[[File:PM Chuck Quizmo quiz.png|thumb|left|Chuck Quizmo and his assistant [[Vanna T.]] quizzing [[Mario]]]]
Quizmo appears throughout ''Paper Mario'' in different towns and villages, and if [[Mario]] speaks with him, Quizmo will transport him to a stage and, along with his assistant [[Vanna T.]], ask Mario a question. If Mario answers Chuck's quiz correctly, he will be rewarded with a [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]], and if he answers wrong, he will receive nothing. In the latter case, the same question will be asked the next time Mario speaks with him, thereby still allowing the player to receive all the Star Pieces. After quizzing Mario, Quizmo will teleport away to a different location. In all, Quizmo will ask sixty-four questions, provided Mario makes the effort to find him and accept his quizzes.
Quizmo appears throughout ''[[Paper Mario]]'' in different towns and villages, and if [[Mario]] speaks with him, Quizmo will transport him to a game show-like stage and, along with his assistant [[Vanna T.]], ask Mario a question. If Mario answers Quizmo's quiz correctly, he will be rewarded with a [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]], and if he answers wrong, he will receive nothing. In the latter case, the same question will be asked the next time Mario speaks with him, thereby still allowing the player to receive all the Star Pieces. After quizzing Mario, Quizmo will teleport away to a different location. In all, Quizmo will ask sixty-four questions, provided Mario makes the effort to find him and accept his quizzes.


If Mario answers all of his questions correctly, Quizmo states that, now that he has found someone with all the answers, he can finally retire as quiz master. After Mario defeats [[Bowser]], Quizmo, along with Vanna T., can be seen in [[Toad Town]] outside the [[Toad Town Dojo|dojo]]; when spoken to, Quizmo will jokingly ask Mario if he wants to participate in another quiz before stating he is in Toad Town merely to attend the festival celebrating the defeat of the [[Koopa Troop]]. Quizmo can also be seen in the parade that plays during the ''Paper Mario'' credits, expelling fireworks from his hat.

In the original Japanese script of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and most translations of the game, the final [[Rogueport Direct Mail Service|RDM]] email [[List of e-mails in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#.22Surprise.21.22_section|mentions]] that Chuck Quizmo (revealed to be 44-years old) was set to return in a new quiz show named 『しょうじきものは　ダレだ！？』 ("''Who’s the Honest One!?''"), but it took so long in the planning stages that it did not come to fruition in the end. This is an allusion to the fact that he was [[list of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content|planned]] to make an appearance in the final game. The English translation of the game removed the portion of the email where Chuck Quizmo is mentioned, while the French translation substitutes his name with Vanna T.

“Chuck Quizmo's the name, and quizzes are my game! You want quizzes, I got 'em! If you can manage to answer my brain-busting questions correctly, then... Y... Yaa... Yaaaaaahooo! I'll give you a Star Piece! Want to try a quiz?”
—Chuck Quizmo, Paper Mario

Chuck Quizmo is a character in the Nintendo 64 game Paper Mario. A multi-colored worm wearing a yellow bow tie and a purple top hat, Chuck Quizmo hosts a quiz game which Mario can participate in to receive sixty-four Star Pieces. His name may be a reference to the game show host Chuck Woolery.

History[edit]

Paper Mario[edit]

Chuck Quizmo's first quiz in Paper Mario
Chuck Quizmo and his assistant Vanna T. quizzing Mario

Quizmo appears throughout Paper Mario in different towns and villages, and if Mario speaks with him, Quizmo will transport him to a game show-like stage and, along with his assistant Vanna T., ask Mario a question. If Mario answers Quizmo's quiz correctly, he will be rewarded with a Star Piece, and if he answers wrong, he will receive nothing. In the latter case, the same question will be asked the next time Mario speaks with him, thereby still allowing the player to receive all the Star Pieces. After quizzing Mario, Quizmo will teleport away to a different location. In all, Quizmo will ask sixty-four questions, provided Mario makes the effort to find him and accept his quizzes.

If Mario answers all of his questions correctly, Quizmo states that, now that he has found someone with all the answers, he can finally retire as quiz master. After Mario defeats Bowser, Quizmo, along with Vanna T., can be seen in Toad Town outside the dojo; when spoken to, Quizmo will jokingly ask Mario if he wants to participate in another quiz before stating he is in Toad Town merely to attend the festival celebrating the defeat of the Koopa Corps. Quizmo can also be seen in the parade that plays during the Paper Mario credits, expelling fireworks from his hat.

Other appearances and references[edit]

In the original Japanese script of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, most translations of the game, and the English version of the remake, the final RDM email mentions that Chuck Quizmo (revealed to be 44-years old in the original) was set to return in a new quiz show named HEY, Who's Fibbin'?!, but troubled production kept him too busy to be included in the adventure. This is an allusion to the fact that he was planned to make an appearance in the final game. The French translation substitutes his name with Vanna T.

In Super Paper Mario, one of the Sammer Guys is named "Quizmo Question That Has No Answer".

Goombario's tattle[edit]

  • He's Chuck Quizmo. He tries to quiz anybody who speaks to him. He pops up in various towns and villages, but that doesn't mean he's easy to find. What do you think his deal is? Personally, I'm a little more interested in his assistant. She's cute!
