Pixl

Pixls are a ally species of Mario and company. Their first, and currently only, appearance is in Super Paper Mario. In this game, the Pixls teach Mario, Peach, and Bowser special moves, like picking up people and throwing them. Nintendo Power volume 214 has stated that some Pixls will serve as explosives or act as a floating platform for Mario or another character to jump on. There are currently several known Pixls, but only ten have official names, which are Thoreau, Tippi, Boomer, Slim, Carrie, Thudley, Fleep, Barry, Dottie, and Cudge. In many images, it is seen that a character has two Pixls out at one time. Tippi is always active.

Each Pixl is very bright and has it's own unique shape. Tippi looks like a butterfly and Thoreau is a square with five small circles on it's top half. Boomer resembles a Bob-omb with wings. Slim is an upside down triangle (also strangely resembles a spiral) with wings. Carrie is made up of a bunch of small squares,that when folded the right way,turns into a cube platform. His/Her face is the middle square (He/She also has wings). Thudley looks like a 100-ton steel block with 2 circular eyes floating above. Fleep looks like a big rectangle with wings and a tail. Barry is a spikey little pixl. Dottie is a ball with many long rectangles spreaded around her. Cudge looks like a hammer with wings.
