Flurrie, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Madame Flurrie, commonly known as simply Flurrie, is Mario's third party member in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. She is described as a cloud spirit or wind spirit,[1] and is a slightly pompous retired actress who eventually resumes her career at the end of the game. Her face resembles Wendy O. Koopa, while her hair resembles Ludwig von Koopa's hair. Her ability is to blow out large amounts of wind, as hinted at by her name, which comes from "flurry", meaning a small burst of wind. In the overworld, she can blow wind which makes incoming enemies dizzy and blows away flaps in the environment, in order to reveal hidden objects or passageways, similar to Watt from Paper Mario and Fleep in Super Paper Mario. Since she is not on the ground, she is unaffected by quake attacks like the Earth Quake item.

History[edit]

Paper Mario series[edit]

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

Prior to meeting Mario, Flurrie was a famous actress. She was very well-known with fans all over the world, and starred in plays such as A Mid-Winter Day's Nap.[2] Weary of the spotlight, she retired to a house in Boggly Woods, where she became a friend of the local Punies.

When Mario, Goombella, Koops, and Punio go to the Great Tree, they find that the door is locked. Punio recalls a secret entrance somewhere around a low branch of the tree, but it is covered by an "invisible thing", and he does not know how to remove it or even exactly where it is. He suggests that Mario should go to Flurrie's house and ask her to help them find it.

When they go to Flurrie's house, she tells them that she cannot be seen without her Necklace and asks Mario to get it back for her. They return to the first area of the woods and find the Three Shadows with the necklace. Mario defeats them and gets the necklace back for Flurrie, who insists she must repay Mario and gives a very large kiss which knocks away his current party member and Punio. She then joins the party.

At the very end of the adventure, Flurrie becomes a top-class actress once more, now alongside Doopliss. Flurrie creates a play aptly titled "Paper Mario" about the past events in the game. Flurrie plays herself, Doopliss plays Mario, and the rest of the cast are themselves.

Super Paper Mario[edit]

In Super Paper Mario, Madame Flurrie appears as a Catch Card won by winning the Duel of 100 in the Sammer's Kingdom. Her Catch Card describes her as the most "Rubenesque" of Mario's companions, referencing the Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, famous for his paintings of large, voluptuous women.

Flurrie can also be seen very briefly at the beginning of the game. During the intro, she, and all the other partners from the previous Paper Mario titles can been seen in a photograph.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Flurrie appears in Super Mario-kun. Just like in the Paper Mario arc, Mario's permanent partners in the adaptations are just the first two partners of the game (Goombella and Koops, in this case), while the rest only accompany the party during their respective chapters; therefore, Flurrie is only present during the Boggly Woods act. Her main trait is being obsessed with skincare routines and makeup.

In chapter 11 of volume 32, while looking for the second Crystal Star, Mario's party arrive at The Great Tree, but are unable to find an entrance. Goombella suggests asking the wind spirit Flurrie to help them remove the leaves and reveal the secret passage to access the tree. Arriving in Flurrie's house, Mario goes to rest on what he thinks is an armchair, only to discover it is Flurrie herself, getting smothered by her chest. She then demonstrates her wind power by helping Mario clean some dust on his shoulder by blowing, sending him flying against a wall in the process. She initially refuses to help them, claiming she is waiting for a beautiful prince charming to help her escape her mundane life. While Mario tries to boost her confidence by complimenting her, a Ruff Puff appears to attack them. Flurrie decides to help the party, but continuosly ends up missing her Body Slam attacks, landing on Mario, injuring him and dirting him up more and more. With Mario down, the Ruff Puff attacks Flurrie, ruining her makeup with rain and messing up her hairstyle with lightning. As she is about to suffer another lighning strike, Goombella tosses Mario between them, causing him to take the shot instead of her. The Diamond Star then puts Mario back up with Sweet Treat, and with Multibounce Mario defeats the Ruff Puff. Now cleaner and knightly brave in her eyes, Flurrie recognizes Mario as her prince charming and joins the crew.

In the first two chapters of volume 33, Flurrie then helps dealing with a Pider and the Magnus von Grapple. Like with the Ruff Puff, Flurrie's Body Slams, while succesful in hitting the targets, this time around, keeps landing on Mario too, injuring him. After conquering the Emerald Star, winter comes, and Flurrie goes in hibernation to avoid her skin from drying up from the cold weather, thus, not joining the heroes on the rest of their quest.

She reappears in later chapters, first when Bowser arrives in the Boggly Woods, looking for Mario, then during the final battle rooting from Mario through the Crystal Stars.

Super Mario Run[edit]

Flurrie had a minor cameo in Super Mario Run (ver. 3.2.0) on promotional artwork in the game during its celebration of the release of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch), though her presence on the in-game alert for the event was her only appearance in the game.

Notes[edit]
