Editing Whale (character)

[[File:Whale PM.png|thumb|250px|The Whale in ''[[Paper Mario]]'']]
The '''[[Whale]]''' is a character in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Its role is to serve as the main way to get to [[Lavalava Island]] from [[Toad Town]].  

The Whale can be found in the Toad Town docks after [[Mario]] rescues the [[Star Spirit]] [[Muskular]] from [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]]. When Mario arrives in the area, the Whale is partially submerged underwater, and Mario must either [[Ground Pound]] the Whale's back or hit it with a hammer three times to rouse it. Upon surfacing, the Whale starts complaining about a bellyache, and asks Mario to go inside its stomach and find the cause. Upon doing so, Mario finds [[Fuzzipede]] jumping around in the Whale's belly, and engages it in combat.

After Mario defeats Fuzzipede, the Whale feels better and ejects them via its blowhole. In return for the assistance, the Whale transports Mario back and forth from Toad Town to Lavalava Island when needed. The Whale was also responsible for bringing the Yoshi chieftain alongside another Yoshi to Toad Town from Lavalava Island in the ending after the chieftain befriended him.

The Whale makes an appearance in the [[Victory Parade |parade]] during the credits. It appears floating on a small body of water, with [[Kolorado]] and [[Kolorado's Wife |his wife]] standing on its back. After a couple of seconds, the Whale shoots water out of its blowhole, upon which Kolorado and his wife, standing on the stream, begin waving at the camera.

The Whale also appears in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' in the [[Undersea Dream]] gameboard, and makes a cameo in the [[Paper Mario (stage)|Paper Mario]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''. On the [[S.S. Flavion]] portion of the stage, the whale may appear underneath the ship, holding it up in the air by blowing water out of its blowhole.

*''Some folk are calling it a tuna, but it's obviously a whale. Pretty huge isn't it? I wonder how many Goombas would fit inside one whale? He may look scary, being so big, but his eyes seem kind.

==Area Tattle==
*''This whale tongue is squishy. It makes it hard to walk. It's also kind of dark...
*''It's completely dark. I can't see a thing. Mario! What's up ahead? You know, being inside a whale belly is gross... Damp... Squishy... Let's never do this again.

-The whale can be found in the Toad Town docks after [[Mario]] rescues the [[Star Spirit]] [[Skolar]] from [[Gusty Gulch]]. However, the whale will only be a distance away from the docks during the [[Shy Guy]] invasion until Mario rescues [[Muskular]] from [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]]. When Mario arrives in the area, the whale is partially submerged underwater, and Mario must either [[Ground Pound]] the whale's back or hit him with a hammer three times to rouse him. Upon surfacing, the whale starts complaining about a bellyache, and asks Mario to go into his belly to find the cause; this is the [[Unrevisitable area#Paper Mario|only time]] the whale's mouth and belly are accessible. Upon entering his belly, Mario finds a [[Fuzzipede]] jumping around and engages it in combat.
-After Mario defeats the Fuzzipede, the whale feels better and ejects him from his belly via his blowhole. In return for the assistance, the whale transports Mario back and forth from Toad Town to Lavalava Island when needed. Pressing {{button|n64|A}} during the travel causes the whale to spout water, with Mario rising upwards on it. At the end of the game, the whale is also responsible for bringing the Yoshi chieftain alongside another Yoshi to Toad Town from Lavalava Island after the chieftain befriends him.
