Bloo Bay Beach is a location fromPaper Mario: Color Splash. The path leading here is unlocked after getting the blueMini Paint Star from eitherCherry Lake orIndigo Underground, and completing it unlocks a path toSunglow Ridge. Collecting the blue Mini Paint Star inPlum Park also leads to this level, but since it cannot be accessed without having completed Bloo Bay Beach, this path's only purpose is to serve as a shortcut on the world map.Surfing Kinopio can be found here.
Layout[edit]
After entering Bloo Bay Beach, aToad tells Mario aboutOceanfest. Huey is surprised that the Toads are partying when the Big Paint Stars are missing, and tells Mario to look for the Mini Paint Star. Mario can then explore the outskirts of the beach, which has manyKoopa Troopas. Inside a cave, a Toad is looking for a secret pirate treasure, which Mario can reveal by hammering a vine and pulling on it. Exiting the cave, Huey admires the view. Mario can also talk toSurfing Kinopio, a blue Toad in a boat who is preparing to sail to the edge of the world.
Oceanfest begins, and by going south, Mario enters an area with manyCheep Cheeps jumping out of the water. When Mario arrives at Oceanfest, he can go behind the cafe to findLuigi in the shower, and useCutout for a coin bonus. He must participate in theToad and Go Seek game and find theFive Fun Guys. They are located behind the cafe barista, in a tree, buried in the sand, in a shell, and in a lump of sand. Once all Five Fun Guys have been found, Mario can playToad Shuffle, in which akey is given to one of the five (which is the one that was in the shell, bearing a crease along their head). Mario must use hisPaint Hammer and paint the Toad with the key, making them easier to keep track of. However, Mario's guess is still incorrect (due to them having exchanged the key mid-game), andHuey calls out the Toad organizing the event, who apologizes and gives Mario the key.
Mario is allowed access toBlissful Beach. He and Huey can relax on two beach chairs while the Five Fun Guys dance, restoring Mario's HP. Mario then must hop across beach umbrellas to reach the yellowMini Paint Star. Before getting it, he can useCutout to go even further to the right, and recruit the third Toad of thepurple Rescue Squad. Collecting the Mini Paint Star grants access toSunglow Ridge.
When Mario returns to Bloo Bay Beach, he finds that Surfing Kinopio has been shipwrecked. He can use Cutout on a nearby rock and insert the Fan Thing, which creates a large wave. Surfing Kinopio's ship is sunk and he starts surfing using a single plank of wood, making it back to shore. He decides to be a "surfing legend" until the wave approaches, and he uses his powers to freeze it. Surfing Kinopio then wonders what to do with his powers. If Mario has previously visitedthe Crimson Tower, he can tell Surfing Kinopio about the gateway, and he will accept his destiny as aChosen Toad, then leave Bloo Bay Beach and go to the tower.
