Piccolo

"The bird, it warbles, TWEET! The bug, it cries, CHEEP! The frog, RRRRRRIBBIT! The dog, GRRRRRROWF! Goats and cars, BLEEEET!"

- Piccolo

Piccolo is an optional Pixl in the game Super Paper Mario. It takes some time to run a series of errands to earn Piccolo. Piccolo plays music when the player presses on the Wii Remote. She can play music that can cure Mario and the team from any curses placed upon them by Cursyas. If the player switches characters while Piccolo is equipped, the player will hear different tunes. She can also put the Underchomp to sleep.

Some blocks have a Piccolo symbol on them. By using Piccolo when standing next to them, the blocks dissolve, revealing a treasure chest.

Here are the errands to run to earn Piccolo:
 * 1) The player must go to Merlee.
 * 2) The player must go to Merluvlee.
 * 3) The player must go to Bestovius.
 * 4) The player must go to Old Man Watchitt.
 * 5) The player must go to Merlumina.
 * 6) The player must give the autograph to Watchitt.
 * 7) The player must give the You-Know-What to Bestovius.
 * 8) The player must give the Training Machine to Merluvlee.
 * 9) The player must give the Crystal Ball to Merlee. In exchange for the Crystal Ball, she gives the player a Random House Key.
 * 10) The player must take the key to the first floor of Flopside and look for the locked door near the card shop.
 * 11) The player must use the key to open a door.
 * 12) The player must open the big chest inside to get Piccolo on their team.
 * 13) The player can go to the third floor outskirts to find a block with Piccolo on it. Using him will erase the block to reveal a Merlee/Nolrem Catch Card. The Catch Card depends on which town you use her in. Using her in Flipside's third floor outskirts gives the player a Merlee Catch Card, while using her in Flopside's third floor outskirts will give the player a Nolrem Catch Card.

Catch Card
Card Type: Rare Card Description: This pitch-perfect Pixl plays the most melodious tunes. She lived in Flopside before joining your ragtag group.

Trivia

 * Piccolo is Italian for small.
 * A piccolo is also a small flute, derived from that word.
 * Having Piccolo as the active Pixl changes the active character's sound effects to sound like they did in Super Mario Bros.. All the characters jumps and Bowser's Fire Breath sound like the original Super Mario Bros. sound effect.
 * The song that Piccolo plays to heal curses is different for each character. Mario and Luigi have Italian songs, Peach has a cheery lullaby-like song, and Bowser has a metal song. It also is affected by the place the player plays the song in.
 * It is revealed that there were two versions of Piccolo. One is the Flopside version (Piccolo) and the Flipside version (called the "Legendary pixl" by Heronicus). The Flipside version died in a rock slide, which caused Heronicus to stop exploring.
