Lighthouse keeper

The lighthouse keeper is a purple Toad who wears sunglasses that appears in Paper Mario: Color Splash. He owns the lighthouse on Lighthouse Island.

Mario can find the lighthouse keeper colorless at the top of the lighthouse. When Mario paints him, he becomes depressed due to the light in the lighthouse being missing. Huey tells the lighthouse keeper that he and Mario can help fix the light. The lighthouse keeper tries to help Mario in turn by teaching him about the parallel world, but Huey tells him that they already know about the parallel world. He then leaves the lighthouse and tells Mario to meet him at the entrance of the parallel world.

When Mario meets up with the lighthouse keeper, he tells the Toads that guard the parallel world to let Mario pass through. The lighthouse keeper thanks Mario again and wishes him luck, and then returns to the lighthouse, where he waits until Mario finds the Lightbulb.

When Mario brings the Lightbulb to the lighthouse, the lighthouse keeper becomes happy again and begins dancing.

In Paper Mario: The Origami King, the lighthouse keeper is seen posing in a photograph at Shogun Studios. He appears with a major role in the Temple of Shrooms, under the name DJ Toad. He is at a DJ station, and is threatened by Hole Punch to play good music or else he will have his face removed. DJ Toad has lost four discs around the temple, and if Mario returns one, the Toad plays it to hear Hole Punch's reaction. Once Mario finds the right disc, he can start collecting faceless yellow Toads with a boombox, and gather them all on the dance floor to make Hole Punch leave his room.

DJ Toad is found again in the hotel of Shroom City, playing music in the lobby and replacing the Snifit that held his job while he was captured. He has two tracks to start with, and the four that Mario gives him are also available. He then reappears at the end of the game, DJ'ing the Origami Festival alongside his Snifit counterpart.
