“Chuck Quizmo's the name, and quizzes are my game! You want quizzes, I got 'em! If you can manage to answer my brain-busting questions correctly, then... Y... Yaa... Yaaaaaahooo! I'll give you a Star Piece! Want to try a quiz?” —Chuck Quizmo, Paper Mario [1][2]Mario and Kooper on Quizmo's show. Luigi, a Ninjakoopa, Jr. Troopa, and several others can be seen in the audience.Chuck Quizmo is a character in the Nintendo 64 game Paper Mario. A multi-colored worm wearing a yellow bowtie and a top hat, Quizmo appears throughout Paper Mario in different towns, and if Mario speaks with him, Quizmo will transport him to a stage and, along with his assistant Vanna T., ask Mario a question. If Mario answers Chuck's quiz correctly, he will be rewarded with a Star Piece, and if he answers wrong he will receive nothing. In the latter case, the same question will be asked the next time Mario speaks with him, thereby still allowing the player to receive all the Star Pieces. After quizzing Mario, Quizmo will teleport away to a different location. In all, Quizmo will ask sixty-four questions.
If Mario answers all of his questions correctly, Quizmo will state that, now that he has found someone with all the answers, he can finally retire as quizmaster. After Mario defeats Bowser, Quizmo, along with Vanna T., can be seen in Toad Town outside the dojo; when spoken to, Quizmo will jokingly ask Mario if he wants to participate in another quiz before stating he is in Toad Town merely to attend the festival celebrating the defeat of the Koopa Troop. Quizmo can also be seen in the parade that plays over the Paper Mario credits, expelling fireworks from his hat.
[edit] Trivia[]
- Luigi, a Ninjakoopa, and Jr. Troopa can be seen among the audience.
- Chuck Quizmo's quiz was the beginning of the running gag of quizzes in the Paper Mario series taking place in a game show stage, despite Mario never moving from where he found Quizmo (such as Koopa Village). This quiz also had the first audience in a Paper Mario game, though it had no function.
- In Super Paper Mario, a Sammer Guy named "Quizmo Question That Has No Answer" appears as an obvious reference to Chuck Quizmo.
- MC Ballyhoo from Mario Party 8 bears a resemblance to Chuck Quizmo, mostly because of the huge hats the two characters wear.
- Chuck Quizmo asks a total of 64 questions. This is likely a reference to the Nintendo 64, but it may also be due to the fact that numbers in multiples of eight (such as 64, which is eight times eight) can be stored more efficiently in the electronic bytes which make up the game.
