| | '''Herringway''' is a [[Bumpty]] who lives in [[Shiver City]] during the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He is a famous novelist who writes many murder mysteries. Herringway lives a solitary life, remaining alone in his house as he writes his next bestseller. Although he lives behind locked doors, [[Mario]] managed to find a way inside the bumpty's house. Mario was accused of murdering the mayor of Shiver City and needed to clear his name. As such, Mario sought the help of Herringway, an expert on murder mysteries. The two returned to the scene of the crime and discovered that the mayor was not dead; he had merely fainted. As it turns out, the mayor's wife, who reads way too many of Herringways novels, jumped to conclusions and thought her husband was murdered. With the mayor revived, Mario continued on his journey and Herringway began work on his next novel, chronicling the events of the penguin murder mystery. |

| After [[Mario]] is accused of murdering [[Mayor Penguin]], he seeks out Herringway to clear his name. The two return to the scene of the crime and discovered that the Mayor was not dead, but had only fainted; his wife, who is an avid fan of Herringway's novels, jumped to conclusions and thought her husband was murdered. With the Mayor safe and coming to, Mario is cleared and able to continue his journey, while Herringway returns to his work, starting on a novel chronicling the events of the penguin murder mystery.

| ====Tattle====
| |
| *"''This penguin made a secret room in his house to hide in. What a cool idea! He's a friend of [[Mayor Penguin]]. His name is Herringway, and he writes mystery novels. His secret study, where he writes his novels, is on the second floor. I imagine that he has lots of fans in the city, so I can see why he'd need a secret room. I wouldn't mind reading one of his novels someday.''"

| ===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
| | Herringway's novels are read all over the [[Mushroom World|world]], even reaching places as far away as [[Poshley Heights]]. In fact, many of the Bumpties that live in Poshley Heights are relatives of Herringway (or, at least, they claim to be his relatives). |
| While he does not appear directly in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Herringway's novels are mentioned as being widely read. In [[Poshley Heights]], at least three of the penguin residents are his relatives according to [[Goombella]]'s [[tattle]].

| ==Trivia==
| | * The name "Herringway" is a pun on the words herring, a type of fish penguins eat, and the name of the famous author Ernest Hemingway. |
| *A [[List of Paper Mario glitches#Herringway glitch|glitch]] exists that causes Herringway's sprite to appear as that of a regular penguin or become invisible; if the former occurs, the game freezes midway through him meeting up with Mayor Penguin unless played on [[Virtual Console]]. | | * Herringway is the author of the novel "Paper Mario". |
| | *When Mario meets Herringway, it's possible to use a certain [[List of Glicthes|glitch]] on him to make morph in to something. |
