'''{{wp|Pig}}s''' appear in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise as animals that are typically anthropomorphic or capable of speech.


'''Pigs''' are animals in the [[Earth|Real World]] and [[Mushroom World]] that have often appeared throughout the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series, but unlike their Real World counterparts Pigs are often shown to be 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 ''[[Wikipedia:For Whom the Bell Tolls|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 Oink]]s from ''[[Paper Mario]]'', albeit with red eyes likely to denote their cursed status.

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.
