'''Squirp Korogaline Squirpina''', better known as '''Squirps''', is a young alien creature from the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He first appears in Chapter 4-1 of that game, giving off an S.O.S. message from his spaceship; [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Bowser]] quickly answer this call for help. Squirps then ambiguously talks them into following him, using [[Squarp Hole]]s to get through [[Outer Space]]. He has the ability to shoot fire balls at enemies, and is held by the heroes and used as a sort of gun for the first and third [[levels]], and part of the fourth, in Chapter 4.

==Trivia==
*Unlike previous aliens, such as the [[Shroobs]], Squirps speaks the language of the [[player]]. However, he has a unique way of talking (which is possibly shared by other members of the [[Squirpia]] kingdom); he often puts nonsensical words starting in "squ-" (such as "squinkle" and "squeeep") at random parts of sentences. He also refers to himself in third person.
*Due to his name, appearance and ability to fire lasers from his mouth, it is possible that Squirps was intended to be an [[Outer Space]] subspecies of [[Squiglet]].

Squirps, Super Paper Mario

He first appears in Chapter 4-1 of that game, giving off an S.O.S. message from his spaceship; Mario, Princess Peach, and Bowser quickly answer this call for help. Squirps then ambiguously talks them into following him, using Squarp Holes to get through Outer Space. He has the ability to shoot fire balls at enemies, and is held by the heroes and used as a sort of gun for the first and third levels, and part of the fourth, in Chapter 4. While Squirps speaks the language of the player, he often interjects nonsensical words starting in "squ-" (such as "squinkle" and "squeeep") at random parts of sentences, and refers to himself in the third person.

His childish attitude often got on the party's nerves, and when they found a near planet, Squirps immediately had to use the bathroom but was kept waiting by a creature in the bathroom. He eventually leads the heroes to the Whoa Zone, and after a gradius-style battle with Mr. L and Brobot, he successfully brings them to the Pure Heart that had been entrusted to his mother, Queen Squirpina XIV. He surprises the others with the revelation that he was a prince, explains that his mother was told about the prophesy 1,500 years ago and hit the Pure Heart in the Whoa Zone for safekeeping. She then placed Squirps in a hibernation capsule so that he could await the heroes and lead them to the Pure Heart. Having completed his destined task, Squirps then falls asleep next to a statue of his mother, leading the protagonists to believe he had perished. However, returning to Outer Space at any time would reveal that he was merely sleeping.
