Paper Mario 2 Walkthrough

Paper Mario 2 (also known as Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door) is a Nintendo GameCube game, released in the summer of 2004. It is the sequel to the highly popular and influential Paper Mario, which was created for the Nintendo 64. The game is unlike most Super Mario games in that it is not a platform-style video game, but rather a role-playing game (RPG), featuring a turn-based battle system, the kind that can be seen in most role playing games. Also, as the name of the game suggests, you play a paper version of Mario who can, at different points in the game, turn into different shapes, such as a boat, a scroll, or a paper airplane. This gives the game a unique and fresh edge, and is part of what makes Paper Mario 2’s walkthrough so entertaining.

For this Paper Mario 2 walkthrough, I will be focusing on the unlockable items and secrets in the game. There are four different unlockable mini-games that can be played by completing certain side quests. To unlock the Boat Parlor game, you must fully complete the “I Must Have That Book” side quest. For the Airplane minigame, you will need to complete the ‘Try and find me!’ search. For the Paper parlor game, you need to finish the ‘Save My Daddy!’ side quest and finally for the Tube parlor game you will need to complete ‘Something Important!’ secondary mission. These are the best unlockables in the game, and it’s what I suggest you focus on unlocking.

For people struggling to earn a lot of coins, there’s a Paper Mario 2 guide technique you can use to get rich quick (in-game of course!). To do this, you must first buy as many ‘sleeping sheep’ as you can from Toad Bros. Buy them, then take them to the Petalburg store where you can sell them, for a profit of two coins per sheep!
