'''Prof. Kinopio'''<ref>''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' internal filenames <tt>KNP_Prof.bfres.lz</tt> (model) and <tt>KNP_Prof.Yellow.bfres.lz</tt> (textures), located in <tt>\content\Graphics\Character\Npc</tt>. "Prof" is also used in <tt>Y3.msbt.lz</tt>.</ref> is a character in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. He is a yellow [[Toad (species)|Toad]], and he owns a pet [[Chain Chomp]] named [[Princess (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|Princess]]. When [[Mario]] and [[Huey]] go to his house in [[Château Chanterelle]], they are told by a Toad that the professor is taking a walk with Princess in [[Mondo Woods]]. The professor can be found at the end of Mondo Woods, crying on top of a [[Mega Block|Big Block]] because he lost Princess. Huey tells the professor that Princess probably went back to Château Chanterelle, and the professor heads back there with raised spirits. However, when Mario and Huey arrive at Château Chanterelle, they find the professor crying on the ground due to Princess not being there. The professor gives Mario an [[Excavation Site Permit]] so that he can explore [[Marmalade Valley]]. 

After Mario finds the [[Bone (Thing)|Bone]] in Marmalade Valley, he can take it to Château Chanterelle, which causes Princess to return briefly. She jumps and rolls on Prof. Kinopio, and his assistant worries that he was crushed. The professor, however, is happy, and tells Mario to give Princess another Bone if he finds her again. He gives Mario a [[Sharp Spike]] as a reward for finding Princess.

Prof. Kinopio reappears during the "Prisma Prance Trance" dance sequence, laying on the floor before standing up. After getting the orange Big Paint Star and [[paint|repainting]] [[Draggadon]], Mario can visit Prof. Kinopio to learn about the species, giving a hint as to where the Draggadon went.
