Sammer Guy

Sammer Guys are vassals in Super Paper Mario that fight for King Sammer. There are 100 of them in all, each guarding a gate for their King to fight challengers. There are two sub-species: Small Sammer Guy and Big Sammer Guy. There are also many variants of each type, but those are just different kinds of weapons and armor a Sammer Guy uses, making those all Sammer Guys as well.

Their name is a pun of "samurai". Almost all individual names of Sammer Guys are puns on things from previous Mario games. Sammer Guys also tend to behave very humorously, especially in terms of dialogue. Also, Tippi's tattle on them are notable for being completely unhelpful, only telling random information about each Sammer Guy, such as how Zesty Recipe makes warm, gooey brownies for the Sammer Guy break hour. However, tattling Jade Blooper when fighting him the first time does yield stats on Sammer Guys in general.

According to Garson in the Flipside Bar, the Sammer Guys were the offspring of King Sammer I and Merlumina's younger sister.
