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: blue, blue, and blue. Despite this limit, 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:

Digging with Professor Toad First method discovered.

Reading the Sea Chart

Item Menu

Talking with Oliva

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 the 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.

Item Drops
In Paper Mario: The Origami King, item drops are determined by an enemies assigned item drop set, a group of items that chosen at random to be dropped. There are 5* sets used in the game:

In Paper Mario: The Origami King, Mario can find &s throughout the different Streamer areas, receiving various rewards when struck open.

Heart Point


"HP" is a term used in numerous role-playing games, including those related to the Mario franchise, as well as the Luigi's Mansion series. It stands for "Heart Points," "Health Points," or "Hit Points," depending on the game using it. It means just as its name suggests; they are points used for health in the RPGs. It can be filled using health items such as Mushrooms, as well as Recovery Blocks (from the Paper Mario series; the Japanese version of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and all versions of its 3DS remake; Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time; and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam). Mario can also restore his HP from small hearts that can be found hidden, or by defeating enemies in the Paper Mario series.

If Mario's or any other playable character's HP reaches zero, they will be downed. If the last party member (or just Mario, in the first two Paper Mario games) is downed, the player will receive a Game Over unless they have a Life Shroom (or any other type of life-restorative) in stock. To decrease the chance of this happening, Mario and the other playable characters can choose to increase their maximum HP when leveling up in most games.

In Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Mario's maximum HP can be increased by obtaining HP-Up Hearts in the game, which increases his maximum HP by five. In Paper Mario: Color Splash, his maximum HP can be increased by 25 if he collects a Big Paint Star. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, the Woohoo Blend, which is made at the Starbeans Cafe, can increase the max number of HP a character has by four/two points. In the Mario & Luigi series following Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the player can use Heart Beans to increase a character's max HP by one point or three points in the case of Heart Bean DXs.

In Super Paper Mario, some enemies' HP, such as Mr. I's, is listed as "??" which means that the enemy is always defeated with either a set number of attacks or a special maneuver regardless. It is usually impossible to damage these enemies in the conventional way. In a somewhat similar manner, certain Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars enemies (such as Dry Bones) are stated by Mallow's Psychopath ability to have zero HP, although this really means that they are immune to all attacks but Magic ones, which will destroy them in one hit.

In Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition, each teammate's HP on the player's team is totaled for their health bar when playing a course. For this reason, individual teammates cannot be KO'd, but the entire team can if their total HP goes to zero. Clearing Heart Orbs or using HP-recovering Skills replenishes the player's team's health bar. Several teammates have the Awoken Skill Health Boost to raise the player's team's maximum HP upon entering a course, as do several Leader and Helper Skills. The player can also raise a teammate's maximum HP by de-powering teammates that provide HP plus bonuses, each plus bonus increasing HP by ten.

In the Super Smash Bros. series, Master Hand and Crazy Hand appear with HP instead of percent digits. Additionally, Super Smash Bros. Melee and subsequent games allow the players to choose to substitute HP instead of percent digits in Stamina Mode.

In Paper Mario: The Origami King, Hole Punch is the only boss in the game that can lower Mario's maximum HP. If Mario's HP is lowered, he will have a hole in his body. In order to bring the maximum HP back to normal, the player must find the piece missing from Mario's body. Additionally, the Oarsman's boat and Bowser's Airship can sustain 5 hits before being wrecked, rather than using Mario's HP.
