The Master is a powerful martial artist and the resident teacher of the Toad Town Dojo. He is a Toad who appears in the game Paper Mario. If Mario defeats his students Lee and Chan, the plumber will have the opportunity to challenge the Master himself in battle. In fact, Mario can fight the Master three times. However, each time Mario wins a battle, the next fight with the Master will become exponentially harder. The Master's appearance in the third battle is the same, except he is surrounded by a yellow fiery glow. With experience and skill (and maybe a few tricks), Mario can defeat the Master's third and most powerful form and earn the Diploma.
In his final form, the Master is actually stronger than the final boss, Bowser (in his powered-up state); while both have 99 HP, The Master has more powerful attacks than Bowser. Much like Bonetail in the sequel, the Master is the strongest opponent in the game and is completely optional.
The Master is similar in many ways to the character Jinx from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Both Jinx and the Master are expert martial artists who train disciples in schools. Additionally, Mario has to fight both Jinx and the Master three times each, with every battle getting progressively harder in each case.

[edit] Trivia
- Tayce T. is the Master's sister.
- It is rumored that the Master was trained by a Goomba martial arts master. The martial artist is implied to be Goompa.
- Not only did The Master play the same role as Jinx, but Culex, as well.
- The Master, in his 3rd and final form, is the hardest boss in the game -- he is even harder than the last fight with Bowser.
- A strategy that can help to defeat the master is to have Goombario out, and have him countinue using Charge while Mario stalls him or lowers his ATK with Chill Out. After Goombario has charged a great amount of times, use Multibonk to inflict all the charged damage on The Master, which can defeat him. Though in any of the 3 fights, using Chill Out will help.
