'''Cudge''' is a [[Pixl]] in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He is the eighth Pixl found in the game, and one of the twelve original Pixls created by the [[Tribe of Ancients|Ancients]]. His name comes from "cudgel", referring to a blunt weapon such as a [[Hammer]], which Cudge manifests in the user's hands to replace actual Hammers featured in past ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' games. Cudge can be used to destroy both easily seen or camouflaged [[yellow block]]s. He notes that he was not always a [[Pixl]], meaning that Pixls might not be an actual species, but just transformed beings. (Indeed, [[Carson]] reveals in one of his many stories that Pixls are created through putting the spirit of an unknown entity into a man-made vessel designed for a certain purpose.)

'''Cudge''' is a [[Pixl]] in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He is the eighth Pixl found in the game. His name is a pun on "cudgel", which refers to a blunt weapon, such as a [[Hammer]], which Cudge is used as, replacing actual Hammers featured in past ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' games. Cudge can be used to destroy both easily seen or camouflaged [[Yellow Block]]s. Interestingly, he notes that he was not always a [[Pixl]], meaning that Pixls might not be an actual species, but just a transformed being.

Cudge is found in [[Gap of Crag]] after the heroes insert the [[Elemental Tablets]] into the pillars. Before he joins the team, he asks the [[player]] what his or her favorite word is. The word typed in is what Cudge will scream out (with an exclamation mark) afterwards (e.g. If the player types in "MARIO", Cudge will scream "MARIO!"). He then joins the team. [[Tippi]] doesn't seem to hold very high opinions of him, as she calls him a big oaf in one of her area [[Tattle]]s in the [[Gap of Crag]].

Cudge is a Pixl in the game Super Paper Mario. He is the eighth Pixl found in the game, and one of the twelve original Pixls created by the Ancients. His name comes from "cudgel", referring to a blunt weapon such as a Hammer, which Cudge manifests in the user's hands to replace actual Hammers featured in past Paper Mario games. Cudge can be used to destroy both easily seen or camouflaged yellow blocks. He notes that he was not always a Pixl, meaning that Pixls might not be an actual species, but just transformed beings. (Indeed, Carson reveals in one of his many stories that Pixls are created through putting the spirit of an unknown entity into a man-made vessel designed for a certain purpose.) This Catch Card description may be referring to this when it says "he's a real people Pixl", or it may be referring to him having good social abilities.
