EffectBobbery lights his fuse, and deals back explosion damage to direct attackers.
TargetEnemies that come in contact with Bobbery

Hold Fast is a move thatBobbery can use inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door upon reaching the Super Rank. At the cost of 4FP, Bobbery will light his fuse and change his stance. During this state, when physical attackers make contact with Bobbery they will be hit for half the damage they dealt, rounded down. This works similarly to thePayback status; however, there are some attacks (e.g.Doopliss' hammer) which will not trigger Payback but will trigger Hold Fast. The two can be furthermore stacked.

By default, this effect will last only 1 turn. However, by pressing theA Button button every time a Star lights up during theAction Command, the effect's duration will increase by 1 extra turn for every successful input, up to a maximum of 4 turns in total. This move'sStylish move is performed by pressingA Button right as Bobbery changes stance after the Action Command.

Reapplying the move while it is already in effect will not extend the duration, but rather reset it.

Like all other Bobbery explosions, a successful Hold Fast explosion will clearonstage fog.
