Talk to Kamekand it will lead you to the entrance to Bowser's Castle. Too bad the doors are guarded by a thunder beast. After the cutscene, Bowser Jr. will be sliced ​​up by the Zone Guardian. Bring its coins to the purification source just outside the entrance to the area.


In the spring of purification, you will have to defeat a gang of bent soldiers, including Chargin 'Chuck. Use flashy weapons to defeat them - otherwise they're pretty tough and they can defeat Mario in two rounds.

Bowser Jr. will be soaking in the spring, but he's not totally fixed. To fully heal Bowser Jr., you will need to visit all sources in the Shangri-Spa. You can do these operations in any order, so let's get started.

  • Collectible treasure: Water Vellumental Idol - On the left side of the hub, in the front left corner, there is a ledge that you can descend to with a chest.
  • Collectible treasure: Fire Vellumental Idol - On the left side, behind the two stores, look for a lower path hidden in the ledge that leads to a secret platform. This will take you to the Floating Island with this chest.

In this area there are four sniffits that manage the different stores. To reopen the shops, you'll need to find those lazy snifits.

Paper Mario: The Origami King - Visit the 5 Hot Springs | Shangri-Spa walkthrough
All Snifit locations:
  • Snifit # 1 (Souvenir shop): Near the platform leading to the Spring of Jungle Mist, look left for a path leading to the roofs of the store stalls. A Snifit sleeps on the roof.
  • Snifit # 2 (Legendary Shop): On the bridge to the Jungle Mist Source, remove this snifit from the wooden planks.
  • Snifit # 3 (Heart Shop): On the right side, hit the umbrella near the green shop to reveal this little guy. He sells a MAX UP Heart +10 for 10000 coins.
  • Snifit # 4 (Accessories): Go to Bowser's Castle in Shangri-Spa and look for a platform on the right side. This will take you to a small island with a Snifit. Talk to him and bring him back to his booth!

Quest: Dive into the Spring of Bliss



Let's start with the Spring of Bliss. Check out the maps of the area if you get lost, but this source goes through the upper right deck of Fountain Square. The spa is way too hot to use, you will need to repair it first.

  • Collectible treasure: Shangri-Spa Fountain - A shy guy will ask you to buy it for 10 coins on the way to the Source of Bliss.

How to repair the spa: Enter the spa building and walk around behind the thermal pool. There is a cracked wall in the background - jump through it and use confetti to fix the blue pipe. You can now use the hot spring. Don't forget to get your tampon!

Quest: Soak in Sanctuary Spring

The third spa is directly below the central fountain square. Nothing too complicated here - just defeat the Goombas in a wave battle to clear the area and soak!

Quest: Dive into the Jungle Mist Spring

Another spring to do. The final spring is on the upper left path of the hub fountain.

  • Collectible treasure: Sea Tower - Another minion will ask Mario for money on the way to the source of the jungle mist. It costs 10 coins.
  • Collectible treasure: Water Buckets - After walking a platform to the source of the jungle mist, climb up to the second platform on the left.

Upon entering the Jungle Mist Source, you will discover that it is an entire sub-dungeon. The bridge is out, so cross the plants to the left of the broken bridge to reach the inner jungles.

Paper Mario: The Origami King - Visit the 5 Hot Springs | Shangri-Spa walkthrough

How to navigate the jungle: Oddly enough, you have to follow Kamek's advice! Follow his path - wherever he suggests, you must go. Don't listen to Olivia this time.

  • Collectible treasure: Bowser Jr. - At the second crossroads in Kamek, go right and look for a breakable spot in the jungle wall. Go through and solve the memory game to spawn a 1000 arms. Use it to mark this chest.
  • Collectible treasure: Sweet Sap Loggins - On a large stump blocked by a bottomless hole. Fix the hole with confetti - it's right after the previous collector's item.

At the dead end, you will come across a swarm of Piranha plants. Use iron boots to defeat these enemies and eliminate the group of three to spawn a Magic circle of 1000 arms. Use it to climb trees and narrowly dodge a Paper Macho Chain Chomp!

As you continue deeper into the jungle you will come across Ninji (only use boots!) and Macho Piranha paper plants. If they catch you, press [B] to escape. We're almost on the other side - at the next fork, follow Kamek and be ready to run away from the Chain Chomp! Keep moving forward and you will reach the other side of the bridge.

  • Collectible treasure: Stamp Booth - At the base of the huge tree, repair the bottomless holes with confetti to reach this chest.
Paper Mario: The Origami King - Visit the 5 Hot Springs | Shangri-Spa walkthrough

At the foot of the giant tree, you will see that the ladder is too high. To solve this problem, you need to find two sheets of green paper nearby and hit them with Mario's hammer. Hit the two leaves to reveal a 1000 arm symbol, and you will bring up the real symbol.

  • Sheet n ° 1: To the left of the scale. Go right and go up the ledge, then leave behind the brown tree trunk to find this leaf.
  • Sheet n ° 2: Right next to the ladder. Stand under the ladder and look to the right.

Use Magic circle that appears after you flip both sheets to lower the ladder. Climb the giant tree and use the save block on the way up.

  • Collectible treasure: Kamek - At the top of the ladder and on the second screen of the giant tree, go left to find a hidden path with this chest.

In the tree, Chain Chomp will continue to hunt Mario! Keep running and climbing until you reach a vine that launches buddies on the island with the fourth hot spring.

Paper Mario: The Origami King - Visit the 5 Hot Springs | Shangri-Spa walkthrough

How to fix the hot spring: This hot spring is broken too! You need to plug the hole - the plug itself is at the top of the tree. Go to the left of the tree and go around to the back. Pull the vine to the left, behind the tree, and use the magic circle that appears! Put the plug in place to repair the spring.

This completes the four springs. Talk to the servant in the lower left of the spa island to return to the hub. If you have all your stamps, you can access the special VIP room.

Quest: Soak in the VIP Spa

Bower Jr. has just lost all of his color. To finally repair it, return to the Shangri-Spa hub and return your fuel [[Stamp card]at the reception. In exchange, you will get the [[Rainbow Spring - VIP]menu. Return to the Fountain Square and look for the hidden entrance.

Rainbow Spring Secret Entrance: Meet in the shops to the left of the Place de la Fontaine. To the left of the recliners is an optional path through the bushes that leads to a ledge with stairs. Go down the stairs and show your VIP pass to enter.

Inside the Rainbow Spring, dodge enemies and move straight to the lifting platform. Avoid steam jets!

  • MAX HP +10 core: At the platform raised by the steam, go left and smash the cracked wall. Break three icicles to add pressure to the platform's steam vent, giving you enough lift to reach the chest.

Outside the cave you will come to a green pipe. But it's covered! So you will need to shimmy along the outside instead. On the ledge, press [[B] to grab the ledge when the wind picks up. Only very strong winds will knock you down. Take it slow and you'll come to the end - remove the sticker from the green pipe to join Kamek again. Don't forget the backup block here!

Paper Mario: The Origami King - Visit the 5 Hot Springs | Shangri-Spa walkthrough

To the right of the green pipe, use your hammer on the door shaped rock to enter the secret hot spring. Inside you won't find a spring, you'll find a weird game show hosted by Shy Guy. To win you will have to earn 100 points.

How to beat the game Shy Guy: There are four mini-games. If you're lucky, you will only need to complete two 50-point games. Each is randomly generated, but I can provide answers to games that I managed to complete.

  • Q: Race N ’Place Lvl. 2
