Paper Mario guide hub

Climbing attempts on the Mt. Rugged

Am Mt. Rugged, you will find an egg in a bush. This will be useful later on. Now climb the way up and fill up your energy if necessary. If you follow the path, you run into Parakarry. A postman who lost three letters on the way and now asks for your help. So do him that favor. In the next section, you will first find a Sleepy Sheep below and a few Montys that you should defeat for training. Go one more section to the right and save the game once. Follow the path and you will see the first letter on a rock. With Kooper you can collect it. There are still two missing. In the next section you go up the mountain and then to the left. Use the slide and you land on the other side. Here, too, you follow the path and you can already see the second letter. In the trampoline you see two holes in the wall beforehand. Go into one of the holes and then to the left. You use a secret entrance and finally end up at a chest where the Badges Damage Dodge is waiting for you.

The Last Two Letters

Now you can jump up with the trampoline. Before you use the slide again, should you take the honey syrup out of the? Get the block. Once on the other side, you can collect the second letter. Now go back to where you could either go left or right. This time, choose the right path. You come to a place where the bridge is destroyed. So jump down into the gap. There you will find next to a cleft also the last letter.

Training in the mountains

Now deliver all three letters to Parakarry and he will join your team. With him by your side, you can fly for a short moment. Use this ability where the first letter was. So you can overcome the two gorges and collect the Badges Quake Hammer. This way you can more easily defeat the Kirks. Train now until you reach another level-up and then increase your surgery. Now go one section further to the right. This time, however, do not go up the mountain, but use the path next to it. Fly over the gorge and talk to the Knospi to get another magic seed.

Treasures on the Cliff

Now go up the mountain and along the left. Jump through the second pit in the mountain and you land on a lead on which lies a fragment of stars. Remember where you found the second letter, at the trampoline. Go back there and fly with Parakarry on the trampoline across the gorge. On the other hand, in a coin circle you will find another star splitter. Now save the game, in this section you can still find Whacka below. Hit him with the hammer to get a whicka kick.

Buzzar the Stupid Bird

Now you really have everything on the Mt. Rugged done and can go to the place where the third letter was. Fly with Parakarry over the gorge and cross the bridge. At the end, Buzzar comes by and asks you for your name. If you answer with Mario or Princess Peach, a fight awaits you. If you say that you are Luigi, you can pass. Fight best against Buzzar, because he is an easy opponent. After a few laps with the power jumper, he is defeated and you have 15 star points more in the account. Now follow the path down and charge your energy and save the game.
