(Added section about Undodog telling jokes at the end of Story Mode. I checked all the Course Maker sound effects and the audience laughter doesn't appear to be there, but someone can correct the trivia if I'm wrong.)

'''Undodog''' (also referred to as '''Undo Dog''') is a helpful character in ''[[Mario Paint]]'', selectable as an icon in the bottom toolbox in the Art and Music modes. His appearance is that of a tan [[dog]] with a thin black box around his neck, like a collar, probably representing the outline of his icon. His name is a pun on the word "underdog", and a portmanteau of the words "undo" and "dog", and, as his name states, he helps the player undo the last action. He will also dance and jump around at the bottom of the screen when the player is idle in the stamp editor or drawing board color selection. He will quickly run back to his original location if the player moves the mouse. If the player turns the game's music off and leaves it silent, Undodog will sometimes sneeze loudly. According to the instruction manual for the game, this is because of his allergies. <ref>''"When you click on the icon shaped like a treble clef, you can access a control panel that will let you change the background music.

[[File:SMM EventCourseThumb Walkin with Undodog.jpg|thumb|left|Undodog as he appears in ''Super Mario Maker''.]]
==History==
He reappears in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' with the same function as his original appearance: reverting the player's last edit. In this appearance, he wears a white box resembling an [[wikipedia:Elizabethan collar|Elizabethan collar]] instead of a black box. He also appears throughout the game outside of the course editor such as in the game's manual with [[Mary O]] and [[Yamamura]], riding a rocket in the background in Course World and when a player completes the 10-Mario or 100-Mario Challenges, and in the corner during Gnat Attack. When 10 seconds remain on the timer in Gnat Attack, he'll start barking and jumping excitedly. If the player shakes the heart SFX, its icon will turn into Undodog wearing a surgical face mask. This SFX will cause static to appear briefly with a buzzing sound followed by the course's music turned off temporarily (or permanently, if it is equipped to Mario). The icon and the music being turned off is a throwback to ''Mario Paint'' where the bottom lever in the background music option has a similar appearance and effect when selected. A special [[List of official Super Mario Maker courses|event course]] titled "[[Walkin' with Undodog]]" also exists.

Undodog reappears in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' filling similar roles as in ''Super Mario Maker''. However, he also has a larger role in the game's story mode (appearing for the first time as a 3D model), providing [[Mario]] access to various jobs to help rebuild [[Peach's Castle]]. At the beginning of the story mode, Undodog excitedly jumps around and accidentally presses the [[Reset Rocket]] button on the ground, completely erasing Peach's Castle. At the end, after the castle is entirely rebuilt, Undodog goes over to the Reset Rocket again and looks at it happily while everyone gasps off-screen. It is unknown if Undodog erased the castle again or left the Reset Rocket alone. Undodog can also be seen in the background of nighttime levels in the snow theme riding the Reset Rocket.<ref>Nintendo (June 12, 2019).

Ten jokes in total are told, with most referencing several in-game Course Maker elements, highlighted in blue in the jokes. Once Undodog runs out of jokes, the player can hear a previous one again for free, chosen at random.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Undodog reappears in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its port]], namely as an icon that the player can select to undo a function, like before. Besides this, Undodog makes various other appearances: alongside [[Mary O.]] and [[Yamamura]]; riding a [[Reset Rocket]] in the background of Course World; when the player completes the 10-Mario or 100-Mario Challenge; and in the corner during [[Gnat Attack]], barking and jumping excitedly when only ten seconds remain. Shaking the heart SFX turns the icon into Undodog wearing a surgical face mask, creating a brief static with a buzzing sound followed by the course's music turned off temporarily or permanent instead if it is equipped to Mario, a throwback to ''Mario Paint'' where the bottom lever in the background music option has a similar appearance and effect when selected.

Undodog reappears in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. Undodog is the catalyst for the story mode's events, when he presses the [[Reset Rocket]] button on the ground accidentally, completely erasing [[Peach's Castle]]. He is still a supporting character, giving [[Mario]] access to various jobs to help rebuild the castle. Ironically, Undodog talks to Mario as if he were a pet, also referring to him as a "good boy," whilst Mario uses a canine onomatopoeia like "woof" and "bark". There is a scene in the ending where Undodog goes over to the Reset Rocket, looking at it happily while everyone gasps off-screen, but Undodog does not activate it. Most themes feature Undodog riding the Reset Rocket in the background of nighttime levels.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo|date=June 12, 2019|url=youtu.be/krW5kUKxI_8|title=Super Mario Maker 2 Gameplay Pt. 3 - Nintendo Treehouse: Live &#x7c; E3 2019|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 13, 2019}}{{timestamp needed}}</ref>
 
In the post-game, Undodog can be paid 100 coins to tell one of ten jokes, causing the music to fade out and the "Guffaw" sound effect to play. Most jokes reference several in-game Course Maker elements, which are emphasized in blue, and once Undodog has no more jokes left, the player can hear a random one again for free.

Undodog
SMM EventCourseThumb Walkin with Undodog.jpg
Species Dog
First appearance Mario Paint (1992)
Latest appearance Super Mario Maker 2 (2019)

Undodog (also formatted as Undo Dog) is a supporting character who debuts in Mario Paint. He is a big-headed tan colored dog with pointed ears and a collar-like square box around his neck. The box was originally black but was changed white from Super Mario Maker onward to resemble an Elizabethan collar. His name is a pun on the word "underdog", and a portmanteau of the words "undo" and "dog", since his main role is undoing actions done by the player.[1]

History[edit]

Mario Paint[edit]

Undodog
Sprite of Undodog (left) with his icon (right)

Undodog is selectable as an icon in the bottom toolbox in the Art and Music modes of Mario Paint. He dances and jump around at the bottom of the screen when the player is idle in the stamp editor or drawing board color selection. Undodog quickly returns to his original location if the player moves the mouse. If the player turns off the music and leaves it silent, Undodog will sometimes sneeze loudly, due to having allergies.[2]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS[edit]

Undodog reappears in Super Mario Maker and its port, namely as an icon that the player can select to undo a function, like before. Besides this, Undodog makes various other appearances: alongside Mary O. and Yamamura; riding a Reset Rocket in the background of Course World; when the player completes the 10-Mario or 100-Mario Challenge; and in the corner during Gnat Attack, barking and jumping excitedly when only ten seconds remain. Shaking the heart SFX turns the icon into Undodog wearing a surgical face mask, creating a brief static with a buzzing sound followed by the course's music turned off temporarily or permanent instead if it is equipped to Mario, a throwback to Mario Paint where the bottom lever in the background music option has a similar appearance and effect when selected. The Undodog costume can be unlocked by completing the event course "Walkin' with Undodog."

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

Undodog
The 3D model of Undodog introduced in the story mode of Super Mario Maker 2.

Undodog reappears in Super Mario Maker 2. Undodog is the catalyst for the story mode's events, when he presses the Reset Rocket button on the ground accidentally, completely erasing Peach's Castle. He is still a supporting character, giving Mario access to various jobs to help rebuild the castle. Ironically, Undodog talks to Mario as if he were a pet, also referring to him as a "good boy," whilst Mario uses a canine onomatopoeia like "woof" and "bark". There is a scene in the ending where Undodog goes over to the Reset Rocket, looking at it happily while everyone gasps off-screen, but Undodog does not activate it. Most themes feature Undodog riding the Reset Rocket in the background of nighttime levels.[3]

In the post-game, Undodog can be paid 100 coins to tell one of ten jokes, causing the music to fade out and the "Guffaw" sound effect to play. Most jokes reference several in-game Course Maker elements, which are emphasized in blue, and once Undodog has no more jokes left, the player can hear a random one again for free.

  • "Why are ? Blocks so good at holding power-ups? Because they have so mushroom inside!"
  • "Where do Bowser's minions keep their chickens? In a chicken koopa!"
  • "What do you call a sad Dry Bones? A Cry Bones!"
  • "Whaddaya call a four-legged ghost with antlers? A Scare-A-Boo!"
  • "Why didn't Mario enter the Pipe in the desert? Because it was PIPING HOT!"
  • "Why is the Angry Sun so angry? Somebody ate all of its desert!"
  • "What do you call an aspiring Mario Maker? An up-and-plumber!"
  • "I just told some of my jokes at a Ghost House. They kept shouting "BOO! BOOOOOOO!"
  • "Why didn't Bowser replace his cracked fishbowl? He's too Cheep Cheep!"
  • "Why did the Lakitu record itself catching a squid? For the Blooper reel!"

WarioWare series[edit]

Undodog cameos in the Mario Paint microgame of WarioWare: Touched! and in the Mario Paint microgame of WarioWare: D.I.Y., the latter depicting his icon.
