Pixl
Pixls are a ally species of Mario and company. Their first, and currently only, appearance is in Super Paper Mario. In this game, the Pixls teach Mario, Peach, and Bowser special moves, like picking up people and throwing them. Nintendo Power volume 214 has stated that some Pixls will serve as explosives or act as a floating platform for Mario or another character to jump on. There are currently several known Pixls, but only seven have official names, which are Thoreau, Tippi, Boomer, Slim, Carrie, Thudley, and Fleep. In many images, it is seen that a character has two Pixls out at one time. Tippi is always active.
Each Pixl is very bright and has it's own unique shape. Tippi looks like a butterfly and Thoreau is a square with five small circles on it's top half. Boomer resembles a Bob-omb with wings.
