'''Bestovius''' is a powerful sage that appears in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' who is also the Dimensional Governor of [[Lineland]] and the so-called "Flip Wizard". He is responsible for granting [[Mario]] the ability to switch between the second and third dimensions, an ability that the game showcases throughout the entire story. He tries to charge Mario a huge sum of [[coin]]s for the enchantment, but he eventually settles for a very small price or for free. His name is a pun on the word "bestow", as he bestows upon Mario the ability to flip between dimensions. He is found at the beginning of Chapter 1-1. | '''Bestovius''' is a powerful sage that appears in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' who is also the Dimensional Governor of [[Lineland]] and the so-called "Flip Wizard".

He tries to charge Mario a huge sum of [[coin]]s for the enchantment, but he eventually settles for a very small price or for free. His name is a pun on the word "bestow", as he bestows upon Mario the ability to flip between dimensions. It may also be a pun on "best of us", due to his arrogant personality. He is found at the beginning of Chapter 1-1. | ||

Bestovius believes that people from another dimension listen to him, and | Bestovius thinks highly of himself and is a descendant of the [[Tribe of Ancients]]. He is also a distant cousin of [[Merlon]] and [[Merlee]], and is a direct cousin of [[Old Man Watchitt]]. If Mario and friends return the [[You-Know-What]] from Watchitt to Bestovius, Bestovius will give Mario the [[Training Machine]] (an item resembling a [[Nintendo DS]]) that he had promised [[Merluvlee]]. According to Bestovius, he no longer needs it because he got a newer, sleeker model. | ||
Bestovius believes that people from another dimension can listen to him, and also that they would wish to know that Mario can flip dimensions with {{button|wii|A}}. This is, indeed, breaking the [[fourth wall]], just as [[Thoreau]] does later in Chapter 1-2. | |||
Bestovius appears in volume 37 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. | |||
