Whiteout Valley (known asWhite-Out Valley in the British English version), formerly known asWhite Valley, is the fifth level ofWorld 4 inPaper Mario: Sticker Star. The level features a ski lift, which Mario rides while avoiding enemies.
Layout[edit]
Mario starts in a small snowy area that leads into an icy cave. AnIce Bro and aShiny Goomba wander around this cave. At the right end of the cave, there is aHeart Block and aSave Block. The exit of the cave is blocked off by a void, which is shaped to match the Forebear's Portrait scrap obtained in the prior level,The Enigmansion. There is a ski lift beyond the exit, but it is non-functional.
UsingPaperize to fill the void with the Forebear's Portrait causes the sepia coloring of the scrap, excluding theforebear, to fade into normal colors. The forebear performs a safety check and activates the ski lift, allowing Mario to take the lift upward.
While on thechairlift, enemies attempt to attack Mario. If Mario comes in contact with an enemy or an attack, he must fight the enemy before continuing. These battles occur on top of the rope holding up the lift. Outside of battle, there are some hearts andcoins on said rope that Mario can collect.
The first area on the lift takes Mario up a snowy mountainside. It contains coins,Ice Bros., andFuzzies. The second area goes through a cave with larger groups of Fuzzies. The third area is similar to the first, butShiny Paragoombas replace the Fuzzies. At the end of the last area,Luigi is taking the lift down the mountain. As usual, he can be pulled off viaPaperization.
The ski lift ends on a spire with small spiral blue staircase. The stairs lead up to a raised platform with theComet Piece. Once Mario reaches the this area and hops off the lift, the ski lift ceases functioning.
If the player returns to this level after completing it, theforebear is no longer present, but the lift is still active.

Notes[edit]
- The music when riding the ski lift, named "Give Me a Lift", is a remix of the athletic theme fromSuper Mario Bros. 3.
- The first word of this level is a reference to "White-Out", a paint like substance that is used to get rid of marks on paper including pen ink or markers.
