====Chapter 1-1: The Adventure Unfolds====
The first area of this stage is quite simple. On Mario's way to the far right of the section, he will see the game's first enemies, a [[Goomba]] and a [[Squiglet]]. He will also encounter the game's first [[Brick Block]]s, the game's first [[Question Block]]s, and the game's first [[Warp Pipe]]s. He will also see a seemingly blocked off door. When Mario gets to the far right of this section, he will see [[Bestovius]]'s house. He will also encounter a [[Save Block]] there. When Mario enters Bestovius's house, he will see that the room he enters does not contain another door. When [[Tippi]] notices that Mario is stuck, she will give him a short tutorial on how to use her [[Tattle]] ability. Mario successfully uses this ability on a wall in the seemingly empty room, discovering a door in the process. When Mario enters this door, he will meet Bestovius.

When Mario enters Bestovius's house, he observes that the room he enters does not contain another door.

Mario successfully uses this ability on a wall in the seemingly empty room, discovering a door in the process. When Mario enters this door, he meets Bestovius.


Upon meeting Bestovius, Mario will ask him if he can provide him with the [[Flip]] ability, an ability that enables Mario to flip between 2-D and 3-D. Bestovius will then be sceptical about the offer, saying that Mario is not the real hero that the [[Light Prognosticus]] has predicted to appear. To ensure that Mario is the hero, he asks him to pay a fee of ten thousand [[Coin]]s. Mario will decline this offer, whereupon Bestovius will lower the price to all Coins Mario currently has. Should Mario decline the offer yet another time, the ability will not cost anything at all.

Upon receiving this ability, Mario will be able to proceed through the seemingly blocked off door, which will take him to the second portion of this stage. While there, he has to use the flipping ability to pass an otherwise insurmountable Warp Pipe. He will also see the game's first [[Koopa Troopa]]s. Afterwards, he will be faced with a gap too large for him to leap over. He will then have to utilise the Flip ability once again to find that there is a pathway in the background, which Mario will pass. He will then encounter the game's first [[Sproing-Oing]], and the game's first [[Squig]].

Upon making it to the third section of the level, Mario will encounter some high walls. He can chose between either jumping onto the Brick Blocks that are positioned before a wall, or to Flip to 3-D. If he chooses the second alternative, he will see that there are several Squiglets hiding behind each wall.

Want anything changed? Tell me! :D

Super Paper Mario levels

Here is where I will write about all levels in Super Paper Mario. I will attempt to keep them as detailed as possible. Articles will be updated whenever I feel like the section is good enough.

Lineland Road

Chapter 1-1: The Adventure Unfolds

On Mario's way to the far right of the section, he sees the game's first enemies, a Goomba and a Squiglet. He also encounters the game's first Brick Blocks, the game's first Question Blocks, and the game's first Warp Pipes. He also sees a seemingly blocked off door. When Mario gets to the far right of this section, he notices Bestovius's house. He also encounters a Save Block there. When Mario enters Bestovius's house, he observes that the room he enters does not contain another door. When Tippi notices that Mario is stuck, she gives him a short tutorial on how to use her Tattle ability. Mario successfully uses this ability on a wall in the seemingly empty room, discovering a door in the process. When Mario enters this door, he meets Bestovius.

Upon meeting Bestovius, Mario asks him if he can provide him with the Flip ability, an ability that enables Mario to flip between 2-D and 3-D. Bestovius is sceptical about the offer, saying that Mario is not the real hero that the Light Prognosticus predicted to appear. To ensure that Mario is the hero, he asks him to pay a fee of ten thousand Coins. Mario declines this offer, whereupon Bestovius lowers the price to all Coins Mario currently has. Should Mario decline the offer yet another time, the ability does not cost anything at all.

Mario, now being able to proceed through the door that was previously blocked off.

Upon receiving this ability, Mario is able to proceed through the seemingly blocked off door, which takes him to the second portion of this stage. While there, he has to use the flipping ability to pass an otherwise insurmountable Warp Pipe. He also observes the game's first Koopa Troopas. Afterwards, he is faced with a gap too large for him to leap over. He has to utilise the Flip ability once again to find that there is a pathway in the background, which Mario passes. Having done so, he encounters the game's first Sproing-Oing, and the game's first Squig.

Upon making it to the third section of the level, Mario encounters some high walls. He can chose between either jumping onto the Brick Blocks that are positioned before a wall, or to Flip to 3-D. If he chooses the second alternative, he sees that there are several Squiglets hiding behind each wall.

When he makes it to the fourth section, he is able to use the game's first Star. He then makes his way to the end of the section, defeating each enemy he passes in the process. In this section, the first Paragoombas, and the first Piranha Plants are seen. Upon reaching the rightmost part of this area, he sees a Star Door that takes him to the fifth and final section of the level, where he locates a Star Block, ending the level.

Mount Lineland

Chapter 1-2: Afoot in the Foothills

This level begins with Mario having to ascend some mountains using conveyor-belt-like mechanics. He also sees some Koopa Paratroopas and some Koopa Troopas. Mario may use a secondary path to get to the second area of the level. This path involves Mario flipping to 3-D, whereupon he spots that there is a pathway in the background that leads to a door – a door that takes Mario to the second part of the level.

When Mario enters the second section of the level after riding the conveyor-belt-like contraptions, he sees some Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas. He may Flip to 3-D here, whereupon he reveals a block that when hit erects a ladder. Upon climbing the newly-erected ladder, he is taken to some sort of Coin Heaven. But if he enters the section from the other path as mentioned above, he is greeted by a block that when hit makes a ladder appear. He will then appear near said Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas. When he reaches the middle of this section, he is greeted by numerous Spiky Tromps and Spiny Tromps. These enemies will be rolling down a slope that Mario must move along with. As the amount of Spiky Tromps and Spiny Tromps is endless, Mario has to Flip to 3-D to avoid them. Reaching the end of the slope, he finds a Star Door that takes him to the third section of the level.

Mario, exploring Yold Town.

Upon entering the third section of the level, Mario sees a chasm too large for him to leap. He will see a Warp Pipe that takes him to the background. While there, Mario has to enter Red's house. After helping Red back to 2-D, Red will ask Mario about his favourite colour. Mario answers the question, and Red lowers the bridge, allowing Mario to enter Yold Town. When there, Mario has to enter a building. This building contains a Warp Pipe that takes him to a basement that contains Whomps. He enters another room where he recruits Thoreau, the second Pixl of Super Paper Mario.

With Thoreau in the party, Mario has to pay Watchitt, the mayor of the town, a visit. At first, the mayor is suspicious to whether Mario really is the legendary hero spoken of in the Light Prognosticus or not, though his views on the matter change when he sees that he has recruited Thoreau. Having confirmed that Mario is the legendary hero, Watchitt calls Green, telling him to accept Mario's eventual request consisting of lowering the bridge. When he does this, Green asks Mario about his favourite colour. After Green hears the answer, he throws Mario outside, saying that Mario should be more decisive about his favourite colour. Upon crossing the bridge, Mario is greeted by a Star Block, ending the level.

Yold Desert

Chapter 1-3: The Sands of Yold

Arriving at Yold Desert, Mario has to make his way to Yold Ruins. He has to travel all the way to the right in the desert's first section. While he is making his way to the right, he will see that there is a differently-coloured tree. It differs from the other trees as this tree — unlike the other trees that are coloured in green — is coloured in red. He will also see some Bald Clefts, Koopa Troopas, Goombas, and Boomboxers. Should Mario Flip to 3-D here, he will be able to accrue a Catch Card for Boomboxers. Upon reaching the far right, he should Flip while standing near a stone with an arrow on it. This will reveal a pathway for Mario to take to the foreground of the desert. Here, Mario will find another path. While taking this path, Mario will see some Cherbils. Upon reaching the very end of the road, he will see a stone with an inscription saying that "he who leapeth beneath the red tree ten times will be rewarded." Heeding this advice, Mario will return to the red tree and leap beneath it ten times. Upon doing so, a Door will appear.

Taking the recently-appeared Door, Mario will appear at the second area of the desert. When there, he will immediately see a Squig, some Brick Blocks, a Springboard, a Coin Block, a puddle of quicksand, and some conveyor-belt-like mechanics. While there, he has to use the Springboard to take him to the conveyor-belt-like mechanics that will take him to the other side of the aforementioned puddle of quicksand. Now at the other side of the puddle of quicksand, he will see four Brick Blocks. The first one will contain a Zombie Shroom, the second and third will contain a single Coin, and the fourth will be just a normal Brick Block. Proceeding forward, Mario will notice a fairly large puddle of quicksand. For him to make his way across this time, he has to Flip to 3-D to reveal a hidden path in the middle of the puddle.

When Mario finishes crossing the hidden path above the puddle of quicksand, he will see a Springboard, some Brick Blocks obscuring an ! Switch, and another puddle of quicksand. Here, Mario has to use the Springboard to make his way to the other side of the set of Brick Blocks surrounding the ! Switch. There he will find an opening in the blockage, allowing him to, with the aid of Thoreau, activate the Switch. When the Switch is activated, some conveyor-belt-like mechanics will appear. Mario will then ride the conveyor-belt-like mechanics, whereupon he will land on the other end of the aforementioned puddle of quicksand.

When Mario makes his way here, he will find a Save Block, a Door that will take him to the third section of the desert, and a Warp Pipe. For him to reach the Warp Pipe, he has to Flip to 3-D near the Save Block, allowing him to access the Warp Pipe. Inside, there are some Coin Blocks, half of them only visible in 3-D.

Upon reaching the third section of the desert, Mario will be greeted by O'Chunks, one of Count Bleck's henchmen. Mario and O'Chunks will fight. Eventually, the plumber will defeat the henchman, whereupon O'Chunks will take off to the skies by farting, and a Star Door will appear. Upon taking the recently-appeared Star Door, Mario will appear in the fourth section of the desert. Here he has to jump onto a moving platform to take him to a Star Door that will take him to another section of the desert, where he will find a statue that, after Mario has flipped to 3-D, will say that Mario should press Minus Button and One Button at the same time on a pedestal. Heeding this advice, he should return to the section he entered after having defeated O'Chunks. Here he has to get to the far right of said section, eventually finding a pedestal before a dragon's head that has its mouth shut. As instructed, Mario will then jump on top of the pedestal and press Minus Button and One Button at the same time. Doing so, the jaw of the dragon will open, revealing a Star Block, ending the level.

Yold Ruins

Chapter 1-4: Monster of the Ruins

As Mario arrives at the Yold Ruins he will be faced with a corridor. Walking along the corridor, he will encounter a single Squiglet and a Star Door that he must take to get deeper into the ruins. Having taken said Star Door, the plumber will then appear in another room. In this room he will be greeted by some Buzzy Beetles, a Firebar, some puddles of quicksand, a Squig, and a Squiglet. For him to complete this room he has to first dodge the Buzzy Beetle, then he will have to leap a puddle of quicksand. Afterwards he will face another Buzzy Beetle, followed by two Blocks, the aforementioned Question Block, and the aforementioned Firebar. Here he may leap onto the Question Block to reach one of the other blocks, subsequently reaching two otherwise inaccessible paths of the room. The path to the left will contain a Buzzy Beetle and, later on, a Squiglet. The right path will contain a Squig and a ladder, with the latter taking Mario to a Treasure Chest that contains a Life Shroom. Retracing his steps, he should make his way to the Star Door to the right of the room, enabling him to go deeper into the Ruins.

Having taken the secondly abovementioned Star Door, Mario will appear in a room with more Firebars than the last room he visited. For Mario to easily dodge them, he can Flip to 3-D, enabling him to walk directly past them. While making his way to the right end of this room, he will encounter a locked door in the middle of the room. Making it to the end of the room, he will see a Star Door that appears to be floating in thin air. Here Mario will Flip to 3-D, whereupon he will see a Squiglet, and some thin, yellow Blocks with arrows on them placed beneath the Door. When he hits them they will flip from 3-D to 2-D, enabling him to proceed. After having taken the Star Door, he will then immediately see two Spiky Tromps, and a ladder. Climbing the ladder, he will reach a small platform where a Treasure Chest will be found.

Having discovered the abovementioned Treasure Chest, Mario will open it, finding a Key. With the newly-acquired Key in his possession, Mario should retrace his steps to the previous room where he will open the locked Star Door found in the middle of the corridor, enabling him to proceed deeper into the ruins. Immediately after going through the Star Door, a Save Block will be seen. Moving leftwards, Mario will first spot a Buzzy Beetle, then he will spot a formation of Blocks — one line of blocks alternating from a Question Block to a normal Block, and a concentrated collection of more blocks above the line of blocks — located above a puddle of quicksand, then a single Squiglet, then two Spiny Tromps, and finally a Squig and two Star Doors, one located on a platform slightly above-floor and one located closer to the floor.

When Mario sees that the Star Door found near the floor is locked, he will Flip, revealing a Question Block only visible in 3-D. Jumping onto the Question Block, he will be able to access the previously mentioned Star Door located slightly above the floor, taking him to a new room. Here, Mario will find a corridor. Walking down the corridor, he will find a Warp Pipe that spawns Squiglets. He will also find a ladder. Taking the ladder, he will notice an Exclamation Mark Switch located on the ceiling. For Mario to activate the switch he has to grab a Squiglet with Thoreau and then fling the Squiglet at the switch.

Having hit the Exclamation Mark Switch, Mario will leave the room, finding that the abovementioned formation of blocks have changed their appearance from before. Using Thoreau, Mario will be able to get hold of the Key. Using the newly acquired Key, Mario will then unlock the locked Star Door, entering a new room in which Mario will see a Star Door suspended in mid-air. For the plumber to enter the Star Door, he will have to utilise Tippi's Tattle ability to find a hidden platform beneath the Star Door. Having found the platform, Mario will then enter the Star Door, proceeding deeper into the Ruins.

Having gone through the Star Door, Mario will find himself in a room with two Firebars, a couple of Buzzy Beetles, a locked Star Door and a frame of blocks surrounding a Key. Here, Mario will flip to 3-D, enabling him to collect the Key. Mario will then unlock the Star Door, allowing for deeper exploration of the Ruins. Finding himself in the new room, he will immediately notice a Springboard that he should jump onto. Having jumped onto the Springboard, he will notice a Star Door in mid-air and also a corridor leading to the left. Heading rightward, he should then Flip to 3-D, revealing a hidden ladder that he should climb. After having climbed the ladder, he will then need to walk all the way to the left, finding an Exclamation Mark Switch that he will press, releasing numerous Spiny Tromps rolling towards Mario. He will also notice that hitting the switch revealed a large, red Exclamation Mark Switch found in the middle of the room that he should press. Pressing the switch, a hole in the ground will appear, filling up the gap below, enabling Mario to access the previously inaccessible Star Door, allowing him to get deeper into the Ruins.

Having gone through the door, he will find himself in a room with four red Exclamation Mark Switches. He should then Flip to 3-D, making numbers on the side of the blocks visible. The numbers are, from left to right: 2, 4, 1, 3. He should then hit the blocks in the order as shown on the numbers, where 1 means the first block to be hit and 4 means the last block to be hit. Having done so, a staircase will be created. Climbing the newly-created staircase, he will see a Save Block, a Question Block that contains a Super Mushroom, and a Warp Pipe. When Mario takes the Warp Pipe, he will find himself outside. Here he will fight Fracktail, Super Paper Mario's first chapter boss. Having defeated Fracktail, Mario will then find that a Warp Pipe has been erected. Upon taking the Warp Pipe, he will meet Merlumina, who will tell Mario about her childhood. He will also receive the second Pure Heart, ending the chapter.

Gloam Valley

Chapter 2-1: Bogging to Merlee's

Like all Chapters in Super Paper Mario, the Chapter begins with the environment being painted up before Mario and Peach enter the Chapter. The first enemies Mario will face are Red Paratroopas and one Spiky Goomba. Mario will also face a gap with water below it where Mario's jumping is not enough to leap the distance that crossing the gap requires – for the player to proceed here, Princess Peach needs to use her Parasol ability to safely glide over to the next side of the gap. Having crossed the gap, Peach and Mario will find several, small platforms floating in the water that will dip down in the water when stood on, and they will also find Super Paper Mario's first instance of Cheep-Cheeps. Upon trespassing to the rightmost end of the area, Mario and Peach will find a locked Star Door. Upon Flipping to 3D, Mario can notice a green arrow pointing downwards, indicating they will have to backtrack a little. Heeding this hint, they backtrack until they find a platform placed in-between the second and third less stable platforms. On this platform, Mario can Flip to spot two blocks with arrows on them that when hit will change their orientation to the second dimension. Then Mario (or alternatively, Peach) can make their way across the platforms located at the top of the area until reaching a Warp Pipe that they will enter. The Warp Pipe will lead to a small room with two Squiglets and a Squig that when defeated will yield a Treasure Chest that contains a Door Key.

With the newly-acquired Door Key, Mario and Peach should make their way down to the previously mentioned locked-off Star Door and unlock it, thereby enabling them to progress further into the Chapter. Doing so, they find a Question Block containing a Pal Pill; they also find that this section of the level mostly has Paragoombas and Red Paratroopas. They will also find a Star Door located at the middle of the area, and should they enter that door then they will meet Lock. They will also find a Warp Pipe that they can use as a platform to reach a higher platform that then can allow Mario to move even higher up. Having done so, the player should switch from Mario to Peach in order to use her Parasol Glide to safely glide across the platforms above, eventually reaching a Warp Pipe that takes Peach to the Level's background. While there, Peach has to traverse the platforms to access a blue Exclamation Point Switch that when hit will reveal a second Star Door in the foreground. Then the player should backtrack until they reach the now-visible Star Door and enter it.

Upon entering the rightmost Star Door, Mario and Peach will find themselves in a section of the level that contains a Question Block with a Star in it. Then they should make their way towards the end of this section – and as an effect of the Star, they will crush everything in their path.
