![]() ![]() He makes a small cameo in Mario Party 6, meaning he escaped from Paper Mario’s world and is now living happily in the Flesh Mario universe, (mostly) free from hammers! Doesn’t he look so happy? ![]() You don’t have to feel guilty, because Whacka has a happy ending. We’ve all done things we aren’t proud of. And maybe it’s completely free!īut that doesn’t excuse it! It may be free in the monetary sense, but there’s an enormous emotional toll! Whacka is a totally defenceless creature! And, according to Goombella’s tattle, they’re even an endangered species! You’d have to be completely heartless to do such a thing! Right? And maybe it’s one of the better healing items in the game, restoring a decent chunk of both HP and FP. And maybe the result of blunt force trauma to the head is for a chunk of Whacka’s flesh to pop off in the form of a delicious pastry somehow. Maybe Whacka is just minding his own business before you mosey up and strike him with a mallet. Okay, so maybe whacking a Whacka nets you a Whacka Bump. If you’ve played any of the Paper Mario games (by which I mean the first three, because the Paper Mario series ended after three games, silly!), then I’m sure you recognize Whacka! And if you don’t, well… I think you understand what a mole character named “Whacka” in a game with hammers represents…īut, I mean, none of you would ever do that, right? You’re all nice people, right? There are some characters out there that exist only to suffer. mario mario allies mario party advance mushbert mod f boy I suspect there might be more Mushbert-adjacent characters out there. While writing this post, I accidentally called him Toadbert several times. Is this okay? But when you think about it, this kind of thing would go for hundreds online, and he doesn’t mind giving out a copy for free! Is he a scalper, or some kind of Robin Hood of nerds? You tell me!īut alas! Mushbert’s riveting character arc comes to a bittersweet ending, as by the end of the game he claims to have outgrown Toad Force V, and is now into a show called Koopa Quest! Silly Mushbert! We all know you never outgrow your fixations… They just go into dormancy! Yup, sidequests! This is a single-player focused Mario Party, remember? They sure thought that was a good idea!įor example, one quest involves fetching Ninji a copy of the Toad Force DVD, of which Mushbert has fifty! We later learn that only fifty copies of said DVD were ever produced, so, uhm… you do the math! Hmm… I might retract my earlier statement about him being “just” an enthusiast. Mushbert isn’t the only fan of Toad Force V in town, but he is the resident expert! And so, several of the game’s sidequests involve consulting him for some reason or another. He’s not the nasty, greasy kind of nerd like Francis! He’s just an enthusiast, and don’t we all have our odd obsessions now and then? I mean, I know way more about Pretty Cure than anyone should, plus I run a Mario blog! Wrong! That’s what Mushbert WANTS you to think! Because behind those rocking specs, Mushbert is… gasp! A NERD! His entire character involves being obsessed with Toad Force V, an in-universe giant robot anime! Mushbert, huh? Isn’t he cool! As I’ve said before, nothings cooler than a pair of totally opaque shades! And if you are able to adjust those shades and get a little anime spark, well then you have just been given the gift of Cool from the Coolness gods! Right? Whew! Had to get that video out of my system. ![]()
