Navigate the treacherous pyramid and the mysterious Yoshi Sphynx in Part 18 of our Paper Mario: Color Splash walkthrough. Find all stickers and secrets!
Walkthrough
- 1Pyramid: Ascend the pyramid, staying on the same level until you reach the northeastern corner. Climb two more levels and continue to the uppermost level with the goal. Collect the [Worn-Out Jump], [Hopslipper], and [Jump] stickers along the way. At the top, do NOT jump into the goal. Instead, descend both sides to collect a [Slaphammer] and an [HP-Up Heart]. Return to the goal and finish the stage.
- 2Yoshi Sphynx - Exterior: Hammer the palm in the background for a coin. Grab the [Worn-Out Hammer] to the right. Defeat the Spinies and collect two [Hopslippers], one [Jump], and one [Hammer] from the northeasternmost palm. Drop down the pipe.
- 3Yoshi Sphynx - Foundation: Move left and defeat the Spiny and Paragoomba. Find a [Worn-Out Jump] and [Eekhammer] farther west. Continue clockwise around the foundation to find a [Worn-Out Hammer] on the closer foot and a [Hammer] on the farther foot. Continue clockwise to find a [Jump] sticker. Farther around, find an [Iron Jump] and a [Hammer]. Enter the door at the end.
- 4Yoshi Sphynx - Interior (First Room): A Dry Bones will chase you, and two Hammer Bros. will attack. Defeat the Dry Bones first, then the Hammer Bros. Collect the [Shiny Line Jump], [Flashy Hopslipper], [Hopslipper], [Iron Jump], and [Jump] stickers on the ground. The ?-Block contains a [Hammer], [Slaphammer], and [Eekhammer]. Note that the Dry Bones will revive. Check the eastern wall above the outcropping and hammer it to reveal a secret passage. Defeat the Hammer Bro. inside and grab the [Megaflash Hammer] sticker. Exit when ready.
- 5Yoshi Sphynx - Exterior (Revisited): Ascend the steps and defeat the Spiny on the right. Collect the [Shiny Jump], [Hopslipper], and [Worn-Out Jump] stickers on the right. Enter the door on the left.
- 6Yoshi Sphynx - Dark Room 1: This first room is dark and empty. The Dry Bones will eventually wake up; proceed through.
- 7Yoshi Sphynx - Rotating Room: In this room, hammer the middle of the back wall to make it rotate, revealing the next room.
- 8Yoshi Sphynx - Rotating Room Interior: Defeat the Spiny and Pokey. Find a [Jump] sticker on the wall and a [Shiny Hammer] in the ?-Block. Head up the back door. Ascend to the right and push out the wall at the end (which has a [Hopslipper] you can pick up). The door to the left leads back to the Hammer Bros. room; go right.
- 9Yoshi Sphynx - Bowser Tape Room: Defeat the Paragoomba. Collect the [Worn-Out Hammer] and [Worn-Out Jump] stickers along the back wall. Peel off the Bowser tape to reveal a Heart Block for healing. Take either door out.
- 10Yoshi Sphynx - Lower Level: Drop down to the level with Sombrero Guy, Maraca Guy, and Accordion Guy. Defeat them quickly using Battle Spinner + Fire/Ice Flower. They reveal an [Iron Jump]. A [Hammer] is in the ?-Block in the foreground. Backtrack up to the room with multiple doorways (left of the Heart Block room). Find and enter the door obscured by the rightmost pillar.
- 11Yoshi Sphynx - Item Upgrade Room: In this dark room, climb the stairs. The central area allows you to place an item for upgrade. To the left of this block, a hidden block can be revealed with a jump. Use these two blocks to hit a higher block containing a [Shiny Line Jump]. Jump from next to the door to reach the first block. Exit outside.
- 12Yoshi Sphynx - Final Exterior: Step forward a few paces. Paratroopas will appear.
