Mario and Yoshi participating in the 66th Annual Quirk Quiz in the Japanese version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This image illustrates a pun: "4本", "6本", "8本" means "four feet", "six feet", "eight feet" while "日本" means Japan.
The Japanese version of the third question
  • In the Japanese version, Question 3 has the choices "4本" (yonhon, 4 feet), "6本" (roppon, 6 feet), "8本" (happon, 8 feet) and "日本" (Nihon, Japan), similar to the English-version pun "4 feet", "6 feet", "8 feet" and "Defeat".
  • Additionally, in the Japanese version, Question 2 refers to Petalburg as Koopa Village instead.
  • The "That's My Merlee!" show in Super Paper Mario is introduced as the "66th Annual... "That's My Merlee!" show!"
  • There are many similarities between the questions asked in the 65th and 66th Trivia Quiz-Off. In both, question 1 asks what is hidden in the location the quiz is taking place in, question 4 asks about the location of the Diamond Star, and question 7 is simply "What number question is this?".
