How to get to Glitzville in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Posted on May 24, 2024 by Ethan in Guides, Switch

For those playing Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, we’ve got a guide for those wondering how to get to Glitzville.

Glitzville (and by extension, the Glitz Pit) is the third area in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. After you finish up with business at the Great Tree, you’ll need to find a way to get to Glitzville in the first place. To do that, Mario needs to find a ticket that lets him ride the blimp. Normally, you’d have to ask around town and even pay certain characters to learn how to find and ask Don Pianta for a ticket. We’ve put together a list of instructions on how to get to Glitzville, including a way to get there without paying Coins to anyone.

How to get to Glitzville

If you’re wondering how to get to Glitzville in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, look no further. Enter the shop in western Rogueport. Once you’re there, purchase a Dried Shroom and then a Dizzy Dial. When the Boo shopkeeper asks you what color your mustache is, answer Yellow. The shopkeeper will ask you another question, and from there you’ll have to answer Yellow a second time. From there, you can enter Don Pianta’s house and speak to him to take on a mini-side quest of sorts. You’ll need to head to the dock in Rogueport Harbor, where you’ll find Don Pianta’s daughter as he requested. After you finish talking to them, return to Don Pianta and tell him what happened. You’ll have to sit through a cutscene, but then you can head up to the train station.

Once you get to the train station, check to the right of the pipe for a Star Piece hidden underneath a floor panel (which requires Spin Jump). There’s another one hidden underneath a floor panel near the orange female Toad over to the left. Afterward, you can set out to Glitzville!
