'''Rip Cheato''' is a shady character that appears in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. His name is a pun on "rip-off" and "cheater". He sells [[Mario]] items for 64 [[coin]]s (a reference to the [[Nintendo 64]], the console ''Paper Mario'' was released for) in the last room of [[Toad Town Tunnels]]. He has a few [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Pieces]] for sale, but he also has junk items such as [[Dried Shroom]] that Mario must buy first in order to collect all his finer wares.

*Rip's appearance is unique in the series in that he is a noseless humanoid wearing a lamp on his head; as such, it is unknown what species he is. [[Charlieton]] and [[Wonky]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' slightly resemble him, but neither of them have lamps and the latter is spherical.

*Although Rip Cheato has yet to return in a new ''Paper Mario'' installment, [[Charlieton]], a merchant selling assorted goods makes an appearance in ''The Thousand-Year Door'', has a similar role to Rip Cheato. Similarly, another merchant named [[Flimm]] appeared in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.
*Charlieton from ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' and [[Flimm]] from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' are merchants similar to Rip Cheato from later games in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series.
