*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]]''.
*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.
*His name is a pun on "rip-off" and "cheater".
*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.
*The fixed price of 64 coins for all of his goods references the [[Nintendo 64]], which is the console ''Paper Mario'' is played on.
