Complete walkthrough for Part 28 of Paper Mario: Color Splash, covering the Tree Branch Trail and Gauntlet Pond areas, including Wiggler battles and item locations.
Walkthrough
- 1In the first room, use POWs or Fire Flowers to destroy the web. Defeat the Scuttlebug, then heal.
- 2Continue east to the next room. Jump on the web to disintegrate it, allowing you to fall onto Kersti.
- 3Peel Kersti off the web and fall down. Head south, jump up the steps, and defeat the Scuttlebug near the door with a void.
- 4Correct the door with paperization to enter. Defeat the Scuttlebug inside.
- 5Grab the [Flashy Hammer] and [Line Jump] from the ?-Blocks. Continue until you reach your [*Hammer*] in the next room.
- 6(Optional) Grab the Secret Door if you wish. Drop down and grab the [Jump] sticker on the western wall.
- 7Hammer the ?-Block for a [Shiny Hurlhammer] and proceed to the next room.
- 8Make your way to Wiggler. Hammering small spiders yields Jump stickers and coins.
- 9Defeat the Scuttlebug in front of Wiggler and hammer away the web. The [Wiggler Segment] will join you.
- 10Hit the ?-Block for a [POW Block] and head back out. Go left to find an opening in the wall.
- 11Inside the opening, collect [Shiny Iron Jump], [Shiny Hopslipper], and [Shiny Line Jump].
- 12Return to the goal. An [Iron Jump] can be found in the room overlooking Kersti's torture chamber (look for brick blocks in a corner).
- 13Hammer the web to complete this level.
- 14After Wiggler runs off, you may need to buy stickers from Decalburg. Head to 3-8 afterwards.
- 15In the Tree Branch Trail, deal with the Scuttlebug and Ninji. Head around the swamp.
- 16Defeat the hanging Scuttlebug and jump across brick blocks to the right. Grab the [Shiny Line Jump] from the ?-Block.
- 17Head back up, defeat the other hanging Scuttlebug, and grab the [Line Jump] from the ?-Block.
- 18Defeat the Ninji and head east. Grab the [Line Jump] to the north across the swamp if desired.
- 19Head right. Go for the [Jump] in the background; this allows you to find an [HP-Up Heart] by heading left afterwards.
- 20Return to the web. Hit the ?-Block for the [Iron Jump] but do not jump otherwise, or the web will break.
- 21Head north to the Heart Block to heal. Ignore the swamp and head south, then ignore the ramp.
- 22Try to cross the swamp. Place a block halfway through to obtain three [Leafs] by jumping.
- 23Go up the tree ramp. After defeating the Scuttlebug, jump off the back edge near the 180 turn to find a block containing an [Eekhammer].
- 24Go back up the ramp and continue to the top. Grab the [Fire Flower] from the ?-Block in the background, then jump on the web to fall down.
- 25Hit the block for a [Hurlhammer]. Head west back to the previous area.
- 26Continue across bridges until you find Wiggler and a [Worn-Out Hammer]. Hammer the web to begin a Wiggler battle.
- 27This [Wiggler Segment] will join you. Continue westward up steps (find a [Worn-Out Jump] along the way) until you reach another [Tree Stump] scrap.
- 28Head back to the easternmost tree stump, jump off the back down to the [Jump] sticker below. Peel it off and head left to find a [Slaphammer].
- 29Go back to the healing swamp. Wiggler will jump in. Heal afterwards.
- 30Go back up the tree ramp and drop down to the lower section. Jump to the northern ledge and slip behind the bush on the right.
- 31Go north into the background and climb all ramps to reach the goal.
- 32Take the Wiggler segment and Tree Stump scrap back to the Tree House. Insert the Tree Stump to open up 3-9.
- 33In Gauntlet Pond, head up the steps and defeat the Poison Blooper. Watch for the swinging wooden log.
