Café
- “This place looks sophisticated. A little TOO-phisticated for me. I'll keep quiet.”
- —Olivia,Paper Mario: The Origami King
Cafés[1] are areas inPaper Mario: The Origami King. Each one is marked by aNot-Bottomless Hole which, when filled, reveals a brown, mushroom-shaped door with a coffee cup on it. Each one features a different barista and customers who interact with Mario after he buys a drink. While the drinks have different names, they share the same cost of 100 coins and effect of healing all of Mario's HP. Visiting the cafés is not necessary for 100%completion.
Locations[edit]
Water Vellumental Shrine[edit]
A café can be found in a cavernous room of theWater Vellumental Shrine. It is run by aKoopa Troopa, with aGoomba and redShy Guy as customers. When Mario orders a drink, the Koopa Troopa describes the café as a secret place for minions to relax, while the Goomba and Shy Guy argue over who is stronger.
Scorching Sandpaper Desert[edit]
The café in theScorching Sandpaper Desert is located at the far right, past some ruins. Its barista is aSledge Bro, while aMini Goomba sits at the counter. The Sledge Bro serves Mario a small cup of coffee, and a giant cup to the Mini Goomba, who is then followed by a group of other Mini Goombas that begin drinking from it.
Shroom City[edit]
The café inShroom City is found on the left side of the area, and is only accessible after destroying the yellow streamer. It is run by aSombrero Guy who speaks in rhyme. After Mario buys some coffee, he begins playing a guitar song, while a nearbyPtooie andDino Rhino join the performance.
Bonehead Island[edit]
OnBonehead Island, the café is found to the right of the skull structure. It is run by aDry Bones, and its patrons include aBone Goomba and another Dry Bones who has collapsed from exhaustion. Mario is served a bone to use as a spoon, with the Bone Goomba chewing on his own spoon.
There is a unique music track in this café, which is a pitched down version of the track heard outside theEarth Vellumental Temple while most of theShell Stones are missing from the door.
Shangri-Spa[edit]
A floating platform inShangri-Spa takes Mario to a café door. It is run byShangri-Spa Toads, who discuss and admire the cleaning services provided byBowser's Minions. One Toad knocks over his cup of coffee, which is quickly cleaned and replaced by a red Shy Guy.
Spring of Rainbows[edit]
Next to theSpring of Rainbows is another café. The lighting is dimmer, and inside are three pinkSnifits. They sell Mario a cup of ordinary black coffee, and remain silent while he drinks it. This drink does not restore Mario's HP. If Mario first declines to buy the coffee, they ask if he wants the "special." Buying it results in pink spotlights turning on, thenBirdo appearing as her theme plays. She blows a heart into Mario's coffee cup, while the Snifitsblow whistles in excitement.
