'''Prince Squirp Korogaline Squirpina''', better known as '''Squirps''', is a character from the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He serves as the temporary companion of [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Bowser]] during Chapter 4, acting as their guide through [[Outer Space]] to the resting place of the Pure Heart. During Chapter 4-1 and 4-3, Squirps is also used as a weapon by the heroes, who uses his 'squirt beam' in order to damage enemies. | '''Prince Squirp Korogaline Squirpina''', better known as '''Squirps''', is a character from the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

Throughout Chapter 4, Squirps displays an ambiguous and childish, though also demanding, attitude toward the heroes - this puts him at odds with [[Tippi]], who remains suspicious of him until his past is revealed. While he 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. | Throughout Chapter 4, Squirps displays an ambiguous and childish, though also demanding, attitude toward the heroes - this puts him at odds with [[Tippi]], who remains suspicious of him until his past is revealed. While he 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. In the Japanese version of the game, he often inserts っきゅ (''kkyu'') at the end of sentences (but before particles like ''ka'', ''yo'', and ''ne'') in his speech. | ||

At the start of Chapter 4-2, Squirps runs off on the heroes to use the restroom - however, the only available outhouse is in use by [[Fleep]], who refuses to come out without paper. After purchasing the [[Ancient Clue]] from [[Blappy]], the heroes offer it to Fleep, who exits the bathroom and allows Squirps to relieve himself. In the next part of the chapter, Squirps becomes stuck in one of the two locks to a [[Space Gate]] - the player must purchase a chocolate bar from the [[Twinkle Mart]] located further off in space and feed it to Squirps. Doing so will cause him to split in two and open the gate before reverting to his normal self. | At the start of Chapter 4-2, Squirps runs off on the heroes to use the restroom - however, the only available outhouse is in use by [[Fleep]], who refuses to come out without paper.

After the heroes defeat [[Mr. L]] in the heart of the Whoa Zone, Squirps reveals to them that he is the prince of a forgotten kingdom, [[Squirpia]], and that his mother, [[Squirpina XIV]], was entrusted with the Pure Heart by the Ancients. She then placed Squirps in a hibernation capsule for 1,500 years, so that he could lead the heroes to the Whoa Zone when they arrived in Outer Space. After relaying his mother's message to them asking them to save all worlds, the prince hands over the Blue Pure Heart. The post-chapter narration reads that, his quest finally done, Squirps lay down near the statue of his mother and closed his eyes to rest. He was presumed dead by the heroes; however, returning to Outer Space at any time afterward reveals that he had only fallen asleep, and the player can replay the chapter as normal. | After the heroes defeat [[Mr. L]] in the heart of the Whoa Zone, Squirps reveals to them that he is the prince of a forgotten kingdom, [[List of implied locations#Squirpia|Squirpia]], and that his mother, [[Squirpina XIV]], was entrusted with the Pure Heart by the Ancients.

After beating the game, the heroes can find Squirps in the Whoa Zone near his mother's statue, assuring her of the world's safety and that he would restore Squirpia someday. Whether or not he accomplishes this goal is unknown. | After beating the game, the heroes can find Squirps in the Whoa Zone near his mother's statue, assuring her of the world's safety and that he would restore Squirpia someday.
