All the answers to the Thwomp quiz in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

As you cross Petalburg to get to Hooktail Castle in the Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Millennial Dooryou will eventually get the Quiz Thwomp, who has a lot of questions for you. There is also a second Thwomp in Chapter 7 in the X-Naut Fortress.
