[[File:PM Chuck Quizmo quiz.png|thumb|left|Chuck Quizmo and his assistant [[Vanna T.]] quizzing [[Mario]]]]
Quizmo appears throughout ''[[Paper Mario]]'' in different towns and villages, and if [[Mario]] speaks with him, Quizmo will transport him to a game show-like stage and, along with his assistant [[Vanna T.]], ask Mario a question. If Mario answers Quizmo's quiz correctly, he will be rewarded with a [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]], and if he answers wrong, he will receive nothing. In the latter case, the same question will be asked the next time Mario speaks with him, thereby still allowing the player to receive all the Star Pieces. After quizzing Mario, Quizmo will teleport away to a different location. In all, Quizmo will ask sixty-four questions, provided Mario makes the effort to find him and accept his quizzes.

If Mario answers all of his questions correctly, Quizmo states that, now that he has found someone with all the answers, he can finally retire as quiz master. After Mario defeats [[Bowser]], Quizmo, along with Vanna T., can be seen in [[Toad Town]] outside the [[Toad Town Dojo|dojo]]; when spoken to, Quizmo will jokingly ask Mario if he wants to participate in another quiz before stating he is in Toad Town merely to attend the festival celebrating the defeat of the [[Bowser's Minions|Koopa Corps]]. Quizmo can also be seen in the parade that plays during the ''Paper Mario'' credits, expelling fireworks from his hat.

In the original Japanese script of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', most translations of the game, and the English version of the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], the final [[Mailbox SP#"Special Final Issue!" section|RDM email]] mentions that Chuck Quizmo (revealed to be 44-years old in the original) was set to return in a new quiz show named ''[[List_of_implied_entertainment#HEY.2C_Who.27s_Fibbin.27.3F.21|HEY, Who's Fibbin'?!]]'', but troubled production kept him too busy to be included in the adventure. This is an allusion to the fact that he was [[list of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content|planned]] to make an appearance in the final game. The French translation substitutes his name with Vanna T.

This is an allusion to the fact that he was [[list of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content|planned]] to make an appearance in the final game. The English translation of the game removed the portion of the e-mail where Chuck Quizmo is mentioned, while the French translation substitutes his name with Vanna T.

==Notes==
==Trivia==
*In the Japanese version of ''Paper Mario'', some of the wrong answers for Chuck Quizmo's Questions are different than that of the English version:
[[File:ChuckQuizmo'sQuiz.png|thumb|right|[[Mario]] and [[Kooper]] on Quizmo's show. [[Luigi]], a [[Koopa Bros.|Ninjakoopa]], [[Jr. Troopa]], an adult [[Yoshi]], and several others can be seen in the audience.]]
**Question #1: The wrong answer choice "クリスチーヌ" was later used for Goombella's Japanese name in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. Its English equivalent is "Goombette", a name later used for [[Goombette|a female Goomba character]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.
*[[Luigi]], a [[Koopa Bros.|Ninjakoopa]], [[Yoshi]], [[Goompapa]], and [[Jr. Troopa]] can be seen among the [[audience]], along with a [[Bumpty]], [[Lakitu]], [[Shy Guy]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Raven]], and a [[Toad (species)|Toad]].
**Question #19: The wrong answer choice "ノコタロウ" was later used for Koops' Japanese name in ''The Thousand-Year Door''. Its English equivalent is "Koopa Krab".
*Chuck Quizmo's quiz was the beginning of the running gag of quizzes in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] taking place in a game show stage, despite Mario never moving from where he found Quizmo (such as [[Koopa Village]]). This quiz also had the first audience in a ''Paper Mario'' game, though it had no function.
**Question #32: The wrong answer choice "ドガボン" is the Japanese name for Tubba Blubba. Its English equivalent is "Jr. Troopa".
*[[MC Ballyhoo]] from ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' bears a resemblance to Chuck Quizmo, mostly because of the huge top hats the two characters wear.
**Question #60: The wrong answer choice "こいびと" means lovers in Japanese. Its English equivalent is "Neighbors".
