Hints and Tips for Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
(GameCube)

When you acquire flurrie, go behind the help center in Rougeport, by going through the crack the in the wall. Face the back of the help center, and use flurries gust ability to blow a invisible cover off a door. A door will appear, go into the building and you'll be in the back of the help center.

~Hope this helps.

To get the color yoshi you want, follow this chart
Time Color
0-6 Minutes Green Yoshi
6-9 Minutes Red Yoshi
9-11 Minutes Blue Yoshi

15-18 Minutes Pink Yoshi
18-19 Minutes Black Yoshi

Squeeze through the bars of the cell in the room with three cells in Hooktail Castle. Equip it and your jump and hammer attacks sound like the one thing Hooktail hates: crickets!

Of you have beaten an enemy that you are unable to ever face again and you forgot to put it in your tattle log don't worry just go to professor frankly's house and check his trash can it will most likely be there

here are a few:
sleepy sheep (10 coins at petalburg)
power punch ( 17 in the great tree)
whack bump (100 coins on train)
dried flower things ( 17 coins on train)

Once you have beated the game, go to Poshley Sanctum and once you get there, Lady Bow will be there with Bootler!

Lady Bow was one of your partners in Paper Mario 1.

When you've beaten him at first he'll become you then when he asks "Guess my name" say your name and it'll probably be wrong (depending on your name) then he'll say "Who would name their kid that!?!?!'' (try this with your friends and make fun of their name too!!!!!!!)
He's the guy who makes you a purple Mario and makes himself look like you.

Once fighting him use earth tremor. Then use yoshi's shrink attack. Make sure you have the power jump badge and the charge badge turned on. Keep on using charge as many times as you can, then use the power jump. "this will cause alot of damage." "this will also be a good effect on other bosses too."

To get past skull rock you have to listen to the pirate he will say something and when you get to the part where he says 3 times reds head 4 times blues belly that means jump on the red thing and do a flip drop or whatever that move is called 3 times on reds head and then go hammer the blue thing 4 times. And there you go to the next place. If that does not work do it this way 4 times reds head and 3 times blues stomach

Ok I really don't know how people got the ghosts name but on the level with the creepy steeple in twilight town but his name is doopliss, D-O-O-P-L-I-S-S NOT dooplEss but doopliss, why did I say that?

For the skull stone part in kehaull key at the end you have to spin slam the red mustached stone and hammer (with your hammer) the blue mustached stone 3 times and a platform will come up so you trow bobmery on the platform and the door will open.

In the creepy steeple once you have the spinning hammer ability wait until at least two boos start to get on you spin and do this three times, then on boo will say, "I thought you said you would be nice to me" and they will form an atomic boo once you kill it, you get a lucky start badge, really kinda gets old but pays 50 coins, and from then on individual boos will start to attack you.

To get the super hammer, the third and last hammer you get you have to get those red shoes and the spring jump ability, first you go to rougeport square and by the inn there is like this platform thing with a giant chest on the top so then you spring jump and the chest will fall and then you open it and get the super hammer qwhich you can smash cinder blocks.

If you spin jump somebody as a first attack it will take as much damage as the spin jump attack but it wont take away F.P.

Theres a badge called stylish tutor, when you equip it an ! Will apper on top of your characters head when it's time to do a stylish move like for instance, when you use the hammer rite after it takes damage if you press A he will backflip and before he walks back (at some time) he will throw his hands up and confetti will come down but with that badge, you press A when you see the !

There is a way you can look like Luigi, Waluigi, or Wario. First, for Wario, you have to get 360 coins and wait until that guy with the bushy giant mustache is in rougeport square occasionally check until he gets something called the W emblem when you buy it put it on and you will look like waluigi on weight watchers. An easy way to get money fast is to sell useless badges at the badge shop ontop of the general store and when you talk to him say ,"im selling"

For Luigi, on chapter 6 go in the museum and watch beldam,doopliss, and that fat thing stal the fake crystal star to get the real one you go to the stars on the floor and spring jump until you get to the switch and go through the pipe that comes up the rest is clear until you get the crystal star so just do what you did to get to the switch spring jump on the stars on the floor and the L emblem is exactly where the blue switch was when you put it on, you look like a midget luigi.

This is the last but the easiest all you gotta do is put on the wario and luigi emblems at the same time and you look like a short chubbier waluigi.

This is the one I'm currently on the last crystal star level 7 the only thing I got so far is the paper from goldbob you need the super hammer and go to that snow place, talk to the green bomb with bombery as your current partner and he will say sumthing like, "I know I saw A cannon last time I was here old boy" and you will have to go to that rich place and talk to the gold bomb guy he will ask how much you are willing to pay for something like this cannon and you say everything I have and keep saying you will give all of your money and then he will take it once he gives you the piece of paper, he will say I was just kidding and give your money back to you, you can talk to the fortune teller if you want but later I will post what the fortune teller is really saying

P.S. Do not upgrade one of your levels or partners by downgrading another one it seems like a good idea but causes trouble later on

Remember the little chant that Merlee (Shine Sprite dude) gives you, the one about finding something in the castle where you defeated the dragon, beyond the reversable stair, beyond the room where the black treasure chest resides, you would find the Up Arrow. Well, this is something MUCH similar. In the Palace of Shadows, beyond the courtyard, beyond the few rooms, in the room you defeated Gloomtail. Switch your partner to the Admiral and blow up the wall. (If you look closely, you will find a crack on it.) You will go through a small dark tunnel, and on the other side, you will find a secret room with two blocks. One will have the Ultra Shroom, and the other will have the Refresh Syrup. (50 FP)This will save you a bit of trouble in the up-coming battles.

The bulliton board always gets updated until you destroy the shadow queen.If you go behind the board you will see different post on the board.

When you are battling the Shadow Queen you need to use just the right strategy. You need to have the exact set of badges and it is very complicated. I have made a guide to help some of you out.

It is broken down into steps so pay attention!
1)Buy as many of the best mushrooms you can find. (If you have the rebel badge you shouldn't even have a problem.

2)Go down to where the Shadow Queen is and don't use any of the mushrooms on the way. But take any opportunity you have to heal your health, you will need it.

3)Save your game every time you get the chance, by doing this you are safe from dying, but sometimes it can be hard to find your way out.

4)Before you start the battle set up your badges the way you want to. (I would maximize the HP ups!)

5)Once you're at the Shadow Queen be sure to save right before. (If I remember right you battle Bowser right before.)

6)Battle the Shadow Queen, being sure to follow A.-
A. There will be a moment where it will be impervious to anything you do to it, so don't waste all you're FP and HP on that part. Don't use any of your mushrooms here. You should get healed after that part.

B. Here is a cut-scene. This will heal you and I think help you out a little.

C. The Shadow Queen is now vulnerable and you can do damage. She will try to hurt you, and her attacks do alot! It is also very hard to avoid her attacks, so you can try but it is very hard.

D. Use your mushrooms accordingly to when you need to and do as much damage as possible in one attack, and always try to defend or reflect her attacks back to her.

E.Use a good attack strategy.
7)Hopefully you have beaten the Shadow Queen and the game!Yay!!

Hope I helped you conquer the Shadow Queen!!

Note:Before even going to keelhaul key make sure Ms Mowz is on your team and that you have the Head Rattle Badge for your hammer it's actually easy no fp for anything but Head Rattle use it whenever the confusion goes away then you and Ms Mowz attack.
Simple, No?

hi wahoo333 here and we just beat bonetail, (11/13/10).
here is the hints what to use and not to use from badges to characters.
1 basic hints
2 items
3 badges
4 star powers
5 mario's attacks
6 partner

Go to Creepy Steeple and pretty soon you`ll see a whole bunch of Boos. They will transform into Atomic Boo. Atomic Boo is a mini-boss that you need to defeat to win the game.

In rogueport,go to the far right and go to the first wall.Then walk forward and there's an area with a bandit and a boy named darkly.

Go to the far right and go to the middle of the two buildings and go forward in paper mode.

To get to Chet Rippo you need to acquire Bobbery as a party member in Chapter 6. Once you get him go down the pipe in front of Professor Frankly's House. When you get into the sewers you will notice a cracked wall to your left. Use Bobbery to blow up the crack in the wall and it will reveal a pipe. When you go down the pipe you will be in the background the walk to the house on the right. This house is Chet Rippo's House and he can adjust you and your partners.

Sometimes,when you're fighting, you'll get hit by a Bowser Statue or you'll all get hit by a boulder




happy fighting,
newacct564695

At kelhaul key, where the bullet bill blasters are, keep on attacking the bullet bills with out attacking the bullet bill blasters. "if you constanly attack the bullet bills you will get 100 starpoints." leave the area and come back where the bullet bill blasters were. Repeat this process for maximim hp, sp and bp.

Put on the badges attack plus put 2 of these on and defense plus again 2 and charge and power bounce and if you want feeling fine. When you fight her in her ordinary form after the cutscene were mario can now attack. Charge yourself for a pile of goes eg 13 or more make sure your partner destroys her hands and stay alive no use power bounce and it takes thirty then twenty nine try to keep doing the Action commands then she will die easily.

Hope it works it did for me

- In Chapter 8, when you go up to the big device in the building containing the eight Palace Keys, if Gonzalez Jr. Is your current partner, he will say, "Mario! Look at that!" even though he usually calls him "Gonzales"
- In the Tattle Log, KP Koopa's defense stat says "Defense is 1" instead of "Defense: 1".
- If you are wearing a W Emblem or L Emblem badge and sell it, your clothes will stay that color until you leave the area.

Hey you know how it's so annoying when the red, dry, and dark bones come back to life, well if bobbery delivers the final blow then they won't come back to life even if you attack them after they are dead with bobbery they will dissapear. Unfortunately unlike in the first game bobbery does not instantly kill them like bombette.

NEVER use Ruin Powder on an Ember or Lava Bubble! They go crazy and quickly multiply-faster than you can kill them.

Rougeport:
1.go to the center of rougeport where there is that platform for hanging people and go to the right to where the skull fence is and look behind the boxes near the fence
2.go on top of zess T.'s house and search around the room till you find one
3.go behind the parlor/inn and go into the door and look closly and you should see a yellow glare hiding behind all the junk
4.there might also be one behind the boxes near the left skull fence too I don't exatally remember
5.behind the pipe to the rougeport sewers
6.there is one behind the wall that is there just as you enter the left side of rougeport
7.behind the pipe that leads to the blimp

Glitzville:
1.behind the bushes at the entrence to the glitz pit
2. In the blue box with a star on it thats in the hallway of the locker rooms
3. Behind the phonebooth outside the glitz pit
4.behind the counter of the juice bar place

Petalburg:
1.behind the bushes in front of the mayors house

Twilight town:
1.behind like the first house
2.behind the fallen tree in the woods
3.behind the short wall outside of the creepy steeple

Rougeport sewers:
1.+2.behind both of the totem pole things in the underground city
3.behind the big yellow block on the last floor

I can't really remember much more but one big hint is to look behind objects especially pipes be sure you check behind all pipes

I was battling Hooktail, a shyguy jumped on stage and the background fell on me, giving a gameover. Koops lost 10 of his remaining 5 health, Hooktail came out with 1 more health and I lost 15 of my 10 hp!

Talk to the toad in the item shop in rougeaport

Go Underneath Rogueport to the part where the spikes com up and go down(i hope you know where im talking about)use vivian and time when you pull yourself into the shadows(just before the spikes com up)open the chest then you will have spikeshield(spikeshield allows you to jump on spikey enemeys without no HP loss ,but causes them damage!)

When you keep our self danger Mario for the rest of the game-you know how you always get one star point for every battle well here's a clue for you. First go to the moon then keep defeating all of the moon rocks and you will keep leveling and get like 6 or 5 star points every battle or maybe sometimes 20 but still I have done this for a long time and my fp and bp is maxed out. So when your maxed out on fp bp you can start by working your way up with more hp. The game depends on how low or high you're hp is not the fp or bp. The lower the hp the more star points you get

In rogueport,go to the far right and go to the first wall.Then walk forward and there's an area with a bandit and a boy named darkly.

Go to the far right and go to the middle of the two buildings and go forward in paper mode.

To get to Chet Rippo you need to acquire Bobbery as a party member in Chapter 6. Once you get him go down the pipe in front of Professor Frankly's House. When you get into the sewers you will notice a cracked wall to your left. Use Bobbery to blow up the crack in the wall and it will reveal a pipe. When you go down the pipe you will be in the background the walk to the house on the right. This house is Chet Rippo's House and he can adjust you and your partners.

The Lucky Day badge can be acquired in two ways. The first way is to reach the 90th floor of The Pit of 100 Trials. It will be in the chest that's on the floor. This badge will also be the second place prize in the lottery in west Rogueport.

Once you have beated the game, go to Poshley Sanctum and once you get there, Lady Bow will be there with Bootler!

Lady Bow was one of your partners in Paper Mario 1.

When you acquire flurrie, go behind the help center in Rougeport, by going through the crack the in the wall. Face the back of the help center, and use flurries gust ability to blow a invisible cover off a door. A door will appear, go into the building and you'll be in the back of the help center.

~Hope this helps.

Go to Creepy Steeple and pretty soon you`ll see a whole bunch of Boos. They will transform into Atomic Boo. Atomic Boo is a mini-boss that you need to defeat to win the game.

To turn purple,wear Luigi's clothes and Wario's clothes at the same time.

It is possible to get Ms. Mowz, professional badge collector, to join your group.

All you have to do, is complete her task.
To do this, go to the Trouble Center, and go to the task, "need a Badge." To find her, go to the roofs, and she should be atop of Zess T.'s house. She'll then ask you to find a badge in Hooktail's castle. The badge should be in Hooktail's room.
(Where you battled her.)
Use Madame Flurries wind blow to uncover it. Take it to Ms. Mowz and she'll join your group.

But, her request won't be available until you complete chapter five!

Note:Before even going to keelhaul key make sure Ms Mowz is on your team and that you have the Head Rattle Badge for your hammer it's actually easy no fp for anything but Head Rattle use it whenever the confusion goes away then you and Ms Mowz attack.
Simple, No?

As the title sugest's, whenever you see a opponent, you should battle it, at Rougeport, it's either, kill Gus, or pay up until your broke, which I find really stupid, after completing the Petal Meadows area with battling everything in sight until they only give you a star point, battle Gus with a whole bunch of Mushrooms and, FP healing items, like I said, battle, battle, BATTLE! One more thing, sometimes before you even battle an opponent, than defeat it, like, it's new, you'll get only one star point, it'll be weird.

The bulliton board always gets updated until you destroy the shadow queen.If you go behind the board you will see different post on the board.

This is my first submission, anyway... To deafeat him first do this:

1) Goombella;hyper;multibonce
2) lots of heath items,boo sheets
3) pit of a hundred trials
4) apply all of the strength badges to partners

Then go down the pit of a hundred trials,make sure Goombella has 1 life point left do not heal her AT ALL!!! Then fight him using a boo sheet for Goombella and keep her in the boo sheet and heal yourself. Use Goombella's multibonce and you will win![Oh and also give her FP items,too(sorry).]

NEVER use Ruin Powder on an Ember or Lava Bubble! They go crazy and quickly multiply-faster than you can kill them.

If you are not very good at yoshi's ground pound attack the farthest foe. It gives you more time.
