In the modern Paper Mario trilogy, the act of painting things plays a part in every single game. - Paint Guys are an enemy that appear in World 3 of Sticker Star. - Paint is obviously a huge part of Color Splash. - The Spring of Rainbows appears in The Origami King and used to repaint Bowser Jr.

In the manual for Color Splash, Huey calls Mario broke.

Bad Bunny will perform at the Super Bowl and Huey will appear during the Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer.

Like Sans and Flowey from Undertale, Huey has the ability to remember what the player does even after deleting their save file, though he never uses it during the game.

Huey, Luigi and Kamek are attending a LGBTQ+ Pride parade.

According to Huey in the in-game manual, being squeezed is like a deep-tissue massage. He specifically says it’s like, "hrrrrnngg!”

My first ever official encounter with Paper Mario: Color Splash was in 2016 during a Make-A-Wish trip to Seattle. I got to take a tour of the Nintendo building and played Breath of the Wild before it released. Despite my love for the game now, I never played Color Splash until 2024.

In a recent interview with Miyamoto, he was asked on his opinions about Huey since it’s been ten years since his debut. “I’ve heard his whispers in my dreams recently. Taunting me, haunting me. This interview is over. Everyone get the fuck out.”

In the files for Paper Mario Color Splash, there is an unused sprite of Huey with a BBL. The purpose of this sprite is unknown.

During the promotional cycle for Color Splash, Huey was compared to… the Squid Sisters? Sure man, why not lol

Huey appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee as a trophy, simply titled “Bucket”

In Stranger Things Season 5, Will Byers comes out as a modern Paper Mario fan.

Koops and Huey are volunteering at a homeless shelter.

Huey is the only Thing in the series that also serves as a partner throughout the game. However, there are six Things in the series that can speak.

Although never explicitly stated, Huey appears to function as the guardian of the Paint Stars. He is enclosed in a safe underground at the beginning of the game, only appearing when the Paint Stars have been separated.

Huey’s model has over 28,000 polygons, which is just under the amount of polygons it would take to make a model of your mother.

Pellets are/contain the seeds of the Pellet Posies. Whenever a creature eats one, or it’s used to birth a new Pikmin, this is just propagating the Posies’ seeds.

Huey is one of only three Paper Mario partners to get represented in Smash Ultimate as a spirit. The other two are: • Vivian (The Thousand Year Door) • Olivia (The Origami King)

Screenshots of the Space World 1997 build of Super Mario RPG 2 (Paper Mario 64). This is the earliest known build of the game and the character designs were significantly different from the final game. Scrapped characters like Poochy and Nep-Enut also appear.

In concept art for Color Splash, we can see several different variations of Huey. One design, resembling an ink bottle, appears to follow Mario around like a more traditional partner. In the final game, Huey only appears when you press ⬆️ on the D-pad.

In Paper Mario: Sticker Star, the Oasis Toad's drink appears similar to the Fresh Juice item from TTYD and Mango Juice item from SPM. The variant with the orange slice (reminiscent of the Fresh Juice) is unused in the final game.

In the concept art for Paper Mario: Color Splash, one of the early designs for the Red Rescue Squad Toads resembles Andy from Advance Wars, which is another series developed by Intelligent Systems.

When Huey wakes up at the beginning of Color Splash, he is incredibly angry. This is because the game was released in 2016 and Donald Trump had just been elected president.

Despite having no visible nose, Huey has an excellent sense of smell. He can tell the difference between Big and Mini Paint Stars from miles away with incredible accuracy.

There is a humorous error message in Paper Mario: Color Splash. When loading Luigi, the game does a quick "bone check" to see if his position is defined. If he fails his bone check, the developer console prints out "Luigi is elegal!!", likely a misspelling of "Luigi is illegal".

Huey’s full name is “Huey Can” according to in-game dialogue. It is unknown if “Huey” is a nickname or not.
