"Chuck Quizmo's the name, and quizzes are my game! You want quizzes, I got 'em! If you can manage to answer my brain-busting questions correctly, then... Y... Yaa... Yaaaaaahooo! I'll give you a Star Piece! Want to try a quiz?"

- Chuck Quizmo



Chuck Quizmo is a Quizmaster in Paper Mario. Chuck appears (along with assistant Vanna T.) in several towns throughout the game. When Mario talks to him, they are both transported to a stage where Chuck will ask Mario a question. If Mario answers correctly, he will receive a Star Piece, if he fails to answer correctly he gets nothing.

He appears near the left fence in Goomba Village, near Koopa Koot's house, near Merlon's house, the second area of Dry Dry Outpost, Shiver City, Yoshi's Village, and, very rarely, Star Haven. He asks sixty-four questions in total.

In Toad Town Tunnels, three blue Warp Pipes are arranged in a row to Koopa Village, Goomba Village, and Dry Dry Outpost. Go back and forth between these to find him easily. However, repeatedly entering the pipes may not always work. After all sixty-four questions are answered correctly, he stops appearing.

Trivia

 * Chuck Quizmo's quiz was the beginning of the running gag of quizzes in the Paper Mario series taking place in a game show stage, despite Mario never moving from where he found Quizmo (such as Koopa Village). This quiz also had the first Audience in a Paper Mario game, though it had no function.
 * Many people mistook MC Ballyhoo for Chuck Quizmo (or a creature similar to him) when the boxart for Mario Party 8 was first released; this was because the parts of MC Ballyhoo visible made him appear to have a very similar appearance to Chuck. When the full artwork of MC Ballyhoo (which showed off his lower half and legs) was released, though, fans realized that he was a separate entity than Chuck Quizmo (although the two characters still have suspiciously similar faces).
 * In Super Paper Mario, a Sammer Guy named Quizmo Question That Has No Answer appears, as an obvious reference to Chuck Quizmo.
