The '''Excess Express waitress''' is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] who works on the [[Excess Express]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. According to [[Goombella]], she probably is not a very good waitress but likely attracts many men. The waitress is a huge fan of [[Zip Toad]], overjoyed with his apparent presence on the train. The waitress often uses star symbols in her text (though only in the original game), and speaks in a hyperactive, line-by-line sequence.  
The '''Excess Express waitress''' is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] who works on the [[Excess Express]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. She seems to be in love with [[Zip Toad]] as she was overjoyed when he boarded the train and hoped he showed up to eat soon. She was also irritated when [[Pennington]] accuses him of stealing the pot of stew.


==History==
Mario first meets the waitress after boarding the Express Express. During [[Mario]]'s trip to [[Poshley Heights]] in their quest for the [[Garnet Star]], her [[Shell Earrings]] are stolen by [[Doopliss]] (disguised as Zip Toad). The [[Three Shadows]] planned to mix the Shell Earrings with [[Toodles]]'s [[Gold Ring (item)|Gold Ring]] and some [[Nitro Honey Syrup]] to set off an explosion, destroying the train and fulfilling the "sticky, yummy doom" Mario has been warned of. Mario eventually catches the fake Zip Toad, who reluctantly relinquishes the stolen items. If Mario returns the Shell Earrings to the waitress, she will reward him with a [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]] in gratitude.
[[Mario]] first meets the waitress after boarding the Express Express on their way to [[Poshley Heights]] in their quest for the [[Garnet Star]].  Shortly after the train departs, [[Heff T.]] steals [[Chef Shimi]]'s [[Galley Pot|pot of stew]], leading detective [[Pennington]] to randomly accuse passengers of the crime, including Zip Toad. The waitress is quick to defend her idol. She jokes about Shimi being only able to cook with mushrooms.

Later, her [[Shell Earrings]] are stolen by [[Doopliss]] (who has been disguised as Zip Toad all along) at the behest of [[Beldam]]. The earrings were given to her by her ex-boyfriend, apparently an unnamed [[Little Mouser]] Mario can speak to in [[Podley's Place]] who wonders if she still keeps them. The [[Three Shadows]] planned to mix the Shell Earrings with [[Toodles]]'s [[Gold Ring (item)|Gold Ring]] and some [[Nitro Honey Syrup]] stolen from the [[Businessman]]'s [[briefcase]] to set off an explosion, destroying the train and fulfilling the "sticky, yummy doom" Mario has been warned of. Mario eventually catches Doopliss, who reluctantly relinquishes the stolen items. If Mario returns the Shell Earrings to the waitress, she will reward him with a [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]] in gratitude, calling him the nicest, old mustachioed man she's ever met.  She also confesses she had doubts about Doopliss really being Zip Toad.

According to [[Goombella]], she probably is not a very good waitress, but likely attracts many men.


At the start of the third day, the waitress, along with the other passengers and staff, goes missing, being absorbed into a hoard of [[Smorg]]s that attacks the train. Mario finds the waitress and the [[Excess Express conductor]] being held hostage in the baggage car. After freeing them, the waitress notes the Smorgs must have abducted her in her sleep.  Mario eventually defeats the rest of the Smorgs, causing them to blow away in the wind, and allowing the rest of the passengers to arrive safely in Poshley Heights. The waitress remains on the train for the rest of the game, continuing her duties alongside Shimi.

Mario fends off the Smorgs in the baggage car and free the waitress, along with the [[Excess Express conductor|train conductor]].

After Chapter 6, there is a blue Toad in cabin 1 who reveals he has taken the train countless times, and that the only reason he does that is because he is in love with the waitress and wants to approach her and now has developed a fondness for both the train and her.  
After Chapter 6, there is a blue Toad in Cabin 001 who reveals he has taken the train countless times because he is in love with the waitress and wants to approach her but cannot muster the courage.
 
In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] on the [[Nintendo Switch]], the waitress is added to the group in Poshley Heights as they shout support into the Crystal Star to aid Mario and his partners during the final battle.
 
In the original game's end credits [[Parade|parade]], the waitress' silhouette can be seen with the Poshley Heights characters. In the remake, she, [[Chef Shimi]], [[Toodles]], [[Zip Toad]], [[Heff T.]], and the [[Businessman|businessman]] follow behind [[Pennington]] as he investigates the stage. This is until [[Ghost T.]] appears and spooks at them, resulting in them all fleeing in horror as Ghost T. ascends into a bright light.
