Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door Hints

Okay, this cheat is really good and really easy! It's 100% going to work!

Anyway, first go into the Rougeport Sewers, find a Koopatroll enemy and go into battle. (This is only if you have gotten far enough in the game where mostly Bower's troops are in the sewers.) If there is an enemy besides a Koopatroll, kill it. When there is only one Koopatroll left in battle, it should eventually try to call for back up. After it calls for another Koopatroll, kill the old Koopatroll and you'll get some Star Points. Repeat this pattern untill you have tons of Star Points. When you think you have enough, kill the remaining Koopatroll. DO NOT get more than 100 star points or else it will reset back to you getting around 1 point.

K.#1 --> Calls for back-up --> K.#1 & K.#2 --> Mario strikes K.#1 --> There is only K.#2 left --> Calls for back-up --> K.#2 & K.#3 --> Mario strikes K.#2 --> There is only K.#3 left --> and so on...

I hope this cheat helps!

HP 60 20 st from 20 and the all have 20 hp

Another complete joke of a boss (like Doopliss for example?). Not on your life. Cortez is by far the hardest boss we have yet to face with the highest HP and swords that can slice you in half. Anyway I'd recommend Mario and Vivian for the majority of the battle and a good 5 SP is very helpful. Anyway Cortez has three forms the first two having two targets: a head and section of bones. Every 20 damage you give to Cortez he will change forms. The first form is really easy though. Use some minor items like Mushrooms when Cortez deals lots of damage out not major items such as Whacka Bumps or Ultra Shrooms. Try not to use too much FP just 5-10 or so. Eventually the bones around Cortez's body will weaken and that's his next form. Sounds like he'd get weaker but he didn't. In fact, he'll spend a majority of the fight prepared for a bone attack in which will do 7 damage or so to both of your characters. Not a thing I like. Do not use Sweet Treat, no matter what. Beat up on Cortez with power but try not to waste Power Bounce and instead use Fiery Jinx and Power Smash to hurt the bone pile until Cortez's body falls to pieces and he'sleft with only a skull and four weapons: swords rapiers hooks you name it. Believe it or not,this is BY FAR his toughest form. The swords all have 4 HP, but you cannot jump them. And you cannot hammer them either. And they defend Cortez. Combining the Cortez party will all do about 10-12 damage to both Mario and his partner here which is not something you want to face. Start by launching your all-out offensive! Use Art Attack, and make sure you circle around EVERYTHING. Cortez will suffer quite a bit through that, although he'll eat the souls of the crowd afterwards. Remember Hooktail doing that? And the swords will quickly get up. But we don't have time to bother with those now do we? While you're still alive switch Vivian out for Goombella and Power Bounce and Multibonk Cortez to the very last of his days! It matters! Don't bother with defense except maybe to cast Sweet Treat so that you can restore your HP and FP. Trust me on this; this battle is really tough so it's quite easy to
understand if you lose.

Hp 70

Don't worry, this is the LAST TIME we have to fight Lord Crump in a robot or not! Really. =) Anyway he's still a really annoying customer and he's all the stronger in Magnus 2.0. And yes if you have Goombella handy you can see he has 70 HP, 7 attack and 2 defense. That's pretty strong AND he'll use his damned rocket fists as separate enemies as well that's not exactly a picnic. So that makes you faced with three enemies a majority of the time. I used Mario and Vivian for a majority of this battle anyway. Okay so Crump will use those X-Punches. Use Fiery Jinx immediately to wipe those out and then have Mario do Multibounce if you failed that. Shouldn't be
too hard. If you get an opportunity and have lots to spare Art Attack would be a great ability to use although it'll do far more damage against only Crump. He'll also use Magnus to stomp you but that will only do 6-7 damage not exactly that much anymore.

Alright now be VERY careful when Magnus reachs 30 HP. Make sure Mario has at least 25 HP remaining when Magnus goes to 30 HP because then he'll get all of the audience out put them inside his system and through the entire lot of them at you! Yeah that's a VERY deadly attacks hitting many times for 3 damage apiece. Try and block the attacks as best as possible because that's really nasty. If you do survive, use an Ultra Shroom and then use Power Bounce and a strong partner like Vivian Yoshi or Bobbery for the rest of the fight. Once you get past that mark it's an easy battle.

Magnus Hp30 attack power:2 DEF:1

Lord Crump as you might expect is always more bark than bite. Magnus's stomp attacks aren't exactly that dangerous and neither are the earthquake-like attacks although they'll damage both of your characters. Just about the only thing to worry about is him punching his arms out which may target you for quite a bit of damage. Take them out quick with a Multibounce and then pulverize Magnus like he can't be pulverized that's probably the best strategy. Koops and Mario is probably the best party here although a Lv. 2 Goombella is even better if you have her.If you happen to get 2 SP, use Earth Tremor. Do this right and you'll do about 5-6 damage to Magnus which is 1/6 or 1/5 of his HP depending on how you do it. ;) Otherwise, just have Koops use his attacks every turn while Mario invariably uses Power Bounce. This attack will do 7-infinite damage to Magnus as long as you do it correctly (although the chances of you doing more than 12 damage with Power Bounce are very slim, let alone infinite). Keep at it a bit with pure solid aggression, and this robot will fall.

HP 60

There is one move that is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY in this battle and that is Mario's Special move Clock Out. Start the battle by using this spell and make sure you press the button that appears near Grubba instead of the one near Mario and your partner! Seriously. Once Grubba is paralyzed beat him like nuts with Power Bounce and Body Slam or Ground Pound depending on whether you bring Flurrie or Yoshi who are both good choices for this fight. Goombella's Multibonk is also nice. Grubba has a whooping 60 HP which is a real lot. When he does regain his movement he'll be pretty tough I can assure you. He's slow but really strong. What he'll do is cast a spell to give him two turns every time you and Yoshi/Flurrie get finished and then increase his attack power by 2 and then do lots of damage by flipflopping all over you. However you got such a head start on him that this won't be a problem. If necessary just use Sweet Treat or even Earth Tremor.

Hp 40

Nope it doesn't give a name for it, and you'll see why soon. Anyway this fight is almost as easy as the one with Lord Crump at the beginning of the game I'm serious. All he'll do is dive at you doing a little damage every hit. Just beat him around with Mario's Power Bounce and Goombella's Multibont and then he'll get an opportunity to test out his copycatting ability! And thus he turns into a dark version of Mario.

He'll be a little stronger now because he'll be jumping and hammering at you which may do a bit of damage, but he's still effortless with a puny 20 HP left.Beat him a little more and watch as he drops to the floor just like normal Mario would.

HP 40 your partnes are the same hp that you laster have them before

Doopliss and Goombella! Yup but don't bother fighting with Goombella because Doopliss will just replace her for Koops and then Flurrie and then Yoshi...and Yoshi is a force you don't want to reckon. So focus all your strength upon just Doopliss. All he'll do is jump and hammer at you, which can be blocked with A or B. Goombella's a little more dangerous, but she still won't do anything that's too fatal. While Mario's Power Bounce is just that fatal...After two turns, Vivian will jump in and join Mario because "he's the only one who's ever been nice to her". Which is quite correct actually. Anyway the fight just gets easier! Doopliss's Mario form is still a bit tougher than the original Doopliss one but this still isn't anything too bad. Use Sweet Treat and Power Bounce invariably while Vivian just uses her fire attacks. Just try not to run out of FP and you'll be fine.

Hp 50

This is a really really easy boss especially compared to old pirate Cortez.This is like those Yux enemies back in the Great Tree the tentacles will attempt to defend Smorg. Start with Vivian's Fiery Jinx ability burning those Smorg Miasmas away to their death. Smorg will try out a few fancy attacks on you but nothing too bad. Once the tentacles are gone use Power Smash and Art Attack like a madman. If Smorg gets on your wrong side simply use Sweet Treat.When he changes form get even more aggressive with Mario's Power Bounce and Goombella/Bobbery using their best skills. Not tough.

Hp 80

Maybe it was just me but I didn't find this fight nearly as hard as many claim it to be. Meh I don't know why. Anyway Gloomtail is much like Hooktail just a far stronger version. Anyway the usual attacks such as Power Bounce Power Smash and Ultra Smash will work very well in this fight while Vivian or Bobbery are very much recommended since they'll rake up the damage quickly.His attacks are easy to block aside from the poison breath one. If he throws that at you you may want to heal it with a Tasty Tonic.

Eventually though Gloomtail will start charging an ultimate yellow breath. Well yellow was the wrong color! Still it's a nasty attack. It's very very much recommended that you have Vivian use Veil or be prepared to face 15-16 damage to both of your characters. That's the strongest attack yet that's for sure. Anyway watch out for this fatal moment and this fight will work outjust fine.

70 hp (max hp 150)

This dark version of Peach isn't too bad... yet. She'll get much stronger in a
different form; this will just be a warm-up. Although she has 150 HP, give her
about 70 damage and this part of the battle will end. So... my recommended
party is Mario and Yoshi. She'll be doing some pretty strong attacks (about 8
damage or so) but still not that much of a concern. My first attack during this
fight was Supernova, which did 15-16 damage. What I did after that was use
Power Bounce and Stampede, until I got 4 SP.

Art Attack works REALLY well here, believe me. Since Peach's body isn't really that big (taller than Mario though =P) you can circle around her several times and do 15-18 damage even more than Supernova. Eventually she'll switch to her true form. UGLY but that's not the problem. You can't harm her now; focus on trying to defend yourself although don't waste your Ultra Shrooms trust me. Just continue as you are and keep yourself alive. She'll drain your HP and the audience while you can't hit her that's not nice.

SHADOW QUEEN II hp 150

Art Attack doesn't work as well as it did the previous time, because there are three enemies and she's MUCH bigger this time. So start off by using Supernova with 16 damage to her and her stupid hands. Yeah, they'll try and suck you and your partner's HP while she restores it and uses even stronger attacks. The hands shouldn't be that much of a priority though. Anyway once you have the hands out of the way attack the Shadow Queen with every inch of power, since she has the second most HP of any enemy in the game. She WILL bring those damn hands back, but they're not really too annoying. For the partner for this battle, anyway my recommendation is Koops for the first half Vivian for the second half. Koops's fourth skill is just plain invaluable while Vivian's Fiery Jinx and Veil abilities will help in the second half of the fight. While you mow through the hands try and protect yourself while putting on Power Bounce almost every turn. Eventually the Shadow Queen will replace the normal Hands with Dead Hands. Don't even look at these although it's good if you use Koops/Vivian and use your strongest attacks to take them out with the Shadow Queen. By now, she'll be weakening anyway. At that point use every single thing you have left all your Ultra Shrooms and everything (my Mario had 55 HP at this fight, by the
way). Use Veil when the Shadow Queen charges herself up, and you shouldn't have many troubles.


shadow queen 3 you can go for it good luck

Easter Egg: Peach In A Ruffle
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.

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: 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.

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.

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: 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: 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: 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.

Hint List

* You can skip atomic boo then come back for him later
* If you have zap tap on, enemies like fuzzies and swoopulas can’t hurt you.
* 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.
* You can’t have more than 999 coins.

Hint: 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!

Hint - Secret Shop & Ally
In The Great Tree in Boggly Woods, there is a Secret Shop that you can find. To find it, go into the room that has a Hard to get Badge (I forget how I got it and what it was called). 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 kiddies, 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.

Hint - Star Point Farming
Well actually, When you try it it gets annoying. 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.

Hint - No Ticket Passenger (Chapter 6)
Having trouble finding the unticketed passenger? First, go to the conductor he will ask you a question you click "call me blanket pi" then, go to the fourth cabin hide in the shadows with your partner, the shadow siren.

Wait for 10 seconds in the shadows and a ghost will appear. He will ask you to find his diary. Accept the mission and go to the storage room at the back of the train. Talk to the counductor and he will let you enter.

You have to go to the place where two boxes don't touch one another. Press R to get skinny and walk between the boxes. Go around to where you find his diary. Go back to cabin 4, talk to the ghost and give him his diary. He then gives you the blanket. Go back to the conductor, talk to him he will give you a mushroom.

Hint: Reacquiring Stolen Coins

At the beginning 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.

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 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.

Easter Egg: Old Characters

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.

To become Original Mario, You must go to the X-NAUT base on the moon. Go to Sublevel 2 and find a door somewhere to the right. Keep looking until you find a room with a X-scientist(a white x-naut that throws red beakers)and large tanks full of monsters. Go to the top right corner and look on the ceiling for a hole. Use the spring jump(hold down A and go around and around on the control stick)to get on a pole. Go right. Keep going until you find a air vent. Go flat(press R) to get through the air vent.You will end up behind some curtains. Press A at the ! point and wala!!! You are the the original mario from the NES!!!! Press start and go to youre partner screen. They are all pixels!!! When you leave, you will be normal again. :}

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You can’t have more than 999 coins.

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!

If you ever need more Turtley leaves, 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.
