Mysteries? can also be used for cooking, yielding a [[Mistake]] half the time, and a randomly selected one of twenty-three recipes otherwise.
These items can also be used for cooking, but the player must be aware that the item used in the recipe will be random, so the item may generate a [[Mistake]] if the player is unlucky.


Throughout the game, Mysteries? can be found in the following locations:
Such items are on sale at [[Boo's Shop]] and the [[Storehouse|Bowser's Castle shop]]. They can also be found in a [[List of hidden blocks in Paper Mario|hidden block]] in the Shy Guy playground of [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]], in a hidden block near the shores of [[Lavalava Island]], and in the lava area of [[Bowser's Castle]].


* 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]].
===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
* In a hidden block on the beach of [[Lavalava Island]].
[[File:Mystery_SPM.png|frame]]
* On a platform in the third lava/moving platform area in [[Bowser's Castle]].
In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', '''Mystery''' is sold for three [[coin]]s at the [[Sales Stall]] and the [[Pungent's Shop]]. When used in battle, a Mystery makes a completely random item appear that could be anything from a [[Poison Mushroom#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Poison Shroom]] to an [[Ultra Shroom]] to a [[Shooting Star (item)|Shooting Star]]. If it is cooked with a [[Point Swap]], it makes [[Recipes|any recipe]]. One Mystery can also be found in a bush in near the bridge in [[Petal Meadows]].
* 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''====
===''Super Paper Mario''===
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]].
'''Mystery Boxes''' appear under their current name 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]].


When used in battle, a Mystery has the effect of one of the following items:
===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
*[[Dried Mushroom]]
The Mystery Box was originally set to re-appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], as seen in early artwork. However, this item was [[List of Paper Mario: Sticker Star pre-release and unused content|removed for unknown reasons]].
*[[Mushroom]]
*[[Ultra Mushroom]]
*[[Honey Syrup]]
*[[Jammin' Jelly]]
*[[Volt Mushroom]]
*[[Slow Mushroom]]
*[[Gradual Syrup]]
*[[Repel Cape]]
*[[Stop Watch|Stopwatch]]
*[[Fire Flower]]
*[[Shooting Star (item)|Shooting Star]]
*[[Thunder Rage]]
 
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 [[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 random item will appear which can be any item from a [[Catch Card]] to a [[Thunder Rage]].

*[[Shroom Shake]]
*[[Super Shroom Shake]]
*[[Shell Shock (item)|Shell Shock]]
