'''Saffron''' is a character in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. She is a chef who runs [[Sweet Smiles]], a restaurant located on the first floor of [[Flipside]]. She can cook [[Mario]] and the other heroes various recipes if they bring her items. Her name comes from a spice of the same name that is grown mostly in southern Asia and is primarily used as an ingredient in various dishes. Its taste is recognized as "metallic honey" by some, which may parallel Saffron's sweet personality. Saffron's benevolence may also reflect that of [[Tayce T.]], the cook in the original ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

Saffron, like all other Flipside residents, has a doppelgänger who lives in [[Flopside]]; her name is [[Dyllis]]. Some differences between the two is that Saffron will only cook recipes that require one ingredient, while Dyllis cooks recipes that require two, and that Dyllis has a more German accent. During the game, Saffron comes to Mario's aid by cooking him a Spicy Soup in order to revive [[Princess Peach]] after she unexpectedly falls into Flipside. The [[Mistake]] is the only dish that can be made by both Saffron and Dyllis.

According to [[Garson]], [[Merlon#Super Paper Mario|Merlon]] was once in love with Saffron. She told him she would go out with him if he could finish a [[List of implied items#Saffron Special Galactic Meal|Saffron Special Galactic Meal]]. Merlon had finished all but a bit of parsley when he heard that an [[Tippi|injured girl]] had appeared in Flipside and rushed to her aid, forfeiting the challenge.
