▷Paper Mario: The King of Origami - Saving Olivia

So what exactly does this walkthrough cover? It's about unlocking the desert beyond Sweetpaper Canyon - in order to save Olivia and reach the desert you will need to find a very special item on an abandoned cruise liner stuck in the middle of the ocean. The Princess Peach is the name of the ship, and it's a scary ship. Learn how to complete this section of the game and navigate through multiple areas while you're at it.

Princess Peach Walkthrough

Downstream from Shogun Studios, Mario and his friends arrive in the dusty dunes of Sweetpaper Valley. This abandoned canyon doesn't have much, so stop at the bench for a full heal and walk towards the entrance to the mine.

At the mine you will meet King Ollie! And he drops a giant boulder, crushing Olivia and blocking your path. You will have to find a new way around. And it's not in Sweetpaper Valley - it's time to head back to Toad Town. The fastest way is to Warp Pipe 2 in the Shogun studios.

Quest: Hitchhiking in Toad Town

Back in Toad Town, it's a good time to visit the Battle Lab - this time you'll earn the Puzzle solver! If you are already lost and need clues, access the menu with [[+] and activate Puzzle Solver in the Settings menu.

When you're ready, head to the port. Talk to the ship's captain and you will embark for the Great Sea! Instead of going for the Yellow Streamer, we're talking about another route and heading to the Purple Streamer.

On the water you can explore a lot. You are free to steer the ship anywhere, but our goal is a luxury liner called Princess Peach. Head straight and you'll be forced to spot the ship.

Quest: Obtain the Special Item on Princess Peach

The lining doesn't look so luxurious. The ship is wrecked and there are no toads anywhere! Your goal is the elevator to the main hall. He will take you to the VIP cabin where the mystery item Bobby wants awaits you.

Max HP +20 core: Found at the top of the stairs near the pool. Open the chest at the top to get that huge boost!

After collecting the +20 heart, Fire Bro enemies will appear. These tough Koopa Troopas throw fireballs, so beware of the upper world and use your strongest weapons to defeat them in a single turn.

Collectible treasure: Block - Found behind the stairs on the pool deck.

Hidden toad: In the main hall, inside the Princess Peach ship. Find this toad in the front left corner.

To progress, go to the main hall and try to use the elevator. It doesn't work - the power is cut off to the whole ship. To restore power, head to the engine room. Exit through the left door of the main hall to reach the living room, then go right to reach the stairs leading to the engine room.

In the living room, slam the back left table to break it, then use the ramp to reach the cracked glass. Break the glass and exit on the bridge, then go down to the right until the entry of the crew. Go downstairs and enter the engine room through the right door.

Hidden toad: In the lower deck, smash the cracked crate in the front right corner, in the room to the left of the engine room.
Hidden toad: In the main engine room. On the catwalk, look for a segment where the rope is broken. Use it to go down and shoot the stuck toad on the left.

How to start the engines: In the engine room, you will be ambushed by deadly Scuttlebugs near the destroyed engine panel! There is nothing special about these guys, so wipe them out and use Confetti to fix the destroyed engine machines. But, the engine lever is missing.

Collectible treasure: Super Star - Found in the control room chest.

How to find the engine lever: Go upstairs from the engine room. At the stairs, enter the room on the left. In the control room, smash the container in the front right corner to find the lever.

Insert the lever into the engine room, then strike the lever with your hammer three times to restore power. You can now return to the main hall and use the elevator to reach the VIP lounge.

On the outer deck, go to the right of the staff entrance door - you can walk over the debris to reach the main lobby. Cross the black ink and enter the VIP cabin to find what Bobby was looking for. It's in the yellow box. While Bobby tries to open it, a threat from the sea shatters the windows and runs away with the box.

Hidden toad: Outside the VIP lounge, go down the hallway to the left to find this toad stuck in the ink.

Let's go to the bow of the ship - the front of the ship! Exit the VIP lounge, go forward, then left and beat the Scuttlebug while keeping the door closed. Go down the stairs to reach the front of the ship. There you will meet the mighty Gooper Blooper.

How to beat the Gooper BlooperDodge its tentacle strikes, jump over the waves it generates then use your hammer on the ends of the tentacles before they retreat. You'll have to destroy a lot of tentacles - eventually the boss spits ink on the arena, which makes it a bit trickier. Jump to move faster in the ink!

After breaking all four tentacles, the Blooper Gooper will fall to the bridge. Avoid the waves - jump or dodge - then hit the left eye with your hammer. You will have to hit the Gooper five times to defeat him.

Now we can go back to Sweetpaper Valley and save Olivia. On your boat, press [[B] to automatically return to town. You can quickly return to Sweetpaper Valley via Warp Pipe 2 in the Toad Town Museum. At Shogun Studios, use the boat to reach Sweetpaper Valley.

Back in the valley, Bobby will tell you his whole story. Inside this locked box is its fuse. He will use it to sacrifice himself and save Olivia. It's really heavy, but it completes this section of the guide. Ahead you will enter the Breezy Tunnel.
