*[[Podler]] in [[Glitzville]].
*The [[Puni]] at the entrance of [[the Great Tree]].

==Trivia==
==Gallery==
General White could be a reference to a character in the Dragon Ball manga and anime named General White, antagonist in the Red Ribbon saga. While noteworthy as the DBZ General does predate the Paper Mario General, this is likely a coincidence as their appearance, persona, and role in their respective stories are dissimilar.
