List of Paper Mario: The Origami King Glitches
Fishing storage
File:PMTOK Fishing Storage Glitch.png
Fishing storage allows the player to hold the fishing rod outside of the restriction of the docks. Due to how loading zones work, this glitch is limited to: Overlook Mountain, Shogun Studios, and Full Moon Island, as those areas have fishing spots. Despite this limitation, this glitch is very potent due to the fishing rod having collision while held by Mario, the ability to quit fishing while catching something, and the ability to return to the dock by pressing 
at any time, regardless of what actions are taking place.
Methods
There are multiple methods of initiating fishing storage, all of which involve teetering at a ledge while performing one of the following actions at the same time:
Digging with Professor Toad (see Partner duplication)
Reading the Sea Chart
Opening the Item Menu
Talking with Olivia
Effects
Mario floating across the air.
Mario relocating a Toad.
Mario clipping through the door to Big Sho' Theater.
Mario moonwalking after ending fishing storage on a ladder.
A Collectible Treasure suspended in midair.
An interrupted loading sequence, revealing how the game manipulates different assets.
Mario walking inside a loading zone.
Mario initiating a battle while using a Magic Circle.
Weapon slot manipulation
The section in memory that stores Mario's party members and the section that stores Mario's equipped weapons are only separated by 4 empty bytes. By gaining a fifth partner, partner information buffer overflows into the first slot of the equipped weapons section, which the game reinterprets as an item obtained at a certain point by Mario.
For example: if Kamek (P_KMK internally) joins as the fifth partner, "K" exceeds the 4 byte buffer and overwrites the first equipped weapon slot. This is reinterpreted as 76 when converted to a number, meaning the 76th item Mario obtained will replace his Basic Hammer. Any non-weapon equipped in this manner will not have associated attacks, so the game defaults to using a Mushroom, without consuming the item.
NOTE: This buffer overflow is what results in the game crashing or corrupting when gaining more than 4 partners.
Wrong turn number
When fighting a particular Goomba near the Sensor Lab in Picnic Road, if the player uses less than the given amount of ring moves and lets the timer run out while preparing the last move, this action carries over to Mario's next turn. Pressing will undo this action, giving one extra ring movement for that turn than intended. It is also possible for this action to solve the puzzle, however the game and Olivia will not recognize this until the player makes a move, and paying the audience will unsolve the puzzle.
When trying to flee from the Li'l Cutout Soldier battle on the stairs of Bowser's Castle mess hall, the game can give the player 1 less puzzle turn than intended. By paying the audience, Mario is left with an unfinished board and 0x moves. Finishing the layout will briefly show -1x moves.

Movable blocks
- This page is about movable blocks from various Super Mario games. For the obstacles from Super Mario Odyssey, see Push-Block.
Movable blocks appear in multiple games across the Super Mario franchise as platforms which can be moved to various locations for the purpose of reaching areas that are too high, blocking or unblocking certain areas, and other puzzle-related situations. Typically, these blocks are pushed from the side to be nudged along the ground or given momentum when struck. This contrasts with the vast majority of blocks, which either cannot be repositioned directly by a given character or require influence from a switch to be moved. Crates sometimes fill this role.
History
Mario Kart series
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario Kart features three courses with guardrail tiles that can fall off when bumped into by racers, those being: Ghost Valley 1, Ghost Valley 2, and Ghost Valley 3. Once fallen these tiles do not respawn, however leaving and returning to the track will restore the blocks.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Mario Kart: Super Circuit features two new tracks with falling blocks alongside the returning three Ghost Valley tracks, those being Boo Lake and Broken Pier. Here the wooden tiles disappear upon contact with a racer.
Mario Kart Wii
Ghost Valley 2 makes a return in Mario Kart Wii, where the tiles have been changed to full wooden blocks which tip over the sides of the road and fall instead of disappearing. They also now tip over when struck by shells, but during Time Trials they only fall naturally over the course of the race regardless of collisions.
Mario Kart Tour
While Ghost Valley 1 and Ghost Valley 2 both reappear in Mario Kart Tour, the falling wooden blocks have lost their functionality, now being smaller wooden blocks that can be safely driven into and can even support drivers who land on top. The same holds true for the wooden guard rails in RMX Ghost Valley 1.
Yoshi's Island series
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, the Yoshis have the ability to push various objects along the ground, including Chomp Rocks, vases, and crates. There are also translucent platforms known as squishy blocks, which can be pushed left or right by Yoshi. Unlike other movable blocks, these compress when pushed against a wall, essentially raising the height of the platform. Conversely, ground pounding one results in the block flattening down and expanding outwards.
Yoshi's Story
Yoshi's Story features Mystery Crates, which can be pushed or opened to reveal a hidden item. In some levels this serves a purpose in puzzles, for example: Jungle Puddle has a set of 3 Mystery Crates, and getting a melon from each requires ground pounding the crate in the middle, then pushing the remaining two crates together. Crates containing Air Bags cannot be pushed. Torrential Maze also hides many melons in Mystery Crates that must be pushed either into each other or into water.
Yoshi's Island DS
Yoshi retains his ability to push against objects. Additionally Yoshi's Island DS features Magnet Blocks, which are typically moved by facing away so they are pulled towards Baby Wario's magnet. However, it is also possible to simply push against them as Yoshi.
Super Mario series
Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS
In Super Mario 64 and the DS remake, metal crates[1] are large unbreakable blocks which can be pushed either to serve as platforms for reaching high-up objects, or to access secrets. A total of four appear throughout the levels: Three in Wet-Dry World and one at the beginning of Bowser in the Sky. A group of three metal crates are also found in an object test map of Super Mario 64 DS, where it is possible to break them using a Mushroom power-up.
Super Mario Odyssey
In Super Mario Odyssey, Mario is able to capture many enemies, characters, and otherwise inanimate objects with the help of Cappy. This includes Ty-foos capable of blowing strong gusts of wind to move wooden blocks found along icy tracks in Snow Kingdom, Uproots which can extend their legs to push Movable covers up and out of the way, and Puzzle Parts which move around a grid, as these are otherwise too large for Mario to push.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Within the Super Mario Bros Wonder level, Secrets of Shova Mansion, there are various large blocks with wheels positioned at the bottom corners. These can be slowly pushed left or right by the player or by Shovas. The rolling blocks can be used as platforms, or moved to unblock passages or reveal obscured elements. Later in the course during the Wonder Flower segment, such blocks and even large stone walls can be pushed across the ground, despite the lack of wheels. The size of the blocks pushed and any objects on top of them do not impact the speed at which they are pushed, however attempting to oppose a Shova's push or push multiple stone columns at once will slow down the player. Holding or using an Elephant Fruit will increase the speed at which the blocks are pushed.
Other objects including some pipes can also be pushed. A later level, Where the Rrrumbas Rule, features tall Topple Rocks which when pushed cause a domino reaction. These shatter shortly after landing on the ground, breaking Brick Blocks on the way down. Although Rrrumbas can tip these stones over, the Rrrumba wonder form insteads destroys the Topple Rocks on contact.
Paper Mario series
Paper Mario
Blue, movable blocks can be found throughout various areas of Paper Mario. They align on square grids and are typically involved with puzzles, i.e. to cover water spouts in Jade Jungle or access high-up objects and ledges. There are also Albino Dino statues at the end of the Crystal Palace, which can only be pushed in the direction that the figures are facing. This can be influenced by spinning the respective Albino Dinos on the other side of the room, which mirror the position and orientation of the statues. Finally, there are grandfather clocks and large stone slabs in Tubba Blubba's Castle and Bowser's Castle respectively, which can be pushed to slide them across the ground and access openings in the walls behind them.
Super Paper Mario
In Super Paper Mario, two large stone blocks appear along the passage beneath the River Twygz. These function similarly to metal crates in Super Mario 64, sliding across the ground when pushed, however they are able to be pushed off ledges. These stones can be dropped to positions that help with navigating the area after using levers to control the water level. If the area is returned to after leaving, the positions of both blocks will be retained.
Wario World
Wario World features Arrow Blocks, metallic boxes which can be struck in either the four cardinal directions denoted by the arrows, or downwards using a ground-pound. These are often involved in the puzzles of trapdoor levels. An Arrow Block will only stop sliding once it hits a wall or by transferring its momentum to a diferrent Arrow Block.
Mario & Luigi series
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. Spin Blocks in Gwarhar Lagoon.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey
In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its 3DS remake, Mario and Luigi gain access to the Airway within Bowser's body following his battle against Blizzard Midbus. As Bowser inhales ice off Blizzard Midbus' breath, water and wet surfaces can be frozen or melted to navigate the area. When the ground is frozen, Bone Thwomps can be pushed across the ground to reach higher areas, while blocks of ice will slide until hitting a wall when nudged.
Liftoglobin are blocks of which can also be moved, this time via the stylus.
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Mario can push frozen blocks. Also can push crates affected by the Luiginoid Tornado. The Luiginary Propeller can aide Mario in pushing larger boxes and blocks.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
Trio Drill puzzle in Mystery of Mount Brrr.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership
In Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Ice block puzzle in Compac Islet.
Super Princess Peach
Levels 6-4 and 6-5 of Gleam Glacier within Super Princess Peach feature pink blocks which at first don't appear to react when struck. However, using the Gloom Vibe nearby causes Princess Peach's tears to solidify across the floor due to the frigid temperature. Doing so will cause the block to shimmer with white circles fading in and out of the side, which will now slide across ice when hit and shatter icy blocks in its path.
Wario: Master of Disguise
A Flower That's Drunk Up Power!. Wario can push crates, Blue and Red blocks.
Wario Land: Shake It!
During the events of Wario Land: Shake It! Wario visits Slipshod Slopes. Here, ice cubes will slide across the ground when struck by Wario's Dash Attack, transferring their momentum when colliding with other ice cubes. This behavior is similar to the Arrow Blocks from Wario World. These icy blocks are used again in Freezing Fields, being involved in puzzles and navigating the area.
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)
The Nintendo DS release of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games contains a minigame called Move the Blocks!. In this boxed area, Blaze must melt blocks of ice so that she can push blocks with symbols of villainous characters to their respective floor panels. Pressing the button in the middle resets the states of the entire board. Once all blocks are pushed to the right position,
Mario Sports Mix
In the Smash Skate gamemode of Mario Sports Mix, players accumulate points by knocking one another off. One of the locations that can be played on is called Sherbet Sea, where the main platform is a large ice sheet, with blocks of ice raining down onto the field. These ice blocks can be moved slowly when skated into, or smacked into any cardinal direction which can knock away players in its path. Additionally, the icy platform will tilt at certain points, which causes the ice blocks to slide off.
Mario + Rabbids series
In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, the controllable ally Beep-0 learns the Move ability after completing the Ancient Gardens. This ability allows him to press 
next to certain blocks to shove them aside to fill in gaps, open a path, or keep buttons pressed down. Players regain the ability to push blocks in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, instead holding to push or pull blocks with more control via the rope handles on their sides. This is essential in multiple Quests.
Beep-0 can also perform the Wave Power with the help of Decibel. This ability sends out sonar waves by tapping 
, which can knock over or move large stone slabs featuring Cursya's symbol, though this is a triggered reaction rather than directly pushing objects.

Glowing Spot

 Screenshot from Super Mario 3D World | |||
| First appearance | Super Mario 3D World (2013) | ||
| Latest appearance | Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (2021) | ||
| |||
Glowing spots[3][4][5] are objects in the 3D Super Mario titles. They are glowing beams of light that dispenses an item when ground-pounded. Approaching them causes a rumble in the player's controller.
History
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
Glowing spots first appear in Super Mario 3D World and can be ground-pounded to reveal items. Glowing spots return in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, serving the same purpose; in addition, glowing spots can be found on the tops of lighthouses in the Bowser's Fury campaign.
Super Mario Odyssey
Glowing spots appear in Super Mario Odyssey in most of the kingdoms as beams of light on the ground. When glowing spots are ground-pounded, various objects can appear, such as Power Moons, Mini Goombas, or a ring of coins.
In the Sand Kingdom, Seaside Kingdom, Metro Kingdom, Moon Kingdom, and Mushroom Kingdom, a dog appears, and it can dig in certain places to reveal glowing spots; ground-pounding on them yields either coins or Power Moons.
Paper Mario: The Origami King
Shining spots in Paper Mario: The Origami King are found throughout the Scorching Sandpaper Desert. These glowing rings of light mark patches of sand or soil where coins, items, and Collectible Treasures are buried. The contents of these shining spots can only be revealed using Professor Toad's shovel via the 
button.

Paper Mario: The Origami King information
Text copied from talk page: Just like holes, each one is assigned a different item set (one of 22), usually generating a random amount of coins. Some of them have potential to drop rare weapons, such as Gold Boots and Gold Hammers. The holes are in DigPoint.elf.zst for each area, and their sets are found in data_item_set.elf.zst under FLD_DIG_DESERT.
I went ahead and grouped the ones of a similar type, but I need to confirm which ones are actually marked with a shining spot, the ones labeled in the bottom section I couldn't find in any DigPoint.elf files:

The cubemap for the Toad Town shop reveals a slightly different carpet design, where the cap of the mushrooms is separated from the rest of the shape and there are no cutouts for the pupils. This shape shares more similarities to the older design for mushrooms seen in Super Paper Mario and earlier entries to the Paper Mario series.
