'''Bestovius''' is a | '''Bestovius''' is a sage that appears in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He is a powerful sage, the Dimensional Governor of [[Lineland]] and the so-called "Flip Wizard". He thinks highly of himself and he is a descendant of the ancients. He is also a distant cousin of [[Merlon]] and [[Merlee]]. He is responsible for granting [[Mario]] the 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 coins 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. | ||
[[ | Bestovius believes that people from another dimension listen to him, and believes that they would wish to know that Mario can flip dimensions with the A button. This is, indeed, breaking the [[Fourth Wall]], just as [[Thoreau]] does later in Chapter 1-2. Bestovius is [[Watchitt]]'s cousin. If Mario returns 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 (presumably a Nintendo DS Lite). | ||
