Sushie

"Uh-huh... Oh... Oh! You're going to the volcano because you want to save the princess from some bad guys? What...a touching story! Romantic stories like that... just touch a soft spot in this heart of mine. That does it! I can't let you go alone! I, Sushie, will be by your side until the end!"

- Sushie

Sushie is Mario's seventh party member in Paper Mario. In Super Paper Mario, Sushie appears as a Catch Card found on the eightieth floor of the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials, as well as on a photo in Mario's house.

Her pause menu description states that she "loves romantic stories and cries at the drop of a fin", implying that she is very sensitive and soft-hearted.

According to the Yoshi children, she is very bossy.

History
At Lavalava Island, Mario enters Yoshi's Village and finds that five Yoshi children are missing. Their babysitter, a Cheep-Cheep named Sushie, asks Mario to help her find them. When they find the 5 Yoshis, Mario tells Sushie about his quest. Sushie says it's a very romantic story and joins the party. During the fight with Lava Piranha, Sushie's water attacks are quite helpful.

After Mario reaches a dock, he can ride on her back on the surface of water and dive underneath if he chooses.

Sushie has a daughter named Sashimie. During the game, Sashimie sends her mother a letter, stating that she is going to have a baby, meaning Sushie will soon be a grandmother.

Tattle

 * "She's a Cheep-Cheep. Her name is Sushie. She's sort of meddlesome. At least that's what the Yoshi kids say. According to them, she tries to control their lives. I think she's just trying to take care of them, but she doesn't seem to be succeeding."

Trivia

 * Like the other Paper Mario partners, Sushie was originally going to appear with updated sprites in the sequel, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. However, she and most of the others were removed for unknown reasons.
 * Oddly, Sushie is the only partner who does not have any sprite data in Super Paper Mario. All the other partners do though.
 * Sushie is the only partner in Paper Mario that didn't have any prior knowledge of Mario (as she, herself, states that she's never heard of him).
 * Sushie is referred to as "he" and "him" on her Super Rank description, when she's actually female. The same applies to Watt.
 * Sushie's ability to help Mario get across water from wooden planks is almost identical to the ability given to Mario by the final Black Chest Demon in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the ability to turn into a paper boat.
 * Sushie (without the e) is a famous Japanese dish.
