==Origin of Kolorado's Star Pieces==
{{anchor|Kolorado}}
[[Kolorado]] mentions the origin of the Star Piece he gives to [[Mario]] and [[Parakarry]] for delivering his [[letter]]. However, there are several versions of the story, depending on where the letter is delivered. In the first half of the game it is from Dry Dry Desert:
*([[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Desert]]) "''I came across it while I was immersed in the dig around here.''"
*([[Toad Town|Toad Town dock]]) "''I came across it while I was researching my latest project in Dry Dry Desert.''"

In the second half it is from [[Jade Jungle]]:
*([[Lavalava Island]]) "''I came across it while I was wandering about the jungle researching things.''"
*([[Pleasant Path]]) "''I came upon it during my incredibly important research on Lavalava Island.''"
*([[Koopa Village]]) "''I found it on scenic Lavalava Island.''"

For the Star Piece he gives for the [[Artifact]], Kolorado only mentions the origin when it is given at the dock in Toad Town: "''I found it in Dry Dry Desert. I have no use for it.''"
