'''Pigs''' are animals in the [[Earth|Real World]]. They also appear in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series, in multiple games. They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins]]'' as bosses known as [[The Three Little Pigheads]], parodying the story of [[Wikipedia:Three Little Pigs|The Three Little Pigs]]. ''Super Mario Land 2'' also featured a Pig sub-species known as the [[Cannon Pig]].

Mayor Dour, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Pigs appear in the Super Mario franchise as animals that are typically anthropomorphic or capable of speech.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Doopliss turns the citizens of Twilight Town into Pigs with the ring of a bell. When Doopliss is defeated, everyone is turned back. The title of the chapter in which these events take place is called "For Pigs the Bell Tolls", which is a reference to the novel written by Ernest Hemingway called For Whom the Bell Tolls. Unlike nearly every other character in the game, the pigs of Twilight Town are three-dimensional in nature, and are nearly identical to Li'l Oinks from Paper Mario, albeit with red eyes likely to denote their cursed status.
