A '''Mystery''' is an item found in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. 

==History==
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
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:
*{{PM item|game=PM|Mushroom|size=25x25px}}
*{{PM item|game=PM|Super Shroom|link=Super Mushroom|size=25x25px}}
*{{PM item|game=PM|Fire Flower|size=25x25px}}
*{{PM item|game=PM|Stone Cap|size=25x25px}}
*{{PM item|game=PM|Dizzy Dial|size=25x25px}}
*{{PM item|game=PM|Thunder Rage|size=25x25px}}
*{{PM item|game=PM|Pebble|size=25x25px}} - Hurts [[Mario]] for 1 [[Heart Point|HP]]

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:

* In a [[List of hidden blocks in Paper Mario|hidden block]] in the north of the Shy Guy Playground in the blue area of [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]].
* In a hidden block on the beach of [[Lavalava Island]].
* On a platform in the third lava/moving platform area in [[Bowser's Castle]].
* On sale for 1 coin each at [[Boo's Shop]].
* On sale for 5 coins each at the [[Storehouse]].
* Dropped by enemies such as [[Groove Guy]]s and [[Duplighost]]s.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', a '''Mystery''' is sold for three [[coin]]s 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]]. Items marked with a [[File:Nintendo GameCube symbol.svg|15px|link=Nintendo GameCube]] only appear in the GameCube version.

When used in battle, a Mystery has the effect of one of the following items:
*{{PM item|game=TTYD|Dried Shroom|link=Dried Mushroom|size=25x25px}} [[File:Nintendo GameCube symbol.svg|15px|link=Nintendo GameCube]]
*{{PM item|game=TTYD|Mushroom|size=25x25px}}{{footnote|main|1}}

*{{PM item|game=TTYD|Honey Syrup|size=25x25px}}{{footnote|main|1}}

*{{PM item|game=TTYD|Slow Shroom|link=Slow Mushroom|size=25x25px}} [[File:Nintendo GameCube symbol.svg|15px|link=Nintendo GameCube]]

*{{PM item|game=TTYD|Repel Cape|size=25x25px}}
*{{PM item|game=TTYD|Stop Watch|size=25x25px}}
*{{PM item|game=TTYD|Fire Flower|size=25x25px}}
*{{PM item|game=TTYD|Shooting Star|link=Shooting Star (item)|size=25x25px}}
*{{PM item|game=TTYD|Thunder Rage|size=25x25px}}
{{footnote|note|1|In the Nintendo Switch remake, only the Mushroom and Honey Syrup appear at first before being replaced 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 [[Recipes|cooking recipes]].

====''Super Paper Mario''====
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 Token]]s, at the [[Downtown of Crag]] for three coins, or carried by a [[Lakitu]]. Similar to ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', a roulette will cycle through a random selection of various items, and the item chosen is subsequently used.

A Mystery Box can contain one of the following items:
