In the area where [[Mario]] gets the [[Super Hammer]], the Artifact can be found behind a [[Stone Block]]. It can be given to [[Kolorado]] at any time and in exchange, Kolorado will give Mario a [[Star Piece (Paper Mario)|Star Piece]].
 
It is never actually specified what the origins of the Artifact are. However, it seems to be somehow related to the mystery of [[Dry Dry Ruins]], as [[Kolorado]] mentions when Mario hands it over to him.
