The Magical Map is a special treasure map in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

The Magical Map was then created to help the heroes locate the Crystal Stars should they be needed again. The map was then locked in a small chest and was enchanted so it could only be opened by the pure hearted, so evil could not use it. Additionally, the heroes locked the Shadow Queen and her followers behind a large door, which was enchanted to only be opened with the Crystal Stars. A pedestal in front of the door shows the locations of the Crystal Stars on the Magical Map if one stands on top of it with the map in their possession, with the Crystal Stars aiding in locating the next one.

After the merchant demonstrates that she cannot open it, the chest is given to Peach. Peach is able to open the chest, which shows a bright light upon being opened, and Peach finds the Magical Map inside. Overjoyed by her discovery, Peach sends Mario a letter telling him about Rogueport and the map, additionally sending the map to Mario and telling him to meet her at Rogueport. Once Mario makes it to Rogueport and finds the Thousand-Year Door, he stands on the pedestal with the map in his hand, which reveals the location of the first Crystal Star to be in Hooktail Castle in Petal Meadows, the first stop in Mario's latest adventure.
