Template:Character-infobox Senchō Kinopio is a character in Paper Mario: The Origami King. He is a pleasant purple Toad with a captain's hat and vest. As it would suggest, he is the captain of the Princess Peach. He requests Mario find the missing passengers and rewards him with a Collectible Treasure for doing so. He has a tendency to use the word "toot" frequently in his dialogue.

History

Senchō Kinopio is first seen after Mario defeats Paper Macho Gooper Blooper, being rescued along with many other members of his crew. He thanks Mario for rescuing him, claiming that he was not afraid of Gooper Blooper and anyone who says otherwise are dirty, mutinous fibbers. Before Mario leaves the ship, the Senchō Kinopio informs him of passengers who had abandoned ship and are stranded in the foggy sea.

After the fog is lifted from the Great Sea, Mario can return to the Princess Peach to inform Senchō Kinopio, who is elated that he and his crew can now go pick up the passengers. Once Mario returns to his boat, Senchō Kinopio returns to his post and assumes position, and the Princess Peach starts to traverse the Great Sea. Mario must travel to various islands in the Great Sea and rescue all the Toads on those islands if he hasn't done so yet; after Mario saves the last Toad and ships out of the island where he found that Toad, he will receive a notification that every passenger who abandoned The Princess Peach has been found and rescued. When Mario returns to the ship thereafter, one of the crew credits him for all the passengers making it back in one piece and directs him to the captain, who wants to personally thank Mario for his efforts. Mario must go to the wheelhouse, where he finds Senchō Kinopio piloting the ship. When spoken to, he thanks Mario for safely returning all the passengers and rewards him with a collectible treasure of The Princess Peach.
