Businessman



The Ratooey Businessman (no specific name is given) is a Ratooey found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He first appears in the Excess Express, happy that he can charge everything to his business account, as he was riding the train for business reasons. On the voyage's second day, he lost his briefcase, which contained early plans for company's latest invention, Nitro Honey Syrup. He gets it back when Mario finds Zip Toad and exposes him as a fake (although his true identity, Doopliss, isn't actually revealed until after the businessman gets his suitcase back).

Later on, the Ratooey Businessman appears in Glitzville, selling Hot Sauce for ten coins. Before Mario can purchase his goods, the plumber has to complete the Ratooey's Trouble Center Quest.

For unknown reasons, the Ratooey Businessman has a love of chairs that borders on outright fanaticism. In fact, his Trouble consists of Mario needing to tell him how many chairs are in certain houses spread out across the world, such as Don Pianta's office and Flurrie's house. The reason for this is because he forgot the security code needed to open his briefcase and the code consists of the numbers of chairs in four houses.
