Cheat: Yoshi's color
When naming a game, use a color for your name and Yoshi will be that color.

Unlockable: Ms. Mowz
Take the trouble center quest that is given by a person marked as “???”. Once you get the badge on top of the cook’s shop the mouse thief will join your team.

Hint: Easy Money
Once you've gotten to PetalBurg in the First Chapter you can use a trick to make easy money. First go to RougePort and buy as many sleepy sheep as you can carry, making sure to fill up your storage box aswell. When your pockets and storage box is full, head over to PetalBurg. Once at Petalburg, go into the Item Shop to sell your sleepy sheep for a 2 coin profit per sheep. Make sure you remember to withdraw and sell all the sleepy sheep you stored. To increase productivity, on the way back to rougueport, stock up on turtley leaves, again filling up the storage box, and sell them at the item shop where you picked up the sleepy sheep to gain 2 coins per leaf.
Hint: After getting Taste T. you can cook the leaves into koopa tea for an extra 1 coin per leaf.

Hint: Extra Clothes
There are 3 extra cloths Mario can wear, his only changes marios clothing color, not his physical appearance.
If you collect the W Emblem badge from Charlieton, the traveling salesman, equip it to change into Wario's clothes.
If you collect the L Emblem badge from Poshley Sanctum, equip it to change into Luigi's clothes.
Equip both the W and L Emblem badges to change into Waluigi's Clothes.

In the game, there are two Emblem badges. They are the W Emblem, and the L Emblem. Finding these badges is tough. Equipping the W Emblem will make Mario use Wario's Costume. Equipping the L Emblem will make Mario use Luigi's Costume.During Chapter 4, Charlieton (The BIG guy in Rogueport Plaza, South of the cook's house.) will sell the W Emblem for 360 coins.

It is rumored that equipping the W and L Emblems at the same time will unlock Waluigi's costume, but it's a rumor, so don't get mad if it DOESN'T work.


Hint: Infinite Shop Points
First you will have to have given Zest T. her new contact lense. Then buy a lot of mushrooms at the shop in RoguePort for 5 coins each. Then cook them all into Shroom Frys at Zest T.'s. You can sell the Shroom Frys back for 5 coins, the same price you paid for the mushrooms. Using this you can gain free shop points. Note: This trick only works once you have Zest T.

Hint: Style
Directly after a hammer attack, or at the highest point after a jump attack, tap A again and Mario will do a stylish trick earning him more star points. This works for his allies as well. Tap A directly after doing Koops shell throw and he will spin on his back earning more style.

Hint: Whack a Mole
In chapter 5 on Keelhaul Key, walk to the northwest of the camp. Talk to the mole and hit him with your hammer he will leave behind a bump, get the bump. You can leave the area and go back there again to repeat this. You can sell the bump at the store for 50 bucks.

Easter Egg: Turn into NES Mario
Just like in the first Paper Mario, there is an easter egg to revert Mario from paper to 8-bit sprite. Only this time it works on your partners too! In the X-Naut Base in Chapter Seven. Find the room with the swinging grate on Sublevel 2. Stand under it and use your Ultra Jump to jump up into the air vent. Press R and slide through the grate on the far right. You'll land in the changing room where Peach disguised herself, inside one of the stalls. When you pull back the curtain, you and your partner will be a sprite. This change does not affect game play and will wear off when you leave the room.
