List of Sammer Guys
This is a comprehensive list of all 100 Sammer Guys from Super Paper Mario. The majority of Sammer Guys have a name which is a pun on something Nintendo-related.
Sammer's Kingdom (Rounds 1-25)
Jade Blooper
- “I am known as Jade Blooper, Keeper of the first-- Wait, you are that challenger from before! You fled this land like a crying whelp... The hole in the sky is gone, but the challenge stands until a victor is found! If you desire the king's treasure, step forth and challenge my skill. Leave the palace before the 100th fight ends, and your progress will be lost. And with it, your family's HONOR!”
- —Jade Blooper, Super Paper Mario
Template:Sammerguy The guardian of the 1st gate. His name is a reference to Bloopers, while the "Jade" part may refer to his green armor. It is implied that most, if not all, undertakers of the Duel of 100 fall to him, as he recognizes the player as the hero of legend immediately upon defeat. Despite this, other Sammer Guys imply that they have battled other challengers. He smells rather fishy and often talks about honor and shame.
Hills With Eyes
- “I SEE YOU! Look upon Hill with Eyes, keeper of the 2nd gate! You run along the earth, attacking immobile blocks... AND I SEE YOU! You leap above deep pits, dodging wandering beasts... AND I WATCH YOU! Soon you will fall in battle by my merciless hand... AND I LAUGH AT YOU!”
- —Hill With Eyes, Super Paper Mario
Template:Sammerguy The guardian of the 2nd gate. His name may be a reference to the various hills and other background objects that have a set of eyes, but possibly also to the film The Hills Have Eyes. He claims to always be watching the player. Sometime before the events of Super Paper Mario, he lost a staring contest to King Sammer and hasn't recovered from it ever since.

Squatting Birdo
- “Soon, challenger, you will scream in terror at the name of the FLIGHTLESS BIRD! For I am Squatting Birdo, ever-hunkering guardian of the 4th gate! Now you will know the fury of the most deadly fighting style. Birdo...SQUAT!”
- —Squatting Birdo, Super Paper Mario
Template:Sammerguy The guardian of the 4th game, and also the first Sammer Guy with a mace. His name is a reference to Birdos, though it may also be a reference to how the names of Ostros 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.
Leeping Cheep
- “Tell me, challenger, have you ever tried to catch a jumping fish with your bare hands? You will know the frustration soon, for I am Leeping Cheep, keeper of the 5th gate! The Cheep Cheep soars in the air and strike sits prey like a fishy tsunami!”

Master Wiggler

- —Shoe of Kuribo, Super Paper Mario
Template:Sammerguy The guardian of the 7th gate. His name is a reference to Goomba's Shoe, which was originally called "Kuribo's Shoe". He has a habit of saying "STOMPOW!" often. He often changes his shoes every month.

Template:Sammerguy The guardian of the 9th gate. His name is a spoof on an unrelated Mario animal, the 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.
Koopa in Winter
- “And so you come at last... like a young bloom poking through an early spring snow. I am called Koopa in Winter. I wait, immobile, by the 10th gate. The plant that blooms early freezes and perishes...and so, too, shall you!”
- —Koopa in Winter, Super Paper Mario
Template:Sammerguy A Big Sammer Guy who is the guardian of the 10th gate, named after Koopa Troopas. For unknown reasons, he cries every time he looks at a sunset, although it may be because since his name implies that he is a being of snow, the tears represent him "melting".
Footsteps of Coins
- “The 11th gate... A place of power. And here you find Footsteps of Coins! Tell me, warrior, do you walk with your eyes open? Do you see many coins? Coins in blocks, coins on clouds... Everywhere there are coins glittering. it is I who leave them. It is I who wander the wide world, coins falling from my heels. Does this mean other should pick up my coins? OF COURSE NOT! The coins are mine alone! And now, I will make change out of YOU! CHA-CHING!”
- —Footsteps of Coins, Super Paper Mario
Template:Sammerguy The guardian of the 11th gate. He asks the duelists if they ever wondered who put the coins all over the place. He claims that it is him, and that it isn't 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.
Urchin Lung
- “So, you challenge your skill in the Duel of 100? I am the guardian of the 12th gate... Urchin Lung. Hah hah. So... You must be wondering, "How many more of these guys must I fight?" FOOL!

- —Crow Who Eats, Super Paper Mario
Template:Sammerguy The guardian of the 13th gate, and also the first red Sammer Guy. His name refers to "eating crow," meaning to be proven wrong after taking a strong position, which is proven by the fact that, upon defeat, he actually states that it is "he who must eat crow." He likes to taunt his opponents, which gets awkward whenever he loses.
Swollen Tongue
- “Hewwo, pwaything! I am Swollen Tongue, master of the 14th gate... Flear me! You shall not gas! Wait, I mean gwass! I mean...PASS! Oh, who cares! Lettuce fight! Gahh!”
- —Swollen Tongue, Super Paper Mario
Template:Sammerguy The guardian of the 14th gate. He is a Green Sammer Guy with a mustache and a spike. He often makes malapropisms because of his bad tongue (for example, when he wants to say "Bye now!" he says "Buy now!"). His malapropisms usually make his traditional pre-battle taunts a little hard for him.
Slipping Grip
- “The foe you face next is Slipping Grip, fearless guardian of the 15th gate. I am a new student of the Sweaty Palm Martial Arts Academy... But I recently passed my Slapatology exam with the highest marks! Now it is you who reap the benefits of my industrious note taking!”

Mystical Whistle
