List of hidden Toads in Paper Mario: The Origami King

Display of folded Toads in the Musée Champignon

“You've found—and unfolded—all of the plants, animals and origami objects made from Toads. What a collection!”

—Musée Champignon, Paper Mario: The Origami King

In Paper Mario: The Origami King, Mario can rescue Toads throughout the different streamer areas, receiving Toad Points in the process. These Toads are found in various forms; most commonly they are folded into origami, stuffed into small holes, or trapped behind or beneath objects. Mario can typically rescue the Toads by either using his hammer to unfold them, pulling on them, or using a Magic Circle. Rescuing all the Toads in a given area will show a message informing the player of their success. This page lists the locations of all 416 hidden Toads, including pictures and information on what form they are found in.

NOTES:

• Some Toads are trapped in areas that are inaccessible until returning later; these entries are highlighted in beige.
• Locations absent from the list have no Toads to rescue, specifically: Eddy River, Sweetpaper Valley, Fire Vellumental Cave, Scuffle Island, Diamond Island, Ice Vellumental Mountain, Spring of Jungle Mist, Spring of Rainbows, Bowser's Castle, Hotfoot Crater, and Origami Castle.
• Although The Great Sea has no Toads to rescue, the Toad's BBQ Foodeatery caretaker is found in a Big Shell retrieved here.
