The Crimson Tower

The Crimson Tower is a location from Paper Mario: Color Splash. The path leading here is unlocked after getting the Red Mini Paint Star in Cherry Lake, and when the Red Big Paint Star in here is rescued, it will color the gate at Sunglow Ridge. Morton is the boss of this area. The Cat-o-Luck Thing can also be found here.

Layout
First, Mario needs to bring together the three Chosen Toads found in Cherry Lake, Bloo Bay Beach and Daffodil Peak in order to open the gate. Then, Mario and Huey find out that the whole area's color, including part of the sky, has been drained, with Huey stating that he might get sick. He then spots a giant bucket filled with the stolen red paint, which is carried by an airship delivering the paint to Bowser's Castle. Before long, however, the airship comes to a sudden halt. A Shy Guy aboard the ship notices that nobody had loosened the anchor before liftoff, and asks Mario to do it for them. When Mario peeled the Bowser tape off of the anchor, however, he was accidentally carried along by the anchor when flight continued. Mario then battled the Shy Guys and their captain aboard. After the battle though, the airship became unbalanced (since Mario defeated the captain as well). While Huey tries to hold the steering wheel in place, Mario quickly hammers a blaring self-destruct button, prompting the airship to explode in a countdown of five seconds. After the explosion, the bucket will fall and repaint The Crimson Tower. A enormous bridge also rolls out from the tower to the solid ground, allowing Mario and Huey (who somehow survived) to enter the tower.

Along the tower, Mario finds different enemies, treadmills and puzzles. He must climb to the top of it. The final part of the tower features some stairs and Goomba Accordions.

When Mario arrives to the top of the tower, he finds Morton Koopa Jr. and fights him. During the battle, Morton asks two Shy Guys to bring a pedestal where he stays until Mario defeats the two Shy Guys and breaks it with a hammer. Eventually, he will fire his hammer, and the Fire Extinguisher Thing card will be required to extinguish the fire. After defeating Morton, Mario can pick the Cat-o-Luck Thing and get the Red Big Paint Star. As Mario and Huey fly back to Port Prisma via the Big Paint Star, it recolors the red gate of Sunglow Ridge, allowing the duo to advance.
