All Thwomp quiz answers in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

As you cross through Petalburg to head to Hooktail Castle in the Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, you’ll eventually run into the Quiz Thwomp, who has a plethora of questions for you. There’s also a second Thwomp in Chapter 7 in the X-Naut Fortress.

While none of the questions are particularly difficult, some of these answers can be pretty easy to miss if you haven’t been paying too much attention to the story or the stuff around you. The quiz is actually a tiny bit different from the original GameCube quiz, so don’t just answer all willy-nilly.

Below, we’ve detailed all Thwomp quiz answers in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
