'''Bestovius''' is a powerful sage that appears in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' who is also the Dimensional Governor of [[Lineland]] and the so-called "Flip Wizard". He is responsible for granting [[Mario]] the [[flip|ability]] to switch between the second and third dimensions, an ability that the game showcases throughout the entire story. He tries to charge Mario a huge sum of [[coin]]s for the enchantment, but he eventually settles for a very small price or for free.

He is found at the beginning of Chapter 1-1. | ||

He is also a distant cousin of [[Merlon]] and [[Merlee]], and is a direct cousin of [[Old Man Watchitt]]. If Mario and friends return the [[You-Know-What]] from Watchitt to Bestovius, Bestovius will give Mario the [[Training Machine]] (a [[Nintendo DS]]) that he had promised [[Merluvlee]]. According to Bestovius, he no longer needs it because he got a newer, sleeker model. | ||
