'''Sushie''' is [[Mario]]'s seventh party member in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. She is a [[Cheep Cheep]] residing in [[Yoshi's Village]] on [[Lavalava Island]].


'''Sushie''' is [[Mario]]'s seventh party member in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Sushie appears as a [[Catch Card]] found on the eightieth floor of the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]], as well as on a photo in Mario's house.
Her pause menu description states that she "loves romantic stories and cries at the drop of a fin", implying that she is very sensitive and soft-hearted. However, according to the [[Fearsome 5|Yoshi children]], she is very bossy. Her name is based on a combination of the common name of "Susie" and {{wp|sushi}}. While she is a member of the Cheep Cheep species, Sushie looks very similar to a [[Spray Fish]] and her default move [[Squirt]] may have been inspired by it as well.

[[File:SushiePortraitPM.png|thumb|Sushie's portrait]]
[[File:PM Wooden Platform Render.png|frame|left|A wooden dock from which Mario can mount and dismount Sushie.]]
At [[Lavalava Island]], Mario enters [[Yoshi's Village]] and sees Sushie watching over the [[Fearsome 5]], a group of [[Baby Yoshi|young Yoshis]], as their babysitter. She thinks they are planning to do something dangerous, but cannot prove it. Once Mario returns to the village after visiting the entrance of the volcano, he finds that the Fearsome 5 are missing. A Yoshi tells him that Sushie chased after them into the [[Jade Jungle]]. As Mario enters the jungle, Sushie calls for his help from atop a tree. After he uses his [[hammer]] to knock her out of the tree, he tells Sushie that he is looking for the Yoshis as well. Sushie decides to team up with him to look for the Yoshis together.


According to the Yoshi children, she is very bossy.
When Sushie hears that Mario is going to [[Mt. Lavalava]], she scolds him for planning to go to such a dangerous location. In response, Mario tells Sushie about his quest to save [[Princess Peach]]. Sushie says it is a very romantic story and joins the party. During the fight with [[Lava Piranha]], Sushie's water attacks are quite helpful. Sushie's out-of-battle ability allows Mario to ride on her back to traverse bodies of [[water]] and dive to collect items and avoid obstacles. This ability can only be used while standing on [[wooden dock]]s, and Mario and Sushie must return to the same wooden dock or find a different one in order to stop swimming.


==History==
Sushie has a daughter named [[List of implied characters#Sashimie|Sashimie]]. During the game, Sashimie sends her mother a [[letter]], stating that she is going to have a baby, meaning Sushie will soon be a grandmother. There is another letter to Sushie from [[Raphael the Raven]] at the [[Toad Town Post Office]].  
At [[Lavalava Island]], Mario enters [[Yoshi's Village]] and finds that five [[Yoshi]] children are missing. Their babysitter, a [[Cheep-Cheep]] named Sushie, asks Mario to help her find them. When they find the 5 Yoshis, Mario tells Sushie about his quest. Sushie says it's a very romantic story and joins the party. During the fight with [[Lava Piranha]], Sushie's water attacks are quite helpful.
In the ending, Sushie reads a letter inviting her to the party at [[Peach's Castle]]. When two of the Yoshi kids run by, she yells at them. At the party, Peach thanks Mario and his party members for bringing peace back to the kingdom. During the credits, Sushie hops around on the [[Star Ship]].
 
[[Duplighost]]s and [[Lee]] can transform into Sushie along with Mario's other partners, in which case her name appears as "Sushie???"
 
====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Sushie appears as a [[Catch Card]] found on the eightieth floor of the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]], as well as on a photo in Mario's house.

“Uh-huh... Oh... Oh! You're going to the volcano because you want to save the princess from some bad guys? What...a touching story! Romantic stories like that... just touch a soft spot in this heart of mine. That does it! I can't let you go alone! I, Sushie, will be by your side until the end!”
Sushie, Paper Mario

Sushie is Mario's seventh party member in Paper Mario. She is a Cheep Cheep residing in Yoshi's Village on Lavalava Island.

Her pause menu description states that she "loves romantic stories and cries at the drop of a fin", implying that she is very sensitive and soft-hearted. However, according to the Yoshi children, she is very bossy. Her name is based on a combination of the common name of "Susie" and sushi. While she is a member of the Cheep Cheep species, Sushie looks very similar to a Spray Fish and her default move Squirt may have been inspired by it as well.

A wooden dock from which Mario can mount and dismount Sushie.

At Lavalava Island, Mario enters Yoshi's Village and sees Sushie watching over the Fearsome 5, a group of young Yoshis, as their babysitter. She thinks they are planning to do something dangerous, but cannot prove it. Once Mario returns to the village after visiting the entrance of the volcano, he finds that the Fearsome 5 are missing. A Yoshi tells him that Sushie chased after them into the Jade Jungle. As Mario enters the jungle, Sushie calls for his help from atop a tree. After he uses his hammer to knock her out of the tree, he tells Sushie that he is looking for the Yoshis as well. Sushie decides to team up with him to look for the Yoshis together.

When Sushie hears that Mario is going to Mt. Lavalava, she scolds him for planning to go to such a dangerous location. In response, Mario tells Sushie about his quest to save Princess Peach. Sushie says it is a very romantic story and joins the party. During the fight with Lava Piranha, Sushie's water attacks are quite helpful. Sushie's out-of-battle ability allows Mario to ride on her back to traverse bodies of water and dive to collect items and avoid obstacles. This ability can only be used while standing on wooden docks, and Mario and Sushie must return to the same wooden dock or find a different one in order to stop swimming.

Sushie has a daughter named Sashimie. During the game, Sashimie sends her mother a letter, stating that she is going to have a baby, meaning Sushie will soon be a grandmother. There is another letter to Sushie from Raphael the Raven at the Toad Town Post Office. In the ending, Sushie reads a letter inviting her to the party at Peach's Castle. When two of the Yoshi kids run by, she yells at them. At the party, Peach thanks Mario and his party members for bringing peace back to the kingdom. During the credits, Sushie hops around on the Star Ship.
