Sling-a-Thing Toad

The Sling-a-Thing Toad (known as the Fling-a-Thing Toad in PAL regions of the game) is a purple-spotted Toad in Decalburg who runs the Sling-a-Thing (Fling-a-Thing in PAL versions) stand in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. His stand will open after Mario has collected the Fan Thing in Bouquet Gardens. His job is to convert Things into stickers for free. If Mario is out of Things and talks with the Sling-a-Thing Toad, he will tell Mario to check the wall near him, where the Shady Toad sells Things. The shopkeeper Toad of Decalburg gets jealous of him when he hears that a new shop has just opened. He frenquenty uses the word "perky", and his motto is "Stay perky".

When tattled, Kersti will comment: "This operation looks pretty shady/doggy, but I have to admit, the thing stickers are pretty amazing." A Red Toad at the Outlook Point runs the same business.

Quotes

North American Version

• Well, hi there!
• No, sir, you've gotta stay perky! And I got the perkiest idea EVER just a bit ago!
• Do that, and I can cook up a little miracle for you!
• Ah, look! You have a wonderful thing! My perk sensor can just tell.
• Now you just take a special thing, face the board in front of you, and sling it as hard as you can!
• Huh? Oh, sorry--it looks like you don't have enough space left in your album.
• So?! Pretty darn miraculous, huh?
• You come over here, you sling a thing, and HEY PRESTO! It becomes a sticker. I call it a "thing sticker" because I'm a bit of marketing genius.
• Mario, I've got to tell you… You are so lucky to experience this firsthand!
• How about that! Pretty perky, no? From now on, stickers don't have to be something you find… They can be something you make too.
• Whenever you find a special thing, you can turn it into a sticker here.
• Anyway, can't wait to see you again! Stay perky!
• Stay perky.

European Version

• Of course I'm right! You've got to be proactive, like me! I've been working on the greatest idea EVER!

• Hm…? Oh, sorry-it looks like you don't have enough space left in your album.
• So?! Pretty darn miraculous, eh?

Trivia

• Both "selling things" and "creating thing stickers" are heavily implied to be illegal, referencing real-life black markets.
