Spring of Purification
- “Effective against Rips and Tears”
- —Sign, Paper Mario: The Origami King
The Spring of Purification is a location in Paper Mario: The Origami King. It is one of five hot springs offered at Shangri-Spa. It is arguably the easiest to find and use, although it must be visited at least twice. It is found in the entrance building, to the left of the main hall. This spring is supposedly effective against rips and tears. There is a Shangri-Spa Toad next to a stamp booth. If Mario walks past after using the spring, the Toad reminds him to stamp for the Stamp Card. There is a Koopa Troopa near the spring, on his break.
The first time the spring is used, Mario simply needs to walk into it. As a bonus, all of his HP is quickly restored. Olivia is shocked Mario went in so quickly and wonders what would happen if she went in. Eventually, she decides to slowly drop in. After a while, she is finally able to relax. Mario is now able to use the stamping station nearby to get his first stamp.
After Bowser Jr. has been cut up, they decide to run toward the Spring of Purification first to piece him back together. However, three Chargin' Chucks are now in the spring and refuse to get out. Mario must defeat them, allowing Kamek to go in and lay out Bowser Jr.'s pieces. They sink into the water and surface back together. However, he is still crisped and grimy, requiring them to use the other springs provided around the resort. This spring does not need to be visited again, although doing so will restore all of Mario's HP once more.
