Hither Thither Hill is the fourth level of World 1 in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. It is a grassy hill with a large windmill and underground complex. Completing this level unlocks Goomba Fortress.

Hither Thither Hill is one of two standard levels in the game which are not required to enter in order to complete the game, along with Whammino Mountain, though one or the other must be completed to unlock Goomba Fortress. By extension, its boss, Big Buzzy Beetle, is the only optional boss in the game.

Layout

Escorting the Toad through the underground complex.

The first section of the level has two Warp Pipes to the underground and a large windmill. The windmill's blades block the entrance to it. Mario must use Paperize to paste a Fan sticker on a stump to cause a huge whirlwind that causes the blades to move. Inside the windmill, there are four yellow blocks with numbers on them.

The next area is an enclosed garden that ends with a dead end. Many stickers are pasted behind the fence, along with another Warp Pipe to the underground.

The underground complex is infested with Buzzy Beetles. A Heart Block can be found to the left of a seemingly incomplete pipe. If Mario takes an alternate route, he is able to cross a few cave platforms to find the Green Warp Pipe scrap. This scrap can be pasted into the pink nothingness beside the Heart Block.

Mario inputting the windmill code.

Inside the enclosed garden, a bawling Toad can be found. If Mario talks to him, the Toad will request Mario to escort him back to Decalburg. The Toad must not touch any enemy, or he will run back to the garden. Mario cannot jump over the fence in the garden either, as the Toad says he cannot jump. Successfully escorting the Toad will make him reveal the windmill code - 4123 (the code is 7942 in the Korean version and 9958 in the Chinese version).

When this code is entered (whether or not Mario rescues the Toad), the windmill will reveal a pipe to the cave platforms to allow Mario to get the Pipe scrap. After returning the pipe scrap, the pipe can be entered to find an enclosed room where the Big Buzzy Beetle boss is fought. After the boss, an HP-Up Heart is earned. A pipe to the ground can then be found, which leads to a hidden garden with the Comet Piece.

Appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series

Hither Thither Hill as it appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a stage based on the Paper Mario series called Paper Mario contains different variations within the stage, one of which is Hither Thither Hill. The battle takes place in the area with the windmill, which appears in the background along with the Warp Pipe. The Fan sticker (when used in Paper Mario: Sticker Star) can also appear in the background, blowing strong winds that can have an effect on the players.

Notes

• A painting of Hither Thither Hill can be seen in the Dark Bloo Inn in Paper Mario: Color Splash.
• In Japanese, the windmill code "4123" can be read as "yo-i-ni-san." This is a goroawase number based on the phrase 「良い兄さん」 (yoi nīsan), or "nice guy."
• In the Chinese versions, the windmill code is "9958" instead of "4123" as shown in the English and Japanese versions. The hint signal is 「救救我吧」 (Jiù jiù wǒ ba, meaning "Please help me"), which is similar to the reading of "9958" (Jiǔ jiǔ wǔ bā), so the windmill code is also changed in order to match the readings.
• Likewise, the Korean version changes the windmill code to "7942", with the hint signal being "친구 사이!" (chingu sai!), which sounds phonetically similar to the Korean reading of "7942" (chil goo sah ee).
