'''Sentinels'''<ref>Farkas, Bart G. ''Paper Mario'' Official Strategy Guide. Pages 80 and 81.</ref> are small flying creatures that act as guards in [[Tubba Blubba's Castle]]. In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', [[Mario]] cannot fight them, and they cannot hurt him. When Mario gets too close to a Sentinel, it starts to flash and tries to grab him. [[Lady Bow]] can use her [[Outta Sight]] move to turn her and Mario transparent to confuse the Sentinel. If one catches Mario, it will throw him and his party out of the castle, after which his active party member will remark on how to avoid getting caught:
==Design==
*[[Goombario]]: "Mario...If they catch you, they'll carry you out of the castle. Don't you think you can hide from them by using one of our party member's abilities?"
Sentinels somewhat resemble UFOs or claw catchers, having a gold, star-shaped antenna atop their heads, a beige, cloth-like body, beady black eyes, and three grey, rounded claws used to grab intruders. When pursuing Mario, they will gain an angry appearance and flash scarlet while emitting a siren wail.
*[[Kooper]]: "Can't we do something so these things don't chuck us out of the castle? Doesn't anyone in our party have an ability that'll help us avoid them?"
==History==
*[[Bombette]]: "Mario, they'll throw us out of the castle if they catch us. Can we use a party member's ability so we don't get caught?"
Sentinels are found in [[Tubba Blubba's Castle]] during Chapter 3 and act as guards of the castle. If one spots [[Mario]], it will begin to descend upon him. If they manage to grab Mario, he and his active party member will be thrown out of the castle. In order to avoid this, [[Lady Bow]] must use her [[Outta Sight]] move to turn her and Mario transparent, which will confuse the Sentinel and make it end its pursuit. Mario cannot engage in battle with them, nor can they hurt him.
*[[Parakarry]]: "This is not good. We'll be thrown out of the castle when they catch us. Can't we get around these creatures by using the ability of one of our party members?"
*[[Lady Bow]]: "These things will try to catch us and throw us out. Use my ability to turn invisible and we'll fool them."


When [[Tubba Blubba]] chases Mario and crashes the bridges above the main room, the Sentinels are crushed by the debris and are not seen for the rest of the game.
When [[Tubba Blubba]] chases Mario and crashes the bridges above the main room, the Sentinels are crushed by the debris. They disappear after the chapter is over.
==Quotes==
If Mario is caught by a Sentinel, his active party member will remark on how to avoid getting caught after they are thrown out:
*[[Goombario]]: "''Mario...If they catch you, they'll carry you out of the castle. Don't you think you can hide from them by using one of our party member's abilities?''"
*[[Kooper]]: "''Can't we do something so these things don't chuck us out of the castle? Doesn't anyone in our party have an ability that'll help us avoid them?''"
*[[Bombette]]: "''Mario, they'll throw us out of the castle if they catch us. Can we use a party member's ability so we don't get caught?''"
*[[Parakarry]]: "''This is not good. We'll be thrown out of the castle when they catch us. Can't we get around these creatures by using the ability of one of our party members?''"
*[[Lady Bow]]: "''These things will try to catch us and throw us out. Use my ability to turn invisible and we'll fool them.''"
 
==Notes==
* The [[Gnip]]s and [[Gnaw]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' serve a similar function as the Sentinels, which is to guard their assigned locations and throw out trespassers.
