Walkthrough
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under Construction

 - Time for Mario's fourth RPG adventure, so let's get right to it. The game starts off with Mario and Luigi in there house. Of course, we see our good old friend Parakarry from the original Paper Mario. Surprise! It starts off pretty similar to Paper Mario with a letter from Peach. However....things seem different. This isn't a very common letter for Peach to send to Mario.

 - Luigi will read the letter to you. It talks about how Peach found a "treasure map" that she bought from a merchant. She then asks for Mario's help to find the map, which is enclosed in the letter. Then Luigi will give Mario the map and a Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door title screen will come up. Press A to get rid of it, and then the chapter screen will come up

 - After the chapter title screen, it will turn black with someone asking Mario to wake up. Now you can see the town in view from your boat. After you view it, you'll then actually arrive in it - and of course, you can now control Mario. Head left and then save. Then go upwards towards the stairs you can see in the background. Mario will suddenly stopped and you will see a goomba talking to a guy with a cape. You'll learn more about him later.

 - Anyways, he'll talk about how the girl goomba has been asking about the 'Crystal Stars'. The girl goomba denies it and the guy in the cape and his 2 henchman will want to take her with them. After the dialogue is over, you can move again. Walk up the the goomba and she'll start talking to you, asking for help. You'll now be in your first battle, which of course won't be hard. Just in case, she'll tell you to use your hammer and jump ability.

 - For this battle, I recommend using both your hammer and jump at least once to see how they both feel. When you select them, a message at the bottom will explain how to time them briefly. Try to get it as close as you can for right now. Lay an all out attack on this guy and he'll be no problem. It'll take 3 correctly timed hits to know him down, but a few more if not timed right. After he is done, the goomba girl will explain star points, and how they are used for leveling up. You'll get 9 from this battle

 - After the battle, hundreds of his henchman will surround you. They'll all jump on you, but this isn't a problem. The goomba girl will lead you out of the pile. Head up the stairs to enter a different part of Rogueport - all the henchman will stop trying to tackle the person in the middle of the pile.

 - You are now in the Main Square. The goomba girl will tell you how you saved her, and will give you a kiss. She now tells you that her name is Goombella, a student at the University of Goom. She'll ask who you are, and Mario will tell her that it's him. She'll criticize the town, but mentions something of a legendary treasure. She finds out that Mario is looking for a legendary treasure too, and Mario will show her Peach's map.

 - Now, a fancy looking Toad will come. If you've played Super Mario Sunshine, you know that this is Toadsworth, a Toad watching over the princess. You'll talk to him about Peach's map. And then it gets a bit edgy, because neither of them know exactly where the princess is. He'll say that she vanished and leaves the responsibility of finding her to you. He'll also talk about the inn and Heart Points.

 - Goombella will now ask about the princess, now knowing she is Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom. She'll throw out some ideas as to her whereabouts, and then comes up with an idea. You're gonna go see her college professor to help with this problem. After she is done talking, she joins your party.

 - Now it's time to learn all about Goombella and her value to the party. Press X to get information about nearby people, places, and objects. Goombella can give you hints when she answers so ask her for information often! And of course, Goombella can be helpful in battle, too. She jumps in the air and attacks enemies with a nasty Headbonk. She can also look up enemy HP and weaknesses with her Tattle ability.

 - Now she says that you guys will need to find her professor. Except...she doesn't know where he is either. She'll show you a picture of Professor Frankly and you can now move again. Head upwards to a save point and save your game. Now that you've saved your game, head off to the right until you reach the next area.

 - As you enter this part of the town, a bandit rushes you and takes half of your coins. Time to go and get them back. Go back near the inn and the save point - except this time you need to go up into the back alley. Once in the back alley, go to the left and through the door near there. Talk to the bandit and he'll give you back your 50 coins. Then head back to the eastern part of town (where he stole the coins)

 - Now we are where we need to be. Head a little ways to the right, and you'll notice a few things - a house with a shine sprite plaque and a guard. Next to the shine sprite house is a another house, which you need to go into.

 - Now we are at Professor Frankly's house. He'll try to guess who Goombella is because he can't remember. He'll finally get the name "Goombella" right and then she will tell him that he is right. Frankly will do the same thing with Mario.

 - After your done with him guessing names, Goombella will mention the legendary treasure. Frankly will mention how the treasure is what he studies, and then Goombella will talk about how architects and whatever have to look for it. Then Frankly talks about all the mysteries surrounding the treasure and all of the theories. Then comes up the "Crystal Stars" and how one must have them to obtain the treasure. After that Frankly talks about taking the crystal stars to "The Thousand-Year Door".

 - Now Goombella speaks of a "Magical Map" that needs to be held up at TTYD (The Thousand-Year Door). She also says that the map will lead to the crystal stars as well.

 - Back to Frankly. He mentions that the critical piece of the so-called puzzle is the magical map. Well, of course, it turns out that the map Peach sent is the map that Frankly and Goombella spoke of. Frankly will "go insane" and will look at it, and then proclaim it as the real one.

 - Then Frankly talks about how they will now be able to find the crystal stars and that is time to take the map to TTYD. Now, being able to control Mario, walk out of his house - you'll notice the professor following you. He'll then lead you downwards to a fence, which he will open up. Go to him near the pipe, and now you will get to learn all about battles. Make sure you select "Of Course", because there are a lot more features in this game than there were in the other.

 - Now your 'fighting' your own partner, trying to learn the techniques. He starts with the jump command, and then teaches about defensive timing. Next is the hammer, followed up by the Super Guard. This technique will help a lot in the future, so learn it well this time. If you got all that, exit the battle, otherwise try again until your up to par.

 - And now that battling is taken care of, Frankly will tell you how to go down a pipe. Go down the one right next to you to proceed.

Rogueport Sewers

 - Mario and the party are now in Rogueport Sewers - underneath the town. First thing to do is use the save block near the beginning. From here, head right going down the stairs and a group of goombas will be wondering who the so called 'hottie' is. After they are done talking, you will be in a battle with them.

 - Frankly will help you through this battle, so pay attention to what he says. He'll explain about changing turn orders by pressing the Y button. After you take care of them, you'll receive a minor amount of star points.

 - After the battle with the goomba trio, Frankly will talk about First Strikes. That will be extremely useful in the future, so know what he is talking about. Anyways, when he finishes talking, head up the stairs to the right. Then you'll see a pad with a triangular shape - head upwards from it behind the wall. Then jump on the moving platform and head left, going down the pipe at the end.

 - Now head all the way to the right until you can go no further, and then doe the same thing by going down the stair case to the left. If you want to, practice first strikes and battling in general. At the bottom of the stairs, there is a yellow ? box. Hit it with your hammer to get a mushroom, in which a box will pop up explaining items. After that's done, head left until you see 2 big yellow boxes - get the other ? block along the way, Bust the yellow blocks with your hammer, and go down the pipe that they were covering up.

 - The first thing you might notice in the room is the HUGE yellow block to the left - you can't break it yet. Head downwards till you reach the back wall. Rub up against it and start jumping while moving right - you will uncover a Badge. Don't worry about the little gray bug thing that goes in a hole. Now go to start > badges, and press A on the bade to equip it. This one will help you for right now, though it won't help too much.

 - Now head right until you see a blue ! switch - hit it with your hammer (or jump on it) to uncover a stair case. Climb the stairs and you'll see another triangle pad. Stand just before it, and fall down going towards the back wall (upwards). You'll get a "Black" key and will need to re-climb the stair case. Head through the doorway near the top of it, which is away from the triangle pad.

 - Go up to the chest in this room and press A to examine it - it will start talking. It'll say Mario is the hero of a legend, and is the only one who could hear him. The box says that it's a person locked up, and Frankly will say not to mention the crystal stars, which of course, he just did. The conversations wraps up with him asking you to look for a key, which you know already have - the Black Key. Press A on the box again and use the key on it.

 - The spirit in the box will say he is gonna cast a curse on you, which really isn't a curse at all considering this will help you. The curse will transform you into a paper Airplane. He'll then explain about standing on those pads with triangles - Airplane Panels.  Use Y on the panel to transform into the plane, and then he'll explain about using the control stick to fly yourself. When he asks you if this curse is the worst thing, answer yes to save you some of the hassle. Then he'll speak about using the B button to transform back into your regular form.

 - Now that your done with this, go back outside and to the left and onto the panel. Use Y and fly yourself to the left and onto the block. This may take a few tries if your struggling a little with it. Once you've reached it, go through the door too the left.

 - This room is the one where TTYD lies. Frankly will tell you to move closer, which you need to do by going on to the pedestal. Now that your on it, some blue glow will form a design, and Goombella will start asking what is happening.  Now the map will start to glow and will float aloft Mario's head. A picture of the nap will appear, and then a castle with a star appears on it. Then the screen will 'break' and the location of the crystal star will be recorded on your map. You will also learn a Special Move called Sweet Treat.

 - Goombella wand Frankly will start talking about the map and stuff again. Frankly will start talking about going back to his place, which you will then be there after he is done.

 - Now Frankly will start explaining what happened. He'll tell you it is better to show you how to use the move instead of telling you. Accept the idea of trying it out and then there will be a battle with him explaining it.

 - After you use the special move, Frankly will explain about the Audience and how they fill your star gauge. After that, he will explain about the Icons in the top right corner of the battle screen. After that you will learn about the Appeal command. Now Frankly explains about how audience members can throw things at you and how to stop it. Then the battle will end.

 - Back inside, Frankly will tell you how the map is like a radar and shows the location of the crystal star. He'll say that the map shows that the crystal star is in Petal Meadows - a area east of Rogueport. Frankly will also mention how there is a pipe in the sewers leading to Petal Meadows and follow it up asking where to got the map - Mario will explain how Princess Peach gave him that map. He'll explain about how Peach came to see him and ask about the treasure and how he explained the crystal stars and Petal Meadows. Then Goombella and Frankly talk about the groups asking about the crystal stars and then you will be on your way to Petal Meadows.

 - As you walk outside, Frankly will stop you and give you a badge and will explain it if you choose the option that will let him. Then he talks about Flower Points after you are done with the tutorial. Then he leaves.

 - Head back to the main square to save and then back to the sewers. From here, head to the right until you cross an airplane panel. Transform and fly across to the right and then head into the doorway. Now, there a strange thing sticking out of the water. Smack it with your hammer and then a giant Blooper will emerge.

 - Time for another battle. First, start by attacking the 2 tentacles - it doesn't matter which order. Each has 3 hit points, so it'll take an attack from each to kill 1. After both are taken care of, go for an all out attack. Use the "Power Smash" that Frankly gave you, and attack regular with Goombella. He'll get up, but you can still attack him. A few hits later, he'll die and you'll receive 20 star points.

 - After the battle, he'll dive back into the water and 2 platforms will emerge to the surface. Jump from one to another and go down the pipe to start chapter 1.

 - The chapter starts out with an overview of Petal Meadows. First off, use the save point to the left. Then head right and you'll hear a dragon roar or something of the sort. Mario will now look up to see a dragon flying into a castle. After that little cut-scene, head right again and hit the ? block. Then go to the next area.

 - Now head right and fight the goombas along the way for experience - there is a ton of it to go around. Also, along the way there is a red box - it contains a badge. You can choose to equip it if you want to, but you don't necessarily have to. After you have defeated all the goombas and got the boxes, head to the right into the next area.

 - Just like the last area, head right and fight the goombas on your way. Now you will come across a dead end - if you look in the background there is a switch. There's 2 dark green bushes near there - press A to examine them to reveal a hidden pipe. Go down the pipe to get to the background - hit the switch and a bridge will appear. Then, head back to the foreground (the regular area) and cross the bridge. On your way right, examine the bushes and get the boxes - but ultimately you want to go through the arch to get to a town...

Petalburg

 - When you first enter, a koopa will walk up to you. He'll explain that this town is Petalburg. He'll talk about a dragon named Hooktail, and how people stopped visiting. Then Goombella will talk about how it was what they saw earlier. Then she'll ask about the crystal star. He'll tell you that he has never heard of it, but that you should speak to the mayor about it. He'll say that the mayor lives in the pink house up ahead. Head right and use the save point - then go even more to the right into the next area.

 - The first house you see is the pink house. Head up the land like stairs and into it. Then talk to the mayor - he'll initially think your thieves. Then Mario will explain that he isn't a thief and that he and Goombella are looking for the crystal stars. He'll say that hooktail has the star and then explain a little more about him. When he asks you if you are going to get the star, answer yes. You can choose your answer when he asks you about the reward. Then he'll start calling you 'Murphy' and then you can answer whatever you would like to the next question. After that, he'll say that you need to find the secret pipe near the village - and that you will need the Stone Keys to get it. He'll mention that they are in the Shhwonk Fortress. Then he'll bid you luck and send you on your way.

 - Now, head outside the house and head on right - you'll receive an email...at least, I did. After it is done explaining it, head right and talk to the koopa near the gate. He'll say that the fortress is ahead, and then he'll let you pass since you have the mayor's permission. He'll then open the gate and then someone will tell you to hold on.

 - Now you see a koopa that is different than the rest. He'll say that his name is Koops. He will talk about him hearing that your going to Hooktail's Castle. Koops will then stammer a bit and just tell you to go and ignore him. Then he will run away - and your free to head right through the gate.

 - Now you're in another part of Petal Meadows. A bush nearby has a Star Piece, so examine some of them. On your way, fight the goombas for even more experience - also fight the koopas. Also, make sure to get the ? blocks.  At the end, there is a stone structure with a doorway - head through it.

 - Now your in a stone building. You see 2 stone enemies on pedestals - examine 1 with the A button to enter battle. This battle is just a bit different - your normal hammer attacks do nothing. Remember that POW block you got from the ? block earlier? Make sure you use it and they'll die immediately. After the 2 stone enemies, the bars covering the doors go away. Head through the opening to go to yet another part of Petal Meadows.

 - Surprise, surprise! We're heading right again. Like all the other times, head right and fight the enemies as you see them. Keep going to the right until you reach another stone doorway - this time it's red. Before you go in, examine the bushes near by - there's another POW block. Then go in the building.

 - More awkwardly looking stone guys. Press A to shake the pillars like the last time, and you will be in another battle. Just like the last time, use a POW block. Then the bars will not be covering the doors and you can progress onward.

 - And even more surprises. Another area of Petal Meadows almost the same as the others. Head right and fight all the enemies.....again. The experience will help later. Along the way there is an Inn Coupon - it's slightly covered up by a rock. At the top of this area, there is a Heal Block. Hit it and then there will be a brief explanation of what they are and how they are used. Then head through the stone doorway.

 - The first thing to do in this room is saving. After that head right and you will see a Thwomp statue. This room right here is the Shhwonk Fortress. Then go up to the statues and press A to examine it.

 - The statue isn't really a statue - it's an actual Thwomp. He'll now talk to you and call you contestants. Now the Thwomp will talk about the Stone Keys and how you have to compete against him to get them. He says if you win, he'll let you through to them - if you lose you will suffer a terrible fate. Make sure you press "I'll take you on" when he asks you.

 - Now a quiz game starts. You need to correctly answer 5 questions to go on - but you can't get 3 of them wrong. Here are the questions and answers

Question 1: What's hidden in this place?
Answer: Stone Keys
 
Question 2: What do one Mr. softener and one Fire flower cost at the shop in Petalburg?
Answer:16 Coins
 
Question 3: What is the name of the mayor of Petalburg?
Answer: Kroop
 
Question 4: Where is the Crystal Star?
Answer: Hooktail Castle
 
Question 5: How can one get from Petal Meadows to Rogueport?
Answer: Go Through a Pipe

 - Now that you have won the quiz, he now has to let you through. The Thwomp now moves and a pipe appears. Save it first and then go down the pipe. Now your in some more sewers. Head right and hit the red ? block to get the Multibounce badge. Then go to the right through the doorway into the next area.
