Guard Door



Guard Doors are huge stone faces of Bowser that act as gates in Paper Mario. In three areas of Bowser's Castle a Guard Door can be found, they'll need to have something be done before they let Mario pass. If Mario completes the objective the gate will split in half and open.

The first one Mario comes into contact with will open a trap door, sending Mario to a jail cell, after Mario escapes the gate lets him in. The second will quiz Mario five times on various enemies, however, if Mario's wrong three times he'll have to fight three Anti Guys. The third and final is a battle with the new and improved Koopa Bros., who get knocked away by the improved Jr. Troopa, whom Mario will have to fight. The third Guard Door is the exit from Bowser's Castle, leading to Peach's Castle.
