—Hamma Jamma, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Notes

• Bamma is the name of an unseen character mentioned on a score-chart in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour; however, it is unlikely to be the same character, as Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour came out almost a year prior to Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's release.
