Huey

Huey is a character who will be appearing in the upcoming Wii U game Paper Mario: Color Splash. He is a floating paint bucket with eyes that changes color depending on his emotions. He will act as Mario's partner throughout the adventure much like Kersti from the previous game, though not much else is known about him. Huey's name is a pun on "hue", a term used to describe color.

Mario and Princess Peach first find Huey in 3D form as a seemingly inanimate object in the inactive Prisma Fountain at the town square of Port Prisma. After Mario whacks him with his hammer, however, he wakes up and gets mad at him for hitting him while he was sleeping, but calms down shortly afterwards. Huey can also be seen in paper form after he joins Mario.
