Biography
Background
During his youth, he along with Starfy's father saved the world from the evil demon Ogura and sealed him inside a magic jar, thus bringing peace. Much of his life after that is unknown and he seemed to have not have had much contact with Starfy's father after the latter became the king of Pufftop and had Starfy. He also knows Old Man Vern from when he was young.
Densetsu no Stafy
Old Man Lobber finds Starfy after he fell off of Pufftop. He takes Starfy to his home to practice his basic abilities. After Starfy leaves Old Man Lobber's house they meet again much later in the game. Old Man Lobber tells Starfy and Moe more about Ogura at this point.
Densetsu no Stafy 2
After falling off of Pufftop again Starfy and Moe go to Old Man Lobber's house. Most likely to either practice basic abilities, or get some helpful advice. Old Man Lobber fights Ogura before the final battle in the game.
Densetsu no Stafy 3
After falling off of Pufftop for the third time Starfy, Moe, and Starly start by visiting Old Man Lobber. Most likely for the same reason as in Densetsu no Stafy 2. A short flashback of Old Man Lobber and Papa Star's battle with Ogura can be seen in this game.
Densetsu no Stafy 4
After hearing about the distress in the Amy Kingdom from Materu Starfy returns to the sea along with Moe and Starly where they accidentally fall in on Old Man Lobber while he is tending to his bonsai tree, and as in previous games he aids Starfy by giving hints and advice.
The Legendary Starfy
In The Legendary Starfy, he is first encountered in Hotcha Springs where he can give advice to Starfy to help him along his journey. Throughout the game the player can access a special feature called Lobber's Logbook on the bottom screen which keeps record of all the player's achievements.
Boss
After beating all ten worlds of The Legendary Starfy, and beating certain times in each level of the last world, you'll end up fighting Old Man Lobber, known as Master Lobber in this particular case. Master Lobber will put a shield up and charge at you (can be dodged easily). If he dashes into the middle he will shoot you with "Hard-To-Dodge-Bullets". When you lower him down to 2, he will turn gold and use his Clakkity Killer move. If he touches you while he is gold, you will instantly die and it is very hard to dodge, so be careful. To dodge this move you will have to star spin in the right direction. EXAMPLE: if he is coming at you from the left or right then you would star spin up or down.
Old Man Lobber (Master Lobber) is not trying to beat Starfy because he is evil or being controlled by anyone evil. He made world ten and made himself the boss to let Starfy prove himself and be the king of Pufftop by beating him.
