Gil Board

The Gil Board is a minor character from Super Mario Galaxy. He is a signpost that tells Mario how to Wall Jump. He claims to be the "Famous Gil Board" and claims Mario knows him, although Super Mario Galaxy seems to be his first and only appearance, although he could have appeared in Super Mario 64 as one of the many signposts in the game (or perhaps he is every signpost in the game). He is presumably related to Bill Board, Phil Board, and Jill Board.
