Johnson (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)

Johnson is an X-Naut Trooper who appears briefly in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Very little is known about Johnson.

Johnson appears in a scene very early in the game. After Mario beats a tutorial battle with Lord Crump (in an attempt to save Goombella from him), the disgruntled X-Naut official summons several of his henchmen to attack Mario and his new friend. Thankfully, Goombella and Mario manage to escape the melee safely, leaving the X-Nauts to pummel Lord Crump. Angrier than ever, Crump calls off his force to realize that his victims had vamoosed. Upon this epiphany, he addresses Johnson in a question of where they went before quickly opening that question to anyone who might know. It is unknown if Johnson (who seems to appear identical to a normal X-Naut Trooper) ever appears again.

Trivia

 * Another minor Johnson who was given a name in a suspiciously similar manner appeared in Super Paper Mario. As such, minor characters by the name of "Johnson" may be a running joke in the Paper Mario series.
