All ingredient locations in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

For those playing Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, we’ve put together a full list of ingredients with their locations.

If you’re looking to eventually 100 percent complete the game, you’re going to have to cook a lot. There are ingredients in just about every major area in the game, and we’ve put together a complete list. Get ready to cook – and get ready to backtrack – because you’ll need to do a whole lot of both to fully complete Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and all of its content.

Ingredient locations list

Here is the full list of ingredient locations in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Though many of them can be purchased directly from shops, a few important ones are only obtainable once per visit from certain NPCs after fulfilling certain conditions. If you’re trying to obtain all 58 Recipes in the game, you’re going to have to do a lot of backtracking and a lot of Trouble Center requests, too.

• Mushroom: Purchased in the central Rogueport shop.
• Super Mushroom: Purchased in the west Rogueport shop.
• Ultra Mushroom: Purchased from Charlieton in Rogueport and from the shop in Rogueport Sewers. This is one of the more difficult ingredient locations, as the Ultra Mushroom generally costs more than 120 Coins no matter where you buy them.
• Dried Mushroom: Purchased in the west Rogueport shop.
• Life Mushroom: Purchased in the Twilight Town shop.
• Slow Mushroom: Purchased at the shop at Rogueport Sewers.
• Volt Mushroom: Purchased in the west Rogueport shop.
• Honey Syrup: Purchased in the central Rogueport shop.
• Maple Syrup: Purchased at the shop in Twilight Town.
• Gradual Syrup: Purchased from the shop at Rogueport Sewers.
• Jammin’ Jelly: Purchased from Charlieton in Rogueport and from the shop in Rogueport Sewers. Another one of trickier ingredient locations since this one is really expensive too!
• Fire Flower: Purchased in the central Rogueport shop.
• Cake Mix: Purchased in the Pianta Parlor for 7 Piantas.
• Dried Bouquet: Bring Bub-ulber a Hot Dog from Glitzville any time after completing his Trouble Center request to receive a Dried Bouquet.
• Courage Shell: Purchased from the Petalburg shop.
• Horsetail: Head to Petalburg and then go left until you pass the bridge. At the right edge of this screen is a hill with eyes that you can hammer 10 times to receive a Horsetail. You can leave the screen, come back, and hammer it again 10 times to receive more.
• Turtley Leaf: Head to Petalburg and hammer one of the trees next to Mayor Kroop’s house. The specific plant the Turtley Leaf is in varies per visit, but it will always be in one of them.
• Mystic Egg: One of the tricker ingredient locations – return to the Great Tree after completing Chapter 2 and speak to Petuni. You have to ask her “Mario likes which person most?” and she will give you a Mystic Egg once per visit. Any other question won’t work.
• Hot Sauce: After completing the Security Code Trouble Center request, a blue rat will appear in Glitzville. You can buy Hot Sauce for 10 Coins each from him.
• Point Swap: Not a cooking ingredient in the traditional sense, but Point Swap is used in many recipes and it is sold in Glitzville.
• Peachy Peach: Stay at the Twilight Town inn and you will receive one afterward.
• Keel Mango: Head to Keelhaul Key and hammer a palm tree in the section to the right of the shop area to receive one!
• Coconut: Go to Keelhaul Key and enter the pipe in the area with a bridge. You can hammer down up to two coconuts from that tree per visit.
• Whacka Bump: Go to Keelhaul Key and then head to the very first screen of the area with the shortcut to Pirate’s Grotto. At the northwest corner of this area is Whacka, who you can smack with a hammer to receive a Whacka Bump.
• Fresh Pasta: You can buy this from a cart at Poshley Heights for 50 Coins.

With access to all these ingredient locations, you’ll be able to cook every single recipe in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. You can learn new recipes by reading emails that Mario receives throughout his adventure. There are a total of 58 Recipes to unlock, and many of them restore tons of health and FP – which makes them perfect for things like the Pit of 100 Trials. Unfortunately, many of the ingredients can only be obtained once per visit, which means you’ll be doing a whole lot of backtracking. If you haven’t unlocked the pipe room yet, check out our guide on how to do that first.
