Rip Cheato



In Paper Mario, a shady character named Rip Cheato sells you items for 64 coins in the last room of Toad Town Tunnels. He has a few Star Pieces for sale, but he also has junk items like the Dried Shroom.

The pipe in his room leads to the blue locked house in Toad Town near Tayce T.. The pipe makes a convenient secondary entrance/exit to the tunnels.

The Items are always acquired in a set order, as follows.


 * 1st purchase............Star Piece
 * 2nd purchase............Life Shroom
 * 3rd purchase............Bump Attack Badge
 * 4th purchase............Repel Gel
 * 5th purchase............Star Piece
 * 6th purchase............Super Shroom
 * 7th purchase............Mushroom
 * 8th purchase............Dried Shroom
 * 9th purchase............Dried Shroom
 * 10th purchase...........Star Piece
 * 11th purchase and on....Dried Shroom

That's 640 coins in total to get all three Star Pieces.

His equivalent, Chet Rippo, also appears in Paper Mario, as well as in the sequel, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where he looks much different.
