Pokeys Are Ghouls
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door an interesting fact about Pokeys is revealed in Goombella's tattle log. The Tattle Log states that Pokeys are "a cactus ghoul covered from head to base in nasty spines."
So, Pokeys are basically a type of Cactus Ghoul. Ghouls are creatures believed to exist in cemeteries and deserts which feast upon the flesh of the living, so I wonder. Written by Eris the Lorekeeper
Tattle on Waluigi!
That’s Waluigi! Luigi’s rival and Wario’s partner whenever anything competitive comes up. This guy’s kind of an oddball, if you ask me. Like, nobody really seems to know what his deal is? He’ll show up to play games (and usually be either a sore loser or winner about it, depending on the outcome) but other than that, what the heck does he do the rest of the time? Who knows, but what I can tell you is that he’s definitely kinda rude and full of himself, buuuut overall mostly harmless. Oh yeah, and he’s got a thing for saying the first syllable of his name. ...Side note, wow does he have some serious dark circles going on. He needs to get some sleep, some concealer, or both, STAT.

Spiny Eggs Are Not Eggs
So something I've questioned for a while if Spiny Eggs were actually eggs. As established in a previous post with the exception of Yoshis and Piranha Plants, all babies in the world including Koopas are delivered by stork.
Knowing this I've questioned exactly how Spiny Eggs work, since they are a species of turtles. It seemed out of the ordinary since their egg also seemed to be their shell which we know turtles can leave. An on top of that there is the whole stork thing. But eventually I would get my answer when lore hunting in Paper Mario 64.
In Paper Mario 64 when you get Goombario to use Tattle on a Spiny he says Spinys roll into Spiny Eggs and try to slam into Mario. Which we see happen. This actually remembers of how Bowser can roll up into a ball and roll and round in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Also, while I can't confirm this 100%, I recall in Super Mario Galaxy Bowser rolls up into a ball and attacks Mario.
Anyways something else that adds onto Spiny Eggs not being eggs is actually in Super Mario Bros. : The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach. Now while the OVA is indeed not canon to the games, it still information that we can pull from it that parallels to the main games, or contains ideas later games would expand upon. For example, the fact that Piranha Plants are flowers. Anyways in the OVA Mario and Luigi encounter a Lakitu that throws Spiny eggs at them. In this exchange he talks about awakening the Spinys from hibernation. This adds on to the fact Spiny Eggs not being eggs, but it could also indicate they are normally in hibernation mode until released.
Can she tattle on the most unnerving doppelganger of Mario? No i don't mean Doopliss I mean CD-I Mario from Hotel Mario. Brrrr just thinking about it sends chills up my spine!
That’s… M…Mario??? I guess??? Yikes, I see what you mean, anon. This version of him’s just… off. Like, uncanny valley off. I think it’s the way he moves, all stilted and jerky. From what my research is telling me, he’s not… that different from the Mario I know, in terms of background and any other stuff like that I could tell you about, but man does he give off a totally different vibe. Thank you, multiverse, for letting me live in a reality with my Mario and not this one.
Hey, could you Tattle on Alphys? From Undertale?
That’s Dr. Alphys, a monster from the Underground. She’s a scientist- mainly robotics and stuff like that, but I hear she’s also done a lot of research on SOULs and monster biology in general! It’s a totally different field from mine, but I still gotta respect a fellow scientist, y’know? Keep doing what you’re doing, girl! It’s folks like us that keep the world moving forward… even those of us who study the past!…Sorry, that was a little off-topic, huh? Anyway, she may be supersmart, but she’s not so great in the social department. Pretty awkward, and everything. It seems like she’s not the most truthful person, either… maybe she just wants other people to like her more than she likes herself. And, somehow there’s still something genuine about somebody who likes things as passionately as Alphys does. She’s got some stuff to work through for sure, but then again, who doesn’t, am I right?
Ohhh, can you tattle on some of the Ace Attorney folks?
That’s Phoenix Wright. Man, this guy’s hair could practically poke an eye out! He’s a rookie defense attorney, and he’s doing pretty well at it too! …Somehow I get the idea he’s always kinda flying by the seat of his pants, though. Doing things that way would totally stress me out, but hey, it seems to be working for him, so who am I to judge?
That’s Miles Edgeworth. Wow, talk about style, y'know what I mean? I wonder if he dresses like that even when he’s just chilling at home. Anyway, he’s a prosecutor, and they say he’d do anything for a guilty verdict. He talks all cold and arrogant, but I get the feeling he’s really a good guy deep down. And is it just me, or does he totally seem like he has a thing for Phoenix?
That’s Maya Fey. Her older sister, Mia, was Phoenix’s mentor. It must’ve been SO hard to lose her sister so young… Though she does seem like she’s managed to stay pretty cheery, so that’s good. Besides working on cases with Phoenix, she’s also a spirit medium in training- her whole family does that kinda stuff, sounds like! Ghosts totally freak me out, but I’ve gotta admire all the work she must be putting into that. Can’t be easy!
Goombella! Can you use Tattle on one of Mario's most infamous rivals? Sanic-er I mean Sonic the Hedgehog?
Sure I can; whether I will is a different story. :P
(Kidding, anon! I’m not gonna give such a lame answer to the first person to ask me something on here.)
That’s Sonic! …To be honest, he doesn’t really look that much like a hedgehog to me. Not that it really matters. Anyway, this guy’s suuuuuper fast- hence the name, I guess. He’s kinda cocky and impulsive, really not big on being held back in any way, but it also sounds like he’s pretty quick to help people out when they need it, which, like, I’ve gotta respect. Like you said, he and Mario have been rivals since way back around 1991 or so, but I get the idea it’s more of a friendly thing these days, y’know?
