“Tell me pal, have you tried the hidden game as of yet? You need a Golden Card... Of course I have the card, so that game is already at the mercy of me. Yeah... I doubt you'll ever find the card anyway, pal. Well... Good luck finding it!”
Hort, Super Paper Mario

Hort is a person in the Flipside Arcade in the game Super Paper Mario. Tippi says he is the "iron man of games" and plays games like a professional. This is corroborated by the fact that has high scores of 700,000 and 500,000 in every game at the Flipside Arcade. Tippi also says he is the master of games, but not the master of games of love, which may indicate that he is in a relationship with Kerrie, who sings that her boyfriend's true love is the arcade.

Tattle[edit]

  • "That's Hort, the iron man of games... He plays like a professional... He's back in the arcade again today, looking for a worthy adversary... He's a master of games... Just not the game of love..."
