Rip Cheato is a shady character that appears in Paper Mario. His name is derived from "rip-off" and "cheater". He sells Mario items for 64 coins (a reference to the Nintendo 64, the console Paper Mario was released for) in the last room of Toad Town Tunnels. He has a few Star Pieces for sale, but he also has junk items such as Dried Shrooms that Mario must buy first in order to collect all his finer wares.
The pipe in his room leads to the blue locked house in Toad Town, known as the Odd House, which is near Tayce T. The pipe makes a convenient secondary entrance to the tunnels.
List of Items[edit]
The items are always acquired in a set order, as follows:
- Star Piece
- Life Shroom
- Bump Attack Badge
- Repel Gel
- Star Piece
- Super Shroom
- Mushroom
- Dried Shroom
- Dried Shroom
- Star Piece
- (and onwards) Dried Shroom
Tattle[edit]
- "He's a merchant by the name of Rip Cheato. Who knows why he set up here... I guess it doesn't matter. People can sell stuff wherever they want. It's their choice. I actually kind of like it here. It's like a secret fort!"
Names in other languages[edit]
| Language | Name | Meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Japanese | ボッタクール[1] Bottakūru |
Comes from「ぼっ手繰る」(bottakuru, to rip off) | |
| Chinese | 掠奇多[?] Lüèqíduō |
From the English name | |
| French | Rip Cheato[?] | - | |
| German | R. Ozzo.[?] | Mirror name of "Z. Orro", German name of Chet Rippo | |
| Spanish | Rip Truco[?] | "Truco" means "trick" or "cheat". |
Trivia[edit]
- His counterpart, Chet Rippo, also appears in Paper Mario, as well as in the sequel, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where he looks much different.
- Rip's appearance is unique in the series in that he is a noseless humanoid wearing a lamp on his head; as such, it is unknown what species he is. Charlieton and Wonky from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door slightly resemble him, but neither of them have lamps and the latter is spherical.
- Charlieton from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Flimm from Super Paper Mario are merchants similar to Rip Cheato from later games in the Paper Mario series.
