The '''Paper Fan''' is a [[Thing]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. It is a traditional festival ''{{wp|Hand fan#Japanese hand fan|uchiwa}}'' fan, with the kanji for "festival" (祭, ''matsuri'') printed on it. It is found behind the [[Secret Door]] in [[Yoshi Sphinx]]. Once collected, they remain in Mario's [[Album]] until they are turned into a [[sticker]] at a [[Sling-a-Thing]] station. Once they have been used as a sticker, they return to their original position. They can also be purchased from the [[Shady Toad]] for 120 [[Coin]]s.

The Paper Fan is a medium sticker, taking up two and a half squares in Mario's album. If they are used in battle, two paper fans appear and proceed to quickly sway back and forth, whipping up a whirlwind that blows enemies away and sends them back down to damage them. The player may mash {{button|3ds|a}} as the wind picks up to increase this amount.

The Paper Fan can also be placed into the [[Sticker Museum]] as #6, alongside the other wind-based Things. Its basic description refers to it as an environmentally-friendly air conditioner, while their museum description likens it to a spatula.
