Port Prisma's colorless spots have been colored in
Mario has repainted all the colorless spots in Port Prisma
“Colorless objects won't work right until you restore their color, so don't be stingy with that paint hammer!”
Huey, Paper Mario: Color Splash

Colorless spots are areas in Paper Mario: Color Splash that have been deprived of color, mainly caused by Slurp Guys. Almost every level has colorless spots that Mario can fill in with his Paint Hammer. There are 929 in total (930 if the Princess Peach one in Black Bowser's Castle is counted too, even though game does not take it into account (for the sake of the list, it will be also included)). The percentage of colorless spots that have been painted in a level can be seen on the map, and if Mario paints every spot in a level, it gains a gold flag next to its level marker and its record becomes available in the Prisma Museum. A Super Flag is awarded for repainting every colorless spot. Their role is replaced by Not-Bottomless Holes in Paper Mario: The Origami King.

The Shy Bandit appears on the map randomly, and can suck all the color out of a level, besides colorless spots on Toads and spots that are painted in by the Big Paint Stars. If Mario does not catch the Shy Bandit in time, that level's colorless spots must be painted in again.

NOTES:

  • Colorless spots with multiple colors can consume different paint depending on where the Paint Hammer strikes; these entries are marked with multiple paint blobs.
  • Some colorless spots are inaccessible until returning later; these entries are highlighted in beige.
  • None of the Roshambo Temples have any colorless spots.
  • There are also 19 places that use paint, but they're different enough to not be considered Colorless Spots. This section can be found between Black Bowser's Castle and Statistics sections.
  • There are four types of drops:
    • Coins: Found in almost every Colorless Spots but their amount is random.
    • Globs of Paint: Found in only a few Colorless Spots, with their amount also random.
    • Battle Cards: Found in the most Colorless Spots. Each Colorless Spot that has a card has a specific card that drops from it every time, with multiple exceptions, where there are multiple cards picked from a specific group (will be specifed in the specific drop).
    • Hearts: Found only if Mario has low HP.

Port PrismaEdit

There are a total of 80 Colorless spots to fill in Port Prisma:

  • 64 from environment
  • 16 from Toads
