The guardian of the 4th gate, and also the first Sammer Guy with a mace. His name is a reference to [[Birdo]]s, though it may also be a reference to how the names of [[Ostro]]s and Birdos were mixed up in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' credits as he mentions they are a type of flightless bird. He is the first Sammer Guy to employ a [[Ninjoe]]. He is heard to be the true master of the Squatting Birdo stance according to [[Tippi]]'s/[[Tiptron]]'s tattle.

The guardian of the 8th gate. His name references [[Fryguy]]. He claims to be the master of the "Dripping Magma Punch". His tattle states that his diet is deep-fried foods.

The guardian of the 9th gate. His name is a spoof on an unrelated ''Super Mario'' animal, the {{wp|mantis|praying mantis}}. As his name implies, he shrieks and screams quite often, so much so that he must take lozenges when his throat gets hoarse.

The guardian of the 11th gate. He asks the duelists if they ever wondered who put the [[coin]]s all over the place. He claims that it is him, and that it is not right for anyone to be taking his coins all the time. He also has a lesser-known brother called Footsteps of Meat. This could be a reference to a side-scrolling mini-game from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' in which the player controls Bowser in a ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' setting, collecting pieces of [[meat]] as power-ups.

The guardian of the 15th gate, and the second best student at the Sweaty Palm Martial Arts Academy. The two Sammer Guys after him are his brothers, Clammy Hand and Forbidden Slap, and like him, are blue with a mustache.

The guardian of the 29th gate. He is a reference to the [[Recorder|Magic Whistle]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. He says that he hides in the Duel of 100 to keep his power safe, referring to how the Magic Whistle was only found in hidden locations. He calls those who use whistles to skip worlds "cheaters". Whenever he goes near dogs, they often run away from him, which is a reference to {{wp|dog whistles}}.

{{quote2|Some men dance on dance floors... Some men dance in jubilant celebration... And some men dance on the heads of [[Koopa Troopa|turtle]]s... I AM THAT MAN. I am... Dances on Turtles. Today, it is you who are the turtle!|Dances on Turtles|[[Super Paper Mario]]}}

The guardian of the 31st gate. His name refers to the basic technique for attacking enemies in the Mario series, jumping on them; Dances on Turtles can be another way of saying "Jumps on Koopas". After his defeat, he references another way of attacking enemies, "[[Slide|sliding]] down hills INTO turtles". He doesn't cope well with technology and often freaks out on the sight of any machinery with buttons on them. He is the seventh Sammer Guy to not mention his gate number during his introduction speech.

During the weekends, he likes to relax on his couch throughout the day.

The guardian of the 41st gate. This Sammer Guy's name is a reference to the [[Angry Sun]]. He finds it very difficult to make friends, likely due to the "burning" feeling he has inside. He is the eighth and final Sammer Guy to not introduce his gate number.

All worlds are linked, and I travel among them! No, I will not show you how. Such Power is not for you, who would cheat through life. True warriors must see all worlds before skipping among them.

{{quote2|Twinkle and glitter I do, for I am [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star of Seven Shards]]! You are drawn to my shimmer at the 49th gate like a moth to a flame!

The guardian of the 53rd gate. His name references [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s. It is unclear where the "Squatting" part comes from, though it may refer to the [[crouch|move]] used to execute the [[Crouching High Jump|Power Squat Jump]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. His name is similar to Squatting Birdo. Several years ago before the events of ''Super Paper Mario'', he was brought out of the season due to back pain.

The guardian of the 57th gate. His name references [[Piranha Plant]]s' roots. He owns a giant garden at his house, which is completely taken over by weeds.

He is saluted by other Sammer Guys at the start of each day.

The guardian of the 59th gate. His name is a pun on [[Cheep Chomp]] and the {{wp|knifehand strike|karate chop}}, a classic martial arts move. He learned all his moves from looking at comic books, a reference to the {{wp|kung-fu}} craze that swept the U.S. during the early 1970's.

The guardian of the 61st gate. His name comes from the [[Vegetable]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', some of which appear to be sleeping. He does not get very much sleep, making him often late for work. [[Tiptron]] comments in his tattle that he should consider buying an alarm clock.

The guardian of the 65th gate. His name references [[Chain Chomp]]. Whenever he eats around other people, he makes loud chomping sounds.

The guardian of the 66th gate. His name references [[Monty Mole]] and the fact that Monty Moles only pop up from the ground to attack once the player comes near. He has a hypocritical and impatient personality and does not like when he has to wait for other people.

It also refers to their behavior in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Yoshi's Island]]'', in which they caused Yoshi to become dizzy. Staggering Dizzy Fuzzy's line "Is it the ancient prophecy? 'Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy?'" refers to the well-known level in which Fuzzies appeared in ''Yoshi's Island'': [[Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy]].

The guardian of the 77th gate. His name is a pun on [[Rip Van Fish]] and Ripper, referencing his sword. Rip Van Fish itself is a reference to a piece of classic literature "{{wp|Rip Van Winkle}}". This is supported by his references to sleep, as Van Winkle slept for 20 years. After being defeated, he states that he must find a way to count Cheep Cheeps. However, when talked to, he states that he must count [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]]es instead. He has tried to sleep underwater dozens of times, but because he can't breathe underwater, his attempts weren't successful.

The guardian of the 78th gate. His name references when the player can keep jumping on the enemies on stairways in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' to get as many lives as they want. Each day, he practices his autograph in preparation for his opportunity to get famous.

The guardian of the 80th gate. His name is a reference to [[Crazee Dayzee]]s, but the fact that he is merciless may be a nod towards the [[Amazy Dayzee]], which can deal up to 20 damage and put the target to sleep with one attack in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. He is highly sensitive about his name, as [[Tiptron]] suggests that no one should laugh at him for it.

The guardian of the 81st gate. His name is a reference to the [[Lakitu's Cloud|clouds]] [[Lakitu]]s ride on, or the [[Cloud Block|clouds]] that appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', both of which have smiling faces.

The guardian of the 86th gate. His name references the [[Super Star]] item, and the way it bounces across the ground when it comes out of a [[? Block]]. When defeated, he talks about a song formerly playing in his head which would spur him to fight, which the player "robbed" him of.

To pass time, he draws pictures of ponies while waiting for his opponents to arrive.

The guardian of the 95th gate. His name references the [[Tanooki Suit]]. He hates heat and is always trying to convince King Sammer to install an air conditioner.

The guardian of the 100th and final gate. His name is fittingly a reference to the last boss in a game. When End Boss is defeated, he attempts to cue end credits. End Boss can breathe fire, use a rolling attack, and attack with his club. Despite his name, it is possible for him to not be the final boss, as the player can battle [[Wracktail]] and [[Shadoo]] after him. One year before the events of ''Super Paper Mario'', he had won a Sammy at the Sammer Awards for the Best Final Boss Performance.
