History[edit]

Paper Mario series[edit]

Paper Mario[edit]

The first appearance of the Mystery in Paper Mario goes under the name Mystery? When used in battle, a roulette will appear, containing the following items, that will be used right after the roulette stops on an item:

Mysteries? can also be used for cooking, yielding a Mistake half the time, and a randomly selected one of twenty-three recipes otherwise.

Throughout the game, Mysteries? can be found in the following locations:

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a Mystery is sold for three coins at Pungent's Great Tree Shop and the Sales Stall. One Mystery can also be found in a bush in near the bridge in Petal Meadows.

When used in battle, a Mystery has the effect of one of the following items:

In the remake the selection is different:

  • Mushroom
  • Honey Syrup
  • Stopwatch
  • Repel Cape
  • Fire Flower
  • Shooting Star
  • Thunder Rage

Later chapters replace Mushroom and Honey Syrup with their upgraded forms.

If it is cooked by itself or with any other item, it makes a Mistake half the time, and otherwise a random one of twenty items, mostly cooking recipes.

Super Paper Mario[edit]

Mysteries appear under their name Mystery Boxes in Super Paper Mario. When cooked, the outcome can be random, or more commonly, a Mistake. However, the set recipe is a Miracle Dinner. The Mystery Box can be bought in Flipside Arcade for five Flipside Tokens, at the Downtown of Crag for three coins, or carried by a Lakitu. Similar to Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a random item will appear which can be any item from a Catch Card to a Thunder Rage.

A Mystery Box can contain one of the following items:

Unused appearances[edit]

Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]

The Mystery was originally set to re-appear in Paper Mario: Sticker Star for the Nintendo 3DS, as seen in early artwork, but is absent from the final game.
