Super Paper Mario guide hub

In Super Paper Mario you will find numerous stores and dealers. In addition to ordinary healing and combat items, you can buy rare cooking ingredients, catch cards, treasure maps and permanent improvements.

Prices vary considerably in some cases. An item that is expensive in Flipside can be significantly cheaper in Yold Town or at Flimm. A price comparison is therefore worthwhile especially before the pits of the 100 tests and other major challenges.

This Is How Item Stores Work

In the ordinary item stores you have several functions available:

  • Buy: Buy an item from the respective range.
  • Sell: Sell items from your inventory.
  • Storage: Give items to the common storage.
  • Pick up: Take back previously stored items.
  • Check Load Points: See your current score.

Up to 32 items can be stored in the common warehouse. An item that you store in Yold Town, for example, can also be picked up later in the store of Flipside or Flopside.

Store Points and Rewards

For every purchase in a participating item store, you will receive a charging point. It does not matter how expensive the purchased item is. A cheap item brings just as much a point as an Ultra mushroom mix.

The points system is common to all participating stores. So you do not have to do the necessary purchases at a single dealer.

Loading points Rewards
10 Cake Mix
20 Honey
30 Large egg
50 Spagetti
70 Meat
100 Mega-Koopa clan clan clan fishing card
150 Slime
200 Golden Leaf
250 Ultra mushroom mix
300 Whacka fishing card

After the reward for 300 points, the counter is reset. Then the reward series starts again.

Tip: Buy items as cheap as possible for the store points. Fire blasts for seven coins and armored kicks for eight coins in Yold Town are better than expensive healing items.


Howzit‘ Item Store in Flipside

Location: Flipside, 2. Level near the Dimension Storm

Howzit operates the main general item store in Flipside. Its range includes healing, combat and defense items.

Subject matter Price Effects
Courage Shell 10 coins For a short time, halve the damage suffered.
Firefight 20 coins Attack the visible opponents with fire.
Gold Bar 100 coins Can later be sold again or used for cooking.
Ice Storm 40 coins Freeze visible opponents.
Life Mushroom ( Paper Mario series) 100 coins Revive the character after a defeat automatically with 5 HP.
Long-term mix 30 coins Gradually restores HP over a period of time.
Tank kick 20 coins Creates a tank that races through enemy lines after kicking.
Mushroom mixture 30 coins Heals 10 HP and eliminates poison.
Sleepy Sheep 10 coins Temporarily puts visible opponents into sleep.
Star Medal 50 coins Add 1,000 points to your points account immediately.

The Courage Shell and the Sleepy Sheep are particularly cheap here. For mushroom mix, fire blast, tank kick and life mushroom, however, the store in Yold Town offers significantly better prices.

Getzo’s Item Store in Flopside

Location: Flopside, 2. Level near the tower

Getzo is the Flopstadter counterpart to Howzit. He sells rare and particularly strong items, but sometimes demands high prices.

Subject matter Price Effects
Block block 50 coins Makes the character invulnerable for a short time.
Spirit mushroom 88 coins Rare item and ingredient for special recipes.
Gold Bar × 3 300 coins Equivalent to three gold bars and serves mainly as a monetary reserve.
Gold medal 500 coins Add 10,000 points to your points account immediately.
Starch drink 70 coins Double your attack power for a short time.
Stopwatch 50 coins Stops visible opponents temporarily.
Super mushroom mix 80 coins Heals 20 HP and eliminates poison.
Thunder Rage 80 coins Hit all visible opponents with a Lightning.
Ultra mushroom mix 300 coins Heals 50 HP and eliminates poison.
Volt Mushroom 30 coins Electrifies the character so that opponents suffer damage when touched.

The block block and strength potion are especially useful before boss fights. The Ultra mushroom mix is comparatively expensive. Often stronger healing objects can be produced more favorably by cooking.

Howzit‘ Shop in Yold Town

Location: Chapter 1-2, first building in Yold Town

This store is the cheapest outlet in the game for many standard items. It is excellent for creating supplies before larger tasks or collecting store points.

Courage Shell 25 coins
Firefight 7 coins
Life Mushroom ( Paper Mario series) 50 coins
Long-term mix 15 coins
Starch drink 50 coins
POW Block 60 coins
Tank kick 8 coins
Mushroom mixture 11 coins

Fire blast, tank kick, mushroom mix, long-term mix and life mushroom are much cheaper here than in Flipside. Especially the mushroom mix for eleven coins is suitable for cooking and reselling.

Twinkle-Mart in space

Location: Chapter 4-3 in outer space

The Twinkle-Mart only sells three different chocolate bars. At least one of these is needed during the main story to strengthen squirps and open a gate.

Subject matter Price
Sweet chocolate bar 10 coins
Mushroom candy bar 50 coins
Golden candy bar 100 coins

The chocolate bars can also be made later by Dillia. During the first visit to space, however, the necessary ingredients are not yet fully available.

Note: Purchases at the Twinkle-Mart do not bring store points.

Subject matter Price
Courage Shell 8 coins

Original fruit 22 coins

Super mushroom mix 100 coins

The surprise box for three coins is the cheapest regularly offered item. This makes it excellent for quickly collecting charging points.

The original fruit is also needed for several recipes and can only be reliably procured in a few places.


All five Itty Bits stores

Itty Bits are tiny ingredient stores that can only be entered with Dottie. Each shop has a small door, which is much too small for a normally large character.

Shrink with dottie and enter the door. The ingredients offered are especially important for the collection of recipes.

Itty Bits in Flipside

Location: Flipside, 1. Basement behind Flimming

Swim through the underground waterway to Flimm. The small shop door is located in the area behind or near the dealer.

ingredient Price
Large egg 25 coins
Cake Mix 25 coins
Honey 20 coins

Itty Bits in Flopside

Location: Flopside, 1. Basement near flame

Peachy Princess Peach 25 coins

Itty Bits in Downtown of Crag

Location: Chapter 7-4 on one of the left cloud buildings

ingredient Price
Hot Dog (item) 120 coins
Hot Sauce 20 coins

The hot sauce is needed for several strong recipes. The hot dog, on the other hand, is very expensive and can usually be produced cheaper by cooking.


Flimm – the cheap trader

Main location: Flipside, 1. Basement near the Café The Underwhere

Flimm sells a selection of healing items and cooking ingredients. At its permanent location in Flipside, its prices are about 25 percent below the usual store prices.

Subject matter Price at Flimm
Large egg 19 coins
Cake Mix 19 coins
Spagetti 23 coins
Vegetables 15 coins
Spirit mushroom 66 coins
Golden Leaf 68 coins
Honey 15 coins
Horsetail 14 coins
Ink juice 23 coins
Keel Keel Keel Mango 15 coins
Life Mushroom ( Paper Mario series) 75 coins
Peachy Princess Peach 19 coins
POW Block 60 coins
Shooting Star (item) 120 coins
Herbs 12 coins

Flimm can also appear randomly in the rest rooms of the two pits of the 100 tests.

  • In the flipside pit, it demands approximately the normal store prices.
  • In the flopside pit he can demand double the usual prices.

Only buy from him in the flopside pit if you urgently need a healing object. Its prices there are unsuitable for a normal shopping tour.

Flamm – Dealer of the 48 Treasure Maps

Location: Flopside, 1. Basement near the bar The Overthere

Flamm sells a total of 48 Treasure Maps. Its range is fully accessible according to Chapter 5.

Each map shows a section of a dimension already visited or later reachable. Once you have bought the map, you can use Fleep to uncover a hidden treasure at the location shown.

The treasures include:

  • Rare catch cards
  • Gold bar and gold treasures
  • Ultra mushroom mixes
  • Power Plus (badge)
  • MAX UP Heart
  • Other combat and healing objects

All 48 Treasure Maps together cost 3,870 coins. The complete overview with prices and locations of the treasures is on the separate Treasure Maps page.


The two fishing card shops

Catching Card Store in Flipside

Location: Flipside, 1. Level

  1. Runs on the 1. All the way to the right.
  2. Blast the cracked wall with Boomer.
  3. Then switch to the 3D view.
  4. Follow the hidden passage to the store.
Offer Price Content
Random packet 10 coins Contains a randomly selected catch card.
Catch chart 20 coins Can capture a visible normal opponent with a certain probability.

The random card packets are particularly suitable at the beginning of the collection. Later, however, double cards are drawn more and more often.

Catching Card Shop in Flopside

Location: Flopside, 1. Level

This store sells specifically named catch cards. The offer changes regularly, so you should visit the store several times.

Offer Price
Changing named Catch Cards about 10 to 500 coins
Super Catch Card 100 coins

The super catch card has a much higher success rate than the normal catch card. Against final opponents and completely invulnerable opponents, it still does not work.

For a complete collection, you should pay particular attention to cards in the Flopside store that you are missing and are not available as a fixed find or reward.

E-mil and the Flipside Arcade

The hidden arcade is located behind the Café The Underwhere in the 1. Basement of Flipside. Switch to the 3D view in the café and use the golden warp pipe.

E-mil sells flipside chips. A chip costs the equivalent of three coins. Winned or purchased chips can be exchanged for items.

Premium Price
Surprise box 5 chips
Catch chart 10 chips
Shooting Star (item) 75 chips
Ultra mushroom mix 150 chips
Whacka Bump 300 chips
Susel-Wusel fishing card 500 chips
MAX UP Heart 2,500 chips
Power Plus (badge) 2,500 chips

The Susel-Wusel Catch Card is required for the complete card collection. MAX UP Heart and Power Plus increase your values permanently and can be purchased several times.

A detailed explanation of the four mini-games and the Golden Card is on the separate side to the arcade.

Francis to sell Tiptron

Location: Fort Francis in Chapter 3-4

After completing the main story, you can return to Francis. Since Tippi is no longer part of the group after the final, Francis offers you his robotic copy Tiptron.

Tiptron costs 999 coins and thus the maximum possible coin stock.

Tiptron takes on Tippi’s most important skills:

  • Examining opponents and people
  • Show HP, attack and weaknesses of opponents
  • Make invisible blocks and platforms visible
  • Uncover hidden doors and other secrets

Tiptron makes sense for 100 percent completion, as after the credits numerous hidden maps, map treasures and puzzles can still be solved.


The cheapest shopping places

Subject matter Cheapest reliable trader Price
Firefight Yold Town 7 coins
Tank kick Yold Town 8 coins
Courage Shell Downtown of Crag 8 coins
Mushroom mixture Yold Town 11 coins
Long-term mix Yold Town 15 coins
Life Mushroom ( Paper Mario series) Yold Town 50 coins
Surprise box Downtown of Crag 3 coins
Cake Mix Flimm 19 coins
Honey Flimm 15 coins
Large egg Flimm 19 coins
Spagetti Flimm 23 coins
Vegetables Flimm 15 coins
Herbs Flimm 12 coins
Horsetail Flimm 14 coins
Keel Keel Keel Mango Flimm 15 coins

Make Money by Buying and Selling

Some stores have different buying and selling prices. As a result, certain items can be purchased cheaply, processed and subsequently sold at a profit.

An easy option is the mushroom mix from Yold Town:

  1. Buy a mushroom mix for 11 coins.
  2. Let it be processed from Saffron into fried mushrooms.
  3. Sell the finished dish in an item store.

Ingredients from Flimm can also be worth much more after cooking. However, make sure not to accidentally consume rare ingredients that you still need for the recipe directory.

A particularly productive later method uses Super-Catch Cards and Amazy Dayzee in Chapter 5-2. Catch the opponent and sell his card at the Flopstadter Fangkarteladen. Since the super catch card costs 100 coins and the rare card is worth much more, the coin maximum can be reached quickly.
