Not to be confused with Kudgel.
Cudge
File:Cudge.png
Species Pixl
First appearance Super Paper Mario (2007)
“Real good wordin', real good timin'! It really got me right there! In the heart!”
Cudge, Super Paper Mario
Cudge showing out the player's favorite word. The response is only limited to 8 characters.
Cudge shouting out the player's favorite word.

Cudge is a Pixl in the game Super Paper Mario. He is the eighth Pixl found in the game. His name comes from "cudgel", referring to a blunt weapon such as a Hammer, which Cudge manifests in the user's hands to replace actual Hammers featured in past Paper Mario games. Cudge can be used to destroy both easily seen or camouflaged yellow blocks. He notes that he was not always a Pixl, meaning that Pixls might not be an actual species, but just transformed beings. (Indeed, Carson reveals in one of his many stories that Pixls are created through putting the spirit of an unknown entity into a man-made vessel designed for a certain purpose.) This Catch Card description may be referring to this when it says "he's a real people Pixl", or it may be referring to him having good social abilities.

Cudge's Hammer
The hammer that Cudge generates.

Cudge is found in Gap of Crag after the heroes insert the elemental tablets into the pillars. Before he joins the team, he asks the player what his or her favorite word is, which he will then fly up and scream out loud before joining the team. The word must be eight letters long or Cudge won't like the word. His powers are needed to destroy the block obstructing the pipe leading to the Floro Caverns.
