Mario being challenged in the 66th Trivia Quiz-Off in the remake

The66th Trivia Quiz-Off (originally known as the66th Annual Quirk Quiz) is a quiz that appears inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and itsNintendo Switch remake. It is held inX-Naut Fortress.Mario triggers this quiz by pressingA Button when near the roboticThwomp, and when he does, the Thwomp will open its eyes and start the quiz. If Mario answers three questions wrong, he will be forced to fight twoX-Yuxs, but if he correctly answers five questions, the Thwomp will begrudgingly relinquish theElevator Key without a fight. It succeeds the65th Trivia Quiz-Off, held inShhwonk Fortress, as well as the64th Trivia Quiz-Off fromPaper Mario.

Notes

  • In the Japanese version, Question 3 has the choices "4本" (yonhon, 4 feet), "6本" (roppon, 6 feet), "8本" (happon, 8 feet) and "日本" (Nihon,Japan), similar to the English-version pun "4 feet", "6 feet", "8 feet" and "Defeat".
  • Additionally, in the Japanese version, Question 2 refers to Petalburg asKoopa Village instead.
  • The"That's My Merlee!" show inSuper Paper Mario is introduced as the "66th Annual... "That's My Merlee!" show!"
  • There are many similarities between the questions asked in the 65th and 66th Trivia Quiz-Off. In both, question 1 asks what is hidden in the location the quiz is taking place in, question 4 asks about the location of the Diamond Star, and question 7 is simply "What number question is this?".
