==Biography==
Jean-Pierre is a member of the Legion of Stationery. When King Olly took over royal control by abducting the Princess Peach's Castle with the five streamers, Jean-Pierre Colored Pencils The 12th was tasked to take care after the red streamer at the Overlook Tower.
When Paper Mario and Olivia enters the tower elevator, Jean-Pierre launches its pencils which attack, piercing through the elevator walls. Mario hammers the pencils out, dropping the elevator to the ground.
Paper Mario eventually reaches the red streamer, but before he can destroy it, he needs to face the Colored Pencils first.
Upon defeat, Jean-Pierre groans that Paper Mario was better in a sidescroller, before its body bursts.
When the Colored Pencils talks, it always speaks with a different color for each letter.
== Abilities ==
Primary Target: Primary Target consists of multiple targets appearing on the battle slots. If Mario runs underneath one of the targets then he will be hit by a pencil missile. Each missile deal 3 damage, and is fired regardless once Mario reaches his end destination.
Pencil Rain: The Colored Pencils releases the rest of its color pencils at Mario, excluding the ones that he fired during Primary Target. Each pencil deals 3 damage but can be blocked for 2.
Reload: After Pencil Rain, the Colored Pencils have no pencils left. Reload causes it to regain a full arsenal of 12 pencils for the next round.
Snap Shot: After Mario uses the 1,000-Fold Arms to close the Colored Pencils lid, the Colored Pencils will attack using Snap Shot and this hits if Mario is within the inner two rings.
Rainbow Roll: During this attack the Colored Pencils will fire all 12 pencils in 4 rounds of 3 pencils. Each pencil does 4 damage if not blocked, 3 if is, for a grand total of 48 HP. Each set pushes Mario back one ring. He will stay at the last ring until the last set pushes him off the arena. If Mario jumps on the Colored Pencils with boots then it will lose 4 pencils causing it to have 4 rounds of 2 pencils. The Colored Pencils lid can not be closed during Rainbow Roll.
Worst Case: If Mario fails to defeat the Colored Pencils using the 1,000-Fold Arms, then the Colored Pencils will use Worst Case. This move is a pun because the Colored Pencils is a broken pencil case, and it is using Worst Case as a last resort. The attack does 2 damage, 1 if blocked.

If Mario does not use the 1,000-Fold Arms or hammer from the back, then the Colored Pencils will close its lid ending the attack. During this phase all boot attacks from the back miss, and all regular boot attacks from the front deal 3 damage to Mario.
