Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Cheats (GameCube)

Before fighting Hooktail, get the Sound Changing Badge in the jail cell. The sound is a
cricket noise, and is Hooktail's weakness.

In Chapter 4, the ghost that you fought and that takes over Mario asks you to guess his
name. His name is Doopliss.

Make sure that you have 60 HP, 60 FP, and 30 BP. When you fight her just as Peach use
Vivian as your partner. Then. use the spinning jump and Vivian's Shade Fist until the
Shadow Queen turns into her other form. Then switch to Koops. Use his power shell to
attack the hands and the body. Then, use the Power Smash badge. Also, when she adds 7 more
to her next attack, use either Koops' Shell Shield or Vivians Veil. Make sure both Koops'
and Vivian's level is at the highest. Repeat this and you should be able to win. Do not
forget to heal and make sure you have a lot of Life Shrooms.

This Boss has a maximum HP of 150. In her first form, she has a max attack of 7 and
defense of 0. Use HP and FP Plus Badges and Power and Defense Plus Badges to have a better
chance. When she reaches 70 to 80 HP, she turns into her regular form. She is invincible
for four turns, then recovers all health. Then, a very long intermission sequence will
begin and she will be attackable. Use emergency Sweet Feasts and Supernovas. Her hands are
a force to be reckoned with; try using Admiral Bobbery's Bob-ombast or Vivian's Fiery Jynx
if either is leveled enough. It may require a few short turns to learn to dodge her
attacks. After some steady battling, you will defeat her.

This trick requires some attacking items, some recovery items for backup, Badges of
any kind (Close Call, Mega and Power Rushes, and any others that are powerful and that can
make your opponents miss more recommended), and Vivian. At the beginning, use up your
attacks because your power will recover. When the Shadow Queen changes into her true form,
use anything except items. After the intermission sequence and Peach giving Mario her
power, do the following. If the Shadow Queen has her big hands, when it is Mario's turn
use Power Smash or Spring Jump (recommended) on the Shadow Queen, and not the Hands. When
it is Vivian's turnm use Fiery Jynx and that will kill the Hands. When the Shadow Queen
uses her Dead Hands, have Mario either use Fire Drive, an item that attacks all enemies,
Earth Tremor, or Art Attack. When it is Vivian's turn, have her use Fiery Jynx. This will
finish off the Dead Hands. When the Shadow Queen boosts her attack and defense by three,
have Mario use Power Smash. When it is Vivian's turn, have her use Fiery Jynx unless there
are no Hands of some kind, then use Shade Fist. When the Shadow Queen does a Super Charge,
have Mario use Power Smash, Spring Jump, an attacking item, or an attacking Crystal Star
Ability. When it is Vivian's turn, have her use Veil. If Mario has low HP, then use an
item or Sweet Feast. If Vivian is low, give her a weaker item such as Super Shroom or give
her Sweet Feast or Sweet Treat. When the Shadow Queen gets low HP, have Mario use
attacking items. Vivian should either attack, or use an attacking item, unless the Shadow
Queen does a Super Charge. If that happens, use Veil. After all that, use Supernova and do
a good job of it. Have Vivian attack then finish her off.

To get Luigi's clothes, go to where you get the sixth crystal star. From here, do a spring
jump up to a pole on the left side. Do another spring jump to reach a ledge with the Luigi
Emblem.

After Chapter 8, it is difficult to get Star Points. Go to the Twilight Trail and kill
everything there until you find an Amazing Dazy. Then, use everything you have to kill it.
If you make a mistake, it will run away or hit you for 20 points. To defeat it, try using
Art Attack or Supernova. After defeating it, you will get about 38 Star Points.

Start a new game and enter the name of a color as a name. When Yoshi joins your party
during the game, he will appear as that color.

To upgrade your party members twice, go to Hooktail's Castle. At the room where the
ceiling closes in on you with spikes, at the end it there is a wall that can be blown up.
Use Admiral Bobery to blow up the wall. Inside is an Up Crystal. Give it to Merlin and
then you will be able to upgrade your partners twice.

After you defeat the Shadow Queen, go to the town where the train from Rougeport takes
you. Go in the area outside of the building where you obtained the Crystal Star. In that
area you will see Bow and Bootler from the original Paper Mario.

To get Wario's clothes, go to the central area of Rougeport with 360 Coins. There should
be a merchant with a large mustache. He sells something called a Wario Emblem from time to
time. It is a badge that requires no badge points to wear.

You should have a Zap Zip Badge and at least 45 Health, 35 Flower Points, and about 30
Badge Power. You should only use Star Power for Sweat Treat. Use a strong party member and
keep an even pace with your attacks. Additionally, Gloomtail, Hooktail's older brother,
has 80 HP and 6 ATT power . Use Power Smash (equip many if you have more than one) and use
Admiral Bobbery to bomb him . This should not take long. Note: If you have a Feeling Fine
Badge, put it on to avoid Poison . After five to eight turns, Gloomtail will be defeated
and you will get the Star Stone.

The corpse in Hooktail Castle has the name Kolorado in it. He was a Koopa in the original
Paper Mario.

Normally, you will hurt yourself when jumping on spiked enemies. When you get Vivian go
into the sewers and have Flurrie. Reveal the hidden pipe and go down it. You will enter a
room where the floor has spikes going up and down. Change Flurrie to Vivian and go on the
floor when the spikes are down. When you think the spikes will come up, press X and Vivian
will take you under the spikes, then come up when they go down. At the end of the room is
a chest with the badge that lets you jump attack spiked enemies and not get hurt.
Unfortunately it does not help you get across the spiked floor. Repeat the previous
technique to get back out.

When underground in the Thousand Year Door level, you will reach a part where if you make
a wrong move you will end-up at the beginning. There are four doors. Never go back, so
there are really only two to choose from. First, take the one straight across the room,
then again in the next room. In the third room, go upstairs to the door facing the
right-hand side. In the fourth room, do the same thing. Then in room 5, take the bottom
right-hand door. In room 6 take the top right-hand door. Finally, in room 7 take the
bottom right-hand door. Quickly save the game, as you will face four Bosses. Stock up on
health supplies and thunder items. Additionally, an easy way to get through the maze is
when you see candle lights on the wall. The real door will have a candlelight lighten up.
It will either be the top right or bottom left. If the bottom left does not have any
candle light up, it will be the top one and vice-versa.

If you defeat a Boss or enemy that you fight once (for example, Hooktail, Red Bones, Gus,
etc.), and you do not tattle on them, you can get their information by looking in the
yellow trash can in Professor Frankly's house.

In story mode, you will get six characters (Goombella, Koops, Madame Flurrie, Yoshi,
Vivian, and Admiral Bobbery). However after Chapter 4, go to the Trouble Center and take
the chore of the mystery person. You will figure out that it is the mouse thief and when
the mission is over you get the partner Ms. Mowz. Also after Chapter 4, a trouble in the
Trouble Center that has the recipient, ???. It is Ms. Mowz. She needs a badge in Hooktail
Castle. In the room where you fought her, in the middle is an invisible chest. Use
Flurrie. Give the badge to her, and she will join your party.
