He sells [[Mario]] items for 64 [[coin]]s (a reference to the [[Nintendo 64]], the console ''Paper Mario'' was released for) in the last room of [[Toad Town Tunnels]].

| ==Notes==
| | 1st purchase............Star Piece |
| *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.
| | 2nd purchase............[[Life Shroom]] |
| *Rip's appearance is unique in the series in that he is a noseless humanoid wearing a lamp on his head; as such, it is unknown what species he is. [[Charlieton]] and [[Wonky]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' slightly resemble him, but neither of them have lamps and the latter is spherical.
| | 3rd purchase............Bump Attack [[Badge]] |
| *Charlieton from ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' and [[Flimm]] from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' are merchants similar to Rip Cheato from later games in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series.
| | 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 |
