3. Paper Mario: The Origami King - Bob-omb (a.ka. "Bobby")

funny dialogue and lashings of the old Nintendo charm. Travelling the
world of Paper Mario with a cheerful origami fairy called Olivia and a defused
Bob-omb called Bobby, what could go wro-
SQUISH!
OK, so Olivia's trapped under a gigantic boulder. Bobby, any ideas?
"Head to the Great Sea!"
OK, if you say so...
And now we're on a boat and...
“I lost my bestest best bud a long time ago. He got scrapped in an accident”.
Wow. Uh, OK Bobby. That... that's pretty heavy. Why don't we get back to the adventuring, 'K?
“I always kept his fuse to remember him by...”
Wait, that's what we were looking for? WHY DID YOU PUT THE FUSE ON YOUR HEAD?!
“Big M... if I can save a friend like this, it means I've finally become the sort of Bob-omb I always wanted to be”.
No. Nonononononononononononono...
“I had so much fun travelling with you and Olivia. It's been... a blast. Heh, sorry, I'm kind of nervous. Thanks for the fuse, best bud... And thank you, Mario! For everything!”
[A boulder-shattering explosion ensues]
...
The rest is silence.
