“Sorry I sound so down, but you would be too if you'd seen Luigi’s big bridal stunt show.”
—Jerry, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)

Jerry is a Bob-omb in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door . Jerry is the second partner that joins Luigi on his adventure to rescue Princess Eclair. Luigi and Jerry travel to Plumpbelly Village, where Luigi dresses up as a bride so that he can be offered to a two-headed snake as a sacrifice. They defeat the snake, and Jerry accompanies Luigi to make sure no one has to witness the sight of Luigi in a wedding dress again. In the Switch remake, Jerry instead says that Luigi kept stumbling over his stilettos and knocking people over, so he has to clear the area if Luigi goes near stilettos again.

Quotes[edit ]

  • Goombella: "That's Jerry, Luigi's Bob-omb buddy. He's a little different from most Bob-ombs. He's really burning with a righteous fire, and I think he's seen some...horrible...things. Speaking of which, I wonder if I'll ever be a bride... Hee hee hee hee hee!" (GCN)
  • Goombella: "That's Jerry, Luigi's Bob-omb buddy. He's a little different from most Bob-ombs. He seems rattled...and a bit bruised, as if he's taken several lumps to the head from a clumsy bridal decoy. Speaking of which, I wonder how graceful I would be as a bride... Hee hee hee hee hee!" (Switch)
  • Jerry: "Hi, I guess. I'm Jerry. I'm a Bob-omb from Plumpbelly Village. Nice to meet you. Sorry I sound so down, but you would be too if you saw Luigi dressed as a bride. I'm serious. It scarred me. It was honestly scarier than that giant snake-thing. I feel I now have a moral duty to stop Luigi from ever dressing as a bride again. I have to protect the world from my fate. That's why I'm sticking close to this guy." (GCN)
  • Jerry: "Hi, I guess. I'm Jerry. I'm a Bob-omb from Plumpbelly Village. Nice meeting you. Sorry I sound so down, but you would be too if you'd seen Luigi's big bridal stunt show. He's SO clumsy in heels! He was like a wobbly force of nature! Falling down everywhere, knocking things over, tumbling into people... Now I have an obligation to tag along and clear the area if Luigi so much as glances at a stiletto. Somebody has to be the herald of the coming wobble-pocalyse. That's why I'm sticking close to this guy." (Switch)

Naming[edit ]

"Jerry" rhymes with "cherry", a fruit that he resembles. This could refer to a type of firework known as a cherry bomb, though it also follows the food-theme of Jerry's homeland, the Waffle Kingdom.
