Doopliss's parrot
The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found, then the article should be moved to the new title.
- “Shine get! Shine get!”
- —Parrot, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
The Parrot is a bird found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
With help from the Shadow Siren Vivian Mario managed to learn from two crows that in order to regain his body, which had been stolen by an unnamed shape shifter, he had to find the person who knew the body thief's name. So they headed back to Creepy Steeple where the body thief lived. Going to the bottom of a well Mario and Vivian managed to find a secret passage to a hidden room. Inside they found the parrot. At first the Parrot feigns ignorance simply saying random things such as wanting crackers, but if Mario uses Vivian's ability to sink into the shadows the parrot will speak. At first the Parrot only complains about his predicament of being locked in a room, but after some ranting, it finally yells out the name of its captor, Doopliss. After hearing this Mario and Vivian sprung from the shadows and left the room.
After Doopliss abandoned Creepy Steeple, he left the Parrot in his room. Visiting the Parrot after Chapter 4, it will speak to the player normally (complaining about Doopliss leaving him there alone), and nothing will happen if the player use Veil in the room.
Trivia
- Even if the player already knows Doopliss's name they still have to visit the Parrot in order to obtain the letter "P".
- Sometimes the Parrot will shout out "Shine get! Shine get!", the phrase that appears when Mario obtains a Shine Sprite in the Japanese version of Super Mario Sunshine.
