'''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 Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Pieces]]. His name may be a reference to the game show host {{wp|Chuck Woolery}}.
'''Chuck Quizmo''' is a character in the [[Nintendo 64]] game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. A multi-colored worm wearing a yellow bowtie and a top hat, Quizmo appears throughout ''Paper Mario'' in different towns, 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)|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.
==History==
===''Paper Mario''===
[[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 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 will state that, now that he has found someone with all the answers, he can finally retire as quizmaster. 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 Troop]]. Quizmo can also be seen in the parade that plays over the ''Paper Mario'' credits, expelling fireworks from his hat.

===Other appearances and references===
In the original Japanese script of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', most translations of the game, and the English version of the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], the final [[Mailbox SP#"Special Final Issue!" section|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 ''[[List_of_implied_entertainment#HEY.2C_Who.27s_Fibbin.27.3F.21|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 [[list of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content|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 Guy]]s is named "[[List of Sammer Guys#Quizmo Question That Has No Answer|Quizmo Question That Has No Answer]]".

*[[Luigi]], a [[Ninjakoopa]], [[Yoshi]] and [[Jr. Troopa]] can be seen among the audience.
*In the Japanese version of ''Paper Mario'', some of the wrong answers for Chuck Quizmo's Questions are different than that of the English version:
*Chuck Quizmo's quiz was the beginning of the running gag of quizzes in the ''[[Paper Mario (disambiguation)|Paper Mario]]'' series taking place in a game show stage, despite Mario never moving from where he found Quizmo (such as [[Koopa Village]]).  This quiz also had the first audience in a ''Paper Mario'' game, though it had no function.
**Question #1: The wrong answer choice "クリスチーヌ" was later used for Goombella's Japanese name in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. Its English equivalent is "Goombette", a name later used for [[Goombette|a female Goomba character]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.
*In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', a [[Sammer Guy]] named "Quizmo Question That Has No Answer" appears as an obvious reference to Chuck Quizmo.
**Question #19: The wrong answer choice "ノコタロウ" was later used for Koops' Japanese name in ''The Thousand-Year Door''. Its English equivalent is "Koopa Krab".
*[[MC Ballyhoo]] from ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' bears a resemblance to Chuck Quizmo, mostly because of the huge hats the two characters wear.
**Question #32: The wrong answer choice "ドガボン" is the Japanese name for Tubba Blubba. Its English equivalent is "Jr. Troopa".
*Chuck Quizmo asks a total of 64 questions. This is likely a reference to the [[Nintendo 64]], but it may also be due to the fact that numbers in multiples of eight (such as 64, which is eight times eight) can be stored more efficiently in the electronic bytes which make up the game.
**Question #60: The wrong answer choice "こいびと" means lovers in Japanese. Its English equivalent is "Neighbors".

“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".
