'''Kolorado''' is a bold (although somewhat foolish), mustachioed [[Koopa]] explorer in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Mario can first hear of the famous adventurer during his visit to [[Koopa Village]]. [[Kooper]] mentions that Kolorado is his role model, and if Mario enters his house (the one with the yellow roof), he can meet[[Kolorado's Wife]],who is angry that her husband is constantly away from home. A [[Letter]] addressed to Kolorado can also be found on [[Mt. Rugged]]. | '''Kolorado''' is a bold (although somewhat foolish), mustachioed [[Koopa]] explorer in ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

Mario and his [[partner]]s can meet Kolorado when they journey to [[Dry Dry Desert]] in an attmept to rescue the [[Star Spirit]] [[Mamar]]. Kolorado, along with a group of fellow explorers, is there to find the treasure of the famous [[Dry Dry Ruins]]. When Mario discovers the Dry Dry Ruins (which is where Mamar is hidden), he can find an [[Artifact]] to give to Kolorado. Later, Kolorado sends Mario a letter, stating that he finally found the ruins (which, unbeknowst to him, was because Mario had called it from the ground), but had not found any treasure there. [[Moustafa]] also sends Mario a letter saying he saw a "suspicious looking Koopa" messing around the ruins. He was probably referring to Kolorado. | Mario and his [[partner]]s can meet Kolorado when they journey to [[Dry Dry Desert]] in an attmept to rescue the [[Star Spirit]] [[Mamar]].

After the game is beaten, Kolorado and Kooper organize an expedition to [[Shiver City]] to actually travel to Crystal Palace, fulfilling Kolorado's past plans. When they get there, though, they are stopped by [[Parakarry]], who gives Kolorado a message from his infuriated wife, forcing him to forestall the expedition and return to Koopa Village. Kolorado is later seen alongside his wife (who seems to show no sign of anger at the wayward Koopa) in the game's ending parade, where he waves to the [[player]] atop a float based on the Whale and is sprayed into the air. | After the game is beaten, Kolorado and Kooper organize an expedition to [[Shiver City]] to actually travel to Crystal Palace, fulfilling Kolorado's past plans.

Kolorado is mentioned several times during ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. [[Goombella]] informs Mario that Kolorado was a student of the renowned scientist [[Professor Frankly]], and in [[Hooktail Castle]], the bones of his [[Kolorado's Father|his father]] can be found. (His father was a fellow adventurer who died while exploring the castle.) If Mario reads [[Lumpy]] the [[Ratooey]]'s journal, he will discover that at some point Kolorado went back to Dry Dry Desert and that Lumpy encountered him there.

Kolorado is consistently portrayed as | Kolorado is consistently portrayed as extremely courageous, willing to go into the depths of Mt. Lavalava to find treasure. As [[Raphael the Raven]] comments, this bravery often gives way to foolishness; Kolorado is also an ignorant character in his comical misnamings of the whale as a tuna and Misstar as a starfish. Kolorado is a generally friendly character who is willing to help, but despite his intentions, never actually aids Mario in his quest. In fact, he is shown to be very weak; during his time on Lavalava Island, he is attacked by both [[Jungle Fuzzy|Jungle Fuzzies]] and [[Spear Guy]]s, and is unable to fight back against either of them, requiring Mario to assist him. This paradox of courage and inability to fight is clearly shown when Kolorado attempts to help Mario in fighting the Lava Piranha; although he rushes courageously at the monster, he is easily beat back without laying a hand on him. | ||

Although there is no voice-acting in ''Paper Mario'', Kolorado's text seems to hint at an English accent. He often uses phrases such as "tally-ho". | ||
