- “Will my loved ones become swine? Will I, too, become a curly-tailed oinker? I'm so worried, I can't sleep at night.”
- —Mayor Dour, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Pigs appear in the Super Mario franchise as animals that are typically anthropomorphic or capable of speech.
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Doopliss turns the citizens of Twilight Town into Pigs with the ring of a bell. When Doopliss is defeated, everyone is turned back. The title of the chapter in which these events take place is called "For Pigs the Bell Tolls", which is a reference to the novel written by Ernest Hemingway called For Whom the Bell Tolls. Unlike nearly every other character in the game, the pigs of Twilight Town are three-dimensional in nature, and are nearly identical to Li'l Oinks from Paper Mario, albeit with red eyes likely to denote their cursed status.
