Thing
Things are 3D objects that appear inPaper Mario: Sticker Star andPaper Mario: Color Splash. Contrary to most elements of those games, Things do not appear to be made of paper or similar materials but are instead modeled realistically.
History[edit]
Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]
- See also:Sticker § Things
Things (lowercased) make their debut appearance inPaper Mario: Sticker Star. They appear in the overworld and may have an effect on their surroundings, such as theFan inBouquet Gardens, while others can only be accessed via aSecret Door. When collected, they are added to the Things section inMario'salbum. They then need to be flattened at aSling-a-Thing stand to be converted into asticker that can be used in combat or be placed in specific spots in the levels viapaperization. When used, a thing sticker summons a flattened thing that has an effect on enemies or the overworld.
While the album can hold an unlimited number of things that Mario collected, the amount of thing stickers that the album can hold at the same time is limited. Things that are currently in Mario's album, be that in normal or sticker form, do not reappear in stages. A thing that Mario has lost can be found back in the stage in which it appeared or be bought at asecluded stand west ofDecalburg.
Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]
Things (now capitalized) return inPaper Mario: Color Splash. In this game, as soon as Mario collects a Thing, it immediately gets squeezed into aThing Card that can be used in battle or to solve puzzles in the overworld viaCutout. Contrary to thing stickers in the previous game, the Things summoned by Thing Cards are not flattened but actual 3D objects.
Two Thing-relatedToads can be found the harbor district ofPort Prisma: theKnow-it-All Toad, who gives Mario hints about which Things he needs, and theWringer, who sells Mario Things that he had previously squeezed.
Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]
While Things do not return as collectible items inPaper Mario: The Origami King, theLegion of Stationery members are visually similar to Things, being large, realistic-looking, 3D objects, although they have an antagonist role. Moreover, theFan Thing makes an appearance inThe Great Sea.
