'''Thudley''' is a partner [[Pixl]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' for the [[Wii]], the fifth Pixl recruited in the game, and one of the twelve original Pixls created by the [[Tribe of Ancients|Ancients]]. Mario and his party encounter him in [[The Tile Pool]] located in [[The Bitlands]]. His ability is to give the power to [[Ground Pound]], which deals double the damage when facing enemies. His name is appropriately derived from "thud", an onomatopoeia for a weight falling, and the name Dudley. He is designed after a 1-ton weight. In the game, Thudley's eyes float at the same height above his body, but in his official artwork, one eye is elevated, prompting a ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' article to include a statement by Thudley saying he was saving up to get his eyes surgically realigned. This difference in the artwork is likely meant to indicate that he is moving downward, representing his ground-pounding ability. | |||
On Thudley's [[Catch Card]], which is found on the fiftieth level of the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]], it is revealed he is a former wrestling star; such a thing is also hinted at in [[Tippi]]'s [[tattle]] of him. It is said that Thudley retired from wrestling after a hip-replacement operation, despite the fact that he does not have legs. It is possible that his wrestling career was from his life before being turned into a Pixl, as one of Carson's stories implies that the Pixls were originally people.<ref>Carson's "The Pixl Queen" story reads: "''The spirit within the Pixl Queen was not a demon, but rather a human [...] Is it possible the other Pixls were spirits from the game-overed?''"</ref> | |||

==Girth points== | |||
Just before he joins the group, Thudley does a girth check on the hero that is currently active upon his rescue. The results he gives out are as follows: [[Princess Peach|Peach]] outranks the group with 1,000,170 girth points, [[Mario]] is in second place with 10,160 girth points, and [[Bowser]] is in last place with 10,150 (ten fewer girth points than Mario). These points have no effect on gameplay. | |||

==Notes== | |||
*Although Bowser can perform Ground Pounds in the first battle against him in Chapter 3-1, once he joins Mario's party, he is unable to use the ability until Thudley is obtained. | |||
*Whenever a Ground Pound is performed, Thudley will briefly smile, despite having a constant frown. This detail also happens to resemble an arrow pointing downwards, in line with Thudley's ability. | |||
*Whenever Peach uses the Ground Pound, she twirls around instead of doing a front flip like everyone else. | |||
