Revision as of 23:55, 18 April 2007
Pixls are a ally species of Mario and company. Their first, and currently only, appearance is in Super Paper Mario. In this game, the Pixls help Mario, Peach, Bowser and Luigi by giving them special moves, like picking up people and throwing them, serving as explosives, or even acting as a floating platform for Mario and the others to ride on. The Pixls are Tippi, Thoreau, Boomer, Slim, Thudley, Carrie, Fleep, Cudge, Dottie, Barry, Piccolo, and Dashell. Tippi is always active.
Each Pixl is very bright and has its own unique shape. Tippi looks like a butterfly and Thoreau is a hand (a square with five small circles on it's top half). Boomer resembles a bomb with wings. Slim is an upside down triangle (also strangely resembles a spiral) with wings. Thudley looks like a 100-ton steel block with 2 circular eyes floating above. Carrie is made up of a bunch of small squares, that when folded the right way, turns into a cube platform. Her face is the middle square. She also has wings. Fleep looks like a big rectangle with wings and a tail. Barry is a spiky circle with a sad face. Cudge looks like a hammer with wings. Dottie is a ball with many long rectangles spreaded around her. Piccolo is a music note with wings. Dashell looks like a missile with two eyes.
