Old Characters [Easter Egg]
You can meet or hear about five characters that were in the first Paper Mario game on the N64. To hear about these characters, witness or do the following: listen to the letter that Koops reads off in Hooktails Castle, talk to Koops’ father, read Lumpy’s journal, and talk to the Boo at Podley Heights after beating the game.

Hint: Style
Directly after a hammer attack, or at the highest point after a jump attack, tap
A again and Mario will do a stylish trick earning him more star points. This
works for his allies as well. Tap A directly after doing Koops shell throw and
he will spin on his back earning more style.

Hint: Luigi clothes
To get Luigi's clothes, go to where you get the sixth crystal star.
From here, do a spring jump up to a pole on the left side. Do
another spring jump to reach a ledge with the Luigi Emblem.

Ghost's Curse
This really won't help you in your game, in fact, save before you do this, or
you'll lose some game data. -- When you find the Ragged Diary in the Excess
Train's Baggage Cart after meeting the ghost, read the diary and the ghost will
appear out of nowhere really angry and curse Mario, earning you an instant game
over.

Hint: Infinite Shop Points
First you will have to have given Zest T. her new contact lense. Then buy a lot
of mushrooms at the shop in RoguePort for 5 coins each. Then cook them all into
Shroom Frys at Zest T.'s. You can sell the Shroom Frys back for 5 coins, the
same price you paid for the mushrooms. Using this you can gain free shop points.
Note: This trick only works once you have Zest T.

Hint: Whack a Mole
In chapter 5 on Keelhaul Key, walk to the northwest of the camp. Talk to the
mole and hit him with your hammer he will leave behind a bump, get the bump. You
can leave the area and go back there again to repeat this. Or, after you finish
the pirate’s grotto you can enter the grotto through the hole in the mountain
and exit, then whack the mole again and again. This way is a lot faster. You can
sell them in different places for different profit.
The shop in the Rougeport plaza - 55 coins.
The shop next to Pianta Parlor - 64 coins
Excess Express - 100 coins
Every other shop will only give you 50 coins.

Atomic Boo and Lucky Start
In Creepy Steeple, after you've freed the Boos, stand still in the main room.
Wait for some Boos to start sticking to you, the use your Super Hammer attack to
shake them off. Do this twice, and the Boos will get mad and form the Atomic
Boo. When beaten, he will drop the Lucky Start badge. This is needed if you want
to fill up your Tattle Log and get all badges.

Few hints
1. You can skip atomic boo then come back for him later
2. If you have zap tap on enemies like fuzzies and swoopulas can’t hurt you.
3. To get information that you need to pay for eg. how to get to don pianta, stories, old wonkey. You can save, then listen to them, then reset to keep your cash.
4. You can’t have more than 999 coins.

Missing Tattle Logs
Missed any Tattle Logs, particularly boss logs? They are not gone for good.
Check Professor Frankly's yellow trash can. You will find Tattle Logs thrown
away for bosses and other once-only enemies. The log will only appear in the
trash once you've gone past the last possible point to Tattle that enemy.

Hint List

Hint: Easy Money
Once you've gotten to PetalBurg in the First Chapter you can use a trick to make
easy money. First go to RougePort and buy as many sleepy sheep as you can carry,
making sure to fill up your storage box aswell. When your pockets and storage
box is full, head over to PetalBurg. Once at Petalburg, go into the Item Shop to
sell your sleepy sheep for a 2 coin profit per sheep. Make sure you remember to
withdraw and sell all the sleepy sheep you stored. To increase productivity, on
the way back to rougueport, stock up on turtley leaves, again filling up the
storage box, and sell them at the item shop where you picked up the sleepy sheep
to gain 2 coins per leaf.
Hint: After getting Taste T. you can cook the leaves into koopa tea for an extra
1 coin per leaf.

Secret Shop & Ally
Location: In The Great Tree in Boggly Woods, there is a Secret Shop.

To find this shop, go into the room that has a Hard to get Badge. Pretty much it's out of reach. Plus, the room should have 2 Piders in it. Anyways, drop down below and head to the far left, near the Save Block. At the Wall, use Flurrie's Wind Blow Ability to blow away a Piece of Paper, covering the Entrance. Now enter. The Shop contains Regular Mushrooms for 3 Coins, Honey Syrups for 5 Coins, HP Drains for 10 Coins, Mysteries for 3 Coins, Mini Mr. Minis for 8 Coins, and Ice Stroms for 15 Coins.

Also, just to cheer you up, I think this only happens in Chapter 2, but, when you're in the Shop, go behind the two Stumps in the Lower Left corner of the Shop and you'll meet Jabble, Punio's Lost Friend, the Jabbie. If you don't hurt him, he'll join your Party . Sorry to disappoint you, but he's not a Partner. But I think he fights against the Jabbies for
you with the other Punies. And he doesn't even count in your Group (What I mean is that you'll have 101 Punies total in the Game. But, when Jabble joins, it'll still be 101. Not 102.) Get it? Ok.

The Secret Behind the Title
The big ship you see there has pulleys and chains. Well, back in the old days during pirate time, Captains would keelhaul shipmates by tying them to pulleys and lowering them in the water. Thus, leading the pulleys to the other side of the ship, scraping the shipmates on the bottom of the ship. Many pirates died from lack of air and injuries back then. That is why the name is Keelhaul! Torturous don't you think!

Lottery Cheat
In the lottery at Rogueport if you change your game cube clock to the next day
you can cheat the lottery. The second time however you are fined 500 coins for
cheating.

Turn into NES Mario [Easter Egg]
Just like in the 1st Paper Mario, there is an easter egg to revert Mario from paper to 8-bit sprite. Only this time it works on your partners too! In the X-Naut Base in Chapter Seven. Find the room with the swinging grate on Sublevel 2. Stand under it and use your Ultra Jump to jump up into the air vent. Press R and slide through the grate on the far right. You'll land in the changing room where Peach disguised herself, inside one of the stalls. When you pull back the curtain, you and your partner will be a sprite. This change does not affect game play and will wear off when you leave the room.

Infinite Shop Points
You will have to have given Zest T. her new contact lense first. Then buy a several mushrooms at the shop in RoguePort. They are 5 coins each. Then cook them all into Shroom Frys at Zest T.'s. You can sell the Shroom Frys back for 5 coins, the same price you paid for the mushrooms. Using this you can gain free shop points. Note: This trick only works once you have Zest T.

Hint: Free Tattle
Go to Profesor Frankly's office and press the big green button (A) at his
garbage and info about a random enemy and is transferred to your tattle log.

Hint: Defeating the Shadow Qween
Make sure that you have 60 HP, 60 FP, and 30 BP. When you fight her
just as Peach use Vivian as your partner. Then. use the spinning
jump and Vivian's Shade Fist until the Shadow Qween turns into her
other form. Then switch to Koops. Use his power shell to attack the
hands and the body. Now, use the Power Smash badge. Also, when she
adds 7 more to her next attack, use either Koops' Shell Shield or
Vivians Veil. Make sure both Koops' and Vivian's level is at the
highest. Repeat this and you should be able to win. Do not forget to
heal and make sure you have a lot of Life Shrooms.

Hint: Shadow Palace Maze
In the shadow palace you will eventually run into a hallway with 4 doors and
many stairs. This is a maze. All of the rooms look the same except for one
thing: the torches. Follow the position of the flame (and the door nearby) to
get through the maze.

Hint: Extra Clothes
There are 3 extra cloths Mario can wear, his only changes marios clothing color,
not his physical appearance.
If you collect the W Emblem badge from Charlieton, the traveling salesman,
equip it to change into Wario's clothes.
If you collect the L Emblem badge from Poshley Sanctum, equip it to change
into Luigi's clothes.
Equip both the W and L Emblem badges to change into Waluigi's Clothes.

In the game, there are two Emblem badges. They are the W Emblem, and the L
Emblem. Finding these badges is tough. Equipping the W Emblem will make Mario
use Wario's Costume. Equipping the L Emblem will make Mario use Luigi's
Costume.During Chapter 4, Charlieton (The BIG guy in Rogueport Plaza, South of
the cook's house.) will sell the W Emblem for 360 coins.

It is rumored that equipping the W and L Emblems at the same time will unlock
Waluigi's costume, but it's a rumor, so don't get mad if it DOESN'T work.

Angered Rawk Hawk
After you sign into the Glitz Pit and win a few fights, come into the main lobby
to see Rawk Hawk being adored by his fans. Use Mario's Hammer or Flurrie to get
rid of the fans, and when all of them are gone, Rawk Hawk will get mad and scold
you.

Hint: Waluigi clothes
Equip both the Luigi Emblem and the Wario Emblem at the same time.
Your clothes will be exactly like Waluigi's.
Paper Mario SecretsWaluigi's Clothes

be purple and his overalls will be purple, just like Waluigi.

Hint: Wario clothes
To get Wario's clothes for Mario, go to the central area of
Rougeport with 360 Coins. There should be a merchant with a large
mustache. He sells something called a Wario Emblem from time to
time. It is a badge that requires no badge points to wear.

Hint: Defeating Hooktail
Before fighting Hooktail, get the Sound Changing Badge in the jail
cell. The sound is a cricket noise, and is Hooktail's weakness.

Easter Egg: Turn into NES Mario
Just like in the first Paper Mario, there is an easter egg to revert Mario from
paper to 8-bit sprite. Only this time it works on your partners too! In the

Needle Ceiling Puzzle
On one of the floors of Shwonk Fortress, you'll find a representation of the
'needle ceiling' puzzle in Hooktail's Castle. The purple areas are where Mario
can walk after the needles have lifted from the floor.

Perform FP-comsuming attacks without using FP
If you use an FP-Consuming attack outside of battle(Such as a Spin jump) and get
a first strike, you will use that move automatically in battle without using any
FP at all.

Timing For Styles
To get help on landing those Stylish moves, get the badge called "Time Tutor" or "Timing Tutor" or something similar to that. With that badge equipped, when you are in battle, if there is an opportunity to add a little Style to your attacks and moves, a little "!" speech bubble will appear above your character at the moment you should press the A Button.

Shadow Palace Maze
In the shadow palace you will run into a hallway with 4 doors and several stairs like a maze. All of the rooms look the same except for the torches. Follow the position of the flame (and the door nearby) to get through the maze.

Free Tattle
Go to Profesor Frankly's office and press the big green button (A) at his garbage and info about a random enemy and is transferred to your tattle log.

Game Over before final boss fight
In the Palace of Shadow, during the cutscenes before you fight the Shadow Queen,
she will ask you if you want to join her (make sure you saved before the
cutscenes). If you choose 'Yes', you will get a weird ending for the game in
which you join the Queen, and get a 'Game Over'.

Reacquiring Stolen Coins
At the start of the game, you will get robbed by a blue bandit on the west side of town. He will steal half of your coins. After this happens, all may seem lost, but it’s not. Head back to the town square and into the back alley adjacent to it. Make a right and go through the door, and you will find the blue bandit. Simply by speaking to him, he will return what he stole from you.

Money $$$ Money
Once you've gotten to PetalBurg in the First Chapter you can use a trick to make easy money. First go to RougePort and buy as many sleepy sheep as you can carry, making sure to fill up your storage box aswell. When your pockets and storage box is full, head over to PetalBurg. Once at Petalburg, go into the Item Shop to sell your sleepy sheep for a 2 coin profit per sheep. Make sure you remember to withdraw and sell all the sleepy sheep you stored. To increase productivity, on the way back to rougueport, stock up on turtley leaves, again filling up the storage box, and sell them at the item shop where you picked up the sleepy sheep to gain 2 coins per leaf.

Hint: After getting Taste T. you can cook the leaves into koopa tea for an extra 1 coin per leaf.

Hint: Ms. Mowz
In story mode, you will get six characters (Goombella, Koops, Madame
Flurrie, Yoshi, Vivian, and Admiral Bobbery). However after Chapter
4, go to the Trouble Center and take the chore of the mystery
person. You will figure out that it is the mouse thief and when the
mission is over you get the partner Ms. Mowz.

Star Point Farming
[Submitted by: Cheat Masters ]
After the demon you can easilly get 40 star points. Go to Twilight Trail, in the forest. Make sure you have very powerful jump power, enough to inflict at least 15 damage per jump. Have someone like Flurrie upgraded fully as well. You will need Bobbery to be able to upgrade anyone twice. He blows up a wall in Hooktail Castle which leads to an up arrow, which you take to Merlin and he can then upgrade partners twice. You also need to be able to make 20 damage in one turn (regardless if you have a partner or no partner).

Either way, you are fighting a Crayzee Dayzee. If a gold one appears at the back, do a spring jump on it. Try do the same. If you defeat the gold enemy (the Amayzee Dayzee), you earn 40 star points! If no Amayzee Dayzees appear, go through the slot thing part and fight the next Crayzee Dayzee.

If none appear, then go to the next place, and fight that one. Keep going back and forth between those enemies and eventually you will be able to find an Amayzee Dayzee. If you find one and beat it, then move on to the next one. I must warn you that Amayzee Dayzees not only hit hard, but they also run away as its first chance.


Peach In A Ruffle [Easter Egg]
When you are doing Peach's part you can go left of her bedroom and take a shower and her hair style will be different. NOTE: when you leave the room her hair will be back to normal.

Easy Turtley Leaves
Need more Turtley leaves for all of Zess. T's recipes? Easy. One way is to solve
Kroop's trouble and he'll give you a Turtley leaf. If you ever need more, simply
go in front of his house and behind the front fence and there'll be 3 bushs.
Rattle each one and one of them should give out one. The bush that gives out the
leaves always change and when you get one, you have to go off screen first and
then come back. Quite handy if you want all the recipes.

Extra Clothes
There are 3 extra sets cloths Mario can wear, this only changes marios color, not physical appearance.

If you collect the W Emblem badge from Charlieton, the traveling salesman, equip it to change into Wario's clothes.
If you collect the L Emblem badge from Poshley Sanctum, equip it to change into Luigi's clothes.
Equip both the W and L Emblem badges to change into Waluigi's Clothes.
In the game, there are two Emblem badges. They are the W Emblem, and the L Emblem. Finding these badges is tough. Equipping the W Emblem will make Mario use Wario's Costume. Equipping the L Emblem will make Mario use Luigi's Costume.During Chapter 4, Charlieton (The BIG guy in Rogueport Plaza, South of the cook's house.) will sell the W Emblem for 360 coins.

It is rumored that equipping the W and L Emblems at the same time will unlock Waluigi's costume, but it's a rumor, so don't get mad if it DOESN'T work.


Hint: Easy Star points
When you get into the Glitz Pit, fight until you are near rank 7 or
8. You should now be fighting "the fuzz". Kill the black Fuzzie that
has 3 HP then kill the Flower Fuzzy (pinky). Next, keep the green
one near 1 HP remaining. He will split in two. Kill one of them
(always leave one alive). It also helps when you have Koops out for
a partner. Just leave Mario in front and Koops in back and use his
Shell Shield (new attack when you upgrade him). Every time that it
breaks, put a new one on. It helps to have some Happy Heart or Happy
Flower badges equipped. Keep doing this and you can get 50 Star
points in about five minutes.

Super Mario World music
When you get an important e-mail (ie; the e-mails from Princess Peach), wait a
couple of seconds and you will hear music from Super Mario World.
Mario called "Jumpman" by bystander
In Glitzville, when you make a "comeback" after you beat Rawk Hawk the first
time and fight your way to the finals, one of the spectators will, instead of
cheering "Gonzales", or something to that effect, will cheer "Jumpman! I mean,
who?" Jumpman was the original name for Mario before he was called Mario, IE
back in the days of Donkey Kong Arcade.

Get Ms Mowz
Complete the ??? problem at the Trouble center by finding the secret badge
hidden in Hooktails castle. Return the badge to the mosue ontop of Zess T's
shop, and she will join your team.

In X-Naut Fortress, go in to the ventilation shaft in sublevel 2 and drop
through the far right vent in to the dressing room. Open the curtain of the
stall you fall in to and Mario and all his partners will become 8-bit (they will
look as they would on an 8-bit system like the NES) until you leave the room.
Entering the room the normal way via the door and going in to this stall,
closing the curtain, and opening it again will not work.

Whack a Mole
[Submitted by: Cheat Masters ]
Location: In chapter 5 on Keelhaul Key

Walk to the northwest of the camp. Talk to the mole and hit him with your hammer he will leave behind a bump, get the bump. You can leave the area and go back there again to repeat this. Or, after you finish the pirate’s grotto you can enter the grotto through the hole in the mountain and exit, then whack the mole again and again. This way is a lot faster. You can sell them in different places for different profit.

The shop in the Rougeport plaza --> 55 coins.
The shop next to Pianta Parlor --> 64 coins
Excess Express --> 100 coins
Other shops will only give you 50 coins.


Style
Directly after a hammer attack, or at the highest point after a jump attack, tap A again and Mario will do a stylish trick earning him more star points. This works for his allies as well. Tap A directly after doing Koops shell throw and he will spin on his back earning more style.

Hint: Timing For Styles
To get help on landing those Stylish moves, get the badge called "Time Tutor" or
"Timing Tutor" or something similar to that. With that badge equipped, when you

The big ship you see there has pulleys and chains. Well, back in the old days
during pirate time, Captains would keelhaul shipmates by tying them to pulleys
and lowering them in the water. Thus, leading the pulleys to the other side of
the ship, scraping the shipmates on the bottom of the ship. Many pirates died
from lack of air and injuries back then. That is why the name is Keelhaul!
