The Tile Pool

The Tile Pool is a large body of water found in The Bitlands in Super Paper Mario. It is the setting of Chapter 3-2 of the game. Its name a pun of the words "tile" (due to the pixelated theme of the world) and "tide pool", a small accumulation of water found on beaches after a tide comes in.

Chapter 3-2: Bloops Ahoy
Storyline text With Bowser in the party, the three heroes made a most unlikely trio.

Peach attempted to explain the quest to Bowser, but it made him grunt in confusion.

As Mario walked ahead, he spotted something that made him briefly stop and stare...

''"What is it, Mario?" asked Peach, as she turned to see the blue expanse head.''

The great, glittering waves of the Tile Pool stretched as far as she could see.

Fort Francis was somewhere across the water... Mario and co. reach the Tile Pool on their quest to save Tippi from Francis. After traversing a part of it, they come upon a Pixl, Thudley, who joins them soon after. The group continues on, solving some puzzles with the help of Thudley in the process until they reach Big Blooper, who has to be fought in order to proceed. Once defeating the Big Blooper, Mario and co. continue on to The Dotwood Tree.

Mario and Luigi have to chase Dimentio through this area much later on in the game after encountering him in Castle Bleck Interior.
