It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: Mostly complete; the following characters are still missing: (1) Untattleable characters, especially those during Bowser intermissions. (2) Inn runners and shop runners. (These characters tend to have long lists of quotes, and it is not clear how to present them.) (3) Glitz Pit Security staff.

Throughout Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, there exist several NPCs that are not named in any way. The following is a list of them.

An orange Toad in Rogueport Harbor. Unnamed NPC
An orange Toad hanging near the Save Block.

Tattle: "By the sound of it, something bad happened to this sailor, and now he hates the sea. Sounds so sad... I wonder what he thinks about when he looks out at the ocean..."
  • "What you want, pal? Huh? A princess in a pink dress? I ain't seen nothing like that, no. I'd remember a princess, probably. Why do you want this chick, anyway, pal? Owe you money? Or is she yer girlfriend?"
  • "Not that you care, but I gave up all my life's dreams. Now I just stare at the sea. I walk around...alone. I wait for a ship that never returns. Life stinks, you know that?"
  • "Once, a great pirate named Cortez wreaked havoc on these seas, y'know. People in town still tell stories about that guy... He's like a legend..."
  • "See that ship docked there? She belongs to Flavio, the merchant trader. He don't sail too often, though. Mostly he hangs at Podley's joint on the plaza."
  • "Off to that island, are ya? Well, at least Flavio's ship is the best in the harbor. You oughta be fine as long as you don't see any ghosts. But if the pirate king's curse is real, there ain't a ship on the sea that can save you."
  • "I'm more interested in the casualties of a treasure hunt than I am in the treasure. Morbid, huh? Yeah, I know. Well, you try not to become a treasure ghost, OK, pal?"
  • "If it weren't for you, those guys never would've returned. Thanks, pal!"
  • "Hey, the sun came back, pal! Was it you? Did YOU save us? I'm...happy! I'm SOOO happy! I want to embrace life again... I want to BELIEVE again... Sniff... I love you, man."

An orange Toad in Rogueport Harbor. Unnamed NPC
An orange Toad hanging in the open area near the stairs. He appears after Goombella joins Mario's party.

Tattle: "That's a Toad sailor who works here at Rogueport Harbor. I hear he loves his family so much that it's hard for him to go on long voyages."
  • "Hey, in case you don't know, the plaza's through the gate at the top of the stairs. There are shops and inns and stuff there. You ought to take a good look around."
  • "You know what I've learned? The world is full of strange and mysterious places. Yup. I sure would love to go see them all one day. That'd be a logistical nightmare, though."

  • "...What? Keelhaul Key? Oh, that place is absolutely awful, I've heard. Not long ago, ship after ship went there hunting treasure, but none ever returned... I bet they met the bad end of the pirate king's curse. Those guys were dumb."
  • "Setting sail at last, eh? Treasure has its allure, but my family needs me. Dreaming dreams is all well and good, but certain-death voyages? I'll pass, thanks."
  • "Admiral Bobbery? I'm fairly sure there was an old guy by that name living in the east part of town."
  • "Wow, those guys all looked excited... They didn't get rich, but I still kind of envy them."
  • "...Poshley Heights? Only filthy-rich folks live there, right? Not that I've ever been..."
  • "WHAT?!? You went to the dang moon? Why should I believe you? Did you get the man in the moon's autograph?"
  • "What?!? There was an evil shadow queen sleeping deep beneath this town?!? Huh? And you defeated her? Listen... You really need to quit with the compulsive lying."

  • "Blimey! A fight?!? Corkin'! Heh heh! Ain't nothin' so fun as watchin' some poor bloke 'ave it out wif his missus, eh? Am I right, mate?"
  • "Lissen, mate... You'll run into all sorts o' trouble if you don't keep your eyes peeled. This is ROGUEport, after all. The town's rotten wif crooks, thieves, an' 'ooligans."
  • "K-Keelhaul Key? You mean the island where the treasure hoard of Cortez, the pirate king, is hidden? So...you want treasure, eh? Fine, but keep an eye out or the pirate curse'll get ya!"

  • "Going at last, are ya? Try not to die a 'orrible death, all right, then?"
  • "So, there WERE ghosts, eh? I don't care what kinda ship ya got! I'd of been paralyzed! But hey! Comin' back on a better ship than you left on is quite the score!"

  • "You look like you don't know nothing, so I'll teach you something, how 'bout that? There are ruins beneath us, and you can go down there and find these pipes that... Huh? You already knew that? Fine, Mr. Brilliant. I'll have a better tip next time."

Tattle: "That Koopa lives here. He must've been born lucky, 'cause he ALWAYS succeeds. He has all the money he'll ever need, but I think he's still unfulfilled somehow. Hmm... Then again, that doesn't surprise me, since he spends all day in bed. It just goes to show, you can't buy happiness, and you should occasionally leave bed."
  • "Yet another day dwindles away while I loaf in bed, doing nothing... Oh, well... I AM rich, after all!"
  • "Yet another day dwindles away while I loaf in bed, doing nothing... Oh, guess what? I won first prize in the Happy Lucky Lottery today, but... I didn't even go outside. I should have gone to collect my prize... Oh, well... I'm already rich anyway, so whatever!"

  • "Yet another day dwindles away while I loaf in bed, doing nothing... Oh, well... But all this loafing is starting to depress me. I may have tons of money, but I have no idea how to use it! But you probably can't relate to my problems. You don't look rich at all."
  • "Yesterday I got out of bed for the first time in a while and went for a walk. I wandered under the sky... I had completely forgotten just how blue it can be. No matter how much money I have, I'll never be able to buy that blue, blue sky. But it's given me insight into how I can use the endless sums of money I have..."
  • "There was this guy who said he wanted to turn the novel 'Paper Mario' into a movie. He said he wanted me to help him do it. Sort of as an executive producer. I read that novel, too, and it was pretty disturbing. Still, I was moved. I thought, THIS would be an effective use of my vast sums of money! Perhaps the time for me to get out of bed and become productive has finally come."

Tattle: "That's the gatekeeper of Petalburg. He's super-dutiful about guarding this gate. But I bet he'd totally run for cover if real monsters ever did show up here... I just get a feeling about him. Goomba's intuition, maybe?"
  • "An old stronghold called Shhwonk Fortress lies ahead. A stone creature lives there. At least, it MIGHT live there. This gate is to keep it out. My job...is guarding the gate."
  • "Be prepared for trouble, and trouble will pass you by. That's what I always say! By which I mean, it'd be wise to stock up on items before you go to Shhwonk Fortress. I've heard there are beasts there that you can't beat in battle without items. My personal recommendation? Probably POW Blocks. Yeah. They're always a solid choice."
  • "You defeated the fabled stone monster of Shhwonk? Whoa! Well done! But wait... Hold on, now... That means I have no more job, doesn't it? Well, what do you suppose I should do now, huh? What a pickle..."
  • "Huh? Did I hear that right? The stone monster appeared? So, the stories were true... You'd better go and buy some items then. You know, just to be on the safe side. Yup, that'd be a smart move. And the shopkeeper will be psyched to see you, too."[note 5]
  • "Huh?!? You say you beat Hooktail??? That's incredible! Amazing! So I guess that means your adventure is finally over, eh? What? It's only just begun?!? Wow, really? In that case, you'd better stock up on more items. I bet they'll come in handy!"
  • "Thanks to you, it'll be calm here again. Of course, peace and quiet is bad for business. Nobody goes in that shop anymore. The business world is a rough place, man... Hey! Buy some items once in a while! The guy in the shop sure would appreciate it!"

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ This seems to be a reference to Toodles, but in the game her ring is gold instead of silver. This disparency also exists in the Japanese version of the game, where the Squeek refers to his ring as『ぎんのゆびわ』(Gin no Yubiwa, "Silver Ring") while Toodles's ring is called『きんのゆびわ』(Kin no Yubiwa, "Gold Ring").
  2. ^ This is a reference to William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
  3. ^ This is a pun on "Scrambled Eggs and Ham" and William Shakespeare's Hamlet. In the Japanese version of the game, the play is called『オムレット』(Omuretto), a pun on "omelette" and "Hamlet".
  4. ^ This is a reference to William Shakespeare's King Lear.
  5. ^ This quote is present in the game coding, but it is likely unused.
  6. ^ In the Japanese version of the game, the guessed name is「プニスケ」(Punisuke), from「プニ」(Puni, "Puni") and「助」(-suke, a male name suffix).
  7. ^ This name is a combination of「キノピオ」(Kinopio, "Toad") and「子」(ko, "child"). The same formation is used for Toadette and Vanna T., where「子」(-ko) is a female name suffix.
  8. ^ a b The two Toad sailors have different tattles in the Japanese version of the game.
    ボロ水夫A:「ふなのりの キノピオよ / あたしたちと おなじようなに あって / このしまに たどりついた すいふの一人ひとり // トロピコアイランドでの せいかつを / マンキツしているみたいね / けっこう たくましいわ」(That's a Toad sailor. He's one of the sailors who came to this island after having gone through the same thing as us. He seems to be making the best of his life on Keelhaul Key. He's pretty tough.)
    水夫D:「ふなのりの キノピオよ / あたしたちと おなじようなに あって / このしまに たどりついた すいふの一人ひとり // ここでの せいかつが ってしまって / すみつづけているみたいね / けっこう らくてんてきなのね」(That's a Toad sailor. He's one of the sailors who came to this island after having gone through the same thing as us. He seems to like his life here so much that he has decided to stay. He seems to be quite easy-going.)
  9. ^ The Japanese version of the quiz involves a pun. The Toad kid first says「ノコタロウ」(Nokotarō, Koops) ten times, and then asks about the role of「ぎょうじ」(gyōji, "referees") in sumo wrestling. This is to trick the player into selecting the similar-sounding answer「ノコッタ!」(Nokotta!, "You're still in the ring!"), which is a chant by referees instead of the role of referees. The correct answer is「ぎょうじ」(gyōji, "refereeing").
  10. ^ This quote does not occur in normal gameplay, in which Mario gets the Train Ticket before arriving at Poshley Heights and it remains permanently in his inventory.
