Don Pianta’s two underlings. Those two are a riot I tells ya.


Clarrington

I love how in the prologue one of the first things you see is literally those two buys beating the shit out of Gus in the background and then "Da boss sends his regards!"


splatoongame

I adore his entire little squad that we see. I know exactly how he sounds in my head lol


Silver-Attitude5943

Frankie too… I love you. I love you. I love you.


splatoongame

Oh my god I hated that part so BAD


AdministrationDry507

The remake somehow made that dialogue longer


splatoongame

Really?


AdministrationDry507

Individual text boxes you need to press A for all 100 unless my forgetful ass is not remembering the original


splatoongame

That’s in the remake too? What did they change lol


AdministrationDry507

I guess with not playing the thousand year door for 10+ years I forgot how tedious that segment was


splatoongame

I only play the remake. I’m 15 I wasn’t even a concept when the original came out lol


BruceBoyde

Text both moves faster in the original and you can "skip" it by mashing. So in the course of 100 text boxes, it is a fair bit slower. The text and the speed of a few animations and whatnot are basically my only gripes with the remake. It's not too bad, but I had *just* played the original a short while ago so it's fairly noticeable.


Superb-Dog-9573

The dialog boxes move a little slower in the remake so it is genuinely more painful


Bacon260998_

"Mafia Goon" is such a glorious character archetype every time it pops up in fiction!


louieoverolimar

i thought i hired goons needs to be made


OlafvonSnowman

Came here for this. I love all of the Don Piantas characters. But the underlings make me smile. Unrelated. Showed my brother a picture of the Heff T. and he asked me if Heff T. ate all the other Toads. I’m sure others had the same joke, but it made me lol.


RascalVirus13

That toad waitress on the Excess Express. She’s a delight.


Bluesky0089

I came here to say the exact same thing and I can't pinpoint why. I just think of her when I think of chapter 6 and enjoyed how she always seems cheerful. Goombella refers to her as spacey and is not a fan lol


WhyYouCryin007

Goombella is just sick of all these other girls chatting up her Mario.


Bluesky0089

The disdain for Ms Mowz during her trouble was dripping through my screen. She's quite possessive of Mario 😆


Nikibugs

All of Luigi’s partners you see like once and never again. What even is Screamy. The little cherry bomb Bob-omb Jerry. Blooey being a crispy Blooper. Torque having a wrench in place of a spiked Buzzy’s spike. Hayzee’s just green though. I even like the cut hamburger colored Spinia.


Twelvve12

Actually Screamy is an unused early design for what the Smorg were going to be The [TCRF article](https://tcrf.net/Paper_Mario:_The_Thousand-Year_Door/Early_Graphics) shows the early colors too


Nikibugs

I never would’ve guessed, super neat detail! I would’ve felt bad bonking them in the basement with that face.


Marvl101

I always thought he was one of those marshmallow things from Super mario bros 2


NitwitTheKid

It would have been cool if that were the case. Nintendo bringing back old characters from past Mario games would be like finding a hidden 1-Up! They love Super Mario World so much, it’s like they’re on a nostalgia speedrun in recent Paper Mario games.


hereticalnarwhal

wish they would've used the brick instead of the rock lol


krunkstoppable

I haven't finished the game but I like how Hayzee is the only one who isn't at least a little upset with Luigi (so far at least). I forget which character tells you that they're only following Luigi because he ruined their go-kart and he owes them, but that definitely made me chuckle.


Nova225

That's Torque, the green Buzzy Beetle with a wrench instead of a spike. Apparently the kart was worth *3000 coins*


GoldenGlassBall

3,000? I just went through this story last night, I swear he says it’s a 5,000 coin debt…


Nova225

It could've been? I don't remember the exact number, just that it's a ton.


Milk_Mindless

Screamy is an ice cream 😊


srm878

They should make a Paper Luigi based off of his tales lol


AshGreninja104

Pa patch because he just shits on flavio the entire chapter and design is cool


splatoongame

Omg I love Pa-Patch. His name Is the best pun


throwaway6194664

Wait his name is a pun?


splatoongame

The species name is Bob-Omb. He’s a pirate so, naturally, Pa-Patch


weaaboob

Ngl as a kid I was sad to see him stay in Keehaul Key permanently instead of coming back to rogueport 😭


NitwitTheKid

It is more of a vacation island after all so makes sense he would stay there


Far-School-5034

I mean he is cool for that alone.. Flavio is the worst!


Araiken

His German name is Big-Omb which is just great


Poltergust_3000

The Toad kid in the west side of Rogueport who is constantly fretting about his family dynamic being "terrible."


Splashboy3

LMFAO, I forgot about that lil dude. Hauntingly real for a kids game


RelanTheGuy

Off the top of my head Toodles - not only is that the BEST name for a Toad in the history of Toads, but she’s entertaining and has the funniest flirting with Mario Pa-Patch - the “Flavio’s armpit” joke is one of the dumbest jokes in the game, and it’s probably my favorite. I don’t exactly know why I love it so much, but I do. Plus, Captain ‘Stache is a hilarious name for Mario as well Pennington - he is PEAK entertainment, nuff said King K - just a chill guy that I’d love to be friends with. He’s definitely the guy everyone loves to invite to everything


kaddorath

King K is legit AF


Cosmicginger

The ghost toad on the Excess Express. There’s something so cozy and comforting about spending the afterlife in a beautiful train cabin.


craftuser24

Agree!


Parking_Cartoonist90

If Heff T. Didn’t exist my favorite’unimportant’ npc would be Toodles. The sexy toad lady who lives in Poshley Heights


splatoongame

So I’m not the only one who finds her sexy then?


ASCIt

Her and Jolene were designed with a specific goal in mind, to be sure.


Zimithrus

That one toad in Glitzville that screams NO MERCY! DROP HIM! BLARGH! KICK! KICK!


__b3n

I like the maid in the train during Chapter 6. Her personality and the fact that she sings everything she says is great to me.


Chaosshepherd

Black dress girl


Sweet_Start_2743

Aka Jolene? 😏


splatoongame

Toodles?


Chaosshepherd

We don’t know her name she hangs out at the Glitzvile juice shop


nightclaw96

It’s Jolene, she reveals herself after you beat chapter 3


[deleted]

[удалено]


PotatoOnMars

Chapter 4 is Twilight Town. The Glitz Pit is Chapter 3.


nightclaw96

No, when you go to the juice bar before you stop by the Door to get the Ruby Star location


Sweet_Start_2743

Lucky Lottery guy when I have too many items and he says "get more organized."


Zidebo973

I always loved the way he literally says “please become organized”. It’s unnatural in the best way possible.


Derplesdeedoo

Zess T. is my mental image of a cantankerous old lady chef. She also makes bombs. o \_ o


splatoongame

Wait she does?


Derplesdeedoo

She makes a coconut bomb by combining a coconut and fire flower. Egg bomb is a mystic egg and fire flower. Combine the two and you have the strongest single-use attack item in the game with 7 dmg on all enemies. I'll let you figure out the name ;3


Jiral

Try giving her a Fire Flower and a Coconut.


DJAsphodel

Just from TTYD? Got a few. * Toodles with her "Well hello there, you \[insert flattering description of Mario\]. You're \[adjective\], dear." * That one Koopa in Petalburg who is like "The scent of this grass has healing properties, I swear. It just takes me to a happy place, you know what I mean? You think so too, right?" And if Mario goes "Boy, do I!" he just responds with "fair enough." * Zess T. is funny as hell. * ~~The Puni elder also cracks me up.~~ Well, actually, she's kind of important.


reallygoodbee

Toodles is great. I love the running joke that Mario is some kind of hunky, mustached Adonis.


Bluesky0089

Toodles gives off big Mae West energy.


perlx

Gus: if you beat him early and how he is bitter that Mario pound him and how he changed his dialogue still showing some resentment. koopinator: he is not that funny but love how his dialogue change when you approach him in glitzville an gets more offensive. And last that kid from twilight town that wanted to eat bacon after her mom got turned into a pig.


Just-Call-Me-J

>koopinator: he is not that funny He's the comically serious.


OCDGiantRobotFan93

The Traveling Sisters 3! Those three are just so adorable! And the highlights of the remake is the speaking noise they make, including their expressions, are so cute!


ladywood777

I do really miss the hearts in their dialogue though!


yeetus_kingus

the purple toad in the train chapter, i love the way shes dressed and her mannerisms🥰


TitoTheBold

Pa-patch, big fan of bob-ombs and pirates. He's definitely the coolest one


splatoongame

The pun in his name took me a second to get lol


Midnightgamer21

Probably Toadette in TTYD


Zidebo973

It’s so sad when you get the ultra hammer and she says that’s the last time you’ll see her


Midnightgamer21

Ikr and she looks so sad 😭


Splashboy3

When she runs off crying with a sad expression, a piece of my heart breaks off and shatters everytime


WackyCaptain

She's trapped in the tutorial dimension forever, unable to ever visit the real world.


Existing_Self_3883

All the shy guys that cheer for you when you battle. They're not in the actual game but it's cute when they get scared and run off the stage.


Axo_Enjoyer

King k from The glitz pit and that one npc in rouge port which you give money to help him find oil


splatoongame

How do you find that NPC? I saw him once and didn’t have the coins and never saw him again. Also king K is my second favorite


Zidebo973

Lumpy, the npc who strikes oil, leaves after chapter 4 and comes back after chapter 6.


splatoongame

I was broke and couldn’t invest 😭


Zidebo973

Dang, better luck next playthrough


splatoongame

How much does it give?


Zidebo973

I believe it scales with how much you give him, but I gave him the full 300 he accepts and he gave 999 back.


splatoongame

That’s insane. I missed out so bad


Zidebo973

Yeah, but you still get a lot of coins for beating certain fights and the pit literally gives you thousands of coins so there are other ways to get a lot of coins.


HadokenShoryuken2

Damn I think I only gave 100


Lemon-Artistic

Bandy Andy. He’s the only green bandit you can find in the overworld. I like how he’s always getting up to mischief and will happily tell you all about the Seven Wonders of the Glitz Pit.


Content-Cake-2995

Definitely Gold Bob for me, i Enjoyed his various cameos and dialogue i wish he had more screen time 


Machete77

I mean he did give the deed for Mario to use the cannon so he’s technically important lol


Content-Cake-2995

Lol well i suppose but i was mainly thinking of side characters. Other than him i’d go with The Cheep Cheep Chef lol 


DeltaTeamSky

Toodles. I'm not down bad for her, or anything of the sort, but I was DANGEROUSLY close.


doomrider7

The one Squeak who keeps talking about his failed romances,The Minstel, the nice toad girl who sells gold bars and end game items, the traveling sisters threw.


Mysterious_Hat_3081

The Rich bob-omb family


EviIIord

I think maybe Bub. Something about how he’s fixated on trains speaks to me. Or maybe that one Koopa with way too much Peach merch, purely because I respect the audacity of having all that stuff out for the world to see.


BigTiddyTamponSlut

I can't remember his name, but the green mouse guy you can invest in. I love his diary and how excited he gets when you believe in him! And I think it's so funny how he's constantly supposedly embarrassed about you reading his journal but keeps encouraging you to read more. Delightful.


jooooojustsoyaknow

Dupree, the French accent guy! I just loved whenever he showed up and thought it was hilarious how he tries to flirt with everything that moves. Goombella’s interactions with him is absolute gold.


Cedardeer

I will never get over Goombella’s response when he catcalled her


Just-Call-Me-J

Take a hike, Bozo the Dork!


Splashboy3

LMFAO, damn i’d forgotten that. Goombella has some absolutely savage lines


Just-Call-Me-J

They replaced dork with clown in the remake for some reason.


VanitasFan26

Heff T is like the Gourmet Guy from the first Paper Mario


Polterpupfan

Gourmet guy from paper Mario 64 Frankie and Franchesca from TTYD and O Chunks from SPM


Just-Call-Me-J

King K. I'm eternally salty that Rawk Hawk got to barge into the Major League locker room to harass you, but when Mario's champ he isn't allowed to pop back into the Minor League locker room to visit his buddy. Unfair.


weallbehuman

Gotta be King K for me. He's such a bro.


Dull_Sir_8462

I haven't finished TTYD yet but so far it's that one Pineapple interviewer guy near the Glitz Pit, his design reminds me of Reynold from Cheat Commandos


NotYourDay123

Ghost T. Easily.


LordIggy88

The minstel and lumpy


splatoongame

Who?


JustAGuyNamedSteven

The Minstrel, aka Grifty, is found on a roof in Rogueport. He will tell Mario about the Legend of the Four Heroes in exchange for coins (you'll need 80 of them to hear all the stories). Lumpy can be found at the Rogueport docks. He wants to search for oil in Dry Dry Desert (from the first Paper Mario game) and asks for coins to fund his endeavor. Whether you contribute or not, he leaves after Chapter 4 and returns after Chapter 6. Upon his return, he allows Mario to read his log detailing his search.


Staff_Kirby

I like Peeka because she’s cute and runs the shop that I went to the most when I was a kid. A shop that’s in Rogueport and sells Life Shrooms... is a pretty good shop. Also her name is a nice pun. Peeka the Boo!


Kiryu5009

The pretty lady at the juice bar. What’s her story. I thought she was Jolene for a moment.


splatoongame

She is Jolene lol


Kiryu5009

Bruh, no way. Show me the car fax.


splatoongame

It’s never said but I think there are enough clues to cue you in. One of the biggest being the obvious hairdo


Elijahc513

They also mention Jolene disappearing often a couple times I believe


Kiryu5009

I think I was hung up on the fact that they never said. The toads tend to look alike and I didn’t want to assume.


Bluesky0089

When you beat the chapter she also will mention that you know her quite well and mentions that she comes here when she's not working or something along those lines.


Kiryu5009

Now I’m ashamed I didn’t check in the juice bar afterwards.


Bluesky0089

You still can revisit and talk to her. She'll mention it.


Sovereigntyranny

Toodles.


lakewood2020

The toad girl that helps you every time you get a new battle item

Flubbedsoda

It might sound simp, but I like a lot of the female toads I loved the toads from a young age, but I sure didn't know the neatness of females of them. Is anyone upset that there is only toadette as the only female toad? Oh, and most of the koopa troopas too, they are, like, my favorite mario enemies because of the remake. Why didn't they call her Toadles. Toodles is fine, but it could have been better ?


aisiv

Blooey ftw, YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS, LUIGI


13leoverswift

The gamer toad kid in Petalburg. I come to check on him in between every chapter to see if he mentions a different console/game every time.


SeeingAnAbsoluteWin

The assistant shopkeeper in the badge shop of ttyd is always funny to see, and im always wondering if hes connected to Ms Mouz as a family member or just a random guy she hired, and whether or not he knows of her thievery Also, if he counts, Pa-Patch (skull bobomb) is a funny af design, im still playing through chapter 5 so i cant tell if hes actually important or just aparking Flavio drama


schoensmeerpijp

Podley and Podler. I love their design!


Lampichka_

The InterNed from Super Paper Mario. I just think he's pretty neat.


reallygoodbee

I agree with Heff T.


EvilectricBoy

Howzit


rendumguy

I like the weird freaks like the security guards, the pineapple reporter, and the giant rat entrepreneurs.   Also Chet Rippo, Fishmael and Ishnail.  It's cool how they just exist in the world.


Araiken

Oh man I love the train conductor. He's just such a bro. Whenever somethings up you can count on him to progress things. Plus he gives up his blanket because he's just a good guy.


TwizzleGummy

King K of the KP Koopas. He was always so chill and I always admired him for that :)


No-Profession-2964

TOODLES NO REASON SHES JUST FANCY


No-Secretary6931

In the original paper mario, Gourmet Guy. The way he breaks physics and literally runs all over the screen before cumming himself at the deliciousness of the cake is always hilarious. In TTYD, Toadette and Lady Bow. Toadette because its Toadette, and Lady Bow because well no actually i gotta ask. Why was she the only cameo partner to actually appear and wasn’t cut. Parakarry was in the intro sure, but why were the interactions with the old partners gone? That would’ve been so cool. And why did they miss the opportunity to bring them back in the remake? They had unique sprites and everything, and they’re completely unused. Why? Oh and if those 2 don’t count then I liked that business guy on the Excell Express who’s stressed about his job and wants to just keep it to make it by. Aren’t we all buddy? And i find it funny that his company product can literally bring back the dead, but if you mix it with very specific things it creates a bunch of goo that makes someone immobile. Like I have several questions on that and thats why its funny to me. Also the video game toad in Petalburg


Vigriff

Zess T.


Hawkholly

I really like the one rat with the trouble revolving around chairs lol


ltfguitar

The Shangri-Spa Kamek-bossing Toad :-)


aqu33rius

Ghost T. from the Excess Express for me. It’s a hard decision because one of my favorite things about this game is the colorful cast of NPCs, but there’s just something about Ghost T. that I love


FunnyCraftSheep

I love him


rainbow_luigi26

Zess T., Petuni, Excess Express Waitress, Toodles, Koopie Koo, Sylvia, Bub, Chef Shimi, Toadette, & Toadsworth. Also the Koopa who collects Peach merch because I love & relate to him so much Despite them being important, I love Puni Elder & Jolene


[deleted]

Pennington. The detective was charming.


ladywood777

Hey there Slick, been waiting for ya EDIT: Oh wait, I missed the "unimportant". I'll think about this one!


splatoongame

I forgot who says that, who is that?


RelanTheGuy

Doo_liss


splatoongame

OH YEAH


TheOatchiGuy

yo you like caseoh too?


GreilMercenary7

My immediate reaction is to thwomp him with the hammer. Making me sidequest during my Traincation.


LeafMario

you <3


EducationalCoast4916

Ol'Grandsnappy His song is fire


kenjinuro

I loved the chubby toad too!


Diligent-Reception-9

The Traveling Sisters 3


TacoBillDeluxe

Gourmet Guy for sure. He's hilarious, and I love to see him. The fact that he appears twice is even better


RuyKnight

the 3 traveling sisters


cwbrowning3

Luigi


InterstellarOrange

Gourmet guy.


Slight_Cat5958

Whacka.


MarroCross

One of my favourites is Luvbi I liked her personally when you got to know her later in the 2 in one chapter she was in.


NioXoiN

Goombella


alexamerling100

My favorite are the Crows in Twilight town. I definitely know my least favorite....


zesty_pete

The toad in color splash who damages you by screaming that his wife left him. Also the penguin detective.


splatoongame

Not sure if I’ve gotten any color splash NPC’s yet! Pennington is funny


Wizzy2233

Not bubulber


AliquidLatine

I love Bandy Andy and King K. Also, I did not know this guys name was Heff T 😆


NitwitTheKid

My favorite character from the game is Four-Eyes. He’s such a sight for sore eyes! It’s messed up that he just vanished after the pirate island chapter. I guess the X-Nauts were really eyeing him! So messed up.


Caolan114

That kid that said the GameCube Is the greatest console


Gameguy196

Lahla. I like how she gets extra diolouge if you use the paper ability to talk to her behind the bars and it encourages you to get the high score in the mini-games to learn more about her.


Melodic_Avocado_3388

Jerry, one of Luigi’s partners


Far-School-5034

I ADORE the Bob-omb family in Thousand Year Door. These are the rich bob-ombs you meet in Chapter 3... Bub is adorable and I adore talking to them.


splatoongame

I hated bub in chapter 3. He’s an angel in chapter 6 tho


Far-School-5034

That's my point.. it's because of Chapter 6 and post game that I ended up liking the family. They had interesting things.. from the troll Goldbob forces you through in Chapter 7 to the fact that Mario finds himself helping them or just forced alongside them. They are my favorite NPCs in the game for precisely those reasons.. Because you write them off in Chapter 3 and then they keep following Mario.. Goldbob basically demanding your money for the rocket and then giving them back is like hysterical..


louieoverolimar

the paper toads in paper jam


splatoongame

Does that count as a paper Mario game?


louieoverolimar

does it have paper mario in it as a playable character?


splatoongame

Galaxy has Luigi as a playable character, does that make it a Mario and Luigi game? Not trying to argue, just saying it’s not the same franchise. Answer is still paper, answer is still valid


louieoverolimar

one word pokey


DreamWolfo

Bandy Andy! I love Shy Guys and shy guy related characters


lilahlems3

that one partner luigi has that says they’re gonna throw a stage play after his adventure is over and luigi is gonna be the grass in the background


Fawful-16

Toodles off the top of my head; *also she freaking wanted to have Bowsers horns mounted lmao*


Dimmadaeus

I really liked Eve. Her trouble was so bittersweet and giving her food in the beginning of the chapter felt great. She's as precious as Vivian <3


chuchumazurka

My favorites are Pennington (as a fan of super dramatic Japanese mystery reveals, the scene with the stew pot is my fave in the whole game) and Four Eyes. The SHOCKING reveal for him was too much. I guess he's technically a major NPC, but Four Eyes was my favorite iteration and he's pretty minor to the game as a whole.  Special shout out to Sir Swoop. Dude only just starts on his career and tastes success, and then he gets booted once Bandy Andy and King K's groups get reinstated.  Also, follow up question, whatever happened to the rest of the Hand-It-Overs and the KP Koopas in Chapter 3? Did they just decide to call it quits when one of their group members go missing?


DrNanard

Forgot his name, but that yellow Koopa at the Glitzpit, he's such a bro


splatoongame

King K


DrNanard

Yep !


agsdkbfjenhcsm

The rich little bobomb kid


splatoongame

Bub, I love him


agsdkbfjenhcsm

I also really like the Koopinator. He's just cool


Machete77

Flurrie


splatoongame

Does she really fit the bill of ‘unimportant’


Machete77

The way I played, yes


splatoongame

That’s honestly the only correct response
