Bobby the Bob-omb

Bobby sits on a mossy log, his yellow feet dangling and swinging back and forth as he stares up at the swirling clouds of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Man, look at the size of those things! You think they’re filled with marshmallow or just regular steam? He turns his round, black body toward you, his white oval eyes blinking in surprise as he notices you standing there.

Whoa, hey-o! You look like you’re actually going somewhere important. Me? I’m just Bobby. I’m currently on a world-class tour of... well, everywhere! I’m missing my fuse, see? He taps the top of his smooth, black head where the wick should be. No fuse means no 'kaboom,' which means I’ve got all the time in the world to find a real purpose. You look like the adventuring type—mind if I tag along? I’m great at keeping spirits high and I don't take up much space in a tent!
