[[Blappy]], elder of the [[Blobule]]s, spent his youth searching for the [[Pure Heart|Big Treasure of Space]]. By the time the [[Heroes of Light]] arrived on [[Planet Blobule]], the elderly alien had retired from searching for the treasure, but he had still been able to find the '''Ancient Clue''' vital to its acquisition in an obscure area identified only as "[[Whoa Zone|the space ruins]]." He was willing to sell this clue to Mario and put the search for the treasure to rest, but only so for the ludicrous price of ten thousand [[Coin]]s. (This price, however, could be lowered to one hundred and, ultimately, ten Coins if his offer was declined certain amounts of time.) In the end, the three heroes bought the Ancient Clue, and kept it in the "Important Things" secton but in the end it was used as toilet paper for [[Fleep]]. The Ancient Clue is never seen again and was presumably flushed along with the [[poop|other contents]] of the toilet.

The '''Ancient Clue''' is an [[Key item|Important Thing]] that appears in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.


The text of the Ancient Clue mentioned reversing [[Outer Space|outer space]] atop "rock man's noggin," referring to the fact that Mario and company would have to use Fleep's ability on a space rift above a rock formation resembling two faces as to earn a [[Door Key]] and move to the level's end.
==Description==
The Ancient Clue is held by [[Blappy]], the elder of the [[Blobule]]s, who had spent his youth searching for the [[Pure Heart|Big Treasure of Space]]. By the time of the game's events he had retired from searching for the treasure, though he had at least found the Ancient Clue somewhere in the [[Whoa Zone]]. When the player arrives on [[Planet Blobule]] and talk to Blappy, he explains how he came across the Ancient Clue and offers to sell it to Mario and the party for the price of one thousand [[coin]]s. Declining the offer lowers the price to 100 coins, and then to ten if the player declines again; a third refusal causes him to raise the price back up to 100 coins.

After the item is bought, the player can use it to get [[Fleep]] to exit the outhouse he is in, after which he joins Mario's party. The player must use Fleep's special ability on a space rift above a rock formation resembling two faces, which is the location hinted at in the haiku; doing so reveals the Door Key required to open the locked door found earlier in the level.
