When Mario arrives, a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] informs him about the big festival going on, Oceanfest. After exploring the outskirts of the beach, someone will announce that Oceanfest is starting, so Mario is let into the path there. When he gets there, he gets involved in the events that are going on. First, Mario has to play "Toad-and-Go Seek" with the festival's quintuplet of supporting hosts, The [[Five Fun Guys]]. After Mario beats the first game, he participates in the second game, "Toad Shuffle". Mario has to pick the Fun Guy with the [[Blissful Beach Key|key]] to Blissful Beach. However, the game is a scam. The Toads will always move the key around. Even when Mario paints the correct Toad's head, the key is still in another Toad's possession. If Mario did paint the correct Toad's head, then [[Huey]] will point out that it is obvious that Mario picked the right one. The host will confess, and provide the key. Before getting the yellow [[Mini Paint Star]], Mario has to recruit one of the Purple Rescue Squad Toads on a secluded island to the side.
Oceanfest begins, and by going south, Mario enters an area with many [[Cheep Cheep]]s jumping out of the water. When Mario arrives at Oceanfest, he can go behind the cafe to find [[Luigi]] in the shower, and use [[Cutout]] for a coin bonus. He must participate in the [[Toad and Go Seek]] game and find the [[Five Fun Guys]]. They are located behind the cafe barista, in a tree, buried in the sand, in a shell, and in a lump of sand. Once all Five Fun Guys have been found, Mario can play [[Toad Shuffle]], in which a [[Blissful Beach Key|key]] is given to one of the five. Mario must use his [[Paint Hammer]] and paint the Toad with the key, making them easier to keep track of. However, Mario's guess is still incorrect, and [[Huey]] calls out the Toad organizing the event, who apologizes and gives Mario the key.


The next time Mario goes to Bloo Bay Beach, many of the Toads there are worried because a [[Chosen Toads#Unnamed Chosen Toad|Blue Toad]] is stranded in the middle of the ocean on a broken boat. After Mario uses the Fan [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)#Thing Cards|Thing]], it blows the water on the Toad. However, he comes up on a wooden plank and surfs his way back. On the way, it is revealed that he has the key-shaped horn on his head, common to all of the Chosen Toads. After the waves are about to swallow Mario, the Blue Toad freezes them in their tracks. He then goes to wait at [[The Crimson Tower]].
Mario is allowed access to [[Blissful Beach]]. He and Huey can relax on two beach chairs while the Five Fun Guys dance, restoring Mario's HP. Mario then must hop across beach umbrellas to reach the yellow [[Mini Paint Star]]. Before getting it, he can use [[Cutout]] to go even further to the right, and recruit the third Toad of the [[Rescue V|purple Rescue Squad]]. Collecting the Mini Paint Star grants access to [[Sunglow Ridge]].


[[Luigi]] can be found in the outhouse behind the café, with Huey wondering if he was a green cosplayer.
When Mario returns to Bloo Bay Beach, he finds that the blue Toad has been shipwrecked. He can use Cutout on a nearby rock and insert the Fan Thing, which creates a large wave. The Toad's ship is sunk and he starts surfing using a single plank of wood, making it back to shore. He decides to be a "surfing legend" until the wave approaches, and he uses his powers to freeze it. The Toad then wonders what to do with his powers. If Mario has previously visited [[The Crimson Tower]], he can tell the Toad about the gateway, and he will leave Bloo Bay Beach and go to the tower.

Bloo Bay Beach is a location from Paper Mario: Color Splash. The path leading here is unlocked after getting the blue Mini Paint Star from either Cherry Lake or Indigo Underground, and completing it unlocks a path to Sunglow Ridge. Collecting the blue Mini Paint Star in Plum Park also leads to this level, but since it cannot be accessed without having completed Bloo Bay Beach, this path's only purpose is to serve as a shortcut on the world map.

Layout

After entering Bloo Bay Beach, a Toad tells Mario about Oceanfest. Huey is surprised that the Toads are partying when the Big Paint Stars are missing, and tells Mario to look for the Mini Paint Star. Mario can then explore the outskirts of the beach, which has many Koopa Troopas. Inside a cave, a Toad is looking for a secret pirate treasure, which Mario can reveal by hammering a vine and pulling on it. Exiting the cave, Huey admires the view. Mario can also talk to a blue Toad in a boat who is preparing to sail to the edge of the world.

Oceanfest begins, and by going south, Mario enters an area with many Cheep Cheeps jumping out of the water. When Mario arrives at Oceanfest, he can go behind the cafe to find Luigi in the shower, and use Cutout for a coin bonus. He must participate in the Toad and Go Seek game and find the Five Fun Guys. They are located behind the cafe barista, in a tree, buried in the sand, in a shell, and in a lump of sand. Once all Five Fun Guys have been found, Mario can play Toad Shuffle, in which a key is given to one of the five. Mario must use his Paint Hammer and paint the Toad with the key, making them easier to keep track of. However, Mario's guess is still incorrect, and Huey calls out the Toad organizing the event, who apologizes and gives Mario the key.

Mario is allowed access to Blissful Beach. He and Huey can relax on two beach chairs while the Five Fun Guys dance, restoring Mario's HP. Mario then must hop across beach umbrellas to reach the yellow Mini Paint Star. Before getting it, he can use Cutout to go even further to the right, and recruit the third Toad of the purple Rescue Squad. Collecting the Mini Paint Star grants access to Sunglow Ridge.

When Mario returns to Bloo Bay Beach, he finds that the blue Toad has been shipwrecked. He can use Cutout on a nearby rock and insert the Fan Thing, which creates a large wave. The Toad's ship is sunk and he starts surfing using a single plank of wood, making it back to shore. He decides to be a "surfing legend" until the wave approaches, and he uses his powers to freeze it. The Toad then wonders what to do with his powers. If Mario has previously visited The Crimson Tower, he can tell the Toad about the gateway, and he will leave Bloo Bay Beach and go to the tower.
