Pipe Room location Paper Mario Thousand Year Door

The new remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Switch includes a brand new pipe room that lets you travel between major areas as you unlock them, and we’re letting you know how to unlock it. The original game on GameCube was beloved by fans, but one major complaint was all the backtracking you have to do. On Switch, this has now been addressed. You can access the pipe room as soon as you clear the first chapter, and you can go back after clearing every subsequent chapter to unlock a new shortcut pipe to that chapter’s corresponding area.

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.

Paper Mario Thousand-Year Door Nostalgic Tunes badge change music

Hot off the heels of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door’s launch on Switch, we’re telling how to change music in the game with the Nostalgic Tunes badge.

Although this new version of the RPG is generally rather light on new content, there are a few new additions here and there. One such addition is the option to change the game’s music. The Switch remake has its own remixed soundtrack that plays by default, but by following a few steps you can opt to switch back to the original game’s unaltered music. This comes in the form of the Nostalgic Tunes Badge, which can be equipped or unequipped anytime and doesn’t cost any Badge Points to use.

how to beat cohozuna Splatoon 3

A little while ago, we published guides on how to beat both Horrorboros and Megalodontia in Splatoon 3. This time, it’s time to talk about how to beat Cohozuna, the original King Salmonid that’s been present in Splatoon 3 ever since its launch.

Whereas Horrorboros is generally the easiest King Salmonid to defeat right now and Megalodontia is the most difficult, Cohozuna lies somewhere in between. It doesn’t have any particular weak spot, so the fight all comes down to how fast you can defeat other Boss Salmonids and how well you can aim your Golden Egg cannon. If you’re looking for tips and tricks on how to beat Cohozuna, then let’s get right into our guide.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet 7 Star Primarina Guide

The 7 Star Primarina Tera Raid Battle event for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is now live, and we’ve put together a guide explaining the best counters you can bring to take it down and claim its rewards for yourself. 

The new 7 Star Primarina event lasts until May 12, and it comes back from May 17 to 19. Primarina’s Tera Type is Fairy, and it knows Sparkling Aria, Moonblast, Psychic, and Sing. It also knows Encore and Surf as secondary moves. This Pokemon doesn’t actually boost its stats for this battle, but it does have some rather annoying status moves that we’ve prepared for. This is one of the easier 7 Star Tera Raid Battles, but you should still get ready as best you can.

Splatoon 3 guides

Today, we’re rounding up our full collection of Splatoon guides all in one place. We’ve categorized them into two sections; guides for the base game and guides for Side Order.

Splatoon 3 is still going strong – presumably until September, when its new content schedule may come to a close – but it’s still worth playing even beyond that date! Splatoon is easy to learn, but difficult to master, and there are plenty of modes to master. We’ve got guides on the ranked modes, Splatfests, Salmon Run, Big Run, and even their respective King Salmonid bosses. If you’re looking for some Splatoon tips and tricks, you’ve come to the right place.

Splatoon 3 Tower Control

Tower Control is one of the tougher ranked modes available in Splatoon 3. Hence its name, the mode is centered around a tower that first appears at the center of the stage. As usual, Tower Control is a lot easier when you have the ability to coordinate with a team of friends over voice chat. Whether you have access to that option or not, we’ve put together a list of tips to help you get better at the game.

Splat Zones Splatoon 3

Splat Zones is perhaps the most competitive of the ranked modes in Splatoon 3. A decent chunk of top-level tournaments are actually held in this mode, which means you’re a bit more likely to find higher-skilled players practicing it on the ranked ladder. Today, we’ve written up a guide aimed at casual players and beginners explaining the ins and outs of the mode.

shiny locked pokemon

Shiny hunting is one of the best ways to squeeze additional hours out of Pokemon games. Almost every single Pokemon is obtainable in its Shiny form in one way or another. That being said, there are a handful of Pokemon – mostly of the Legendary and Mythical varieties – that are completely unavailable in this form without hacking. If you’re curious, we’ve compiled a list of every Shiny locked Pokemon in 2024.

Splatoon 3 Rainmaker Guide

There are four main ranked modes in Splatoon 3: Splat Zones, Tower Control, Clam Blitz, and Rainmaker. Today, we’re looking at the latter. Generally speaking, Rainmaker is easier to understand (and coordinate) than Clam Blitz. Of all the ranked modes in the game, Rainmaker matches have the potential to end quicker than all the others.
