Niff T. is aToad who ownshis own shop, located next to aninn in the town ofPetalburg during the events ofPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Niff T. looks much likePlenn T. andThriff T., and also bears resemblance toHarry fromPaper Mario. He partakes inPlenn T.'s trouble when Plenn T. asks Mario to help him restock by finding fiveCourage Shells which Mario can buy at Niff T.'s shop.

His shop is mentioned in theRogueport Direct Mail Service premiere issue, where it is revealed that he has been the most eligible bachelor of Petalburg, but he is actually rumored to be in love with the Toad girl running the inn. He does not deny it and partially confirms it when he says, "You only live once, so enjoy it while you can!" For fifteen minutes after reading that email, Mario can get double points for shopping at Niff T.'s shop.

Tattle

"That's Niff T., the manager of the shop. You can buy and sell items in here. I gotta say, he reminds of the guys in the Rogueport shop... Yeah, real similar... Hmmm... Maybe it's just me.... Or maybe I should just... not worry about it!"

Naming

Niff T.'s name is a pun on the word "nifty."
