After crossing the [[Violet Passage|Lost Sea]], the [[Toad Captain|captain]]'s ship is stuck because of the whirlpool. The Mini Paint Star is in the middle, leading to Lighthouse Island. The captain's ship heads to the island until the whirlpool stops.
After crossing the [[Lost Sea]], the [[Toad Captain|captain]]'s ship stops at a vortex with a [[Mini Paint Star]] in the center. The captain warns against going into the vortex and docks at a nearby island. Shortly after docking, Mario can re-paint a Toad, who tells him that nobody knows how to stop the vortex. The bridge leading further onto the island is broken, so Mario must enter a cave to get to the other side. Inside, a purple Toad looks at a treasure chest that is too high up to reach. After exiting the cave, Mario reaches a house with unpainted Toads out front. If Mario paints the Toad inside the house, he reveals that there is an entrance to a parallel world through a Warp Pipe in his backyard, and allows Mario to use it. Before he can enter the pipe, Mario must rip off the Toad tape and pull out the Cork Thing.


The only way to stop the vortex is to go to the parallel world. The [[Toad (species)|purple Toad]] will tell [[Mario]] and [[Huey]] about it before they can enter the parallel world. The entrance is in the garden, with a couple of colorless Toads and a colorless shirtless Toad. The Cork Thing is in the entrance pipe, with a piece of tape stuck to it. Mario needs to peel it off before he can pull out the Cork.
The parallel world is similar to the normal world, except inhabited by Shy Guys instead of Toads, Boos instead of Bloopers, and Dry Bones instead of Koopa Troopas. Mario can hammer down posts in the parallel world that are solid in the normal world. The water has been drained, so Mario can walk across where the river usually is. This allows him to access an area with four metal posts, and going south brings him to the area with the broken bridge. Here, Mario can create a bridge by hitting invisible blocks. Three metal posts are blocking the area with the whirlpool. Additionally, in the parallel cave, Mario can hammer another post. With all the posts removed and the bridge built, he must go back to the normal world.


When Mario and Huey enter the parallel world, there are no Toads in the parallel world, but there are some [[Shy Guy]]s that can be talked to instead. [[Boo]]s and [[Dry Bones]] can be battled in the parallel world.
If Mario revisits the treasure chest, it is full of five Line Jump cards. Back at the first area, the ship crew has crossed the bridge and is waiting at some wooden posts. Huey encourages Mario to continue looking and reach the Mini Paint Star. To the north is four wooden posts which Mario must hammer down to reveal a big rainbow blob of paint. In the parallel world, the corresponding posts have been sunk to reveal more paint. Mario can pass the posts where the captain was in the normal world, leading him to a laundry room where the Washing Machine Thing is creating a vortex. Squeezing it causes Mario to be attacked by a series of enemies: [[Laundry Guy]], a [[Shy Guy 5-Stack]], a [[Koopa Troopa]], and a [[Shady Sledge Bro]].


There is a door to where the vortex is located, but there are some posts that Mario needs to hit in the normal world before he can enter. The vortex happens to be a tornado in the parallel world, with the Washing Machine Thing making it in the parallel world. Mario needs to hit blocks in the parallel world to make a bridge in the normal world. Then Mario needs to hit the posts, and then go back to the parallel world again. The American and Japanese versions feature a laundry room with the [[Laundry Guy]] doing laundry, who attacks Mario after squeezing the Washing Machine. The European version features a sandy room with a couple of rocks. Once Mario squeezes the Washing Machine, a red Shy Guy battles Mario first. Once the Laundry Guy or Shy Guy is defeated, a [[Shy Guy 5-Stack]] battles Mario next that their clothes were inside. Then when Mario defeats them, a [[Koopa Troopa]] appears and tells Mario that its other shell was inside. After deafeating it, a [[Shady Sledge Bro]] appears and tells Mario that its scarf, gloves, and socks were inside.
Returning to the normal world, the vortex slowly disappears and Mario has to ask the ship's helmsman to sail to it. The Mini Paint Star opens a path to [[Lighthouse Island]].
 
After the battle and after returning back to the normal world, the vortex stops and the captain returns to the ship. Then Mario needs to talk to the helmsman to head to the Mini Paint Star and then grab it.

“If you hang out laundry to dry in the parallel world...it won't ever dry, will it? Because it's so wet and cloudy?”
Huey, Paper Mario: Color Splash

Vortex Island is a location from Paper Mario: Color Splash. The path leading here is unlocked after getting the Purple Mini Paint Star from Violet Passage, and unlocks a path leading to Lighthouse Island. The Cork and Washing Machine Things can be found here, with the cork plugging the warp pipe to the parallel world, and the washing machine the source of the vortex.

After crossing the Lost Sea, the captain's ship stops at a vortex with a Mini Paint Star in the center. The captain warns against going into the vortex and docks at a nearby island. Shortly after docking, Mario can re-paint a Toad, who tells him that nobody knows how to stop the vortex. The bridge leading further onto the island is broken, so Mario must enter a cave to get to the other side. Inside, a purple Toad looks at a treasure chest that is too high up to reach. After exiting the cave, Mario reaches a house with unpainted Toads out front. If Mario paints the Toad inside the house, he reveals that there is an entrance to a parallel world through a Warp Pipe in his backyard, and allows Mario to use it. Before he can enter the pipe, Mario must rip off the Toad tape and pull out the Cork Thing.

The parallel world is similar to the normal world, except inhabited by Shy Guys instead of Toads, Boos instead of Bloopers, and Dry Bones instead of Koopa Troopas. Mario can hammer down posts in the parallel world that are solid in the normal world. The water has been drained, so Mario can walk across where the river usually is. This allows him to access an area with four metal posts, and going south brings him to the area with the broken bridge. Here, Mario can create a bridge by hitting invisible blocks. Three metal posts are blocking the area with the whirlpool. Additionally, in the parallel cave, Mario can hammer another post. With all the posts removed and the bridge built, he must go back to the normal world.

If Mario revisits the treasure chest, it is full of five Line Jump cards. Back at the first area, the ship crew has crossed the bridge and is waiting at some wooden posts. Huey encourages Mario to continue looking and reach the Mini Paint Star. To the north is four wooden posts which Mario must hammer down to reveal a big rainbow blob of paint. In the parallel world, the corresponding posts have been sunk to reveal more paint. Mario can pass the posts where the captain was in the normal world, leading him to a laundry room where the Washing Machine Thing is creating a vortex. Squeezing it causes Mario to be attacked by a series of enemies: Laundry Guy, a Shy Guy 5-Stack, a Koopa Troopa, and a Shady Sledge Bro.

Returning to the normal world, the vortex slowly disappears and Mario has to ask the ship's helmsman to sail to it. The Mini Paint Star opens a path to Lighthouse Island.
