Shadoo: Difference between revisions

Shadoo's true identity and backstory are never revealed; however, it bears some resemblance to the [[Pixl Queen]] discussed by [[Carson]]. The Pixl Queen was created by an Ancient, and after developing a grudge against her people due to how they used the Pixls, she attempted to overthrow the Ancients by taking control of the Pixls,<ref>[http://www.gamefaqs.com/wii/933012-super-paper-mario/faqs/55449 Carson's "The Pixl Uprising" story reads:] "''A huge Pixl calling herself the Pixl Queen suddenly appeared... At her command, Pixls everywhere rebelled against their Ancient masters.''" (Retrieved July 29, 2012)</ref> similar to how Shadoo hated the Ancients and wished to use the Heroes' Pixl companions to exact its revenge. The Pixl Queen was also said to have "powers of illusion", which she used to hide from sight,<ref>Carson's "More Pixl Uprising" story reads: "''the Pixl Queen used her powers of illusion to hide.''"</ref> just as Shadoo hid itself, a Warp Pipe, and the clones. Furthermore, the details of the Pixl Queen's fate is not revealed, with Carson only stating that she was "defeated", with the Dark Prognosticus being "taken from her" after her defeat,<ref>Carson's "Pixl Uprising's End" story reads: "''the last surviving apprentice took the Dark Prognosticus from the queen''"</ref> suggesting she survived the battle (unlike the Pixl that helped defeat her).<ref>Carson's "More Pixl Uprising" story reads: "''[The apprentice] and his Pixl finally defeated the Pixl Queen. But in the process, the Pixl's game was ended.''"</ref> Additionally, its speech bubble resembles the computer-type bubble used by characters like [[Tiptron]], [[Fracktail]], and [[Wracktail]], and mechanical sounds can very occasionally be heard while Shadoo is idle during dialogue.
