The '''Sling-a-Thing Toad''' is a purple-spotted [[Toad (species)|Toad]] in [[Decalburg]] who runs the [[Sling-a-Thing]] (Fling-a-Thing in the British English version) stand in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. His stand will open after [[Mario]] has collected the [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)#Fan|Fan]] Thing in [[Bouquet Gardens]]. His job is to convert Things into stickers for free. If Mario is out of Things and talks with the Sling-a-Thing Toad, he will tell Mario to check the wall near him, where the [[Shady Toad]] sells Things. The shopkeeper Toad of Decalburg gets jealous of him when he hears that a new shop has just opened. In the North American localization, he frequently uses the word "perky", with his motto being "Stay perky".

When tattled, [[Kersti]] will comment: "This operation looks pretty shady/doggy, but I have to admit, the thing stickers are pretty amazing." A Red Toad at the [[Outlook Point]] runs the same business.

==Quotes==
==Notes==
===North American Version===
*''Well, hi there!
*''No, sir, you've gotta stay perky! And I got the perkiest idea EVER just a bit ago!''
*''Do that, and I can cook up a little miracle for you!''
*''Ah, look! You have a wonderful thing! My perk sensor can just tell.''
*''Now you just take a special thing, face the board in front of you, and sling it as hard as you can!''
*''Huh? Oh, sorry--it looks like you don't have enough space left in your album.''
*''So?! Pretty darn miraculous, huh?''
*''You come over here, you sling a thing, and HEY PRESTO! It becomes a sticker. I call it a "thing sticker" because I'm a bit of marketing genius.''
*''Mario, I've  got to tell you… You are so lucky to experience this firsthand!''
*''How about that! Pretty perky, no? From now on, stickers don't have to be something you find… They can be something you make too.''
*''Whenever you find a special thing, you can turn it into a sticker here.''
*''Anyway, can't wait to see you again! Stay perky!''
*''Stay perky.''
 
===European Version===
*''Hey, hey! How's it going?''
*''Sure, the Sticker Fest was a total disaster, but you can't stay blue about it forever, right?''
*''Of course I'm right! You've got to be proactive, like me! I've been working on the greatest idea EVER!''
*''Here's the deal, Mario. If you find any interesting…lets call them "things"…out in the world, bring 'em to me.''
*''If you do that, I'll show you something miraculous!''
*''What's that glint of excitement in your eyes? I'm guessing you've found a wonderful thing then, eh?''
*''Go ahead and stand on that little platform over there, please.''
*''Now you just take a special thing, face the board in front of you, and fling it as hard as you can!''
*''Hm…? Oh, sorry-it looks like you don't have enough space left in your album.''
*''So?! Pretty darn miraculous, eh?''
*''You come over here, you fling a thing, and HEY PRESTO! It becomes a sticker. I call it a "thing sticker" because I'm a bit of marketing genius.''
*''Mario, I've  got to tell you - You are so lucky to experience this first-hand!''
*''Don't worry about it, though. Just come back once you've either used some stickers or sold them off.''
*''How about that! Not too Shabby, right? From now on, stickers don't have to be something you find - they can be something you make too.''
*''Whenever you find a special thing, you can turn it into a sticker here.''
