- “There's a lot of water here... Just as an FYI, water is paper's archenemy.”
- —Kersti,Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Water's Edge Way is World 1-3 ofPaper Mario: Sticker Star. It is a grassy area with a waterfall and several islands in the middle of bodies of water. It is the first level in the game with two exits, and it is also the first level in which the piece of theSticker Comet is moved from its original location.
Layout[edit]
Mario finds the piece of the Sticker Comet early on in the level. As he approaches it, the sameToad fromWarm Fuzzy Plains bumps into him. He gives Mario analbum page, but says that someone is following him. Kamek appears and is joined by twoGoombas, but Mario defeats him in a battle. Angry, Kamek paperizes the piece of the comet and sends it away. Note, although this is the first time Mario fights him, this is the first, and only battle where Kamek does not turn his stickers intosandal stickers. Mario goes after it and eventually finds it floating atop a water spout. In a nearby cave, he finds theFaucet that is supplying the water and turns it off, receiving the item. The Comet Piece falls through a hole and Mario retrieves it. Then, he returns it to its original location to complete the level. Mario can later return with aSecret Door and place it in the underground area where the water was to get theBedthing.
Secret exit[edit]
In the area one screen past where Kamek is encountered, there is a sign that reads "Water's Edge Waterfall." By running off the ledge and into the waterfall, Mario enters a cave with a Comet Piece. Collecting this unlocksWhammino Mountain.
Kersti's comments[edit]
- General:
- There's a lot of water here... Just as an FYI, water is paper's archenemy. (NA)
- There's a lot of water here... Just so you know, water is paper's arch-enemy. (EU)
- Near the waterfall:
- This one sticker was telling me that negative ions in waterfall waters make skin feel fresh... Is that for real? (NA)
- This sticker once told me that negative ions in waterfalls are good for you. What on earth are those? (EU)
- In the area with the cardboard Bowser head:
- What's that strange thing up there?
- Standing on the faucet:
- It doesn't seem like just standing on that thing does anything useful.
Advice[edit]
- Before taking the Faucet:
- We have to do something about that water to get that comet piece... Have we been everywhere we can go?
