Hinopio



Hinopio is an enigmatic Toad in the game Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Hinopio used to live in the Mushroom Kingdom, but moved out a long time before the events of Super Mario RPG to set up his own shop in Barrel Volcano. Hinopio seems to be comfortable in the volcano and spends his time running his shop, which is actually two shops that sell both items and armor. His "Hino Mart," as the place is called, also has an inn inside of it.
