| '''Korvallis''', who appears as a non-living [[Dull Bones]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', was the father of [[Kolorado]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Although Korvallis is now a Dull Bones, he was once a [[Koopa Troopa]]. Unlike other Dull Bones, his shell and shoes are blue. | | '''Kolorado's father''', who appears as a non-living [[Dull Bones]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', was the father of [[Kolorado]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

| Korvallis is seen in one of the early rooms of [[Hooktail Castle]], where [[Koops]] mistakes the bones for those of his seemingly late father [[Koopley]]. Koops breaks down in tears, but then he notices a letter within the skeletal remains and asks [[Mario]] whether he should read it or not. If Mario indulges Koops to read it, Koops will read the letter, which reveals Hooktail's weakness and tactics. When Koops reads the last words, he realizes that these are not his father's bones after all, and Mario and his team continue onward. His bones remain intact and the letter can be read again at any point in the game. Korvallis plays no further part in the game.

| If the player chooses not to read the letter, they simply move on and neither gain the insight about Hooktail's weakness and tactics nor the knowledge over the true identity of the bones. However, the player can read it again at any time, where Mario reads it instead of Koops. | | If the player chooses not to read the letter, they simply move on and neither gain the insight about Hooktail's weakness and tactics nor the knowledge over the true identity of the bones.

| The name Korvallis is a portmanteau of "Koopa" and "{{wp|Corvallis, Oregon|Corvallis}}", a city in {{wp|Oregon}}. This matches the naming scheme of Kolorado's name, which is a portmanteau of "Koopa" and "{{wp|Colorado}}": both names originate from locations in the United States. While Kolorado's father is never explicitly referred to as Korvallis in-game, the name is present in one of [[the Creepy Steeple Boo]]'s quizzes in the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]].<ref>Specifically quiz 5, question 2: "What is the name of the son mentioned in the letter held by the Dull Bones in Hooktail Castle?"</ref> In the Japanese version, "Richard" replaces "Korvallis" as an answer, which matches the identifier used in the file name of the tattle on Korvallis in the original game.<ref>「リチャード」 ("Richard"), identifier for the tattle found in file gon_03 of the original game.</ref> Though this is no longer the case in the remake, as character tattles are labelled by numbers instead,<ref>In the remake, the file name for the tattle is msg_kuri_npc_026. "kuri" refers to Goombella.</ref> Richard being referenced again in the quiz further indicates that it is the Japanese name of Korvallis. Additionally, like Korvallis and Kolorado, Richard and Charles (Kolorado's Japanese name) share a naming scheme: they are both English names containing the syllable "char". With this in mind, it can be presumed that Korvallis is the English localization of Richard.
