I'm sick and tired of Philistines like you ERASING all of my hard work, man. You probably haven't heard of me, right? Figures. When was the last time you even went to a gallery? Pfft. Don't answer. I'm gonna give you an art lesson for free. The name's Jean-Pierre Colored Pencils the 12th. I represent the Legion of Stationery, I'll have you know! Anyway, I'm guarding this streamer, and I'll scribble on your flat face if that's what it takes to stop you.

Paper Mario: The Origami King - The Missile Maestro

Background

Colored Pencils, The Missile Maestro (also referred to as Color Pencil and Jean-Pierre Colored Pencils the 12th), is a member of the Legion of Stationery who guards a spool for the red streamer and the boss of Overlook Tower in Paper Mario: The Origami King. He is an oversized red tin pencil case sporting King Olly's logo on the front. He normally holds 12 colored pencils inside, whose colors are, from left to right, white, lime, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink, red, yellow, beige, brown, and black. These are used as missiles. His dialogue is displayed with each symbol being semi-randomly picked from those colors, or, when severely damaged, a light gray.

By the time Mario has entered Overlook Tower, Colored Pencils has created drawings on the walls and floors, including one at the entrance displaying King Olly. As Mario scales the tower, Colored Pencils continually tries to stop him. First, the boss damages the elevator by piercing it with colored pencils, which, after being removed, cause the elevator to plunge back to the first floor. Second, when Mario reaches a cafe on the third floor, Colored Pencils retaliates by launching large salvos of pencils. The pencils also block the doorway out of the tower.

Once Mario reaches the red streamer's spool, he attempts to dislodge it by jumping into it, to no avail. Afterwards, two colored pencils are launched, forcing Olivia to shove Mario out of the way. The case then reveals himself, Mario pulling Olivia away when he is about to flatten her. Colored Pencils expresses detest of people erasing his work, introduces himself, and fights Mario.

After being defeated, Colored Pencils laments that Mario was better as a side-scroller, and explodes, erasing his drawings off screen and releasing a Magic Circle that Mario can use to destroy the spool.

Powers and Techniques



Equipment

Its colored pencils


Notable Techniques

  • Reload: Colored Pencils could shut its lid and reload its pencils in seconds seemingly ad-infinitum.
  • Pencil Rain: Colored Pencils could fire off six pencils to hover over spots like targeted missiles.
  • Missile Lock: If Mario stopped under the target reticles, they would rain down and deal additional damage to what Colored Pencils other attacks would cause.
  • Snap Shut: Colored Pencil's weakest attack where it ran up to Mario and snapped its case shut in front of Mario to slap him with.
  • Levitation: Colored Pencils could levitate its pencils and spin them in a big circle after getting down to half health.
  • Rainbow Roll: Colored Pencils' most powerful attack where it levitated its pencils in its body in a big circle. It would then fire them at Mario three at a time to deal massive damage.

Other

Standard Tactics: Colored Pencils Battlefield Removals their opponent to a ringed battlefield and launches several color pencil missiles to land on specific tiles. It then attacks using its case and doing multiple different attacks with its colored pencil missiles. Occasionally, it will use its ultimate attack, Rainbow Roll.

Weaknesses: If it's lid is closed, colored pencil missiles will automatically launch inside its mouth which greatly hurts them as well as stuns them.

  1. "If you're familiar with things like Popeye and some of the old comic characters, you would oftentimes see this cast of characters that takes on different roles depending on the comic or cartoon," Miyamoto said. "They might be businessman in one [cartoon] or a pirate in another. Depending on the story that was being told, they would change roles. So, to a certain degree, I look at our characters in a similar way and feel that they can take on different roles in different games."
