Ruddy Road

Paper Mario: Color Splash guide hub

Follow the path until you reach a house. Goes behind the house first, jumps on the right crate and removes the white spot on the back wall. Return to the front and color the rest of the house including roof and front door. Open the door, whereupon numerous Toads rush out, and open it again to enter the house. Look into the closet to your right for an ice flower card and leave the house. Ram the wooden stakes on your left into the ground, cross the bridge to your right and fight against three Shy Guys.

March over another bridge to your right and fight the yellow Shy Guy. Then talk to the purple rescuer Toad, who misses his three friends, and shake the two Shy Guys off the tree by hammer. Return to the left and march over the forward bridge that leads you to a Save Block.

Take care of the Shy Guy on your left and then move on to the right. You see first an incomplete color star and second a Snake of Shy Guys. You can attack the rear by hammer or simply march past it to a Koopa clan clan clan. As soon as he storms in your direction, you jump on him quickly.


Run on after the fight and march over the bridge that runs backwards. The next Shy Guy wears a pointed hat on his head, so you must not attack him with a jump attack. Then take care of a normal Shy Guy and continue marching until you come across a sign. Strike against it with the hammer and pull on the white pole to the left to unlock a shortcut. March back to the color star with the Shy Guy in tow until the events literally roll over.

During the following sequence, just run forward and jump over all obstacles as best you can. Then talk to the Toad and go to the overturned tree on your right. Hit the lid from the inside so that it folds backwards and forms a ramp. Go upstairs and follow the path until you reach the Bowser tape. Pull it off and march over the curled path to bend it straight. From time to time you have to help with the hammer, if a kink should be too steep.

At the end you have to jump on the Shy Guys at the same time as the Toad to flatten them and can finally collect the now complete color star to finish the level. The star opens your way to Cherry Lake.Cherry Lake
