Thethree hags are characters fromSuper Paper Mario that are found in theUnderwhere Road behind a couple of pink doors with a heart on each of them. Their names areHagra,Hagitha, andHagnes. They are based on the threeMoirai, or theFates, inGreek mythology. They all have a favor to ask the player, but only Hagra's is required; the other two are optional.
Favors[edit]
- Hagra will ask the player to get herDiet Book from aD-Man and sends the player to him, as the player earns a reward, it will be theDoor Key.
- Hagitha will send the player on a similar quest. She sends the player to ask a D-man to record a show for her. She will also tell the player a strategy to defeating theUnderchomp: it falls asleep when playing music near it (which is a hint that the player should usePiccolo thePixl).
- Hagnes' request is to listen to her talk for a while. She will tell the player a long-winded love story from her past (similar toMerlumina, though Mario does not fall asleep), revealing that as a youth, she competed with a rival forGrambi's affections, only to lose him to the other woman,Jaydes. The reward is a thank you.
Complaints[edit]
Each of the hags, if the player refuses the favor, will give a long, ranting speech railing against the younger generation, similar toKoopa Koot fromPaper Mario. Hagra and Hagitha's speeches are identical until they get to what they blame; Hagra blames video games, claiming that simulated worlds drain away a person's ability to relate to real people, while Hagitha blames cellular phones, reasoning that being able to chat long-distance makes one uncomfortable with talking face to face. Hagnes, however, takes a comical turn when she realizes that when she was a young person, she was just as bad, giving her elders "nothing but grief".
