List of minor NPCs in Paper Mario

Throughout Paper Mario, there exist several NPCs that are not named in any way. The following is a list of them.

During the party at the beginning of the game
Luigi, Frost T., Russ T., Tayce T., the Toad Minister, Mayor Penguin and the following characters can be found at the party at the beginning of the game.

Entrance scene

 * * Mario can hear this quote by entering the scene from the Goomba Village area, via Toad Town Tunnels, so that he has a chance of talking to this Toad before the Shy Guy runs out of Russ T.'s house.
 * ** These quotes can only be heard outside the house, so it is unclear to which members of the family they belong. The assignment here is according to the grouping of the quotes in the game's coding.

Southwestern scene
Besides the characters listed below, the Great Gossip Trio and the Rangers are also found here.

Koopa Village
Koopa Village is home to Koover, Mort T., Kolorado, Kolorado's wife, Kooper, Bruce (after Chapter 1), Koopa Koot, as well as several unnamed Koopa Troopas and Bob-omb refugees.

Koopa Bros. Fortress
Four Bob-ombs are imprisoned in the basement of Koopa Bros. Fortress along with Bombette in Chapter 1. After the Koopa Bros. are defeated, they will be absent, having moved to Koopa Village.



Mt. Rugged
Several Toads (including a Dryite) can be found near the Mt. Rugged station of Dry Dry Railroad. Mario can also find a Whacka and a Bub-ulb on the mountain.



Dry Dry Desert
Dry Dry Desert is where Kolorado's team and Nomadimouse can be found. Kolorado's team (and the camp) will be absent after Mario visits Fice T. near the beginning of Chapter 3.




 * * After Kolorado receives the Artifact from Mario.

Forever Forest
Forever Forest is home to Oaklie and an unnamed Bub-ulb.

Boo's Mansion
Boo's Mansion is home to many Boos. Mario can talk to Bootler, Franky, Igor, and three unnamed Boos listed below.

Gusty Gulch
A lot of peasant Boos can be found in Gusty Gulch, although Stanley is eaten during Tubba Blubba's invasion in Chapter 3. After Tubba Blubba is defeated, he releases all the Boos in his stomach, and as a result two more Boos appear in the east of the gulch. The Boos are listed below from west to east.


 * * After Mario defeats Tubba Blubba but before he touches the card imprisoning Skolar (i.e. before Chapter 3 is cleared).

Yoshi's Village

 * * After the Ravens build a pulley to Mt. Lavalava in Jade Jungle under Raphael the Raven's order, one Raven will stay near the pulley on the tree while the others go back to Yoshi's Village. At this point the fourth Raven is missing in Yoshi's Village, but the Raven that stays in Jade Jungle shares the first Raven's tattle, probably due to a programming error.

Jade Jungle
Jade Jungle is home to Raphael the Raven and an unnamed Bub-ulb.
 * * This tattle is shared with the Bub-ulb in the southern part of Toad Town. The game's coding has an unused tattle "It's a flower, I guess. It doesn't seem to move like an ordinary flower, though." at this position, so it is probably a programming error.

Flower Fields
Flower Fields is home to the following NPCs as well as four Bub-ulbs and three unnamed flower gate guardians:
 * Wise Wisterwood
 * Tolielip
 * Petunia
 * Posie
 * Lily
 * Rosie
 * Bubble Plant (the only named gate guardian)
 * Lakilulu (Lakilester's girlfriend)
 * The Sun
 * Three Lakitus and a Yellow Magikoopa guarding the Puff Puff Machine. Goombario's tattle states: "These followers of Bowser run the Puff Puff Machine. They're continuing their evil plan to fill this fair land with clouds. Boy, Bowser and his goons think up the strangest ways to mess with our world, huh? They're really quite creative."


 * * This quote does not occur in normal gameplay, because Mario can only obtain Red Berries at this point.

Shiver City
Shiver City is where Mayor Penguin and his wife, Herringway, the penguin patrol, and several other unnamed penguins and Toads can be found. The following table lists the unnamed characters from west to east.

Starborn Valley
Starborn Valley is home to Merle, Frost T., and several unnamed Star Kids, Ninjis and Toads.

Star Haven
Star Haven is home to several unnamed Stars. Four of them can be found in the open air; the rest reside in houses.

Bowser's Castle
As Mario finds his way in Bowser's Castle in Chapter 8, he will encounter characters invited to the party at Peach's Castle at the beginning of the game and imprisoned after Bowser's takeover of the castle. Mario also encounters a Spiked Goomba opening the Storehouse.
