I have mostly finished the [[List of minor NPCs in Paper Mario]]. The quotes come from the [http://www.romhacking.net/community/3078/ Paper Mario Text Dump] by Rew. The layout of the article is not very satisfactory, and I don't know how to improve it.
 
My next project might be:


* [[List of minor NPCs in Super Paper Mario]] (most of the minor NPCs in this game have official names, so this article won't be long)
3. Change "he or she" (referring to the player) to "they", "him or her" to "them", etc., except in cited text.
* [[List of minor NPCs in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]

Minor NPC project

The page List of minor NPCs in Paper Mario is largely finished.

  • The quotes come from the Paper Mario Text Dump by Rew. Some of them have been confirmed by actually playing the game, but the others (such as the Toad Town ones) have not.
  • The compilation of this article led to the discovery of a few new named NPCs (the Rangers and the Great Gossip Trio) as well as new facts about existing named NPCs.
  • I'm not satisfied with the layout of the page as it currently stands, but I don't know how to improve it with my crude HTML/CSS skills.
