| ==History==
| |
| During the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Star Kids could not ascend because of the trouble [[Bowser]] caused in Star Haven. Merle helps Mario and his partner in their quest to vanquish Bowser and his minions by providing them the [[Scarf]], one of the two keys to unlocking the door to [[Shiver Mountain]] and the [[Crystal Palace]] (the other being a [[Bucket (Paper Mario)|Bucket]], provided by [[Mayor Penguin]] in [[Shiver City]] a little later). The aforementioned quote is a riddle Merle recalled which is imperative to Mario finding [[Merlumina|Madam Merlar]], ancestor of Merle and Merlon.

| |
| *"{{wp|Merle}}" is an actual word with several varying meanings, though Merle's name would appear to have been derived from a simple corruption of either "Merlon" or "{{wp|Merlin}}".

| *In the Italian version of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', while Tattling Merlee, [[Goombella]] mentions her father the ''indovino'' ("seer").<ref>"''Questa è Merluna, la figlia dell'indovino.''"
