Thoreau
Thoreau is a character in the Wii video game Super Paper Mario. He is one of the many Pixl creatures that Mario will find in the game. This Pixl allows all of the characters (which include Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser, and Luigi) to pick up the enemy and then throw them. This attack first originated from Super Mario Bros. 2, or Doki Doki Panic on the NES. His name was revealed in the 214th issue of Nintendo Power magazine. According to Tippi, Thoreau "sounds posh and upper class, but he's not afraid to get his hands dirty." He has been locked away for 1,500 years until Mario saves him in the first chapter.
Trivia
- His name is an intentional misspelling of the word "throw", referring to his ability.
- It is also possible that his name is based off of real-life philosopher Henry David Thoreau.
- Interestingly, Thoreau resembles a hand, his head being the palm and the five circles being the fingers, this perhaps being a nod to his special ability.
