'''Charlieton''' is a traveling salesman appearing in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He appears to have a knack for ripping people off, much like [[Rip Cheato]]; his name is even a pun on "charlatan". He sells items and [[Badge]]s in the [[Rogueport]] Plaza.  Most of his items and Badges are fairly rare, and he is the only way for [[Mario]] to complete his Badge collection. His prices are also high, but he sells [[Jammin' Jelly|Jammin' Jellies]] and [[Ultra Mushroom|Ultra Shroom]]s at 120 coins each, their cheapest price in the game. Charlieton's inventory will change if Mario walks two screens away and then comes back. Therefore, all items that he sells can theoretically be obtained at any given point after Chapter 1, meaning that, while certain items may not appear for a while, they may eventually reappear. In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], Charlieton also appears in [[Boggly Woods]] near the pipe to [[The Great Tree]]. If [[Mario]] buys all the things available, he will thank Mario for putting his kids through college.

Charlieton, the merchant
First appearance Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2004)
Latest appearance Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) (2024)

Charlieton is a traveling salesman appearing in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He appears to have a knack for ripping people off, much like Rip Cheato; his name is even a pun on "charlatan". He sells items and Badges in the Rogueport Plaza. Most of his items and Badges are fairly rare, and he is the only way for Mario to complete his Badge collection. His prices are also high, but he sells Jammin' Jellies and Ultra Shrooms at 120 coins each, their cheapest price in the game. Charlieton's inventory will change if Mario walks two screens away and then comes back. Therefore, all items that he sells can theoretically be obtained at any given point after Chapter 1, meaning that, while certain items may not appear for a while, they may eventually reappear. In the Nintendo Switch remake, Charlieton also appears in Boggly Woods near the pipe to The Great Tree. If Mario buys all the things available, he will thank Mario for putting his kids through college.

Charlieton also has a chance to appear on every tenth floor except the 100th in the Pit of 100 Trials, selling common items such as Mushrooms at an inflated price. The prices are higher the deeper Mario is in the Pit.

Charlieton's role is filled by Flimm in the next Paper Mario game, Super Paper Mario.
