Hot Dogs are an item in the Paper Mario series. They first appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
Appearances[]
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[]
Hot Dogs are bought at the hot dog stand in Glitzville, where they are sold for ten coins each. The item heals five HP and FP. As part of a trouble posted at the Trouble Center, if Mario takes two Hot Dogs and a Mousse Cake to Bub-ulber in Petalburg, the Bub-ulb gives Mario a useful Dried Bouquet.
One of the other known forms of Hot Dog was the Southern Fried Egg Dog of Tastiness, a Hot Dog made with an egg from a "southern island," possibly either Lavalava Island or Yoshi's Island. However, the Yoshi Egg that Mr. Hoggle planned to make the Hot Dog out of did not cooperate as it broke open with, revealing the Yoshi Kid and resulting in no Southern Fried Egg Dogs of Tastiness being sold.
Another form of Hot Dog involved mixing the Businessman's Hot Sauce with another of Mr. Hoggle's Hot Dogs, the Fat Dog, to create a Hot Dog known as the Tongue Blistering Fat Dog, but it is unknown if it ever happened.
Super Paper Mario[]
The Hot Dog makes a reappearance in Super Paper Mario as a recipe. Dyllis can mix a Power Steak and a Fresh Veggie to create a Hot Dog, or it can be bought at an Itty Bits in The Overthere for 120 coins. Using a Hot Dog restores 20 HP and cures Poison.
