- “By rock man's noggin, when outer space is reversed, the door secret hides.”
- —Ancient Clue, Super Paper Mario
The Ancient Clue is one of the special items that is found during the events of the Wii game Super Paper Mario.
Blappy, elder of the Blobules, spent his youth searching for the 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 "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 Coins. (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" section 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 other contents of the toilet.
The text of the Ancient Clue mentioned reversing 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.
