'''Slim''' is the fourth of the many [[Pixl|Pixls]] that [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Bowser]], and [[Luigi]] discover in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', and one of the twelve original Pixls created by the [[Tribe of Ancients|Ancients]]. He joins the party at [[Merlee's Mansion]]. He can be found by flipping in the left of the second floor in the [[Rubee]] area. His special ability is to allow the heroes to become very thin (in a manner very similar to the [[Paper Mode]] [[Black Chest Demon|curse]] of [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|the previous game]]), letting them have access to previously inaccessible areas. Also, if the player stands still using his ability, the player will become invisible and untouchable by enemies, similar to [[Lady Bow]]'s [[Outta Sight]] and [[Vivian]]'s [[Veil]] moves from the earlier ''Paper Mario'' games; this ability makes Slim quite useful in boss battles. In particular, when [[Mimi]] is in her invincible spider form in 2-4, if Slim is used, she will be seen looking around briefly and warping away to another room to continue looking for the player. It is impossible to use his ability while the player is changing dimensions, but Mario can use it while he is in 3-D. In the English version of the game, like [[Buzzar]] and [[Grubba]], Slim has an American Southerner accent.


'''Slim''' is the fourth of the many [[Pixl|Pixls]] that [[Mario]], [[Peach]], [[Bowser]], and [[Luigi]] discover in the [[Wii]] video game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He joins the party at [[Merlee's Mansion]]. His special ability is to allow Mario to become very thin, letting him have access to previously inaccessible areas. An example of this would be if he wanted to get between two rails. Also if the player stands still using his ability, the player will become invisible and untouchable by enemies, making Slim quite useful in boss battles. It is impossible to use his ability while the [[player]] is changing dimensions, but Mario can use it while he is in 3-D. Like [[Buzzar]] and [[Grubba]], Slim acts like an American Southerner.

==Trivia==
*His ability is a reference to the Paper Mode curse in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
*He got the name "Slim" because he makes Mario and the other heroes slim.
*His power is somewhat similar to [[Vivian]] and [[Lady Bow]]. Unlike them, however, the player can move. If the player does move, he or she is vulnerable to harm.
*Before Slim joins the party, Slim says "three-point-one-four" (3.14), which is an approximation of the value of [[wikipedia:Pi|pi]].
*''Slim'' is also the name of [[Slim (Flopside)|a flop-folk]].

Slim is the fourth of the many Pixls that Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Luigi discover in Super Paper Mario, and one of the twelve original Pixls created by the Ancients. He joins the party at Merlee's Mansion. He can be found by flipping in the left of the second floor in the Rubee area. His special ability is to allow the heroes to become very thin (in a manner very similar to the Paper Mode curse of the previous game), letting them have access to previously inaccessible areas. Also, if the player stands still using his ability, the player will become invisible and untouchable by enemies, similar to Lady Bow's Outta Sight and Vivian's Veil moves from the earlier Paper Mario games; this ability makes Slim quite useful in boss battles. In particular, when Mimi is in her invincible spider form in 2-4, if Slim is used, she will be seen looking around briefly and warping away to another room to continue looking for the player. It is impossible to use his ability while the player is changing dimensions, but Mario can use it while he is in 3-D. In the English version of the game, like Buzzar and Grubba, Slim has an American Southerner accent.
