List of Paper Mario: The Origami King Glitches

Fishing storage

Used in case of images missing from a section gallery, table, bestiary box, or certain infoboxes.

File:PMTOK Fishing Storage Glitch.png

Fishing storage allows the player to hold the fishing rod outside of the restriction of the docks. Due to how loading zones work, this glitch is limited to: Overlook Mountain, Shogun Studios, and Full Moon Island. Despite this limit, this glitch is very potent due to the fishing rod having collision while held by Mario, the ability to quit fishing while catching something, and the ability to return to the dock by pressing at any time, regardless of what actions are taking place.

Methods

There are multiple methods of initiating fishing storage, all of which involve teetering:

Digging with Professor Toad First method discovered.

Reading the Sea Chart

Item Menu

Talking with Oliva

Effects

Mario floating across the air.
Mario relocating a Toad.
Mario clipping through the door to Big Sho Theater.
Mario moonwalking after ending fishing storage on a ladder.
A Collectible Treasure suspended in midair.
An interrupted loading sequence, revealing how the game manipulates different assets.
Mario walking inside a loading zone.
Mario initiating a battle while using a Magic Circle

Weapon slot manipulation

The section in memory that stores Mario's party members and the section that stores Mario's equipped weapons are only separated by 4 empty bytes. By gaining a fifth partner, partner information buffer overflows into the first slot of the equipped weapons section, which the game reinterprets as the item obtained at a certain point by Mario.

For example: if Kamek (P_KMK internally) joins as the fifth partner, "K" exceeds the 4 byte buffer and overwrites the first equipped weapon slot. This is reinterpreted as 76 when converted to a number, meaning the 76th item Mario obtained will replace his Basic Hammer.

? Block locations

A ? Block as a Collectible Treasure.

“You've found—and hit—each and every ? Block in the game. Now tell us...which one was your favorite?”

—Musée Champignon, Paper Mario: The Origami King

In Paper Mario: The Origami King, Mario can find ? Blocks throughout the different Streamer areas, receiving various rewards when struck open. Typically, Mario can use his hammer or jump into the blocks from below, however some blocks are hidden or folded in the case of Origami Castle. This page lists the locations of all 369^* ? Blocks, including pictures and information on their contents.

NOTES:

Only 5 of the 173 ? Blocks found on ? Island are required to satisfy game completion. Thus a total of 193 ? Blocks contribute to the ? Block Head Trophy.^*
Some ? Blocks are found in areas that are inaccessible until returning later; these entries are highlighted in beige.
Hidden Blocks will be marked with a Hidden Block Alert icon.
Locations absent from the list contain no ? Blocks.
