==History==
===Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door===
Puniper first appears when Punio brings Mario into The Great Tree. He reveals that the X-Nauts have captured the Punies and locked them up behind cages, including the Puni Elder and Petuni. At first, he doesn't trust Mario, thinking he is allied with the X-Nauts, and repeatedly makes fun of Punio for blindly trusting him. He says he will only help if they can free the rest of the Punies.
The Puni Elder is freed thanks to their efforts, and while Puniper admits he didn't expect them to pull it off, he still isn't convinced Mario can help them take back The Great Tree. The Puni Elder scolds him, saying that Mario is their only hope to take back the tree, and the Punies need to stick together to overcome the X-Nauts. Soon, Puniper swallows his pride and joins Mario and the rest of the Punies, admitting he isn't heartless and is worried for Petuni as well.
They eventually free the rest of the Punies, and with their help, Mario finds the Crystal Star at the bottom of the tree. After running the X-Nauts out of it, the Punies reclaim the tree for themselves, and they thank Mario for his help.
