Pianta Parlor



The Pianta Parlor is a place in Rogueport in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door where Mario can play mini-games for Pianta Tokens, which can be exchanged for items and badges. There are slot machines as well as four mini-games to play, and each of the mini-games uses the four different curses Mario receives from the Black Chest Demons. The slot machines are initially unlockable. However, Mario must complete certain troubles to receive cards to play the other games.

To play a slot machine, Mario must deposit one Pianta Token. The slots will then spin. If Mario matches three of a kind, he'll get more Pianta Tokens. Three Don Piantas give him three Pianta Tokens; three Stars give him seven Pianta Tokens, and three 7's gives him fifteen Pianta Tokens.

Airplane Game
The Airplane Game is where Mario flies down from a high platform and tries to get as far as possible. The farther Mario goes, the more Pianta Tokens he will win. There are also several spots to multiply the amount won.

Paper Game
The Paper Game is where Mario and a massive crowd of different species race towards a finish line. Mario is not timed, but he still needs to get in first. Large fans blow against Mario, but if he turns paper-thin, the air will just pass by. Luigi has a cameo appearance in the race.

Boat Game
The Boat Game is where Mario is in boat mode and he sails between floating barrels and whirlpools. He's timed and this game is very difficult.

Tube Game
The Tube Game is where Mario is in tube form and has to move as fast as possible around barriers and obstacles on a track with no rails. Turning is a problem and since there are no rails, it's easy to fall off and lose precious time.
