NPC
Some of the NPC we saw...
Heronicus
We can found him living behind Saffron's restaurant after we got Boomer. His house shows objects from our adventures: there is the vase from Chapter 2-3, a Meowmaid-like relic, and a model of the two stone heads found in Chapter 4-2; atop his bookshelf, a dark rock from Outer Space, a totem pole from Downtown of Crag and a torch holder from The Underwhere can also be found. Heronicus additionally has a picture that may possibly depict a blue Squarp hole, and Flipping in his home reveals a picture of a sandy, dune-filled expanse resembling Yold Desert (Curiously, this picture actually shows the background Yold Desert possessed in the pre-release version of Super Paper Mario). Technilly, he spoil us without we notice.
Heronicus also appears briefly at the beginning of Chapter 6-1. After entering the room with Jade Blooper, the first Sammer Guy, Heronicus runs away and exits, apparently having lost to him. His name is also seen in the Flipside Arcade, where he holds the high scores of 550000 and 80000 in Mansion Patrol, and 100,0000 in Hammer Whacker.
Something curious, to say the least, after the game is beaten, Heronicus tells us that he spent a part of his life exploring to find a "legendary Pixl", with a partner. When they found this Pixl, there was a rock slide; Heronicus leaped into action and saved his partner, but the legendary Pixl was lost during the incident. This is the reason Heronicus stopped exploring. It is mentioned in Flopside by Hatch outside of the Flopside version of Heronicus's house that the person who lived there (presumably Heronicus's Flopside version) also went exploring for a legendary Pixl. Again, there was also a rock slide, but instead of saving his partner, he saved the Pixl instead. It is unknown where the Flopside Heronicus went, but the Pixl he saved was Piccolo, who is then found inside the house.... So keep a close eye on your friends 👀
Sipsi
According to Tippi, she is known as the "town gossip", and she is always the first to know anything that happens in town. She gives info about flipping dimensions when the player sees a row of coins. If the player talks to her after completing other chapters, they can hear her gossip about various other characters in the game.
One of 'em is what is shown in this image, and here another one that I am going to attach:
"I heard the hole in the sky was created by Count Bleck to destroy the world! And this Bleck guy hangs out with a foxy secretary type named Nastasia... So I wonder what's up between them... And I hear this Nastasia is a hypnotist, but her powers don't work on the count! Ladies need to watch out for men that are impervious to their feminine wiles..."
(A/N): I can't attach the others because I haven't been able to play because of my TV, I can't clearly see any of the games I have on my Wii, and I haven't found any gameplay that is shown.
One last fact is that, the Yold Ruin geographical setting has been used in the original Paper Mario, where Mt. Rugged is nestled before Dry Dry Desert. In fact, the mountain's environment is also similar to Mt. Rugged, despite its lack of Monty Moles, Clefts, or even some sort of bird.
Bestovious
He is 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 coins 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.
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 Watchitt.
Card Description: Bestovius taught Mario how to flip between dimensions. He talks about his beard and floats all the time. Other than that, he's perfectly normal.
Merlee
In the Paper Mario, Merlee is depicted as Merluvlee's twin sister and therefore also a sibling of Merlow. She resides in a hidden alley in Dry Dry Outpost and uses cards to power Mario up.
And, in a dialogue with Merlon (in this game), he reveals that she is his granddaughter. Although whether it is true or not is a mystery, since these genealogy are not 100% confirmed.
In TTYD, she has the same task as always.
The following facts about Merlee were revealed during the "That's My Merlee!" show:
Merlee was born on March 25.
Her favorite smell is fresh air.
Her favorite food is strawberries.
She washes her bangs first in the shower.
Her nickname is the "Bashful Ghost".
She has no preferred type of guy.
Her favorite animal is a bear cub.
Her hobbies include looking through catalogs for crystal balls.
She wants the newest kind of crystal ball.
Her best feature is the lobes of her ears.
In this game, Merlee is Merluvlee's rival, and has been ever since they were classmates.
When Mario and co. get the 3Ds for Merluvlee, she will give Merlee's Crystal Ball to Mario and friends. Merluvlee mentions that she and Merlee are 'even' when she gives the Crystal Ball, possibly a reference to the original Paper Mario, in which Mario had to give Merluvlee a crystal ball from Merlee.
When we we hire the Merlee's services, after defeating a certain amount of enemies, a roulette of helpful items appears and Mario is given one item from the roulette. She allows Mario to receive any level of charm for free one time if Mario and friends brought her the Crystal Ball from Merluvlee.
Charm details:
The package bought determines how many times the roulette appears. Each spin happens after a random number of enemies has been defeated (between 20-70, in which the counter resets to zero).
Trial Package (50 Coins): The roulette appears five times.
Advised Package (100 Coins): The roulette appears 10 times.
Special Package (200 Coins): The roulette appears 15 times.
In Super Mario-kun, she is captured by Mimi. Mimi then disguises as Merlee and leads Mario into the trap. When Mario defeats Mimi and rescues Merlee, Merlee gives Mario a Pure Heart.
These are the different tattles for her in every game she makes an apparence:
Paper Mario
Tattle: "She's a wizard, Merlee. She casts spells. If you let her cast a spell on you, it may affect you in battle. She's one of the pair of twins. The other one is Merluvlee, from Shooting Star Summit. When I look at a woman as beautiful as this, it makes me feel all strange! ♥"
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Tattle: "That's the charmer, Merlee. She's bright and cheery, huh? If you have her charm you, you'll receive various bonuses in battle. They're super-helpful, so next time you have a chance, be sure to have her charm you! Oh, AND I hear she's the twin sister of Merluvlee, the fortune-teller!"
Super Paper Mario
Tattle: "That's Merlee, the charmer... Her spells are empowering when you're in a bind... She lives in a large mansion in Gloam Valley, but moved here to help the heroes... She and Flipside's fortune-teller, Merluvlee, were rivals when they were classmates..."
Card Description: This charmer uses the sun to work her magic. She is a descendant of the Tribe of Ancients.
Flint Cragley
(Image credits to whom it may concern, I did not find the author of this wonderful work of art)
He's a celebrity amongst his race, Flint has the highest-rated news program in all of Crag, and is the only Cragnon encountered who wears clothes other than animal skins, does not speak in third-person, and does not insert "crag" and "brah" in place of other words. His name derives from flint (a hard, resilient variety of quartz that was often the material of choice in making stone tools like arrow- and spearheads) and crag (alternatively Cragnon). He bears some resemblance to Indiana Jones (who he is even named after in some translations) and other celebrity documentarians like Steve Irwin. He is also somewhat comparable to Kolorado, from the first Paper Mario, as both are explorers, both are encountered in a cavern, and they both star in Chapter 5 of their respective games. His TV show is called Flint Cragley, Cragtrotter, which is also the name of his theme, according to The InterNed.
(If anyone is wondering, these are the flint stones 👆)
Flint makes a non-speaking appearance when the Land of the Cragnons is briefly shown being swallowed by The Void during the final battle, panicking alongside the other Cragnons and presumably being erased along with his dimension. After the Void is closed and his and all other dimensions are saved from its destruction, Flint Cragley can be found again after beating the game, making a new rock single entitled, "Cragley Croons in Crag: Songs in the Key of Flint". It has at least 127 verses. (A/N: What the...)
In the Wii U, we can fin a trophie with him printed, with the following description:
'Who would use "Cragley Ho!" as a catchphrase, you say? Flint Cragley, of course! He comes from an advanced Stone Age civilization called the Land of the Cragnons. There they broadcast a program, "Flint Cragley's Cragtrotter," which stars Flint Cragley, is directed by Flint Cragley, and was made possible by producer...Flint Cragley.'
One last fact, in japanase his name is: "Tankenka Debiddo", translated is Explorer David; likely a reference to the Scottish explorer "David Livingstone". Yehah, that guy 👇
In French his name is: Indiana Crag. In Italian his name is Cromagno Jones, translated: Cragnon Jones. Super difficult to guess why.
And finally, in Spanish his name is: Roc Sílex, another way to say flint 🙄
Hornfels and Monzo
Hornfels' nameis derived from "hornfels," a type of rock. (A/N: Yehah, now we are all geologists)
In japanese his name is: Henry, a reference to the Welsh journalist famous for exploring Africa during the 19th century, Henry Morton Stanley. (A/N: And now we are also explorers)
In French his name is: Sonolite, from the prefix "sono-" and the suffix used for forming the names of rocks "-lite"
In Italian Audiolito, from "audio" and Italian suffix used for forming the names of rocks "-lito"
In Spanish Marmolito, a masculine adaption of "marmolite". Yehah, you guessed, another kind of rock!
Monzo's name is derived from "monzonite", ANOTHER type of rock.
His name in Japanese is Stanley, reference to the same explorer that Hornfels.
In French: Filmolite, from the masculine adaption of "film" and "-lite" (a suffix used to form names of rocks)
In German: Watzmann, from "wetzen" (to sharpen) and "mann" (man)
In Italian Videolito, from "video" and Italian suffix used to form names of rocks "-lito"
In Spanish: Calizo, meaning "limestone". I'm not even going to bother anymore, I'll just post the image and disappear into a momentary explorer and geologist.
(A/N): And those are all the npc's that I found relevant and interesting enough to make their own chapter. And let's pretend that I haven't posted in more than a week. The thing is, to do certain research I use my Wii game, but I have had problems with the connection and I have not been able to use it, hence the delay. But don't worry, the regular update will be back soon. Also, I'm running out of content to update my researches. So please, if anyone has any ideas/theories/characters/places you would like to know more about, write about it, as the research is coming to an end. But, despite that, I have other equally interesting projects. Still, write me what you think. I say goodbye. Until next time! And I hope you have learned something with these geology classes that I gave you, xd.
more boys because they're all I can think Abt :)
