The '''Prison Key''' is an item found in [[Bowser's Castle]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' during [[Paper Mario#Chapter 8: A Star-Powered Showdown!|Chapter 8]]. It is held by the [[Koopatrol]] outside the prison.

There are two prisons in Bowser's Castle used to lock the people at [[Princess Peach]]'s party who failed to escape (excluding one which isn't locked by a Prison Key). The first one is to the east in the first center of the castle and imprisons three [[Toad (species)|Toads]] and a [[Dryite]]. The second one is to the west in the second center of the castle and imprisons three Toads and a [[Bumpty]]. When [[Mario]] sees a prison, he can optionally defeat the Koopatrol outside it and open the prison door. But if he does so, the prisoners inside will say that it is safer for them to stay there and wish Mario good luck defeating [[Bowser]]. One Toad will also make a makeshift [[Toad House]] with the slate in the prison.

If the player pick a key from a prison room, but did not open the prison door in that room and then go to another prison room, the player can open the prison door in the other prison room without defeating the Koopatrol in that room.
