Trust the Rat

Lumpy is a literal rat in a town of schemers, robbers, and thieves. And I’ll bet he’s the only one who ever kept his word.

Lumpy went through hell and stood by his word. Man's earned my trust.

Btw he went to the same desert you explore in the first Paper Mario game!

Aaaaaaw dammit. When I first spoke with him I didn’t even have 100 coins. And then I forgot about him for the rest of the game.

completely forgot about hooktail so "foot smell Dragon" caught me so off guard. That's her name now. She will forever be just the foot smell dragon.

Playing as a kid, my brain was melted when he actually gave me all my money back and some

Bro almost died but didn’t forget to come back and pay off his debtors. Bro’s an actual hero

Seeing oil prices today, definitely investing for the stocks

I used to think he scammed me when I was younger because, well, he's a rat. But the way he talks about his endeavor makes me WANT to trust him

Short answer: No, But you are robbing him!

With the way coins are easier to obtain and they no longer capping at 999, spending the 300 on him is a no brainer in the remake. In OG I would usually not spend max on him as at that point I would already have most stuff I needed and be almost at max coins so those 999 were just "200 or 300" at the end

Lumpy is the 8th secret partner

The Footsmell Dragon. XD

Never knew that until i looked up the walk-through

Hooktail ❌ Footsmell ✅

I trust this green rat :P

Rat trust him okay Garo 😎👍

“Foot smell dragon” hey that titles belongs to Corrin

The foot smell dragon lmao XD

I subbed because of your PalWorld stuff, but after watching more of your stuff I found out a bunch of interesting games I would have never found out about without you

Always trust rodents. I'm unbiased.

Lumpy was a life saver for me. He helped me get rich too. And he'll give an update about story stuff from Paper Mario 64.

Lumpy be standing on business 💯✅

Snootsies da shiny thief gave up his shiny for profit

I didn't even get to talk to him lol

If anything's a scam in this game, it ain't the rat, but the lottery

If the Blue Dragon says to "trust the green rat," you know he's the safest bet on Wallstreet!😋 Ngl, though, I probably wouldn't have been able to resist that sad little 👉👈😔 thing he does, anyway!

Problem is in the reboot, it’s so easy to get coins, Im gonna have to waste coins just to make it worth it. Off to the casino I go I guess.

Fun little fact he appears as soon as chapter 1 begins.

What'd you call Hooktail?!?! 🤣💀

When I played the original, I was suspicious of this guy, but invested the max amount anyways just to see what happens. Dude made my day, never judge a book by its cover

Never trusted the rat since playing this on my GameCube as a kid… guess I was wrong

I didn’t even know this I never had enough 😭

As I played the original and knew about the rat, I went out of my way to sell badges that weren't immediately helpful to me just to invest 300 coins as soon as he arrived lol

In conclusion: he triples the amount of coins you give

I can't believe I forgot to invest in Lumpy in my 100% playthrough. I knew about it, too.

damn I am in need of money and just finished the train. time to go cash out my 999 just in time.

I got this just after I beat chapter 4 D:

i didnt beat hooktail yet but i was able to invest

Nintendo teaching us what investing is all these years.

The word whomping made me laugh

If you play attention he will talk about a Koopa that he met named charles,that charles is the son of a dead Koopa in the first dungeon

I didn't even know this rat existed and i finished the game last week

Lumpy is a true g

That Rat was successful. Ofc I'd trust them garoPog 🤗💗👌🏽🐉

Bro i didnt even know that dude existed and i had like 1400 coins when i couldve done it

I never even met the rat…. Darn I missed out.

this is kinda OP ngl

Hes scaming you with a "embarrassing" story and a return on investment. 😂❤

Im sad though because despite raising the coin cap, they did not increase the amount you can invest. I wanted to be rolling in it :(

i invested 100 and forgot to go back and give him the other 200

If I were the rat I would accept pawsies

You’re limited to holding 999 coins in the original, so STASH YOUR MONEY in gold bars before talking to him if you’ve invested! Thank goodness that’s no longer needed on the Switch.

Hollowknight reference

I made the mistake of not checking for him therefore giving him nothing ToT

Not like coins are exactly hard to come by anyhow...

STONKS

no, he does end up giving you return in investment

Yo it's Vernias!

I always invested in this rat since the GC era, however I do wish there was rng about whether you got an increase in profits or not. After all, this is Rogueport that is is based on chance and thievery.

I don't need the money, but I just beat ch 4 so I guess I missed out.

390.1% increas in money with the last one The rest is just 300%

I wanted to donate to him one time, but I was legit broke and never went back to him. 😅😂

Yes

Nope, He triples the input

Cool

I always though he was a scammer on gamecube but when l i played remake on switch and got those sweet 999 coins, i trust him now.

I just saw this after defeting doopliss Actually while fighting him

Uhm no garo... he was there before hooktail

Man I only gave him 100 since that’s all I had then

Well to be honest, this guy just became a coin billionair. Measly 999 coins is probably nothing to him at that point, he could easily give you 9999 coins too, especially since your coins help him to even find that oil. (in theory)

I missed it 😢

I gave him 300 because i had tons of coins from chapter 3. I am currently starting chapter 6. Once i beat it i will finally get 1000 coins. Thanks for letting me know that. I didn't even notice him myself

I totally gave him 300. Selling unneeded badges helps.

The quick answer No it gives you always 3×the money you spend

Short answer no if you want to figure out for yourself

I did 300 when I saw him

nice

epic rat

Only 3 times? As a kid I know I gave him 400 and got 999, had to reset the save to spend the $$$ just to get my money well & worth

i found this game called day of dragons and theres a dragon called the shadow scale and the base dragon looks like garo and i was confused on if he based his garo off it or if it was the other way around and the copied him. if they are copying him he should know!!!!

Wtf idk know this I've already beaten the game 😭

garo is nomzez and pls do a 100% of tribal hunter

i just gave him all my coins...

Do you mean I have to replay the game again?! Well, I'm not mad because it's a great game, but still...

Is this rat scamming you? Answer: NO

As soon as i saw how little i needed money and how easily i got over 300 coins and recovered the amount i gave it in chapter 2,i stopped worrying,less than halfway through the game money became kinda irrelevant,in fact,i wish there was more stuff to spend money at,i ended up with 7k coins

Nah he would never

Short answer: no

Love him

First comment! That rat is crazy! Where did he even get all those coins?

Nope he's legit, and it pays off BIG!

Hello pleb nomsies

He ain’t scamming you giving him 100 coins will double by giving you 200 coins giving him 200 coins he’ll give you 600 points and giving him a whopping 300 coins he’ll give you with 999 points

Give da rat the MONEY! i would but i cant buy the game ;-;

I trust that rat alot of times and he gave me 999 coins

This is a nintendo game, there are no scams.

Ahhh cute
