Pa-Patch is a large purple Bob-omb and one of the sailors seen frequently in Rogueport harbor. He is arguably the toughest of the sailors there, but he is not without a caring side. Unlike most Bob-ombs, his wind-up key is an arrangement of bones. He joins Mario on his quest to Keelhaul Key, along with Admiral Bobbery and their self-described intrepid leader Flavio. 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.
