Editing Huey

'''Huey''' is [[Mario]]'s main partner in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', having a similar role to [[Kersti]] from ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. He is a floating paint can with a brown handle that acts as his arms, and white eyes inside a dark-blue slot that changes color depending on his emotions (red when he is angry, blue when he is sad, yellow when he is happy, and purple when he is scared or shocked). His name comes from "{{wp|hue}}", a term used to describe color.

{{quote|Actually... I really need to get this off my chest. I feel like we've gotten to know each other pretty well, Mario. Ever since that day when you woke me up by crushing my face with a hammer. We've had some laughs, we've had some hard times... we've had some [[Green Energy Plant|mild electrocution]]. But through it all, you've never given up on me—or on finding all of [[Prism Island]]'s precious [[Mini Paint Star|Paint Star]]s. So I guess I just want to say... thank you. No matter what happens next, I will always be grateful for your friendship.|Huey|''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''}}

Mario and [[Princess Peach]] first find Huey in 3D form as a seemingly inanimate object in the inactive [[Prisma Fountain]] at the town square of [[Port Prisma]]. After Mario whacks him with his [[hammer]], however, he wakes up and gets mad at him for hitting him while he was sleeping, but calms down shortly afterwards, asking them if they would like something to eat.  Peach introduces herself and Mario to Huey, but soon after they hear [[Toad]] scream and run to go help him. When they find him, his color is being drained by a [[Slurp Guy]]. Huey teaches Mario how to battle with [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|Battle Cards]] and Mario squeezes Huey into paper form so that he can use [[paint]]. After the battle, Huey informs Mario that he now has the ability to use the [[Paint Hammer]].  

Later, in [[Cherry Lake]], Huey introduces the [[Cutout]] technique so that they can get through the gate at the beginning of the level. The technique allows Mario to use Thing cards to solve puzzles, to cut out clear lines of the background in order to traverse areas if he is not able to continue, and to find hidden Battle Cards.  

Huey explains to Mario that his First Strikes get stronger after collecting each Big Paint Star while at [[Sunglow Ridge]]. Later, he cleans up the [[black paint]] from a [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]] bomb.

Huey appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]].
