Lighthouse Island

Paper Mario: Color Splash guide hub

First march all the way to the left and past the lighthouse. Talk to the Toad standing in front of the black Dodgy Fog and return to the tower. Talk to the captain, enter the tower and fall through the pit to the left of the front door. Talk to another Toad and color the door uniformly to earn a few cards in the following mini-game.

Stand on the elevator and go back upstairs. March up the stairs and in between click on the Crate where someone is held captive. Unfortunately, your hammer is too weak to destroy the Crate. You can also find Princess Peach-Post 5 here.

Therefore, keep going up and color the next Toad at the top. Then you can press the cut button and remove the middle part of the lighthouse, but you still lack the right map to fill the gap.

Go back down, jump quickly against the question mark block and march down the path. Locate the Koopa clan clan clan hiding behind the bush and hit it from the front with the hammer. Go right and talk to the Toad standing next to the waterfall. Move on to the right until you meet the Toad from the lighthouse. Then jump against the question mark block to your left and pull on the rope to remove the waterfall.


Enter the area to your right, save and climb into the green pipe to reach the parallel world. There, as on the Strudelinsel, you will meet mainly Boos and Dry Bones. The former appear in several layers, but can be combated surprisingly easily with hopping pushes.

First, follow the way forward to remove some white spots. Then return to the pipe and march to the place where the waterfall could be seen in the normal world. Strike against the brittle wall until it breaks down and return to the normal world. Go to the waterfall, color the question mark block and grab the map. Once again enter the parallel world and go again to the waterfall, where now a fully functional development block floats in the air.

As soon as you jump against block, suddenly a path is created with several Koopas that throw you with ice balls. In any case, fight the front left and then jump against the unfolding block. Run past the remaining three opponents in zigzag and hit the barrel with the red symbol. For safety’s sake, save once more in the normal world and then march in the parallel world over the newly created bridge.


Follow the path until you reach the lighthouse and enter it. In the parallel world, it’s not just pitch-dark: the floor is made of thin wooden planks that you can’t see due to the darkness. If you step by, then you fall into the depths and have to deal with numerous bugs.

You can make the floor visible by spraying with your Hammer Paint.

So you reach the stairs to the left and reach the next higher floor. There the game repeats, except that in the middle you come across an also invisible Crate, which you must destroy.

If you have also reached the second stairs, then march all the way up and squeeze out the Lightbulb. Go back down and color your path so that you are on the far right. Jump down bravely and take the elevator behind you up to leave the lighthouse.

Return to the normal world and go to the lighthouse there. On your way to the top, you will encounter a blue savior-toad who was trapped in the Crate and is now free. At the top you press the cut button and place the Lightbulb in the lighthouse. Leave him, return to the ship and let the helmsman know to finish the level. The new destination is Fortune Island.Fortune Island
