'''Wonky''' is an information seller who lives in the [[Rogueport Sewers]] and is found in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He resides in [[Herb T.]]'s Cola Bar. For five [[coin]]s, he will give [[Mario]] information about legends, hidden treasures, or gossip. He may tell Mario anything from legends of the pirate king [[Cortez]] to gossip about [[Zess T.]]'s long lost sister. To find him, Mario must travel to the underground city below [[Rogueport]]. Wonky is shaped like an egg and his species is unknown. Wonky can also be seen in the Paper Game at the [[Pianta Parlor]]. In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Wonky's role was replaced by [[Garson]] and [[Carson]]. | '''Wonky''' is an information seller who lives in the [[Rogueport Sewers]] and is found in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

Each story of Wonky's, like the ones Mario can hear from [[Grifty]], can be heard numerous times once he buys them, but are only open to him from Wonky as he progresses in the game.

These stories are in alphabetical order, not chronological. | Each story of Wonky's, like the ones Mario can hear from [[Grifty]], can be heard numerous times once he buys them, but are only open to him from Wonky as he progresses in the game.
