The '''Sling-a-Thing Toad''' is a purple-colored [[Toad (species)|Toad]] in [[Decalburg]] who runs the Sling-a-Thing Stand. He will appear west of the town square once [[Mario]] has collected the [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|Fan]] thing in [[Bouquet Gardens]]. His job is to convert things into the stickers for free. If Mario is out of things and talks with the Fling-a-Thing Toad, he will whisper Mario to check the wall near him, where the [[Shady Toad]] sells things in similar way to black-marketing. The shopkeeper toad of Decalburg got jealous of him when he heard that a new shop has just opened in Decalburg. His motto is "Perky"
When tattled, Kersti will comment: "This operation looks a bit doggy, but I have to admit, the thing stickers are pretty amazing." Also a red toad at the [[Outlook Point]] does the same operation.

==Quotes==
*Well, hi there!
*Sure, the Sticker Fest was a total disaster, but you can't stay blue about it forever, right?
*No, sir, you've gotta stay perky! And I got the perkiest idea EVER just a bit ago!
*Here's the deal, Mario. If you find any interesting...lets call them "things"...out in the world, bring 'em to me.
*Do that, and I think I can cook up a little miracle for you!
*Ah, look! You have a wonderful thing! My perk sensor can just tell.
*Go ahead and stand over that little platform over there, please.
*Now you just take that special thing, face the board in front of you, and sling it as hard as you can.
*So?! Pretty darn miraculous, huh?
*You come over here, you fling a thing, and HEY PRESTO! It becomes a sticker. I call it a "thing sticker" because I'm a bit of marketing genius.
*Mario, I've got to tell you... You're so lucky to experience it firsthand!
*How about that! Pretty perky, no? From now on, stickers don't have to be something you find... They can be something you make too.
*Whenever you find a special thing, you can turn it into a sticker here.
*<small>...Hey, even if you don't have any things on you, swing by and we'll talk about it...</small>
*Anyway, can't wait to see you again! Stay perky!
*You've flung all your special things, eh? Yeah, then the fun stops here.  
*See you later!
*Oh, Mario, you don't have any special things? I see, I see.
*Sad times. I mean, without any special things, you can't do this incredibly funky activity... Sad times, indeed!
*<small>But, er...hey, have you seen that wall over there? It  might be worth having a look over there sometime. Maybe not right now, you know, but...at some point.</small>


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Both of the operations: "selling things" and "creating thing stickers" were shown to be illegal marketing methods, referencing to black-marketing in real life.
*Both "selling things" and "creating thing stickers" are heavily implied to be illegal, referencing real-life [[wikipedia:Black market|black markets]].
*The activity somewhat resembles to [[Li'l Oink|Li'l Oink Farm]] from the ''[[Paper Mario]]''.
