One thousand years before the events in the show, his ship, for unexplained reasons, sank, killing him. Every one hundred years afterward, his ghost will rise out of the ocean and deliver to everyone a letter containing "the curse of the double doubloon"; the letter, which is actually a description of the curse, states that anybody who reads it twice will cause the [[Crystal Coconut]] to lose its power and the island to sink into the ocean.

During this period of his life, Swob writes about his marriage on a rock on the fiftieth floor of [[Rogueport]]'s [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]. He also writes that he wants to have 22 children, so his family can play soccer matches. He believes that any wish written on the fiftieth floor of the Pit will come true. He uses a "special big explosion" to get down to the fiftieth floor and writes the graffiti so fiercely that it would be almost impossible to remove. When he finds out that this is a hoax, he files a request at the [[Trouble Center]]. Mario accepts the trouble and has [[Admiral Bobbery]] destroy the wall after reading the wish.

Her name is a pun on "Bob-omb" and "[[Wikipedia:Bobolink|bobolink]]", a species of blackbird.

==Bog Monster==
The '''Bog Monster''' is an apparently horrific creature that, according to [[Klump (character)|Klump]], eats everything in sight. It resides in the [[Forbidden Forest]] on [[Donkey Kong Island|Kongo Bongo Island]], as stated in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' cartoon. As it is never seen, the only physical description given is in the lyrics to one of the songs in an, in which it is described as a monster having crystal skin, giant claws, dripping fangs, beady red eyes, stinky breath that could knock over a rhino, hair full of maggots, ears dripping something yellow, and arms thicker than a tree. Of course, this is when [[Donkey Kong]] saw it and that was [[Cranky Kong]] disguised as a Bog Monster, so this may not be an accurate description.

In the ''Donkey Kong Country'' episode "[[Bug a Boogie]]", it is revealed that Donkey Kong secretly feared the Bog Monster, as, when he was young, Cranky Kong told him that if he ventured into the Forbidden Forest, the Bog Monster would get him; one day, Donkey Kong disobeyed Cranky Kong and decided to go into the Forbidden Forest, only to encounter and subsequently be scared by a Bog Monster. It is later revealed to Donkey Kong by Cranky Kong that he had, in actuality, simply made up the story of the Bog Monster, and that it was him who scared Donkey Kong when he entered the Forbidden Forest, wanting to teach Donkey Kong a lesson in disobeying him.

Oddly, it seems the Bog Monster may have been an actual creature, since, at the end of "Bug A Boogie", Klump and [[Krusha (character)|Krusha]], while trying to help [[King K. Rool]] out of a pit of quicksand he was stuck in, heard a monstrous roar in the Forbidden Forest, seemingly the Bog Monster.

[[Diddy Kong]] also has the talent of mimicking the roar of one, while [[Funky Kong]] apparently growls like one when he sleeps.

==Bowser's father==
[[File:Bowser-moustache-portrait.png|thumb|A possible portrait of Bowser's father in the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]] of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'']]
'''Bowser's father''' was briefly mentioned by him in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' issues "[[Bedtime for Drain-Head]]" and "[[The Buddy System]]". As Bowser's father was only mentioned in passing, not much is known about him, except that he was supposedly a criminal on the run, as Bowser told the captured [[Toad]] that he hoped to see his father on the television program "[[List of implied entertainment#Kingdom's Most Wanted|Kingdom's Most Wanted]]", which is seemingly a parody of ''{{wp|America's Most Wanted}}'', a show dedicated to helping catch criminals.

Additionally, Bowser also mentioned that his father was the one who taught him the life lesson "Son, when you put your mind to it, there's no problem too big to run away from!". [[Bowser's mother|Mama Koopa]] is another non-game character who could have been married to Bowser's father.

In the ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' arc in the ''[[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Super Mario]]'' Kodansha manga series, [[Kamek]] is depicted taking orders from [[Baby Bowser]]'s father, who hides in the palace's shadows, until it is revealed to be [[Raphael the Raven]] in disguise, à la the {{wp|Wizard of Oz (character)|Wizard of Oz}}, under the orders of the actual king, who has gone to "have fun" (according to Kamek).

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', an ambiguous portrait that resembles Bowser with a moustache appears in one of his castles, possibly being his father.

==Bowser's grandfather==
'''Bowser's grandfather''' is a character mentioned by Bowser in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. In the quest [[Bowser: Accused!]], Bowser states that the clock in [[Bowser Mansion|his mansion]] belonged to his "grandpappy". It is unknown if that is true.

==Bowser's sister==
{{quote|You remind me of my kid sister<br>She read so much, she got a blister<br>A big one, I mean big<br>On her brain, what a shnook!|Bowser|"Ignorance is Bliss"}}
'''Bowser's sister''' is one of Bowser's family members. She is only mentioned in the song "[[Ignorance is Bliss]]" when Bowser likens Peach to his sister because they both enjoy reading, which he views disparagingly. According to Bowser, his sister got a blister on her brain from all her reading.

==Breadward==
'''Breadward''' is a [[Pixl]] that was mentioned by [[Mimi]] in ''Super Paper Mario''. Mimi (disguised as [[Merlee]]) attempts to swindle Mario and Princess Peach into signing a paper and earning the [[Pure Heart]] in exchange for some [[Rubee]]s. If Mario and Peach refuse to sign the paper four times, she offers them Breadward, which she claims is made from "oats and lard". It is not known if Breadward actually exists, however.

==Britney==
'''Britney''' is the lead female character in ''[[Toad Force V]]'', an implied action TV show mentioned several times in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''; Britney herself is only brought up briefly by [[Mushbert]] in the mission [[DVD for Me]].

One of the few things known about Britney is that she surpasses the hero of ''Toad Force V'', [[Jack (character)|Jack]], in popularity among the show's fanbase, presumably making her the most popular character in the series. She is Jack's sidekick, and together they are the only known members of the Toad Force V group of protagonists. It is possible that she, like many other characters on the show, is a robotic Toad, but this is theoretical as she is simply identified as a "Heroine", and nothing more.

==Buzzo==
'''Buzzo''' is a character of unknown species addressed by both [[Laki]]'s and [[#Koopla|Koopla]]'s graffiti writings in [[Merlee's Basement]] in ''Super Paper Mario''. Both of them express their love for Buzzo and each other in their messages.

==Cabin Proprietor==
The '''Cabin Proprietor''' is a character that owns the cabin found at near the starting point of [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. On a sign outside the cabin is a message from the proprietor telling the player that they can enter the cabin by leaping down into the chimney, alluding to [[Santa Claus]].

==The Cannoli clan==
[[File:WMODE10GoodstyleHuman.png|thumb|The first family member of the Cannoli clan]]
'''The Cannoli clan''' is a family of thieves mentioned by [[Count Cannoli]] many times in ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]''. They have been thieves for many generations. Count Cannoli and [[Goodstyle]], who is actually the very first Cannoli, are the only family members seen in the game.

It is known that Goodstyle has been passed down in the family and that each family member has had their own machine (Cannoli had the [[Mad Hat Mk. I]]) and that each machine had a weakness. The [[Mad Hat Mk. II]] has been protecting the Cannoli family for generations, and is probably the whole family's machine.

==C. Parmesan==
'''C. Parmesan''' is a book author implied in the [[Study (Luigi's Mansion)|Study]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. In this room, there is a book titled ''Darkness is Their Cheese'', which clues the player about the hidden [[cheese]] found in various rooms throughout the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|mansion]], which spawn [[Gold Mouse|Gold Mice]] when examined with the [[Game Boy Horror]]. C. Parmesan's name is a reference to {{wp|Parmigiano-Reggiano|parmesan}}, a type of cheese.

==C.S. Booois==
'''C.S. Booois''' is the author of the book ''Basic Game Info'' found in [[The Bookshelf]] in [[The Lab (Flash game)|the Lab]] on the ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' microsite. Their name is an allusion to English author {{wp|C. S. Lewis}}.

==The Cap'n==
'''The Cap'n''' is a character that is mentioned in ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake, ''Super Mario 64 DS''. In a cavern accessible by swimming through an underwater tunnel past the ship in [[Jolly Roger Bay]], there is a sign with a message from the Cap'n stating that anybody who enters will "meet certain disaster." At the end of the cavern, another sign near a group of [[treasure chest]]s contains a second message from the Cap'n, this time stating that to obtain his treasure, the player must open the treasure chests in the correct order, but does not explain what the order is. Opening the chests reveals that the Cap'n's "treasure" is the Power Star for the [[Treasure in the Ocean Cave|third mission]].

As the word "cap'n" is simply short for the word "captain", the title has been used in other ''Super Mario'' games; an example of this is in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', where the captain of the [[S.S. Chuckola]] is referred to as "Cap'n" in one line of dialogue.

==Chief Quimby==
'''Chief Quimby''' is the chief of the Metro City police department. He regularly sends [[Inspector Gadget]] out on missions to stop Dr. Claw and his MAD Agents from pulling off evil schemes.

Chief Quimby, who was only ever referred to as "The Chief", had a minor role on ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', in the live-action segment "[[Defective Gadgetry]]". In it, he called Inspector Gadget on his top-secret gadget phone and asked when Inspector Gadget would be coming over. As Inspector Gadget was awaiting repairs at [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]], he told the Chief that he would be on his way as soon as Mario and Luigi repaired his gadgets.

==Colonel Hubert Jefferson==
'''Colonel Hubert Jefferson''' is [[Lucy Belle]]'s great grandfather, and consequently [[Bones (character)|Bones]]'s second great uncle or cousin three times added (though the exact relation is left unspecified), who was mentioned in the ''[[Saturday Supercade]]'' episode "[[Double or Nothing]]". He had left behind a will stating that [[Mr. Bancroft and Hugo|Mr. Bancroft]] would inherit his mansion unless Lucy Belle solved a certain {{wp|rebus}} puzzle by the midnight following the will's reading, in which she would inherit the mansion instead.

==Cranberry==
{{quote|Fear the curse, but find your Eclair.|Cranberry|[[Super Luigi (series)#Super Luigi Volume 4: The Shards of Truth|Super Luigi 4]]}}
'''Cranberry''' is the last of the [[Luff]]s. He played a very short, but integral part in Luigi's adventure during the events of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.

Luigi met Cranberry in Rapturous Ruins, where he was found sleeping. With a sneeze (a soft call in the Super Luigi novelization), Luigi awoke Cranberry and earned the ability to speak his language; Cranberry explained that the Luffs were once a great empire because of their use of the Marvelous Compass's powers, but they were cursed because of their greed. Seeing his own people fall into ruin, Cranberry decided to split the compass into seven parts to avoid the repetition of the Luffian fate, hiding six Marvelous Compass pieces and keeping one with himself in Rapturous Ruins. For a thousand years, Cranberry awaited a hero to complete the Marvelous Compass and save Princess Eclair. Luigi turned out to be this noble-hearted hero, and Cranberry promptly gave him the last compass piece. His purpose fulfilled, Cranberry then faded away with a joyful smile.

Cranberry is similar to [[Merlumina]] in many ways. Both are members of ancient civilizations who slept for unthinkable amounts of time awaiting heroes to accept the fragments of treasure they held.

The '''four heroes''' were a quartet of unnamed characters who sealed away the [[Shadow Queen]] one thousand years prior to the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They consisted of a strong male [[Toad (species)|Toad]]  from [[Petal Meadows]]; a wise female [[Goomba]] from [[Boggly Woods]]; a scar covered, world-traveling male [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]; and a cold female [[Boo]]. They learned of the evil Shadow Queen and teamed up to defeat her. They managed to seal the demon, but just before the fight was completed, she cursed them. If they ever let go of the [[Crystal Stars]], a [[black chest]] would appear and lock them away for all eternity.

The heroes knew the seal on the Shadow Queen was only temporary, and they wanted the stars available to one who might need them. They made a [[Magical Map]] to the stars, and to stop evil from using it, they put it in a box that could only be opened by the pure of heart. The [[Beldam|merchant]] in the opening scene of the game has the box and gives it to [[Princess Peach]].

The Toad was exhausted from his journey and collapsed in Petal Meadows. A healer saved him, but knowing his fate, the Toad gave them his Crystal Star and asked them to hide it where nobody would find it, in [[Hooktail Castle]]. The Goomba knew the [[Puni]]es were being terrorized by the nearby monsters, so she hollowed out [[the Great Tree]]. She gave the [[Emerald Star]] to the Punies where they have been keeping it safe for the past thousand years. Her chest is in [[Rogueport Underground]]. The Koopa went to hide the [[Sapphire Star]] in [[Keelhaul Key]], but [[Cortez]] came and easily took it for himself. The Koopa was so tired he did not stand a chance. His chest is in the [[Pirate's Grotto]]. The Boo hid the [[Ruby Star]] in [[Creepy Steeple]], and her box is in a shop's storage room in [[Twilight Town]].

One by one, Mario finds the chests and opens them with the [[Black Key]]s, releasing them and letting them "curse" Mario with new powers. While the others appear to be taunting Mario, the Koopa one at least did not appear evil, as he is rehearsing the speech. After they "curse" Mario, they vanish and are neither seen nor mentioned again. Mario can also pay [[Grifty]] to hear the story of their adventure and how they came to be trapped in the black chests.

==Genghis Koopa==
'''Genghis Koopa''' was an ancestor of Bowser mentioned in the Nintendo Adventure Book ''[[Double Trouble (book)|Double Trouble]]''. When Mario is pursuing Iggy Koopa down the hallway inside Fort Koopa, he accidentally bumps into a statue of Genghis Koopa, causing it to fall over and shatter. A mouse then crawls out of the statue and scurries away. He is most likely a parody of notorious Mongol leader Genghis Khan.

==Globox==
'''[[raywiki:Globox|Globox]]''' is [[Rayman]]'s best friend and a major character in the {{wp|Rayman|''Rayman'' franchise}}. He is mentioned by the [[Phantom (character)|Phantom]] in his song, "[[Phantom Returns]]", in the [[Rayman in the Phantom Show]] DLC for ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', during which he derides Rayman by stating that his friendship with Globox is getting weaker. A cardboard cutout of Globox also appears in the western set.

==[[Goombella]]'s mother==
'''Goombella's mother''' is mentioned by Goombella in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' when tattling [[Eve]] in Twilight Town. She would always tell Goombella that "only hard work brings happiness."

==Grand Master Rocky==
'''Grand Master Rocky''' is a character that is mentioned by [[List of Sammer Guys#Spanner of Rock|Spanner of Rock]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. After being defeated, Spanner of Rock states that he will return to the manhole in order to train with Grand Master Rocky to become stronger.

==Grandma Mia==
'''Grandma Mia''' is a grandmother to Mario and Luigi, who was briefly mentioned by Mario in ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' episode "[[The Fire of Hercufleas]]". After Mario and his friends had helped train the obese [[Hercufleas]] back into shape, Mario remarked that Hercufleas was even stronger than his Grandma Mia's garlic chip cookies. Grandma Mia, however, may even be another name for [[Grandma Mario]], as [[Mama Mario]] is often referred to as "Mama Mia" by Mario and Luigi, and Mario once stated that his grandmother's full name is Grandmama Mia Mario.<ref name="Mario Mario">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAjhjLuWbC8</ref>

==Grandpapa==
'''Grandpapa''' is [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]'s grandfather, who was briefly mentioned by [[Mario in Real Time|Mario]] at {{wp|San Diego Comic-Con}} 2012, implying that his real name is actually Grandpapa Pio Mario before cutting himself short.<ref name="Mario Mario"></ref>

==Grandpapa (film character)==
'''Grandpapa''' is [[Mario (film character)|Mario]] and [[Luigi (film character)|Luigi]]'s paternal grandfather, who was mentioned by Mario once in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film. In the movie, the Mario Bros. came from a long line of plumbers, and their tools had been passed down to them by their Papa, who had received them from Grandpapa.

==Great Aunt Grouchy==
'''Great Aunt Grouchy''' is Cranky's great aunt in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' TV series. In the episode "The Curse of Kongo Bongo", Cranky uses a book written by her to explain the curse of the double doubloon to Donkey and Diddy Kong. He is later seen calling her about the curse, and she tells him that the spell to stop the curse is in her book. After hanging up, even though he was mad and yelling at her over the phone, he breaks the fourth wall to say, "Gotta love Great Aunt Grouchy." During the phone call, Cranky also states that he is her favorite nephew. Her name is synonymous with the word "cranky."

==Hamma Jamma's father==
'''Hamma Jamma's father''' is the father of [[Hamma, Bamma, and Flare#Hamma Jamma|Hamma Jamma]] who is mentioned twice in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. He is notable for being the only known [[Business Bro]].

Little is known about Hamma Jamma's father, other than being one of Hamma Jamma's many family members that left to join the [[Glitz Pit]]. Unlike Hamma Jamma's beloved [[#Hamma Jamma's grandfather|grandfather]], references to him are very rare. Hamma Jamma's first mention of him states that he dropped out of Hammer Bros. school, choosing to enroll in Business Bros. school. This act seemed to have embarrassed and confused his son. The last mention of him, however, seems to suggest that Hamma Jamma may still love his father: When referring to his dad this time, Hamma says that he is actually attending his fight that day (which could mean that he appeared in the audience during one of Mario's fights), and he wishes to win and impress him.

==Hamma Jamma's grandfather==
'''Hamma Jamma's grandfather''' is a [[Hammer Bro]] of unknown name, brought up by his grandson several times in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. He actually first appears as an unknown Hammer Bro in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''

Hamma Jamma, a fighter in the Glitz Pit and member of the Hamma, Bamma, & Flare team, continually cites his grandfather as his inspiration. Apparently, his grandpa once owned his beloved [[hammer]] and is one of Hamma's several family members he left behind to pursue a career in fighting.

Hamma Jamma stated that [[World 7-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-1]] from ''Super Mario Bros.'' is his grandfather's "'hood".

==Handerson==
'''Handerson''' is the speaker in the EJIA phone call in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''. A self-described "hand model" and "finger actor", Handerson heavily implies to be the character that the hand seen in the microgames [[Butterfingers (microgame)|Butterfingers]] and [[Right in the Eye]] pertains to. Handerson claims the most difficult role they landed was catching a hot toast out of a toaster "15 years ago", referencing the Butterfingers microgame in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', released 15 years before ''WarioWare Gold''. In ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'', he was referred to as '''Baby Handerson'''.

==Heroes of Buffness==
{{see also|Mount Pajamaja#Heroes of Buffness}}
The '''Heroes of Buffness''', also referred to as '''Muscle Lords''', are powerful fighters mentioned in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''. Throughout [[Mount Pajamaja]], various monuments can be found dedicated to the Heroes of Buffness with stone slabs giving a description about their history. Additionally, the [[Big Massif|Massif]] [[Lil' Massif|Bros.]] mistake the [[Mega Pi'illo]]s for Muscle Lords.

==Heronicus' Flopside Counterpart==
'''Heronicus' Flopside Counterpart''' is mentioned by a few characters in ''Super Paper Mario'' (mainly [[Hatch]]). He is a brave explorer who went hunting for a legendary Pixl but his partner's [[Game Over|game ended]] while Heronicus' Flopside counterpart saved the Pixl, so he continued exploring solo. The Pixl he rescued turned out to be [[Piccolo]] who was found in his house. [[Heronicus]] contrasts from what his counterpart did and rescued his partner while his legendary Pixl presumably died. Because of this, he and his partner retired out of depression. [[Flamm]] sells [[Map]]s left behind by Heronicus' Flopside Counterpart. His name is not mentioned at any point of the game nor is he even seen.

==Hizza==
'''Hizza''' is a giant, two-headed snake that Luigi fights during his adventure to assemble the Marvelous Compass and rescue Princess Eclair. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', the people of [[Plumpbelly Village]] are forced to sacrifice young maidens to the monstrous snake Hizza. Eventually, the mayor's daughter is the next to be sacrificed. As such, Luigi puts on the young woman's dress and travels (with his new partner [[Jerry]]) to Hizza's lair. During the epic battle that follows, Luigi manages to trick Hizza's two heads into eating each other, thus destroying the creature for all eternity as well as gaining a piece of the Marvelous Compass. As a result, the citizens of Plumpbelly Village no longer have to live in fear.

In a Scribes column on Rare's website, [[Leigh Loveday]] states that this gag was merely a throwaway {{wp|Vic and Bob}} reference.

In the manga ''[[4-koma Gag Battle]]'', she is depicted once, alongside her husband. The ''[[4koma Manga Kingdom]]'' manga depicts her once more, shouting at K.

==Luke==
'''Luke''' is a person supposedly known by Tommy Treehugger personally, as in the ''Club Mario'' episode accompanying "The Unzappables", Tommy says hi to his mom, Luke, and Curtis.

==Maitre Delish==
'''Maitre Delish''' was a famous legendary chef mentioned in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. He made a [[Cookbook]], a book that could teach anyone how to be a perfect chef. Maitre Delish's name is derived from "maître d'" (or "master of the hall") and "delicious". His name literally means "Master of the Delicious".

One of the copies of his book is left in [[Creepy Steeple]] by an unknown person thought to have once lived there; Mario later finds this book ([[The Creepy Steeple Boo]] helps him find it [[Mailbox SP|via email]]). The book is not necessary to find in the overall plot of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', although [[Zess T.]] requests the book for her [[Trouble Center|trouble]], and, if Mario completes it, she rewards him with a [[Honey Mushroom]] and announces her newfound ability to cook two foods at once.

[[Wonky]] makes another reference to the chef saying that he once ate food made by him in [[Poshley Heights]], suggesting that he may have worked there in his lifetime. Maitre Delish is indeed thought to be dead, as Zess T. states that he existed "ages ago".

==Minister Crepe==
'''Minister Crepe''' is the one who sent Luigi the letter about the Waffle Kingdom's troubles in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. He is mentioned by Luigi in the book series [[Super Luigi]].

He set the whole thing up so Luigi could collect the Compass Pieces so Crepe could rule the world. In the end, he was defeated by Luigi using his hammer after Princess Eclair's compass piece showed him Crepe's every move. Although explicitly identified in the book, Luigi nonetheless implies something similar occurred in the version he told Mario by mentioning a shadowy figure fought him after he defeated the Chestnut King.

In response, Toad uttered, ''"Who'd you expect? Pee-wee Herman?"''

==Pixl Queen==
The '''Pixl Queen''' is an unseen Pixl spoken of in ''Super Paper Mario''. This rebellious Pixl is only talked about in four of Carson's stories, though quite a bit is revealed about her in these.

Despite the Pixl Queen being the first Pixl ever created, she seemed to stay largely quiet for what is thought to be 1,000 years after the creation of the Pixls 3,000 years before the setting of ''Super Paper Mario''. However, seemingly long after the passing of her creator (the powerful magician who invented the process of Pixl-making), the Pixl Queen (then of an unknown name) finally rose into power, renaming herself with her only known name of "Pixl Queen." She then began to use her powers of mind control to manipulate all Pixls, causing them to eventually enslave most of the [[Tribe of Ancients]] (who were ironically once their masters) in her name. However, the owners of the magician's twelve original Pixl creations managed to somehow escape this Pixl Uprising and started to fight against the rebellious Pixls, containing them within [[Catch Card]]s and healing them. In the end, only one of these heroic Ancients survived, and he traveled with only his Pixl friends to the Pixl Queen's [[castle]].

Once he arrived at the stronghold, he confronted the dark Pixl Queen herself, who immediately hid from the hero and shot a barrage of disturbing images to his mind telepathically. Although this greatly weakened the Ancient hero, one of his Pixls helped him through the tragedy and ended up defeating the Pixl Queen itself, although it was destroyed in the process of doing so. Afterwards, it was shockingly revealed to the hero who owned the Pixl that the Pixl Queen was the first created of the Pixls (perhaps created even earlier than the magician's so-called "original" twelve Pixls) and that the magician's motives for creating her involved the study of the [[Dark Prognosticus]]. The Ancient survivor, attempting to stop such a tragedy as the Pixl Uprising from ever happening again, then took the Dark Prognosticus with himself to unknown parts, likely founding the [[Tribe of Darkness]] known to once have possessed the dark book. Afterwards, the Pixl Queen's mutinous efforts led to the fall of the Tribe of Ancients and the outlawing of Pixl creation.

Though these are the only known actions of the seemingly late Pixl Queen, more is indeed known about the Pixl herself. Although the spirit united with the Pixl vessel that formed the Pixl Queen had previously been described as "demonic", Carson later stated that a certain one of the magician's apprentices books revealed that the Pixl Queen's spirit was actually derived from a human rather than a demon. It was on this principle that Carson theorized that the Pixl Queen's spirit may have been that of the magician's own daughter (who did indeed get a Game Over during her father's life due to a deathly illness), although he later seemed to have not been sure about this theory in his statement that the author disavowed it.  It is also unknown if the Pixl Queen had any helpful ability, although she was indeed able to control all Pixls and used the power of {{wp|telepathy}} in her battle against the Ancient survivor, making these possible ability candidates.

He was [[Queen Croacus II]]'s sibling, and was going to inherit the throne. However, he suddenly wilted in the year 444, leading to the mental decline, corruption, and eventual death of [[King Croacus I|his father]] as well. Queen Croacus the Second eventually took the throne in his place after the fall of Croacus I. Prince Croacus dying in 444 is an example of a common [[Japan]]ese (and Chinese) association of the number four with death, as the characters for "four" (四) and "death" (死) have similar readings (''shi'', in Japanese).

==Princess Daisy's father==
[[File:Daisy's_father_KC_Mario.jpg|thumb|right|Daisy's father in ''[[Super Mario Land (manga)|Super Mario Land]]'']]

Daisy's father also makes a brief appearance in the first volume of [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|KC Deluxe's manga]], where he beats Mario for taking fun at Tatanga's height, fearing for the alien's technology, immediately bowing to him.

==Princess Eclair==
'''Princess Eclair''' was the damsel-in-distress that Luigi rescued from the clutches of the monstrous [[Goomboss#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Chestnut King]] in the Waffle Kingdom. However, as it turns out, the Chestnut King was actually Princess Eclair's lover, who had been turned into a monster by the sinister Minister Crepe. This story is told by Luigi when Mario talks to him throughout the events of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.

During Luigi's adventure, he fell in love with Princess Eclair. However, after he discovered that the Chestnut King was Princess Eclair's fiancee, Luigi lost the hope of ever forming a romantic relationship with the princess. Since Luigi embellished his stories so much, it is unknown whether any of it really happened as he described (or whether she even exists at all).

She is also mentioned in Luigi's five-book series, called Super Luigi, which is sold in Rogueport's shop during the events of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.

==Toxic Toad Z==
'''Toxic Toad Z''' is one of the handful of known characters from ''Toad Force V'' mentioned in ''Mario Party Advance''. Toxic Toad Z is a Toad-based robotic villain in the series, and the henchman of Toad Force V's arch-nemesis, the [[#Spore King|Spore King]].

When Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, or Yoshi accept Lantern Ghost's Nerd Force V challenge, they are directed to go to Junk, Paratroopa's [[Item Shop|item shop]]. On this specific mission, Junk is up and running with two items: A "Toad Force V" figurine (actually one of Jack) and a figure of Toxic Toad Z. While selecting the Toad Force V figurine is the correct action for this mission, it does not hurt to select the one of Toxic Toad Z; such an action will result in Paratroopa revealing much about the Toxic Toad Z character.

Paratroopa seems to know quite a bit about him, though, and, for an unseen character, there actually is a notably large amount of known information about him. According to him, Toxic Toad Z fights with lasers and giant [[missile]]s, and his design was stolen (by the Spore King) from the Toad lab. Also, it apparently takes a "hard-core fan" to buy a figurine of Toxic Toad Z, presumably because he is a villainous (and possibly minor) henchman; despite this statement, Junk was all out of his figures at the time the player attempted to buy one, although they were apparently expecting a new shipment of them to arrive soon. Indeed, the game's ending sequence states that Paratroopa made a fortune by selling Toxic Toad Z figures, indicating that the shipment did eventually arrive sometime during the course of ''Mario Party Advance''.

==[[Waluigi]]'s pet hamster==
According to the [[Wario's Warehouse]] article for the ''{{wp|The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (video game)|Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers}}'' video game, Waluigi has a pet hamster. Inspired by the airholes on his hamster's cage, Waluigi makes holes in the warehouse's roof to avoid "having to gasp for air like a mad fish".

==[[Wario]]'s mother==
[[File:SMKun 10 4-koma 4.png|thumb|150px|A glimpse of Wario's parents in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'']]
'''Wario's mother''' makes a brief appearance in a 4-koma from ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' [[Super Mario-kun Volume 10|volume 10]], set during Wario's childhood. Alongside her husband, she scolds her son for returning from the playground full of bruises and scratches and punishes him by tying him up to a pillar of their house. When Wario's parents decide to go outside to eat, Wario overhears them and follows them asking if he can come along, still tied to the pillar, destroying the house and angering his parents more. In these panels, only the father's arm and the mother's legs are shown.

Wario's mother is briefly mentioned during the events of ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''. During the blooper reel of Wario lifting weights, she calls him on his cell phone. He then replies "Hello? Ma, I told you not to call me today! I'm making a movie..." as Waluigi tells the crew to cut.

Wario's mother is also heard of in Wario's Warehouse on the website for [[Nintendo|Nintendo of Europe]]. It is revealed she used to say "You can never have enough cash." Wario later wedged her inside her kitchen bin and pilfered all her money. 

Wario's Warehouse also states that Wario's mother perceives her son as so goofy that she never threw him a birthday party. Consequently, Wario does not know his age.{{ref needed}}

==Watchoverer==
The '''Watchoverer''' is a deity revered by the [[Nommon]]s of [[Pi'illo Island]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. When [[Starlow]] assumed the Nommons revered the petrified [[Pi'illo]]s as deities, they corrected her by stating that they actually revere the Watchoverer and that the petrified Pi'illos are just their playthings. It is heavily implied that the Watchoverer is actually the [[Zeekeeper]].

==[[Watt]]'s mother==
'''Watt's mother''' is mentioned multiple times in ''Paper Mario''. Watt often tells Mario about her. Additionally, she sends Watt a [[letter]], which the player can read when visiting the [[Toad Town Post Office]]. Her name is unknown. However, Watt's Pause Menu Screen description reads: "''The child of [[Lil Sparky|Li'l Sparky]]''", which might mean Watt's mother's name is Li'l Sparky. However, this may only refer to her [[list of species|species]] rather than her name.
