Rocko is a member of the Pianta Syndicate and a lackey of Don Pianta who appears in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Goombella refers to him as "the low man on the totem pole", as he was just employed and initiated. Rocko works as a bouncer and keeps the Pianta Parlor running smoothly. He doesn't have any significant effect on the plot of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He, and his brother Tony, make a short appearance in the begining of the game, while Toadsworth talks to Mario and Goombella. However Mario, Toadswoth and Goombella don't notice them. Vinny looks a lot like Rocko and Tony.
