It is lined by many pillars adorned with Chomp Statues, and holds the sarcophagi of many [[Pokey Mummy|Pokey Mummies]]. According to a [[Dryite]] in [[Dry Dry Outpost]], Dry Dry Ruins is apparently the remnants of [[King Mousta]]'s destroyed [[Dry Dry Kingdom|kingdom]]. | ||

==History== | |||
Dry Dry Ruins is first mentioned when [[Princess Peach]] and [[Twink]] read [[Bowser's Diary]] at the end of Chapter 1. The diary states that it is where a [[Star Spirit]] is being held, and it can be found in [[Dry Dry Desert]] after solving a mystery. Upon reading this, Princess Peach asks Twink to find [[Mario]] and tell him the information, which Mario receives when he comes back to [[Toad Town]] after clearing Chapter 1. | |||

Mario and his partners encounter Dry Dry Desert in Chapter 2. There, they find that [[Kolorado]] is also exploring the desert in order to find Dry Dry Ruins. His assistants explain that they have tried to gather information from the [[Dry Dry Outpost|outpost]] to the east, but without success. After Mario goes there and solves the riddle, he is allowed to see the local leader, [[Moustafa]], who explains that his ancestors have watched the ruins over generations to keep the evil folks out of it. Since he trusts Mario, he gives Mario the [[Pulse Stone]], which will guide Mario to the ruins. After Mario places the Pulse Stone in a stone pedestal in Dry Dry Desert, Dry Dry Ruins rises out of the sand before him. | |||
As Mario and his partners progress through Dry Dry Ruins, they will receive several warnings from [[Tutankoopa]]. They have to collect [[Ruins Key]]s on their way in order to unlock several doors. When they reach a room with rotatable stairways, Tutankoopa seems frightened, but continues frightening them. After they solve the puzzle with the stairways, they find the [[Super Hammer]], which allows them to smash [[Stone Block]]s to collect the [[Pyramid Stone|Pyramid]], [[Diamond Stone|Diamond]], and [[Lunar Stone]]. There are pedestals in a corridor down the ruins. After Mario places the stones in the pedestals in the right order, stairs descend, opening the room to Tutankoopa's room. After defeating Tutankoopa, Mario and his partners save the second [[Star Spirit]] in the game, [[Mamar]]. This marks the end of Chapter 2 of the game. | |||

If Mario visits Moustafa after Chapter 2, Moustafa will inquire Mario about Dry Dry Ruins. He is first shocked at the revelation that [[Bowser]]'s minions have once been in the ruins, and then grateful for Mario for having gotten rid of them. Later in the game, he [[List of letters in Paper Mario#Moustafa|writes to Mario]], saying that it comforts him to know that Bowser's creatures no longer loot in the ruins, though it is a shame that some relics are missing. He also mentions a suspicious [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]], which probably refers to Kolorado. [[Kolorado]] also sends Mario a [[List of letters in Paper Mario#Kolorado|letter]], saying that he has just finished his exhausting research of the ruins, but has not found any treasure as valuable as he has hoped. However, there is an [[Artifact]] in the ruins that meets his satisfaction. If Mario brings it to him, he will give Mario a [[Star Piece (Paper Mario)|Star Piece]] as thanks. | |||
At the beginning of Chapter 3, [[Toad Town News]] reports that the ancient ruins have been discovered by Kolorado, and Mario may have played a key role. There is also a piece of advertisement for the "Exploration Tour of Dry Dry Ruins" offered by [[Toad Town Tours]]. In one of the [[Radio Contest Toad|Trading Events]] that can be heard from the radio in [[Koopa Village]], the Toad sponsor will appear in front of Dry Dry Ruins, waiting for participants to bring him a [[Nutty Cake]].{{br}} | |||
==Areas== | |||
Dry Dry Ruins is located in the third area (from left to right), or the fifth area (from right to left), on the north side of [[Dry Dry Desert]]. After the [[Pulse Stone]] is placed on the stone pedestal at the center of the area, it rise out of the sands along with a [[Heart Block]] to the left of it. Dry Dry Ruins looks like a temple, with stairs in the front of it leading to the inside. | |||
In the second room from the entrance, there are three sarcophagi of [[Pokey Mummy|Pokey Mummies]]. The second contains a [[Spike Shield]] badge. | |||
To the right is the first hub room, with a [[Ruins Key]] to the upper-right and the [[Pyramid Stone]] to the lower-right, the latter of which requires the Super Hammer to get. To proceed further, Mario needs to use the Ruins Key on the lowest door on the left side. | |||
The next room is a long one, containing the [[Artifact]]. Defeating all the enemies in the room opens the door to the left. | |||
Going all the way left leads Mario to a new hub room, with the Super Hammer room to the upper-left. Mario needs to solve the stairway puzzle to get the [[Super Hammer]]. He can also fall on the ledge to find the [[Slow Go]] badge. | |||
The two-floor hub room also has two doors on the first floor. They both lead to an even lower area, with the [[Diamond Stone]] room in the left and the [[Lunar Stone]] room in the right. There is also a [[Super Block (object)|Super Block]] and a trampoline to get back. After getting all the three stones (all of which involves breaking a [[Stone Block]] and battling two Stone Chomps), Mario needs to place them in a corridor with Chomp statues. This unlocks the stairs to Tutankoopa's room, with a [[Heart Block]] and a [[Save Block]] on the way. | |||
