Spring of Bliss

The Spring of Bliss is a location in Paper Mario: The Origami King. It is one of five hot springs offered at Shangri-Spa. It can be visited in any order corresponding with the other springs, and is required to fill out the Stamp Card. It is found northeast of the plaza. This spring is supposedly effective against folds and creases.

This spring must be visited to smooth out Bowser Jr.'s folds and creases, restoring all of Mario's HP in the process as a bonus. However, since only the hot water is running into the spring, touching the water actually takes away some of Mario's HP. Mario must find the crack toward the back and jump behind the spring to find the two pipes carrying water into the spring. Mario must defeat the Hammer Bro and fill in the Not-Bottomless Hole in the blue pipe to get cold water running back into the spring, balancing it out. Although the spring is able to fix up Bowser Jr. a bit, after a while, Kamek notices Olivia is floating upside down in the water. He takes her out and folds her back to normal. She thanks Kamek, saying she was almost smoothed out completely but is now feeling great. If Mario soaks in the spring again from this point, Olivia will wait outside the spring.

Near the spring, there is a stamp booth with a Shangri-Spa Toad. Notably, Mario can hammer behind this booth to find a pair of Legendary Boots. There is a Goomba next to the spring arranging buckets, and a Shy Guy cleaning a folding chair. There is a ladder on the right side of the spring allowing Mario to get onto the roof, where he can find a Koopa Troopa with freshly polished 100-Coins.
