List of Collectible Treasures in Paper Mario: The Origami King
- “Collectible Treasure? Ooh, it's cute! You should try to collect more of these, Mario. Maybe even all of them!”
- —Olivia, Paper Mario: The Origami King
In Paper Mario: The Origami King, Mario can collect treasures throughout the different streamer areas, which are miniature representations of objects and characters found throughout the game. These treasures are often held within chests and ? Blocks, and can also be rewarded to Mario after completing certain tasks or purchased from certain shopkeepers. Locating these blocks is made easier after purchasing the Treasure Alert from the Fun, Funky, and Functional vendor in Breezy Tunnel. Finding all Collectible Treasures in a given area will show a message informing the player of their success. This page lists the locations of all 120 Collectible Treasures, including pictures and information on how to obtain them.
NOTES:
- Some treasures are found in areas that are inaccessible until returning later; these entries are highlighted in beige.
