Paper Mario: The Origami King guide – Toad Town collectibles locations

In this Paper Mario: The Origami King guide, we’ll help you find every collectible, hidden block, and repairable hole throughout Toad Town.

Toad Town collectibles locations – First visit

There are 1 Toad, 16 Not-Bottomless Holes, 13 Collectible Treasures, and 9 ? Blocks in Toad Town.

Toad Town is self-contained, so its boundaries are pretty clear. You’ll be returning here throughout the game, so we’ll make sure to call any areas you have to progress past to open up these collectibles.

(From here, we’re going to make a big loop clockwise around the town.)

Head inside the building to the left of the one you just repaired. Go through the door on the far side of the room. The Collectible Treasure No. 5 – Camp Speaker is in the (shared) backyard.

Backtrack to the stairs in the southwest of Toad Town, and head up them. This Not-Bottomless Hole is at the top.

At the top of those stairs, take a left. Follow the path down and to the left to the front door of the house and the next Not-Bottomless Hole.

Not-Bottomless Hole 9 of 16

Image: Intelligent Systems/Nintendo via Polygon

Just past the top of the stairs, look for a gap in the bushes on your right. Turn and go down the stairs. Handle the Paper Macho Goomba, and you’ll be able to patch this hole on the outside of the house.

? Block 5 of 9

Continue clockwise around the town and past the (now broken) bridge into Peach’s Castle. Head into the next house — just to the right of the bridge. Hit the drawer on your left when you walk in, and use it to climb up and reach this ? Block.

Just to the right of that house, snake your way through the scaffolding to reach this Not-Bottomless Hole.

Image: Intelligent Systems/Nintendo via Polygon

Back outside, head to the right. In the seating area for the coffee shop, hit the umbrella with your hammer to release a 1,000-Fold Arms Magic Circle. Use it to pull a section of wall down.

Use the boxes on the right side of the coffee shop to climb to the roof, and then jump across to the umbrella and tab you pulled down to reach the scaffolding around the second floor. The door into the mansion is locked (and will remain locked until you find its owner much later), so continue up to the roof.

Defeat the Paper Macho Goomba on the roof to free the Sniffit inside. It’ll give you the Collectible Treasure No. 6 – Coins.

Head down to the large, red brick building and take out the Paper Macho Goomba stalking around. The Not-Bottomless Hole is on the door.

? Block 6 of 9

Image: Intelligent Systems/Nintendo via Polygon

Inside the red brick building, look for a conspicuously empty square on the ground next to the boxes on the left side. Hit this spot with your hammer to find the next ? Block.

? Block 7 of 9

Image: Intelligent Systems/Nintendo via Polygon

Back outside, head down and to the left to find some stairs. At the bottom, turn to the right, and go to the end of the path there. The next ? Block is in the dead end.

Image: Intelligent Systems/Nintendo via Polygon

Head up along the left side of the Battle Lab (the red mushroom-shaped building) and take a left to go through the almost-hidden tunnel there. On the other side, you’ll find a chest with Collectible Treasure No. 4 – Torch from Peach’s Castle inside.

? Block 8 of 9

Image: Intelligent Systems/Nintendo via Polygon

During you trip around town to collect the Manhole Hook, you’ll make your way into the second room of the red brick building (by the dock). In there, you’ll need to hit the green stairs-cart over to the right. Climb up and follow the shelves to the right to find this ? Block.

Toad Town collectibles locations – After Graffiti Underground

After a quick detour through Graffiti Underground, you’ll emerge inside what’s left of Peach’s Castle. You’ll be able to grab a couple more collectibles now.

? Block 9 of 9

As soon as you enter the ruins of Peach’s Castle, take the left path. The final ? Block in this area is at the end.

Toad 1 of 1

After you free Luigi from his intradimensional prison, you’ll be able to head to the right and out the other side of Peach’s Castle. Just as you exit, you’ll hear (read?) a voice calling from a tower. Knock down the Folded Soldier at the top, and then defeat it. You’ll get a 1,000-Fold Arms Magic Circle. Use that to pop open the tower and rescue the Toad inside.

Toad Town collectibles locations – After Picnic Road

You can only reach the final Not-Bottomless Hole after you save the Accessories Shop owner in Picnic Road.

Not-Bottomless Hole 16 of 16

Once you’ve rescued the Toad that runs the Accessories Shop, return to Toad Town and follow them inside. The Not-Bottomless Hole will be on the left.

The remaining Collectible Treasures only become available over the course the rest of the game.

Just to the north of the red brick building near the dock, there’s a hidden alley. Head through it to the right and you’ll be on a dock. Hit the barrel at the end of the dock to meet Monty Mole. After you beat each of the game’s bosses, he’ll sell you Collectible Treasures of:

• Collectible Treasure No. 7 – Colored Pencils
• Collectible Treasure No. 8 – Rubber Band
• Collectible Treasure No. 9 – Hole Punch
• Collectible Treasure No. 10 – Tape

Collectible Treasure 10 of 13 – No. 13: Log Cabin

Once you free the Toads in Shroom City (in the Sandpaper Desert), one of them — a yellow one — will return to the mansion in Toad City and unlock the upstairs door — the one we passed on our way to Collectible Treasure 2 above. Collectible Treasure No. 13: Log Cabin is in the treasure chest inside.

Collectible Treasure 11 of 13 – No. 14: Mario

Image: Intelligent Systems/Nintendo via Polygon

On your trips back to Toad Town, keep an eye on the building next to the entrance to Graffiti Underground. When you spot a Toad inside, hand him the Manhole Hook, and he’ll give you Collectible Treasure No. 14 – Mario.
