Is the "Magician" category relevant? He was never shown magic, just the normal Duplighost powers. That doesn't make him able do use magic anyway.

:Except when he rends space, switches bodies, and cheats death, right? [[Special:Contributions/71.189.88.214|71.189.88.214]] 13:15, 25 August 2013 (EDT)
==Name==
Does Doopliss's name come from "duplicitous" (deceitful) or "duplicity" (deceit)? [[Special:Contributions/71.189.88.214|71.189.88.214]] 13:15, 25 August 2013 (EDT)
I am pretty sure it is a play on words of duplicity... but then again, I may be wrong. {{unsigned|202.151.73.10}}
==Add to Trivia?==
Uh, has anyone noticed bells in Doopliss' theme song? I think that's a reference to him turning the villagers into pigs and we should add that to the Trivia section.

==Fact or Fiction?==
Is it actually true that Doopliss can't damage you if you can't damage him when you guess his name incorrectly? (I ask cause I either never tried it at all, or it's been like 15 years since I've done something similar) --[[User:NinTylo|NinTylo]] ([[User talk:NinTylo|talk]]) 03:19, June 21, 2020 (EDT)
== Mario Form ==
Hey guys I found a gif of Doopliss in his Mario form from Supper Mario Broth but it still has the background in it should I add this to the gallery or keep looking for one without the background? <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/cc97b7db6b99166522d6922e8031fc0e/tumblr_okm8eiRTfK1rrftcdo1_400.gifv" alt="3c — suppermariobroth: Comparison between the sprites..."/> [[User:I&#39;manumber1|I&#39;manumber1]] ([[User talk:I&#39;manumber1|talk]]) 17:22, October 20, 2021 (EDT)
== Doopliss ==
The article mentions that Doopliss has the ability to steal other peoples body's when he copies them.  Shouldn't it be mentioned that unlike other Duplighosts, Doopliss can not perfectly copy people as when Doopliss captures someone their eyes become round and they gain a "hunched over" position. (By the way you can't say this doesn't happen for Zip Toad and Professer Frankly because they both retain glasses that cover their eyes in order for the player to not be able to realize it's Doopliss.) However in Paper Mario for the N64 Duplighosts all perfectly copy Mario, even using his exact same sprites. This is another thing that makes Doopliss unique from other Duplighosts.

:The round eyes and hunched position only applies when he copies Mario. Even when copying the partners in the Palace of Shadow, they're not hunched and their eyes are clearly normal. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 18:16, November 12, 2021 (EST)
Could you show me a picture? [[User:I&#39;manumber1|I&#39;manumber1]] ([[User talk:I&#39;manumber1|talk]]) 20:06, November 12, 2021 (EST)
Oh and even if this doesn't apply to all characters it should be noted that Doopliss cannot perfectly copy Mario unlike Duplighosts seen in the previous Paper Mario for N64. [[User:I&#39;manumber1|I&#39;manumber1]] ([[User talk:I&#39;manumber1|talk]]) 20:08, November 12, 2021 (EST)
:I feel like it was only done that way so that the player could tell the fake Mario from the real one. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 20:10, November 12, 2021 (EST)
::As for the partner statement, I would post a YouTube video here to prove my point but every video I could find was using Vivian as the active partner (and Doopliss only copies Mario or the currently active partner). However, I can still clarify from playing the game myself with Goombella and Yoshi; they still look identical to the real deals. I should point out even with Zip Toad, we see him with his sunglasses down after he was busted by Pennington, and his eyes are normal there. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 20:40, November 12, 2021 (EST)
Well even if they did just change it so you could tell the difference between the real and fake Mario it's still a small detail that makes Doopliss different from other Duplighosts and for that reason it should be noted. Also you don't know if Zip Toad's eyes are normal on Doopliss because you never meet the real Zip Toad outside of an E-Mail and for that reason you can never actually see his eyes.

:It's not supposed to be an imperfect form unique to Doopliss, but rather, Mario's "evil" pose, as seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVGAp_FXlZs here] (altered in localization due to a minor, ignorable visual glitch if the player had certain badges equipped). [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 12:49, November 13, 2021 (EST)
Well other Duplighosts don't gain any unique "evil" Mario pose when they copy Mario so it should be added. [[User:I&#39;manumber1|I&#39;manumber1]] ([[User talk:I&#39;manumber1|talk]]) 13:00, November 13, 2021 (EST)
:There probably isn't one programmed for the first game (and there would be no part of it where it would be necessary). Besides, the design differences are still mentioned in the general information section which I think is enough. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 13:04, November 13, 2021 (EST)
I feel like at this point, especially with the video LinkTheLefty provided, trying to claim Doopliss can't replicate people properly just because of Mario's pose is speculation and should absoloutely not be noted. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 13:16, November 13, 2021 (EST)
:Best approach to me is just describe Doopliss's transformation without adding in claims that it's "imperfect" or even stating "probably for the player to tell Doopliss apart". Just say, "While Duplighosts can transform to Mario in later games with no visual differences, Doopliss's Mario has a different pose and rounder eyes". Then, people can just fill in the blank whether it's "imperfect" or it's "gameplay" or even both. We probably already do this. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 13:22, November 13, 2021 (EST)
I agree with Bazooka Mario. [[User:I&#39;manumber1|I&#39;manumber1]] ([[User talk:I&#39;manumber1|talk]]) 16:35, November 13, 2021 (EST)
:Like I said, these differences are mentioned under "physical description". {{User:Swallow/sig}} 16:51, November 13, 2021 (EST)
