and the fuse of his dead Bob-omb friend, he ends up sacrificing his life to allow Mario and Olivia to continue their journey. His arc, particularly his sacrifice, received positive reception.
