Niff T. is a Toad who owns his own shop, located next to an inn in the town of Petalburg during the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Niff T.'s name is a pun on the word "nifty."

He partakes in Plenn T.'s trouble when Plenn T. asks Mario to help him restock by finding five Courage Shells which Mario can buy at Niff T.'s shop. His shop is mentioned in the Rogueport Direct Mail Service premiere issue when it is revealed that he has been the most eligible bachelor of Petalburg, but he is actually rumored to be in love with the Toad girl running the inn.
