Super Paper Mario/Chapter 1: Lineland

Heart Pillar 1

-= Flipside Tower =-

After a very lengthy cut scene (answer yes to Merlon's question or your game will end), you are now in control of Mario in the town of Flipside. Follow Tippi left and down the elevator.

-= Flipside 2nd floor =-

At the bottom of the elevator, go left and save your game, then follow Tippi right. Use the elevator.

-= Flipside 3rd floor =-

Follow her left. Walk up to and "use" (up on the D-pad) the pillar.

Go back to the right and use the elevator again. Now use the elevator to the right of the save block you used earlier.

Chapter 1-1: The Adventure Unfolds

Enemies:

• Goomba - Max HP:1, Attack:1, Defense:0
• Squiglet - Max HP:2, Attack:1, Defense:0
• Squig - Max HP:4, Attack:1, Defence:0
• Sproing-Oing - Max HP:4, Attack:1, Defense:0

Get it? Unfolds? Paper? Ha ha. Yeah. Anyway, just move far to the right side of this screen, jumping on the enemies to kill them. In the house there, use Tippi to reveal a hidden door. You'll meet Bestovious, who will teach you how to flip to 3D for 10,000 coins. Decline twice to make him teach it to you for free! Now flip to 3D (Press the A button as Mario). When you do, a meter will appear at the top of the screen. If it runs out, you'll lose 1 HP, so be careful!

Go back outside, then flip near the door surrounded by blocks in order to get into it. In the next area, continue going right and flip near the green pipe to pass it. When you get to a giant gap, flip again and walk on the path to the left.

When you get to a large wall that seems impossible to pass, flip and keep going. In the next area (yup, another one), hit the ? block to get a Mega Star that makes you...MEGA MARIO!! You can kill any enemies and break bricks by touching them. When your power runs out, you'll find a Star Block, which you can hit to end this chapter.

Chapter 1-2: Afoot in the Foothills

Enemies:

• Koopa Troopa - Max HP:1, Attack:1, Defense:1
• Paratroopa - Max HP:1, Attack:1, Defense:1
• Spiky Tromp - Attack:1 (Cannot be defeated)

You'll now have to cross Mount Lineland to get to Yold Town, which leads to the Pure Heart. Jump on the Koopa Troopas at the beginning to knock them into their shells, then kick them to get points and crash into other foes. Climb the ledges until you get to large, moving rectangle. By standing in the red square near them, these rectangles will scoop you up and take you to the other side of the area. Run right to find a switch; activate it in 3D to raise ledges leading to more rectangles. Ride them and go through the door.

Keep going right until you seem to reach a dead end, then flip into 3D to find some blocks you can use as steps. Do the same for the next set. Defeat the Koopas here, and proceed towards the incline. Some Spiky Tromps are rolling down it. They are nearly impossible to jump over, so use 3D and go through the door. You'll find a large gap that you cannot jump across. Go into the nearby pipe and go into the house. Go up the stairs and flip into 3D to find Red, who will put down the bridge for you. Continue across the bridge to Yold Town.

If you want to, you can talk to the people here or visit another one of Howzit's shops. When you're ready to continue, go to the mayor's house on the far right to hear that if you are rally the hero, you must have a Pixl shaped like a hand. To find it, enter the house to the left of the mayor's (whose name is Watchitt), flip, and enter the pipe behind the books. To avoid the Thwomps, flip again and go through the door. You'll come to a seemingly empty room, but wait! Use Tippi to find a hidden door. Here, you'll find the Pixl Watchitt was talking about, Thoreau, but you'll be become locked in the room where you found him. To get out, grab the nearby block with Thoreau by pressing the 1 button, then jump and press it again near the switch. Return to Watchitt, who will tell the bridge...guy to put down the bridge. Go to his house by using the pipe near Watchitt's. Talk to him (his name's Green, by the way) and you'll be able to cross to the Star Block.

Down the stairs and through the door. Go right. Jump over the sand rivers and use 3-D mode to bypass the fire wheel. Jump up on the item block and jump right. Down the ladder to find a life shroom. Go back to the item brick. Enter the door to the right.

Again, use 3-D mode to bypass the flame wheels. Go all the way to the end of the hall until you find some bricks that are only viewable in 3-D mode. In 3-D mode, jump up and hit them. Now switch back to 2-D. Cool huh? Enter the door.

Use 3-D mode to bypass the tromps, then climb the ladder and open the chest. Go back through the door. Use the key to open the locked door you passed earlier.

Hit the save block. The item blocks aren't worth the hassle, so just continue right. Use 3-D mode to bypass the Tromps again, and, while still in 3-D mode, jump on the item brick and use it to reach the door.

Fall down to the right. Grab and throw an enemy into the switch (if you're close to leveling up, there are infinite enemies in this room). Climb back up the ladder and through the door.

Go back to where the sand pit was (with the coin bricks) to find a key. Jump up and use Thoreau to grab it. Go back to the right and unlock the door.

Down the stairs and use Tippi to reveal a ledge under the door. Enter by jumping off one of the stairs.

Walk right into what appears to be a dead end. Flip into 3-D to find a path off to the right. Follow it and open the chest for a Buzzy Beetle card. Follow the path back.

This time go left and flip into 3-D underneath the key. This will reveal a passage in the wall where the key is actually at (quite the optical illusion eh?). Go back and unlock the door.

Use the spring and continue to the left. Dead end? I think not. 3-D mode! Climb the ladder. Jump on the blue ! block and be ready to run to the left. Ready? RUN! Go back and press the red button.

Fall down the hole. Neat huh? Enter the door.

Go into 3-D mode to reveal what order to hit the blocks in (1, 2, 3, 4). Up the stairs. Save and grab the super shroom from the item block. Enter the pipe.
