The '''Magical Map''' is a special treasure map in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. Prior to the events of the game, [[Black chest|four heroes]] used the [[Crystal Stars]] to defeat the [[Shadow Queen]], and after she was defeated, the Crystal Stars were hidden and kept in separate safe locations. The Magical Map was then created to help the heroes locate the Crystal Stars should they be needed again. The map was then locked in a small chest and was enchanted so it could only be opened by the pure hearted, so evil could not use it. Additionally, the heroes locked the Shadow Queen and her followers behind a large [[the Thousand-Year Door|door]], which was enchanted to only be opened with the Crystal Stars. A pedestal in front of the door shows the locations of the Crystal Stars on the Magical Map if one stands on top of it with the map in their possession, with the Crystal Stars aiding in locating the next one.

A millennium later, [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toadsworth]] stop at [[Rogueport]] to refuel their boat. During this time, a [[Beldam|merchant]] notices Peach and asks if she would like to buy something. Princess Peach notices a small treasure chest and the merchant says she can have it provided she is able to open it, as the chest only opens to those who are pure hearted. After the merchant demonstrates that she cannot open it, the chest is given to Peach. Peach is able to open the chest, which shows a bright light upon being opened, and Peach finds the Magical Map inside. Overjoyed by her discovery, Peach sends [[Mario]] a letter telling him about Rogueport and the map, additionally sending the map to Mario and telling him to meet her at Rogueport. Once Mario makes it to Rogueport and finds [[the Thousand-Year Door]], he stands on the pedestal with the map in his hand, which reveals the location of the first [[Diamond Star|Crystal Star]] to be [[Hooktail Castle]] in [[Petal Meadows]], the first stop in Mario's latest adventure.

During Mario's journey, the [[X-Naut]]s and the [[Three Shadows]] try [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 2: The Great Boggly Tree|a few]] [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 4: For Pigs the Bell Tolls|schemes]] in order to take the Magical Map from Mario's possession, but all of them fail.

On the game's menu, the map is used to show Mario's current location as well as give a brief description of places the player has visited. Additionally, the Magical Map is shown whenever Mario uses a [[Star Power#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Special Move]] during battles. When the Magical Map is on [[Professor Frankly]]'s desk, all shown locations of where the Crystal Stars are can be seen.
