In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] on the [[Nintendo Switch]], Boo's Mansion (though referred to only as "the mansion") is briefly mentioned by Bow, who appears alongside Bootler in [[Poshley Heights]] in the post-game. Wishing to get away from the mansion after spending so much time there, Bow and Bootler decided on Poshley Heights as a vacation destination.

Mario is invited to the mansion at the beginning of Chapter 3 in ''Paper Mario''. When he approaches the Forever Forest entrance in [[Toad Town]], Bootler appears and tells him that Lady Bow has important news regarding the [[Star Spirit]]s and wishes to see him. <!--At that time, the [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s near Forever Forest's entrance in Toad Town begin to talk about Boo's Mansion. <ref>Game dialogue: "''People around here think that there's a huge ghost mansion deep within Forever Forest. Full of Boos, people say. And get this: according to the rumors, there's even a cute princess-like ghost in there! People will say anything! How would they know if this ghost princess was cute?''" ~ A blue Toad near Fice T.</ref>--> After Mario travels through Forever Forest and arrives at the mansion, he is told to see Lady Bow on the third floor; however, the stairs in the foyer only lead to the second floor. Mario must solve a series of puzzles and traps to get to the third floor:

Upon the liberation of the Boos, the background music in Boo's Mansion is replaced with a cheerful tune. Once Tubba Blubba is defeated and Skolar is freed, Bow decides to stay with Mario. At the end of the game, Lady Bow returns to Boo's Mansion after her adventure with Mario, and receives an invitation to [[Princess Peach]]'s party at [[Peach's Castle]] to celebrate the return of the Star Spirits. A pipe in the [[Toad Town Tunnels]] can be unlocked to teleport Mario directly outside the mansion. This is helpful as one of [[Koopa Koot]]'s favors and [[Parakarry]]'s letter delivery side-quests involve interacting with Franky in the mansion.  

The clearing in front of the mansion connects to [[Forever Forest]] via the fence and [[Gusty Gulch]] via the back gate. The latter is opened after Bow joins Mario's party.  In the clearing, there is a [[? Block]] containing a [[Volt Mushroom|Volt Shroom]] and a bush growing [[Strange Leaf|Strange Leaves]]. There is also a pipe from [[Toad Town Tunnels]], which can be unlocked later in the game. Finally, by the front side of the mansion are a [[Save Block]] and a [[Heart Block]].

Inside the mansion, the foyer is a big room that spans three floors, with doors to other rooms to the north. There is a sofa that shoots Mario to the chandelier. An underground [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]] can be found near the sofa; however, there are only stairs up to the second-floor corridor, at the end of which is an empty frame. According to the frame, Mario must find whatever is missing in it to get to the third floor. {{br}}

[[File:PM Star Piece BoosMansionRecord.png|thumb|200px|The east room on the second floor.]]

The west room on the second floor contains a phonograph and a [[treasure chest]]. A Boo is told to guard the treasure chest by Bow. By playing the Record with the phonograph at the right pace, Mario is able to lure the Boo away and get the [[Weight]] inside the treasure chest. The Boo then disappears. The room also has a table and some chairs. {{br}}

The west room on the first floor is blocked by a glass case, which can be moved by attaching the [[Weight]] to the chandelier in the foyer. The treasure chest in the room is a trap. Going down the stairs by the left wall leads to a basement room with a clock and an underground Star Piece. To the right of the basement entrance is a library. To the south is a pair of storage rooms.

The first storage room has some crates on the ground, one of which contains a [[Super Mushroom|Super Shroom]]. There is a one-way door to the right, leading to the second storage room. The second storage room has a big treasure chest containing the [[Super Boots]]. Mario must play the same game with the Boos that come out of the chest to get the boots. Once he gets them, the Boos disappear, and another Boo appears and readily informs Mario how he can use the boots to get the underground Star Piece in front of him. There are also crates containing a [[Maple Syrup]]. To exit the room, Mario must break the wooden boards on the ground with the Super Boots to fall to the area even lower. In this lower area is [[Boo's Shop]], run by [[Igor]]. The shop remains closed for Mario until Bow joins his party. There are also switches, and pressing them will reveal the stairs that lead to the first storage room. This gives Mario a way to go back.

Back in the foyer, the east room on the first floor has a vase containing an 8-bit easter egg as well as several crates where [[Apple]]s can be found. By breaking the wooden floor on the ground with the Super Boots, Mario is able to land on the bookshelves in the library room mentioned earlier. On top of the bookshelves is the [[Boo's Portrait]]. Mario can also jump from the bookshelves to the stacked crates nearby and break them, where he can find a Star Piece. {{br}}

[[File:PM Skolar Prison.png|thumb|200px|Lady Bow, Bootler, and the imprisoned [[Skolar]].]]

The large, throne room on the third floor is where Lady Bow and Bootler reside, and where the Star Spirit [[Skolar]] is temporarily imprisoned. After Mario solves the puzzles and gets there, he will be greeted by the two. Bow wants Mario to defeat Tubba Blubba and promises to free Skolar if he does so. She also says that Mario needs her help and joins Mario's party. Bootler intends to follow and protect Bow, but Bow insists that he waits here for her return, which he does. Mario and Bow then leave Boo's Mansion and set off for Tubba Blubba's Castle.

After Tubba Blubba is defeated near Windy Mill, Bootler releases Skolar from his captivity in the room. After this, Bootler remains in the room worrying about Bow's safety and waiting for her return. The room is seen again at the end of the game, this time with Bootler giving Bow an invitation letter to the party at [[Peach's Castle]]. {{br}}

*The right room on the first floor contains a vase. If Mario [[jump]]s into this vase, he will pop back out as an 8-bit sprite. This lasts until Mario jumps back into the vase or leaves the room, and it is worthy of note that playable 8-bit characters are somewhat of a running joke in [[Genre#Role-playing|role-playing game]]s of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], having additionally been featured in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' (which predates ''Paper Mario''). However unlike ''Super Mario RPG'' in which it could only be performed once, in ''Paper Mario'' the 8-bit Mario trick is repeatable.
