“Yep, I invested my vast fortune and worked underground like a crazed mole to build this place all by my own self!”

—Sticker Museum curator,Paper Mario: Sticker Star

TheSticker Museum curator is a character inPaper Mario: Sticker Star. He is a greenToad who singlehandedly built theSticker Museum underground beneathDecalburg, and he givesMario the task of collectingstickers to put on display.

Following the destruction of theSticker Fest and Decalburg being rolled up, the curator leads the rest of the Toads in unrolling the town (described by him as the "de-burrito procedure"). He adjures Mario to help round up enough Toads to push the roll. The group is successful, and Decalburg is restored. However, because the curator was standing on top of the roll as the Toads were unrolling it, he lost balance and fell underneath the surface, becoming trapped under the fountain. Later, the Toad standing next to the fountain claims to hear a voice calling for help, but the Toad dismisses the notion quickly. The Sticker Museum curator can be rescued bypaperizing the fountain, allowing him to jump out.

After being rescued by Mario andKersti, the curator invites them inside his Sticker Museum, which is empty at first. He explains that he built the entire museum alone, emphasizing the importance of preserving the world's stickers "for posterity". Knowing Mario's affinity for stickers, he suggests that Mario should collect every type of sticker in existence for the museum. When every Battle sticker is added to the museum, the curator congratulates Mario and creates agallery of enemy attacks in celebration. When every Thing sticker is added to the museum, he creates agallery for the game's music.

Upon finishing the entire museum, Mario and Kersti are congratulated once again by the curator, celebrating by promoting the two to "Honorary Curator" and "Vice Curator", respectively, though these titles have no effect on the rest of the game.

• "Aw, wouldja lookit this? What a pickle! Plaza's all rolled up like a burrito. Can't get out of town 'cause of this fine how-do-you-do, no, sir. I ain't gonna lie to you--this looks bad. But maybe if we get all the Toads in town to help, we can de-burrito it. Mario, the town Toads are probably all over the place after that Sticker Fest carnage, so track 'em all down and see if they can help!"
• "PUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!"
• "Mario. Thanks for saving me back there. I ain't gonna lie--I was in a pickle. When the town was all burritoed up, I guess I got a little too stoked about getting it back to normal... Time came for the de-burrito procedure, and before I could say "boy howdy," I was smooshed into some kinda netherworld under that fountain. So, I gotta thank you for saving me... C'mon this-a-way."
• "YESSS! Aw, thanks a million! Let's do this sticker museum up nice! Just DANDY that you're helping out!"

Notes[edit]

• When the curator is stuck under the fountain, he can be seen shouting"Help" amidst the happy shouts of the other Toads in the cutscene after the Plaza gets restored. Other Toads hear it afterwards but consider it only a rumor or a mirage.
• The curator has a more arrogant personality in the Quebec version, as the region's translation forPaper Mario: Sticker Star is set to Joual, a social dialect of Quebec French.
  • The curator references the Plaza as a festive log, a traditional Canadian Christmas dessert, instead of a burrito.
  • The curator callsBowser a "taouin", the Joual expression for "idiot".
  • The curator acts colder to the Toads when they pull the Plaza's roll, believing himself to be the chief.
