Pixls are a species with diverse special abilities that appear in Super Paper Mario. Unlike the the partners of the first two games, these don't have HP and cannot be hit. They give the heroes special abilities, attacks, and information with which they can overcome challenges. Though little is known about their history, their origin is occasionally touched on during the game. According to Carson, Pixls were created by the Tribe of Ancients 3,000 years before the events of Super Paper Mario.
