The Pigarithm is an enemy in Super Paper Mario. Its name is a play on "pig" and "logarithm". The Pigarithm is made up of three green piggy banks connected to one another. Each time it is attacked, one of the piggy banks is removed, making it smaller and faster. When the last one is destroyed, the player earns a large amount of coins. They appear in the Whoa Zone and the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials.
