| The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) description | A card key that helps open a door in the X-Naut Fortress. |
The Security Key, originally known as the Card Key, is an item found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where it is used to access certain areas in the X-Naut Fortress on the moon. The Grodus room to the right of Sublevel Two has a green Security Key on the computer table. The electrical-floor room to the left of Sublevel Two guards a pink Security Key. The electrical-floor room to the left of Sublevel Three guards a yellow Security Key. They are necessary to open the door to the factory room to the right of Sublevel Three, in the order of pink, yellow and green from left to right (although this order is never mentioned in-game). The factory also contains a blue Security Key to allow the player access to the boss Magnus von Grapple 2.0.
In the remake, the cards are distinguished by symbol: blue has a club, pink has a diamond, green has a heart, yellow has a spade, and a new purple star-symbol card has been added. Four Security Keys are now required to access the factory. As a result, the blue Security Key is now found in the restroom of Sublevel Four, and the player must defeat a lone Elite X-Naut to obtain it. The new purple Security Key therefore replaces the blue Security Key in the factory.
