Your complete walkthrough for Paper Mario's first chapter, 'The Adventure Unfolds.' Learn how to defeat enemies, find hidden items like Shroom Shakes and Mega Stars, and use Tippi's abilities.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by walking left, breaking or stomping enemies. Find a mushroom in an item brick. Use a brick to jump over a wall.
  2. 2
    Jump over a gap and go down the pipe (stand on it and press down on the d-pad) to find a Shroom Shake. Exit through the other pipe.
  3. 3
    Continue left, up the stairs, and hit the save block. Enter the house.
  4. 4
    Use Tippi's find ability to reveal a hidden door. Enter it to trigger a cut scene. Respond to the character's questions: no, no, then yes.
  5. 5
    Use the flip ability to find a Shroom Shake and a Shell Shock. Save your game again outside.
  6. 6
    Flip outside the house to find three item bricks. Two contain coins, and the middle one has Pal Pills.
  7. 7
    Go down the stairs and flip again to reveal a row of coins. Walk to the wall across the gap and flip to bypass it, then enter the door.
  8. 8
    Walk right and use the first Koopa Troopa to defeat the enemies ahead. Continue until you reach an impassable pipe.
  9. 9
    Flip into 3-D mode and grab the Goomba card behind the pipe.
  10. 10
    A Goomba and an item brick (Mushroom) are visible only in 3-D mode over the middle pipe. After clearing the pipes, flip back to 2-D and hit the item brick for another mushroom.
  11. 11
    Jump on the bricks to cross the gap. The item brick at the end of the row contains a coin, and the one below it has 5 coins. The next row of item bricks each contain a coin, with the top one holding a happy flower.
  12. 12
    Walk right. Flip into 3-D to reveal a background path across an impassable gap. Once across, return to 2-D and squish the Goomba.
  13. 13
    Jump over the next gap and continue right. Enter the door.
  14. 14
    Walk right until you reach a mound with a spring. Flip into 3-D and walk behind the mound to find Pal Pills in an item brick.
  15. 15
    Flip back into 2-D. The next item brick contains a slow flower. Use it to your advantage.
  16. 16
    At the mound, flip into 3-D. A large number of Squiglets are present. Use the slow flower to defeat them all for many points, but be mindful of your 3-D time bar.
  17. 17
    Continue right, up the stairs. In 3-D mode, a Sproing-Oing is located under the stairs. Jump over the gap and go through the door.
  18. 18
    Beware of Piranha Plants in the pipes ahead. Flip into 3-D to avoid them, or walk close to their pipe until they disappear, then jump over.
  19. 19
    The item brick contains a Mega Star. Grab it and defeat the remaining enemies. Jump up and hit the star box to end the level.
