List of Sammer Guys

Many of these Sammer Guys are a pun on something Nintendo-related.

Jade Blooper
The guardian of the first gate. His name is a reference to Bloopers, though it may also be a reference to the Jade Raven from Paper Mario. Jade Blooper constantly talks about honor and shame, and he smells strangely fishy. He is a Green Sammer Guy with a mustache. He loves horror movies.

Hills With Eyes
The guardian of the second gate. His name is a reference to the various hills and other background objects that have a set of eyes. He is a Green Sammer Guy. He claims to always be watching the player. Even after his defeat, he will continue to watch the player. Hills With Eyes once lost a staring contest to King Sammer and hasn't recovered since.

Puffing Fist
The guardian of the third gate. His name may have some relation to Huff N. Puff, a cloud with fists. It is also possible that his name is a pun on "puffer fish". Puffing Fist has "studied in the ancient Pwaaang traditions". When he loses, he decides he must go train at the cloud temple.

Squatting Birdo
The guardian of the fourth gate. His name is a reference to Birdos. He notes that Birdos are a kind of flightless bird (even though some flew in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!). According to Tippi/Tiptron, he's the true master of the "Squatting Birdo Stance."

Leaping Cheep
The guardian of the fifth gate. His name is a reference to Cheep-Cheeps. He spends his days awkwardly attempting to leap out of the water. After being defeated, he is upset that his Cheep-Cheeps couldn't have helped him in the fight.

Master Wiggler
The guardian of the sixth gate. His name is a reference to Wigglers. He says "haikus" and "wiggle" frequently. According to Tippi/Tiptron, this abstract haiku poetry has quite a following in literary circles.

Shoe of Kuribo
The guardian of the seventh gate. His name is a reference to Kuribo's Shoe. The use of the word "Kuribo" is surprising, as Nintendo had changed the name of the shoe to "Goomba's Shoe". He has a habit of saying "STOMPOW!" often, and goes through several pairs of shoes a month.

Guy Who Fry
The guardian of the eighth gate. His name is a pun on Fry Guy. He also has a tendency to exclaim, "YOU FRY NOW!" He is the master of the Dripping Magma Punch, and is currently on a special Sammer Guy diet, consisting entirely of deep-fried foods.

Screaming Mantis
The guardian of the ninth gate. His name is a spoof on an unrelated Mario animal, the Praying Mantis. As his name implies, he shrieks and screams quite often, so much so that he must take lozenges when his throat gets hoarse. He is often on the injured reserve, due to the hoarseness of his throat. There's a boss named Screaming Mantis in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Koopa in Winter
A Big Sammer Guy who is the guardian of the tenth gate, named after Koopas. For unknown reasons, he cries every time he looks at a sunset.

Footsteps of Coins
The guardian of the eleventh gate. He asks the duelists if they ever wondered who put the coins all over the place. He claims that it is him, and that it isn't right for anyone to be taking his coins all the time. He is probably a reference to a rare enemy called a Moneybags. Beating him forces him to take a loan from his mother. He also has a lesser-known brother called Footsteps of Meat. This could be a reference to a side-scrolling mini-game from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in which the player controls Bowser in a Super Mario Bros. setting and collects pieces of meat as power-ups.

Urchin Lung
The guardian of the twelfth gate. His name may be a reference to Urchins. He was once King Sammer's personal trainer, until an unfortunate sit-up incident.

Crow Who Eats
The guardian of the thirteenth gate. Though it is unlikely, his name may have some relation to either Ravens or the crows in Luigi's Mansion and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It may also refer to "eating crow," meaning to be proven wrong after taking a strong position, which is further proven by the fact that, upon defeat, he actually states that it is "he who must eat crow." Due to his many taunts before battle, it is very awkward when he loses.

Swollen Tongue
The guardian of the fourteenth gate. He is a Green Sammer Guy with a mustache and a spike. He makes mistakes with speaking because of his bad tongue (for example, when he wants to say "Bye now!" he says "Buy now!"). This may be a reference to Chef Shimi.

Slipping Grip
The guardian of the fifteenth gate. His name comes from the fact that he is the second best student at Sweaty Palms Martial Arts Academy. The two Sammer Guys after him are his brothers, and like him, are blue with a mustache.

Clammy Hand
The guardian of the sixteenth gate and brother of Slipping Grip. Clammy Hand is also in Sweaty Palms Martial Arts Academy. Tippi claims that he must have pretty bad first impressions.

Forbidden Slap
The guardian of the seventeenth gate. He is a blue Sammer guy with a mustache who got expelled from Sweaty Palms Martial Arts Academy. He used to be the top student, but got expelled for using forbidden slapping techniques too many times. The two Sammer Guys before him are his brothers; in the end, they convince him to rejoin the academy, which he does. It is implied that he became the best again. His name comes from why he got expelled.

Hairy Arantula in the Grass
The guardian of the eighteenth gate. His name is a reference to the Arantulas. He has a habit of hiding in parks and leaping out at people.

Another Castle
The guardian of the nineteenth gate. His name is a reference to Toad's famous saying, "Thank you, Mario. But our Princess is in another castle!" Tippi states that he takes his name too seriously and once dug a moat around himself.

Rolling Thwomp
The guardian of the twentieth gate. This might refer to Spiny Tromps. He is a big Sammer Guy that likes to roll all over the place. When Mario and Co. first visit, he is the last Sammer Guy fought before Count Bleck appears, and is the one who runs off to try and warn King Sammer. It is unclear if he makes it due to the fact that Sammer's Kingdom is consumed by The Void shortly afterwards. Rolling Thwomp loves kittens, especially white and fluffy ones.

Thrashing Prawn
The guardian of the twenty-first gate. His name is a reference to the prawn, a type of shellfish similar to shrimp. He has a habit of putting butter on everything, which happens to be a very popular way of eating shellfish.

Thousand-Year Roar
The guardian of the twenty-second gate. His name is a reference to The Thousand-Year Door from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He spends his weekend mornings sipping coffee and quietly reading the paper.

Unshy Guy
The guardian of the twenty-third gate. His name is a pun on Shy Guys. He claims that public speaking offers no problems for him. When Mario defeats him, he says his confidence is shattered. Unshy Guy makes piles of coins by making appearances during the Sammer lecture circuit.

Useless Badge
The guardian of the twenty fourth gate. His name is a reference to badges that were only for novelty, such as Attack FX Y or badges that players would seldom equip like Slow Go. He knows that he stands no chance, and announces it before and after the fight. He reasons that Mario got so strong from eating mushrooms, which he hates.

Sunshine Flood
The guardian of the twenty-fifth and final gate of Chapter 6-1. His name is a pun on the game Super Mario Sunshine and F.L.U.D.D. Also, after beating all the Shadow Mario missions, a flood occurs. He is a white Sammer Guy.

Grand Master Kickface
Grand Master Kickface does not seem to reference anything in particular, but it could possibly refer to Zeus Guys from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island or Jinx from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars as both enemies used kicking attacks. Once defeated, he sees a turning point in his life as this was the first time his face received foot for a change.

Soaring Cape
This is a reference to Mario's Cape that he first obtained in Super Mario World. Soaring Cape claims to have a cape enabling him to fly, but apparently somebody got rid of it. He tended to always wear it in public.

Yowling Yux
The guardian of twenty-eighth the gate. His name is a pun on Yux and the fact that he always yowls. In fact, when the player fights him and wins, he says that that was the first time he had to fight as others ran away from his pointless screaming, thinking he was deranged. He's the lead singer in a Sammer band.

Mystical Whistle
This is a reference to the Warp Whistle in Super Mario Bros. 3. He says that only cheaters who enter codes can change his tune.

Laughing X-Naut
Laughing X-Naut is a Sammer Guy who loves comedies. An X-Naut is an enemy from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. When Mario and co. first went to Sammer's Kingdom, he was the very last Sammer Guy to appear before The Void destroyed everything. While his personality dictates that he is indeed Laughing X-Naut, if the player flips into 3D, they can scan him and Tippi will give the description for "Dances on Turtles," the Sammer Guy who guards the following gate. This error is only made the very first time.

Dances on Turtles
This name refers to the famous "Koopa Stomping". He's not very tech savvy, and any machine with buttons sends him into a panic.

Thirsting Bones
His name is a pun on Dry Bones, an undead Koopa. He plays softball on weekends.

Peeking Boo
His name is a pun on the species of Boos that only follow people when their back is turned, and the classic children's game of "peekaboo." He reads the dictionary on weekends.

Action Commander
Action Commands are popular in Paper Mario games. After defeat, he says he will miss the crowd's cheers of "Stylish!", in reference to the word appearing when you pulled off a stylish move in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He likes to relax on weekends and not leave his couch.

Bullet Ill
His name is a pun on Bullet Bill and his tattle information is a reference to the Mecha Bowser boss fight from Super Mario Sunshine. Though Bullet Ill fights Mario with a stomach cramp, the Sammer Guy loves rollercoasters.

Sliding Shell is a mustachioed blue Small Sammer Guy. His name is related to how Koopa Shells slide when Mario kicks them. However, he jumps more than he slides.

Software Pirate

Flailing Boom Boom
His is name is a reference to Boom Boom, the mini-boss found in every mid-world castle in Super Mario Bros. 3. Boom Booms' battle technique is simply jumping around the room and flailing their arms, hence the name. His great finger-painting skills earn him thousands of coins.

Sun of Displeasure

His name derives from the Sleepy Sheep item, where, after a herd of sheep run over the opponent, the player can see one last sheep running distanced from the herd. His hobbies include playing a pretend guitar and singing with his reflection in a mirror.

Infinity Shlurp
His name comes from the Shlurp, an enemy from Super Paper Mario. He has an odd habit of going, "SHLURP SHLURP SHLURP!" The "Infinity" part of his name may be a reference to the fact that Shlurps are invincible to all attacks and only die from swallowing Boomer - therefore they can be attacked an infinite number of times with no effect.

Spanner of Rock
His name comes from Rocky Wrench ("spanner" is another term for "wrench"). By far, he is the best at the wrench throwing game at the carnival.

Star of Seven Shards
This could be a reference to Star Shards from the last two Paper Mario games, but more likely to the subtitle of Super Mario RPG, "Legend of the Seven Stars". He spends every moment of spare time polishing his armor so it shines and glitters.

Micro Boomba
His name is a pun on both Micro Goombas and Boombas. He is said to enjoy watching Flint Cragley's Cragtrotter.

Steel Clubba
His name is a reference to Clubba. However, Steel Clubba makes two references to the giant Clubba boss from Paper Mario, Tubba Blubba. The first is that he decides to consult his master atop a hill (Tubba Blubba's castle is atop a hill, and he is the lord of Clubbas), and he wishes to start his life anew (Tubba Blubba decides to stop eating ghosts and fade into obscurity). It may be noted that Tubba Blubba was invincible for the majority of Chapter 3 in Paper Mario, possibly making "Steel" be a reference to his invincibility.

Staggering Dizzy Fuzzy
This Sammer Guy refers to the enemy Fuzzy. It also refers to their behavior in Yoshi's Island, in which they caused Yoshi to become dizzy. Staggering Dizzy Fuzzy's line "Has the prophecy come true? 'Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy?'" refers to the well-known level in which Fuzzys appeared in Yoshi's Island: Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy. He once created a new dance craze just by staggering on a dance floor.

Infinite Jump
His name is a pun on Jump, or when the player could keep jumping on the enemies on stairways in Super Mario Bros. to get as many lives as they want.

He is not famous, but just in case, he practices his autograph every day.

Smiling Cloud
His name is a reference to the clouds Lakitus ride on, or the clouds that appear in Super Mario Bros., both of which have smiling faces. He apparently believed that, since he was a smiling warrior, no one could fight him back. Thus he would tell them to stand there and take their defeat. When defeated, he claims that you lost a lot of honor from beating up a smiling warrior. His heart breaks when the sky is overcast.

Bullet Bull
His name is a reference to the Bullet Bill. His pre-battle taunt, saying that brown is "the next generation", is actually a reference to how many next-gen games have monotone palettes.

An incredibly powerful Sammer Guy, End Boss can breathe fire, use a rolling attack, and attack with his club. He also has a spike on his head, making jump attacks useless (unless Carrie is used). Despite his name, it is possible to have him as the second-to-last, or third-to-last Boss.
