Paper Mario: Color Splash guide hub

Remove the Coin from Mondo Woods

To get to the Dark Bloo Inn, you first have to go to the Mondo Woods and get the blue color star there. Once you defeat Iggy in the golden Colorseum, the big coin is colored and you can just collect it.


In this level, there is a kind of time limit. As soon as the grand clock of the hotel strikes at the third full hour, you will be thrown out and all the progress you have made will be reversed.

Go behind the fence and color the toad to your right. Enter the hotel and talk to the Toad at the reception. March to the left, enter the dining room and press the cut button. You notice that you can remove the image on the wall and put a card in it. However, you have to find the right one first, so you leave the dining room again.

Enter the room next to the clock and wait for what happens. Go to the only book that has not flown off the shelf and dye the floor right in front of it, whereupon a ghost comes out. Talk to him and leave the room.


Chat with the Toad on the far right, walk through the door behind him and talk to the next Toad. Return and march down the stairs leading you to a laundry room with several Shy Guys. Run up again, color the elevator door to your left and drive to the first floor.

Goes all the way to the left, presses the cut button and removes the wall, whereupon the door of room 101 comes out. Locate the truck that is constantly moving back and forth, and color the floor right next to it to track down another ghost. He seeks exactly the room whose door you have just made visible, and disappears radiantly thanks to your discovery.

Try to open the door to room 102, but it is locked. Enter room 103 and watch the Shy Guy jump out the window. Go to the balcony and color the floor to uncover the third ghost. Take the elevator to the second floor and enter room 201. Unless you have been dabbing, you should witness a supernatural event.

Return to the hallway and enter room 203. Color the ground immediately before the birdcage that is on the table and talk to the next ghost. Then color the birdcage, whereupon you can take it with you.


Go back into the hallway and now enter room 202. Color the book that Toad holds in his hands and then hit the bed from the left to uncover a pit in the ground. Jump in, then you are in room 102, and color the floor in front of the chair. Talk to the ghost and hit the hammer on his head so that his glasses slip in front of his eyes.

Destroy the Crate and go outside. Take the elevator back to the ground floor and walk through the door to your right. If the Shy Guy has jumped through the window, he should now talk to some of his friends. Locate them and fight against the Hammer brother, who gives up after two big hammer or jump attacks. You will then receive an invisible object called “It”.

Speak briefly to the Toad standing in front of the bird feed, and you will automatically receive a bird. Return to the room with the books and give the Spirit the book from room 202. Travel by elevator to the first floor, visit the Spirit in room 103 and give him the “It”. After he disappears, you can jump on the table for fun and make the “it” visible by paint. Try to ascend to the Yoshi, but he jumps away.

Go to the second floor and give the spirit the bird in room 203.


Then you have to wait until the clock strikes at the next full hour. Meanwhile, stand outside the door of room 201 and wait until the room service comes out. Quickly enter the room and color the telephone who is wiggling behind the bed. Chat with the spirit and drive to the ground floor.

Visit the laundry chamber and pull on the bed sheet peeking out from the shelf. Fight the Shy Guys by defeating them with one or two serial jump cards and grab the fresh bedding. Immediately bring it to the spirit in room 201 and return to the ground floor. March all the way to the left into the dining room and talk to the Toad. Finally, talk to the Toad at the reception and take the purple star.

This opens the way to Plum Park.Plum Park


Once you have done everything in Plum Park, you can visit the villa again. Go into the dining room. Press the cut button, remove the image and place the teapot inside. You will then receive a new card seat and can now use three cards per move.
