PMFOF - Dennis

4th partner of Paper Mario: Fortune of Fear, Dennis the Shy Guy.

Dennis acts as the announcer and referee for Toadtown Speedway in Chapter 3 along with his nephew Steve, but he's quite a bit stranger than that. Dennis is supposedly one of the Mushroom Kingdom's only living "narrator", so he claims. You see he has a rather unique form of speech, in that everything he says, is in the form of narration. If he's not talking directly to someone he'll be narrating everyone's actions- including his own. He's managed to get several jobs as an announcer due to his dedicated talent- and this has also caused him to have the habit of constantly shouting when he talks as well.

Because he's got such an odd trait, I'm just going to give a quick example of what he actually sounds like. xDDD

"SO YOU WANT FOR ME TO JOIN YOUR PARTY NOW DO YOU? I ASKED WHILE SCRATCHING AT MY HEAD QUIZZICALLY- PAUSING FOR A MOMENT TO CONTEMPLATE THE ISSUE... AFTER THINKING QUIETLY I TURNED TO MARIO AND THE REST OF HIS COMPANY TO MAKE MY DECISION KNOWN-

SURE, I SUPPOSE IT COULD BE WORTH MY WHILE. I RESPONDED WITH A SMALL TINGE OF GUSTO TO MY VOICE."

Yes, all of that is in quotes, because he says all of that aloud, all the time.

Don't worry though, on the overworld he won't be describing the several footsteps he takes behind you, or when he looks down to pick up a coin, instead he'll be busy using his overworld ability. When you have him out in your party, Dennis will actually target and battle the nearest nearby enemy, both distracting them and doing 1HP of damage overtime, so long as it's an enemy he can touch. (EX, something that doesn't have spikes on it's sides or isn't on fire) This is great if you don't have a badge to knock out weak enemies when walking through an old area, or whittling down the HP of a strong looking opponent. He can even defeat an enemy and get you star points after some time- though you'll only get the star points for the single enemy that was seen on the overworld, and not extra if there were more than one enemy that would've appeared if you initiated the battle.

His ability isn't actually vital to the plot, so it's actually optional if you want him in the group or not. If he asks to join your party and you say no he simply won't join it, though you can pick him up any time you like. He's kinda weird like that. xDDD

His moves are as follows:

Toss Up
Does a somersault move while holding two ref flags to land on an enemy with successful action commands.

Roll Call
Uses his megaphone to give an ear-piercing shout, temporarily paralyzing all enemies. Costs FP to use.

You're Outta Here
Pulls out a strange cannon that he'd normally use for 'kicking' cheaters out of Toadtown Speedway, which uses a giant boot for it's ammo, to launch an enemy out from the battle. Costs FP to use.

Foul Play
Suspects enemies of cheating and tosses several ref flags to hit all enemies with successful action commands. Costs FP to use.
