  • This page contains a fully-written text walkthrough for the 2007 Platformer/RPG Super Paper Mario. The game was developed by Intelligent Systems in the tradition of the Paper Mario series exclusively for the Nintendo Wii. Below the main text walkthrough we have included links to other walkthroughs, faqs and videos. Use the table of contents to jump to a particular section

  • Introduction

    1. Secrets that will help you beat the game faster
    2. Locations of the mandatory Pixls (Mario's "helpers" that give him special powers)
    3. Easy to read, thorough strategies for each level
    4. Key tips to make the game a more fun experience
    • The walkthrough follows the path of the main storyline, providing the fastest way to beat each level. Feel free to explore the levels further to find goodies that could make the game even easier. Spoilers have been eliminated as much as possible, but they sometimes rear their heads when absolutely necessary.

  • Tips and Controls

    1. All of the controls for the game can be brought up by simply pressing the minus (-) button. This is the quickest way to view all of the controls.
    2. To pause, press the plus (+) button.
    3. If you get stuck, flipping normally helps you get out of a bind. Press A with Mario to flip.
    4. If flipping doesn't help you out, weigh your options and test Pixls that could help the situation. Use Pixls with the 1-button.
    5. If there's ever a huge gap between your current spot and your destination, Princess Peach's umbrella will normally get you across without any problems. Holding the 2-button to jump causes Peach to whip out her handy parasol when necessary.
    6. Bowser's double damage is very handy, especially in boss fights. A key combo is pairing Bowser with Thudley. Since they both do double damage, the combination of the two allows you to do quadruple damage.
    7. Additionally, Bowser's fire breath (activated by holding down on the d-pad) is a good way to keep your distance while doing double damage. Using Carrie, Bowser can breathe fire while jumping.
    8. Luigi's super jump is a great way to eliminate enemies from below. Luigi's unique ability also helps in getting over obstacles that flipping can't get you around.
    9. There are always several ways to do things in this game. If you find a quicker or better method than the one listed for a given moment, feel free to improvise and do your own thing if it works.
