Redpepper Crater

Paper Mario: Color Splash guide hub

Right at the beginning of the level, you will come across a pimple-buzzy Beetle, a question mark block and a toad. He tells you about a large ice block in the Tangerino Charcoal Charcoal Grill, which blocks the large refrigerator in the kitchen. Then jump onto the platform as soon as it descends and jump onto the adjacent platform as soon as it is within your reach. Another pimple buzzy beetle and question mark pad later, you will be on the next platform as soon as it is at your height. Jump to the right as it descends and be hoisted up from the next platform.

March along the path and stand on the following platform. Stop and wait until it moves down. Enter the niche to your left and take the first color star of the level. Repeat it immediately, return to the platform of just now and gradually collect all the coins that you see on your right. Jump to Dry Bones, flatten it and grab the card in the question mark pad. Wait for the platform to rise out of the lava, and quickly jump on it to reach the end of the area.

Fight the Piranha Plant and plunder the question mark block. Shortly afterwards you come across a second plant, which you simply circulate and behind which you flee to the downward platform. Go quickly into the secrets that are beneath the plant and drive back upstairs. March back and take care of two more plants. If you don’t feel like fighting them, let them shoot you and run past them as long as you blink.

Talk to the snifit and wait until all platforms move forward except the third. Run to the second platform and quickly jump to the third as soon as it appears. Wait until she disappears into the wall again, and return to the second platform. Wait again until the third platform appears again and spurts all the way to the right on the other side.

Follow the path, remove the tape and jump backwards quickly before the platform in the wall disappears to your left. Skip past the pickle buzzy Beetle and jump to the next platform as soon as it is within your reach. Pay attention to the fireballs that a Koopa clan clan clan fires at you from the right, and keep yourselves as left as possible to avoid them.

March back, take care of the pimple buzzy beetle to your right and collect the heart. Go to the next platform, remove the stain on the wall and return to the platform that has disappeared in the wall to your left. Let her transport you to the right and attack the Piranha Plant. Go to the question mark block, loot it and wait until a platform rushes to you from further back. Jump on them and march to the spike block at the rear right.

Enter the area to your right and take care of the Koopa clan clan clan standing on an elevated platform. Then color all the stains on the floor and walls you see. You will get some very useful cards this way, including a large Ice Flower. On the far right, you also encounter a few bombs that you better not attack. Approach them carefully if they turn their backs on you and flee immediately. Repeat this until the fireballs of the Koopas, which is at the far right, light the bombs and explode.

Color the remaining stains and go to the colorful door to complete a mini-game. Save again and then stand in the middle of the area, so that you stand in front of the three lava falls. Wait until they all spit lava at the same time and press the cut button. Remove the background, run to the flag and run quickly to the exit to your right before the Koopa clan clan clan grills you with its fireballs.


Stand on the back platform and wait until a big lava blub attacks you. In battle, use all the ice flowers you have collected, and finally, trust in the power of your iron boots. If you get the timing, you should do the Lava Blub in three moves.

Target the curtain further back and talk to the Toads bathing in the lake on your right. The right of them turns out to be another red savior-toad. Get out of the lake and squeeze the hair dryer to recruit the next rescuer-toad. Jump back into the lake and march to your left through the hidden exit behind the waterfall.

Talk to both the snifits in the water and those on land and go all the way to the left. Talk to the boo on your right and collect the orange star. This will take you to the Sunset Express.Sunset Express

Second colour star

Start the level again and move to the right. You should hear that seem from a color star once you’re on the sinking platforms. Stand on the first and sink down with this one. On the left is a hidden cave with another color star. This opens another path to Vortex Island.Vortex Island
