In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', a shady, seedy character named '''Rip Cheato''' sells [[Mario]] items for 64 [[coin]]s in the last room of [[Toad Town Tunnels]].  He has a few [[Star Piece (Paper Mario)|Star Pieces]] for sale, but he also has junk items such as [[Dried Shroom]] that Mario must pay for first to collect all his finer wares.

The [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] in his room leads to the blue locked house in [[Toad Town]] near [[Tayce T.]] The pipe makes a convenient secondary entrance/exit to the tunnels.

==List of Items==
The Items are always acquired in a set order, as follows.

*1st purchase............Star Piece
*2nd purchase............[[Life Shroom]]
*3rd purchase............Bump Attack [[Badge]]
*4th purchase............[[Repel Gel]]
*5th purchase............Star Piece
*6th purchase............[[Super Shroom]]
*7th purchase............[[Mushroom]]
*8th purchase............[[Dried Shroom]]
*9th purchase............Dried Shroom
*10th purchase...........Star Piece
*11th purchase and on....Dried Shroom

==Tattle==
*''He's a merchant by the name of Rip Cheato. Who knows why he set up here... I guess it doesn't matter. People can sell stuff wherever they want. It's their choice. I actully kind of like it here. It's like a secret fort!''

==Trivia==
*His counterpart, [[Chet Rippo]], also appears in ''Paper Mario'', as well as in  the sequel, ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where he looks much different.
*Although Rip Cheato has yet to return in a future ''Paper Mario'' installment, [[Charlieton]], a merchant selling assorted goods makes an appearance in ''The Thousand-Year Door'', taking over for Rip Cheato. Likewise, another merchant named [[Flimm]] appeared in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.
*His name is a pun on "rip-off" and "cheater."
*The reason he sells everything for 64 coins probably come from ''[[Nintendo 64]]'', the platform the game was released on.
*[[Flamm]], a character from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', bears some resemblance to Rip Cheato.
