"Heartbeat Skipper"
- “I hate it! This song was overplayed the first time it hit the airwaves! They tried to make us love it by putting it on high rotation, but I'm not gonna fall for that. No way! Loop the best five seconds, put it in a car commercial, and throw the rest in the trash. I'm done with it!”

| Description | |
| "One of the DJ's sound discs. 'Heartbeat Skipper.'" | |
| First appearance | Paper Mario: The Origami King (2020) |
"Heartbeat Skipper" is a special item in Paper Mario: The Origami King. It is one of four discs found within the Temple of Shrooms, each belonging to DJ Toad. It is found in a chest on a high ledge with a blocked pipe. Mario must walk through the open sarcophagus in the west wall of the room where the first faceless Toad is found. Here, there is a pipe with the other side blocked off, and a chest containing the record. Much like "Deep, Deep Vibes" and "M-A-X Power!", collecting this disk is not mandatory, as it is not able to lure Hole Punch out of his room. However, the record can still be given to the DJ and played, even after the correct track, "Thrills at Night", has been chosen. After listening to this track for a few seconds, Hole Punch describes it as overrated and overplayed, with a distracting high rotation and only a few good seconds.
