The InterChet is acharacter inSuper Paper Mario. He is a large cube who runs theFlipside Arcade. His name is a portmanteau of "Internet" and the name "Chet." He offers a variety of games thatMario and his party can play to win various prizes. He also runs the rewards center, the same wayLahla did inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. BothTippi andTiptron state that almost nothing is known about The InterChet and that he is "literally a black box," though some of his quotes suggest that he is a con artist.
