“We had so much fun in this park with Bobby...and we went to see that special show too! We helped him make so many great memories...but I guess we made them for ourselves too.”

—Olivia,Paper Mario: The Origami King

Shogun Studios is a location inPaper Mario: The Origami King. It is a Japanese-themed amusement park, themed after the real-worldEdo Wonderland. Notable attractions include theDress-Up Photo Studio, theHouse of Riddles, theSouvenir Shop, theBig Sho' Theater, theNinja Attraction, theShuriken Dojo, andTranquil Pipes Teahouse.Mario,Olivia, andBob-omb visit here after traveling downEddy River fromAutumn Mountain. Downstream from Shogun Studios isSweetpaper Valley. TheFire Hammer andIce Hammer can only be obtained and found at Shogun Studios.

History[edit]

While Mario, Olivia, and Bob-omb are being guided downstream from Autumn Mountain on theOarsman's canoe, they pass by Shogun Studios. Olivia is very excited and wants Mario to stop there, pointing out that they have to go as the bluestreamer is wrapped around Big Sho' Theater. If Mario chooses to continue downstream, however, the blue streamer blocks the path to Sweetpaper Valley. At the entrance, Mario has to buy a pass to enter the park; the one-useCommoner Pass is 2400coins (referred to as "gold bits") while the permanentRoyalty Pass costs 9800 coins.

A map of Shogun Studios

Upon entering Shogun Studios, Olivia and Bob-omb notice how quiet the park is. AGoomba,Snifit, andKoopa Troopa inform Mario that the staff have been trapped in a large castle called Big Sho' Theater. Mario and Olivia ram into the door, while Bob-omb notices a keyhole. Olivia encourages Mario to explore Shogun Studios and find thestaff key to the park.

APaper Macho Koopa Troopa blocks the way to theHouse of Riddles. To wake it up, Mario must climb up the Lookout Tower and hammer the bell. He can then free a staff Toad at the inside door of the tower, who gives Mario a hint as to where the staff room is located. By opening part of a bush at the east end of the park, Mario can access the staff room and free the owner of the Shuriken Dojo. However, the staff key is missing; it turns out to have been taken byLuigi, who is trapped in the Ninja Attraction. TheJungle King Mask,Space Warrior Mask, andGoomba Mask are also located in this room.

A chain of deals quest takes place at Shogun Studios. Going to the south end of the park, Mario enters theTranquil Pipes Teahouse. AShy Guy criticizes the serving glasses and gives Mario hisStraw. East of the staff room, a trainingNinji has forgotten his breathing tube and brought hisShuriken instead. Mario must trade the Straw, which the Ninji uses as a breathing tube instead, for the Shuriken. The Shuriken is used to open the Shuriken Dojo, and if Mario plays the shuriken-throwing game and gets a score of exactly 21, he is awarded with theBaseball. Behind a house elsewhere in the park, twoDry Bones are throwing aBone back and forth. Mario can trade the Baseball for their Bone, then feed it toPrincess, an angryChain Chomp.

As Olivia pets Princess, aMAX UP Heart appears. Mario, Olivia, and Bob-omb go to the Ninja Attraction, finding Luigi and getting the Shogun Studios Master Key. They use this to unlock the door to Big Sho' Theater, defeatRubber Band, free the Toads who are restrained to the theater seats, and destroy the blue streamer. As they exit the theater, the freed Toads throw them a celebration. Watching the fireworks, Bob-omb suddenly regains his memories, but promises to stick with Mario and Olivia as they continue toSweetpaper Valley. As the Oarsman rows downstream, various Toads wave goodbye to the trio.

There is a fishing spot at the southeast end of Shogun Studios. Mario may fish up a Legendary Cheep Cheep that turns out to be a Ninji in disguise; the staff Toad gives Mario 100 coins in consolation.

Notes[edit]

• If Mario fax travels from theSensor Lab to its satellite office in Shogun Studios and exits the office, a staff Toad will forcefully escort him to the park entrance, even with theLamination Suit on.
• There is an obscure interaction if Mario returns to the Shogun Studios staff room after collecting theShogun Studios Master Key. Olivia tells the "random unnamed staff-member Toad" that they found the key, causing the Toad to get offended, saying that he does have a name but "you hero types just never ask." In French, he specifically says his name is Aristoad. In the Italian version, thefourth wall is broken further with the Toad referring to himself as one of several "secondary yet fundamental characters."
