Even after all the wonderful story's from the first Games, his death broke me. His Story, Mario trying to save him, Olivia running away into the Mines, Bobby's Soul, Mario making Olivia happy with the Mask and then him looking at the Boulder remains... o shit and then that music. Aw no man I cried so much.
You know what makes this scene work so well? Not only was Bobby a truly likeable and entertaining character that tagged along for a good chunk of the first part of the game, but also Olivia's reaction. Up to this point she's been portrayed as being naïve about the world, often joking around a bit. But here, she's very much serious. The moment she saw the boulder was gone and the crater Bobby made, she put two and two together and realized what happened. But she didn't try brushing it off, she did what anyone would do: run and cry out of guilt for what happened. No doubt she felt some sort of guilt after realizing he'd done it to save her from being crushed. I also must give Nintendo and Intelligent Systems major props for not pulling a fake-out. They could have made it so Bobby somehow survived and he reappears from beneath the rubble, but instead they actually killed him off for good, but made his last message to Mario pretty heartwarming. Overall, this is how you do a sacrifice scene.
Something that also made the scene for me was Mario's reaction. You barely ever see Mario emote do much, especially in response to a Bob-Omb exploding, so when he rushes with a panicked expression to stop Bobby, you can tell that they had a real connection before his death.
Also the fact that Olivia basically ended her own life to wish for the cranes to be free, along with her brother, proves that she basically copied what Bobby did, take her own life for someone else.
I think what's fitting to Bobby's character is if you go back and take photos with him you see him in the photos as a ghost. This means that Bobby was really unable to leave Mario's side and continued to be with him throughout the adventure as an unseen spirit. He started this adventure and he wanted to see it through to the end even if he no longer has a physical body to do so. That's dedication.
@@superaaron2603 Then it holds true. He never left. He just was invisible and no longer had physical form. What I don't get though is what sets Bobby apart from Bombette and Bobbery. Those 2 can seem to explode but it just knocks them away. But when Bobby did it he becomes a ghost.
@@warioland523 No I mean he never say that but it would be better if he said that just to make it better so he let both Mario and Olivia know that wherever he is, he will always be on their side no matter what. He never said that like I said. Like I said, I mean it would have better if he said that as his last word before he disappears.
“Olivia getting crushed, Bobby’s amnesia, and now his sacrifice. All of it leads back to Olly, the Origami King. Before, it was just another big bad. Now, it’s personal. I’m gonna find Olivia, and we’re gonna kick out that little punks creases.”
Me if I ever get the game at the final hit: *Dedicates every punch to a flat boi* *Pauses* "And this. This is for my friend. My sidekick. The one who died saving Olivia. The reason I stand here." "This is for Bobby." *Unpauses and MURDERS the evil king.*
In a Paper Mario game... this was the first time I ever yelled, "NOOO BOBBY!!" Seriously... after blowing up Admiral Bobbery so many times in Thousand Year Door, there was a moment I wanted Bobby's death to be fake...
_"He's okay... I've had Bob-Omb allies before, he'll just fall from the sky like they always do... Where is he? ... Dammit, I can't see through all of this rain!!"_
I actually had to set down my Switch for a few seconds after this scene. Like, I legitimately couldn’t believe it. They just did this, Paper freaking Mario did this...
Despite the fact that I teared up when Bobby died, I also was very happy to see emotion return to Paper Mario. My favorite Paper Mario game is Super Paper Mario (I know, it’s controversial) and after playing it, I immediately wanted more enthralling story. When Sticker Star came around, I was devastated by how bland its story was.
The best Paper Mario in 13 years, and that’s saying something, even though Color Splash was good. This game is probably as close to the originals as we will ever get, and it actually feels close to being on par with them.
I was honestly shocked that they did this in a bloody modern Paper Mario game. What makes it work is that we spent such a long time with Bobby for the first part of the game, and he was a legit good character, so him dying truly felt like a loss. A big one. And afterwards...damn...not only is Olivia's reaction realistic, but Mario...fucking..._MARIO_... shows emotion. That, and...god damn, the music. Sad music always gets me! Just damn. This is legit one of the best and saddest scenes in all the video games I've played.
Fountain of Fire shame he didn’t do much in battle. He at least goes down in history as a kind and friendly normal bob-omb whom we’ve known for a long time
Honestly ive seen a little to many edits where Charles lives so it doesn't hit me as hard but I've only seen Bobby's death twice so it just stabs me in the feels
This death hit me! He was my favorutie character up to this point, in like most games I've ever played. Seeing him as a ghost made me so happy, I love him. May he be in the forever after with his buddy Bob-omb
Holy shit this scene. I had to see it again. This is legitimately great story telling and even better than the entire first Paper Mario. Im truly impressed of the writing and the atmosphere the designers and musicians have created here. God damn seeing a heartbroken character in a Mario Game...
Me too, I really had to see this one more time... This is such an important moment... I won't say what everybody already say in all the comment, I was basically as affected as everybody... But in fact I cried way more after he exploded, the fact that mario turn back when Olivia ask where he is... when he talk to us again inside all the rocks and basically after I turned off the Swich, I searched all the music that played and that's basically here that it hurted the most, the ambiance of the music, that's exactly it... One thing I was happy to realized, is that I was playing in my bed, and I have a lot of plushies, and yup, I have a bob-omb one! When I looked at it... This wasn't exactly Bobby... But I really roconized him through my plush! I even tried to put him in the sleeping position that he is in the battles ^^ He had forgotten his memories with his friends... And he got some other with mario and Olivia... But one thing that he didn't knew... Was that everything he did for mario and Olivia was also viewed by millions of player who follow the game as a story. He created huge memories for millions of people... I don't think I have anything more to say... We are all really sad, we saw all the same thing and experienced it in our own way... BUT there is one thing that nobody will ever forget... Bobby's journey with us.
Also, one thing (different from the comment I posted above) I especially love the non-traditional mario games. I mean not the mario bros games, you know where basically bowser take the princess without any connection between anybody. The series such as paper mario, and the mario & luigi games are what I love in term of games... Because there is a story, exchange, conversation with a bunch of people and touching moments... In those games, bowser isn't the villain, they created new character with their own motivation and personality... But one thing I love is that we know more about the mario universe. What I mean is that... We know a lot more of what all the bowser's sbires do for example! They have a secret café to be in after a long work day, a shy guy was delivering a pizza ect... We know more and more about the mario universe! I can't really explain that very well, but I just found that amazing, amazing...
@@markus8086 aw that's so cute! I think that's the best way to remember and honor him, even to this day I listen very often the music of this paper mario, and remember a lot of good moments. Such a great game for me and many others!
What makes his death even sadder was when he tells Mario how that gooper blooper attacked the Princess Peach and how he lost his fuse and memories and when Mario and Olivia come along and he joins with us, he was so sweet and kind. Then he gets his memory back and then decides to see the princess peach one last time and wanted Mario to defeat that gooper before sacrificing himself. Then he tells us about his best bested friend who died in an accident and has their fuse as a memory. Then Bobby uses said fuse to rescue Olivia and returns to Mario as a ghost to tell him to cheer up Olivia. Then it’s implied that Bobby is still with us except he’s an invisible ghost
The funny thing is, the Super Mario Manga Mania adaptation of this game changed the scene. From the Super Mario Wiki: _The biggest difference in Bob-omb's adaptation in the manga is when he and Mario try to free Olivia from the boulder: after Olivia gets stuck under it, Bobby's recalls his past, explaining he may have something useful back on the Princess Peach cruise ship, but Mario tells him he retrieved (off-screen) the box with the fuse from the ship after defeating the Paper Macho Gooper Blooper. Mario offers himself to use the fuse in some way to free Olivia, but Bob-omb does not let him, grabs the fuse, and runs towards the boulder and yells at it with all his might, breaking it. However, he is forced to leave the party since, by screaming that much, he needs to go to the hospital to have his throat checked._ That's right people, they ACTUALLY changed what is considered by many the most heartbreaking scene in any Paper Mario game to date. They SPARED our boy.
Something that hit me hard watching this scene was that, prior to this game, I didn't think Bob-Ombs actually died when they blew up. Whether it be because I was young, or because I saw the other Bob-Omb partners in the previous game blow up as attacks and be alright, I thought they'd be alright.

And seeing Bobby here sacrifice himself along with his memories of his friend being there, just made things even sadder than they already were. Needless to say, Bobby's sacrifice was a true tearjerker and I'll never forget what he did. To Bobby. 💣
I just beat this game the night before last night. Rewatching this scene made a tear come to my eye, and the moment where Olivia gets happy again made it all come out. The ending to this game just makes those sorts of scenes with Olivia hit so different. I know it sounds cheesy and weak, but... thank you Bobby and Olivia. You made this game a great ride during tough times in my life, and I miss both of you incredibly (even if the ending just goes back to before the final boss, something about knowing what canonically happens makes me feel awful). I'll never forget you two.
Paper mario games can never be sad Origami king: hold my beer *Bobby takes one for the team with the mega kaboom* Everyone who going to play the game: *insert every sad mario music*
Doing my first play through and holy crap I was not expecting to feel this way. My Mario sat there after the blast for a good 3-5 mins as I too sat there just blowen away by what I had just seen
I was genuinely hoping he would jump out again all like 'baba babooey, forget about it ayaya!' But no. I loved Bobby. He was truly the best, you dont know how many screenshots I have of him saved on my switch. Now hes gone...
i saw this mentioned in another comment section but as Bobby’s memories play, the music is a pitched up version of the OST ‘memory’ from Super Paper Mario. You’ll never unhear it
@@gearhead2519 Dont worry, everyone moves on their own time Charles is from Henry stickmin, he's like one of those chill and funny people The game is pretty fun, it's like a choose your own adventure kind of thing
I don't want to read to much into the comments to spoil the game for myself. I just got done with this part but when Bob-omb suggested he had an idea of how to help Olivia I kinda knew what he was planning to do. I was just thinking "No bro, don't tell me you are planning to blow yourself up, because basically you are a bomb" I was thinking man Bob-omb is going to betray me or do something drastic. When I got to his sacrifice part and the message he told Mario I shed a tear lol so sad 😢 I had not even noticed he didn't have a fuse till then.
In the manga adaptation of origami king bobby doesn’t blow up and die, he breaks the rock by screaming at it and then leaves to go to the hospital to have his throat checked. Not even joking, you can look up Super Mario Kun.
Bob-bombs seem to have 2 explosions. A standard explosion they survive (like Bombette and Bobbery in the Paper Mario series) where they unleash a burst of energy in a blast (sort of like the Pokemon move Self-Destruct), and much larger explosions where they actually blow up and die.
The first time I played this I was crying because for the first time ever, a character that was good died (I've never played FF7 ok) and that really hit me
2020 can't get any wor- Origami King and The Henry Stickmin Collection: **releases** Ok nic- The best character in each game: **dies** ... end 2020 already!
Puffballs: *Haha Mission go Complete* Nintendo: *One of Mario's funniest adventure is about to unfold. By the way, I'm gonna remember you everytime that your best friend isn't with you anymore, so have fun!!!*
I can't believe that, of all games, Paper Mario, the RPG for kids, decided to kill off a character in a style like this. Oh my god, dude. Made me cry for a good 10 seconds.
I have never cried in a Mario game my life, he was such a good bomb! I cried a little when he said "I had so much fun traveling with you and olivia" but right when he lit himself up I said "NO YOU CANT DIE YOUR MY BEST FRIEND!!" but he exploded and I cried
I hate when people see his design, a generic Bob-bomb, then assume he’s got nothing going on. Like how people see one paper pun, and assume the game is the same as the others. It really is insulting to the character and the game as a whole.
I remember having a huge fucking knot in my stomach for an hour after I got to this part, and it's because I didn't see it coming. Like easily they could've had him come back out of the sky or something as like a joke, saying "hahaha instead of kachow I went kaboom" and then this scene would've been the worst prank pulled in a Pixar film disguised as a Mario game. But no, they drove straight towards the ugly truth and let the ship crash into it, in the hopes that it did something. And the ugly truth of the story is that life is unpredictable, not everything goes according to plan when it comes to life, one minute you could be alive, the next minute you could be dead, so the best thing to do is throw the dart at the board and give everything a go in life. And it's the deaths of Bobby, Olivia and Olly that solidify that ugly truth to the fullest extent, Bobby and Olivia are examples of people who lived life to the fullest, made a wonderful impact, and then died, Olly represents the exact opposite, he's basically Mr Potter from It's a Wonderful Life, a guy who isn't wrong about some things, but is a complete asshole and is full of negativity, and when he dies, he dies a negative piece of shit. There are people like that in the real world, and whether or not they've changed, is their own business. They live their lives and that's it.
People who physically cried *gang*
Even after all the wonderful story's from the first Games, his death broke me. His Story, Mario trying to save him, Olivia running away into the Mines, Bobby's Soul, Mario making Olivia happy with the Mask and then him looking at the Boulder remains... o shit and then that music. Aw no man I cried so much.

Top 10 saddest anime deaths
[1]: Bobby
Yes…
You know you're in another level of sadness when they make you cry over a generic enemy
after this particular scene,when i see bob omb in every other mario game,i would always think of bobby
What makes his death even sadder was when he tells Mario how that gooper blooper attacked the Princess Peach and how he lost his fuse and memories and when Mario and Olivia come along and he joins with us, he was so sweet and kind. Then he gets his memory back and then decides to see the princess peach one last time and wanted Mario to defeat that gooper before sacrificing himself.

Then Bobby uses said fuse to rescue Olivia and returns to Mario as a ghost to tell him to cheer up Olivia. Then it’s implied that Bobby is still with us except he’s an invisible ghost
well mario needed to kill the gooper blooper bc it had bobbys friends fuse
The funny thing is, the Super Mario Manga Mania adaptation of this game changed the scene.
From the Super Mario Wiki:
_The biggest difference in Bob-omb's adaptation in the manga is when he and Mario try to free Olivia from the boulder: after Olivia gets stuck under it, Bobby's recalls his past, explaining he may have something useful back on the Princess Peach cruise ship, but Mario tells him he retrieved (off-screen) the box with the fuse from the ship after defeating the Paper Macho Gooper Blooper. Mario offers himself to use the fuse in some way to free Olivia, but Bob-omb does not let him, grabs the fuse, and runs towards the boulder and yells at it with all his might, breaking it.

Bobby had a better death than Joel in TLOU2. AT LEAST BOBBY DIED AS AN HERO.
Correction.
Bobby death was actually sad and dont make a badass charachter a total idiot just for the sake of the plot.
BLOCKED
@@maur1c1o99 from what ?
Ricardo Oliveira nothing it’s a joke I just disagree....SIMPLE!!!
GalacticHypernova what does that mean?
Bobby is Charles Calvin confirmed
Is the Valiant Hero from the Paper Mario universe
4:15 Mario: Bobby! Noooooooo!
The truest Bob omb of all. Semper Fi, Bobby.
2:33 I remember this tune from super paper mario, the one on the wii. I think it's called "memory." It brings back good childhood memories.
Just like i did to save henry. The greatest plan was sacrifice to save others.
Sacrifice gang
remember
Bobby is right. How many times have you thrown a bob omb without once thinking that he or she was a living creature?
In terms of Mario 64 gameplay, countless Bob-Ombs.
Paper mario games can never be sad
Origami king: hold my beer *Bobby takes one for the team with the mega kaboom*
Everyone who going to play the game: *insert every sad mario music*
Super got me in tears tho.
Villager of SmashVille Yeah, just tack a "modern" at the front and it's accurate.
Mario rpg sad music inserted.
Yeah I teared up
I actually cried
Doing my first play through and holy crap I was not expecting to feel this way. My Mario sat there after the blast for a good 3-5 mins as I too sat there just blowen away by what I had just seen
I was genuinely hoping he would jump out again all like 'baba babooey, forget about it ayaya!' But no. I loved Bobby. He was truly the best, you dont know how many screenshots I have of him saved on my switch. Now hes gone...
This is actually really sad. Mario actually emotes.
Rest In Peace, Bobby.
This is one of the few moments in a video game that actually made me tear up
I can’t believe I’m crying for a literal video game bomb’s death 😭 RIP Bobby
I can't believe I cried at a fictional sentient bomb...
i saw this mentioned in another comment section but as Bobby’s memories play, the music is a pitched up version of the OST ‘memory’ from Super Paper Mario. You’ll never unhear it
Those eyes of determination from bobby when the desert theme plays is amazing
Noooo
He was so young
People: charles death is the most saddest death of all time!
Bobby: *hold my sacrifice*
Um, sorry for not being on time with everything, but who's Charles?
@@gearhead2519 Dont worry, everyone moves on their own time
Charles is from Henry stickmin, he's like one of those chill and funny people
The game is pretty fun, it's like a choose your own adventure kind of thing
This scene singlehandedly made an entire fandom cry-
I don't want to read to much into the comments to spoil the game for myself. I just got done with this part but when Bob-omb suggested he had an idea of how to help Olivia I kinda knew what he was planning to do. I was just thinking "No bro, don't tell me you are planning to blow yourself up, because basically you are a bomb" I was thinking man Bob-omb is going to betray me or do something drastic. When I got to his sacrifice part and the message he told Mario I shed a tear lol so sad 😢 I had not even noticed he didn't have a fuse till then.
Even now, I still tear up watching this scene.
Been a year and I still can’t handle the scene
rank: valiant hero
Me beating the living sh#t out of Olly: THIS IS FOR BOBBY!!!
I'm glad Olly dies in the end
Wow, never thought Mario would have a bodycount besides enemies
i got even MORE emotional when we went to cheer up olivia and the happy music starts playing, it was just such a beautiful moment 🥺🥺
Bobby for smash 😭😭😭 respect this bob omrade
But don't Bombette and Admiral Bobbery explode multiple times without getting hurt themselves?
Maybe because Bobby was a normal Bob-Omb
different games (yes i know this is a 3 year old comment lol)
The only time Mario shows actual emotion
Charles and bobby are the same
At least he gets to be reunited with all of his bomb homies.
He died because we kept calling Bobby and not his real name Bhomas
Bobby is the best Paper Mario character by far
In the manga adaptation of origami king bobby doesn’t blow up and die, he breaks the rock by screaming at it and then leaves to go to the hospital to have his throat checked. Not even joking, you can look up Super Mario Kun.
Wait... but the previous Bob-Omb partners never died from blowing up....
The TTYD chapter 7 bob ombs have words for you
Lucky GuyDX partners
I think the basic bombs we see in every game are built differently than the more colorful and uniquely designed ones we see in every other game
Bobby Sacrificing + Mario Failing to Stop His Sacrifice + Olivia Crying = The Saddest Part In Paper Mario Origami King
Bob-bombs seem to have 2 explosions. A standard explosion they survive (like Bombette and Bobbery in the Paper Mario series) where they unleash a burst of energy in a blast (sort of like the Pokemon move Self-Destruct), and much larger explosions where they actually blow up and die.
The first time I played this I was crying because for the first time ever, a character that was good died (I've never played FF7 ok) and that really hit me
oh great, first Charles Calvin, now Bobby? why must all the great characters die at the end?
I didn’t know I would ever cry while playing a Mario game. But it happened.
2020 can't get any wor-
Origami King and The Henry Stickmin Collection: **releases**
Ok nic-
The best character in each game: **dies**
...
end 2020 already!
Puffballs: *Haha Mission go Complete*
Nintendo: *One of Mario's funniest adventure is about to unfold. By the way, I'm gonna remember you everytime that your best friend isn't with you anymore, so have fun!!!*
I can't believe that, of all games, Paper Mario, the RPG for kids, decided to kill off a character in a style like this. Oh my god, dude. Made me cry for a good 10 seconds.
I will never hurt a bomb omb again
4:16 Mario: Bobby, don't do it!!
Bobby: Goodbye Big M.
Mario:Nooooooooooooo!
(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM)
Whole time playing PMTOK I was like it's a kids game nothing bad will happen next u know this happens
Se crea la máquina del tiempo:
Las pibas: Por fin regresaré con mi ex.
Los pibes: No Bobby yo traje otra bomba no te sacrifiques porfavor
Cierto 👌
Rip bobby
I have never cried in a Mario game my life, he was such a good bomb! I cried a little when he said "I had so much fun traveling with you and olivia" but right when he lit himself up I said "NO YOU CANT DIE YOUR MY BEST FRIEND!!" but he exploded and I cried
Damn it bobby what i tell you bout dying-
Where Bobby died was sad, but that ending made me happy
I hate when people see his design, a generic Bob-bomb, then assume he’s got nothing going on. Like how people see one paper pun, and assume the game is the same as the others. It really is insulting to the character and the game as a whole.
I’m still sad about Bobby’s death... 😢
You scroll through the dialogue too fast when it’s a long message, but then wait around too long on dialogue boxes that are like four words total.
I remember having a huge fucking knot in my stomach for an hour after I got to this part, and it's because I didn't see it coming. Like easily they could've had him come back out of the sky or something as like a joke, saying "hahaha instead of kachow I went kaboom" and then this scene would've been the worst prank pulled in a Pixar film disguised as a Mario game. But no, they drove straight towards the ugly truth and let the ship crash into it, in the hopes that it did something. And the ugly truth of the story is that life is unpredictable, not everything goes according to plan when it comes to life, one minute you could be alive, the next minute you could be dead, so the best thing to do is throw the dart at the board and give everything a go in life. And it's the deaths of Bobby, Olivia and Olly that solidify that ugly truth to the fullest extent, Bobby and Olivia are examples of people who lived life to the fullest, made a wonderful impact, and then died, Olly represents the exact opposite, he's basically Mr Potter from It's a Wonderful Life, a guy who isn't wrong about some things, but is a complete asshole and is full of negativity, and when he dies, he dies a negative piece of shit.
There are people like that in the real world, and whether or not they've changed, is their own business. They live their lives and that's it.

Other girl”Do men even have feelings”?
Where men cried:
I cried my eyes out that day
I loved Bobby he was my favorite character he literally had my personality I didn’t play the game till Augest it was crushing
Am I the only person who went to make memories with bobby while Olivia was crushed? Infact I even took pictures in shogun studios during that time.
I hope you can revive him somehow
Girls: Oh my god I can't believe he didn't cry during Titanic, do boys even have a soul?
Boys:
And girls, I mean we’re not soulless
So many of these bombs had to be sacrificed for the greater good in both this game and Color Splash...
