Waldo's walking stick is Waldo's key to his travels. The magical stick was given to Waldo by Wizard Whitebeard, and can open portals to far away lands, as well as travel through time. Besides opening portals, the stick is like a Swiss Army Knife, full of gadgets - including being able to turn into an umbrella, a pogo-stick, a pool cue and many other items. In some rare instances, the stick has reacted in an animated and personified manner, showing personality and intellegence to point things out.
