The events that caused Port Prisma to be damaged and the [[black paint]]'s creation are explained through the Big Paint Stars' memories told throughout the game, each viewable after rescuing the respective Big Paint Star. One day, a group of Toads were playing with [[paint]] at the [[Prisma Fountain]]. [[Bowser]] observed the Toads playing from the top of a building, and jumped down into the fountain after imagining himself with a rainbow shell. However, while spinning in the Prisma Fountain, Bowser mixed the colors around, creating black paint which possessed him. Shortly after this, a fleet of airships carrying paint buckets arrives to Port Prisma, and a swarm of Slurp Guys deploys from them to drain the town of its colors. They then take the red, blue and yellow paint to the buckets on each airship. The ships with the yellow and blue paint, while the one with red paint stays in the town, presumably being the same airship Mario rides before entering the [[Crimson Tower]]. During this invasion, the [[Toadmaster General]] is taken out of [[Prisma Postal Toad]] and drained of its colors, folded into an envelope, and given to Kamek, to then send it to [[Princess Peach]] to lure her to [[Prism Island]]. Meanwhile, a group of [[Bob-Omb |Bob-ombs]] destroy the bridge in the Yellow District, which stops a yellow Toad from running away as a Slurp Guy drains him. Bowser then throws the six Big Paint Stars away from Port Prisma, as a red Mini Paint Star is shown to fall out of the red Big Paint Star onto the big building near the fountain. | The events that caused Port Prisma to be damaged and the [[black paint]]'s creation are explained through the Big Paint Stars' memories told throughout the game, each viewable after rescuing the respective Big Paint Star.

One stormy night, [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toad]] meet [[Mario]] at [[Mario Bros.' House|his house]] to deliver a strange [[letter]]: [[Toadmaster General|a Toad drained of his colors]]. Mario, who is initially shocked by the revelation, then realizes that the stamp on the letter points to [[Prism Island]], where the three then travel to. Upon arriving, they find [[Port Prisma]] deserted and full of [[Colorless spot|spots drained of color]]. After some exploration of Port Prisma, They activate the fountain, which releases a 3D paint can. After Mario tries hammering the paint can, it wakes up and is revealed to be [[Huey]], who is initially annoyed by Mario hitting him in his sleep. Huey calms down shortly after, but he, Mario, and Princess Peach are then startled by the sound of Toad screaming. | One stormy night, [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toad]] meet [[Mario]] at [[Mario Bros.'

Huey calms down shortly after, but he, Mario, and Princess Peach are then startled by the sound of Toad screaming. The three head to the yellow district of [[Port Prisma]], and find Toad being drained by a [[Slurp Guy]]. Toad, just before being fully drained, gives Mario a set of [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|Battle Card]]s that they found. Mario and Huey then proceed to fight the Slurp Guy, but then realize that they do not have any paint. Realizing this, Huey asks Mario to wring him in order to gain paint to battle the [[Shy Guy]]s. This results in Huey turning into paper. Mario later uses this paint throughout the entire game to repaint the colorless spots across Prism Island, including the local Toads. After defeating the Slurp Guy and repainting Toad, the group head back to the central district of Port Prisma, where Huey discovers that the [[Big Paint Star]]s at [[Prisma Fountain]] are gone. Huey, initially sad, then sees a Big Paint Star at the top of Port Prisma. After climbing up there, and unwinding the roll blocking the Paint Star, it is revealed that the Paint Star was actually a [[Mini Paint Star]], not a Big Paint Star.

First, they pass through [[Ruddy Road]] and re-paint a red [[Mini Paint Star]] to unlock [[Cherry Lake]], learning the [[Cutout]] ability and collecting 3D real-world objects called Things. They find out that Bowser has stolen the paint from [[the Crimson Tower]], where {{Morton}} is keeping a Big Paint Star captive. To open the gate, they must find the three [[Chosen Toads]]: [[Justice Toad]] at Cherry Lake, [[Surfing Kinopio]] at [[Bloo Bay Beach]], and the [[Mountain Sage]] at [[Daffodil Peak]]. Additionally, Mario learns about the [[Unfurl Block|Unfurl]] ability at Daffodil Peak and assembles the green and purple [[Rescue Squad]]s at [[Indigo Underground]] and Ruddy Road to help him reach more a Mini Paint Star and the [[Fire Extinguisher]]. When all the Chosen Toads have been found, Mario defeats {{Morton}} at the Crimson Tower using the Fire Extinguisher, painting in a large gate at [[Sunglow Ridge]]. When they return to Port Prisma, they discover that [[Princess Peach|Peach]] has just been kidnapped by [[Bowser]], and decide that the only way to track them down is by collecting all the [[Big Paint Star]]s and they set off. | ||

At Sunglow Ridge, Mario witnesses a black missile cover an area with [[black paint]], which Huey cleans up while Mario's eyes are closed. Afterward, he searches for [[Prof. Kinopio]] at [[Château Chanterelle]], and finds him at [[Mondo Woods]]. The professor gives Mario an [[Excavation Site Permit]], which he uses to enter [[Marmalade Valley]]. Here, Mario finds the professor's pet [[Chain Chomp]], [[Princess (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|Princess]], and brings her back to Château Chanterelle. The professor is happy and gives him the [[Sharp Spike]] as thanks. The spike unlocks the door to [[Kiwano Temple]], which Mario must pass through to reach [[the Golden Coliseum]], where {{Iggy}} is holding the yellow Big Paint Star. Mario defeats Iggy in a stadium battle and the Big Paint Star repaints an oversized coin in [[Mondo Woods]]. | |||

Next, Mario investigates the mystery of ghosts haunting the [[Dark Bloo Inn]], and explores [[Plum Park|the hotel's garden]] to find their Teapot to appease them. When he finds their teapot and wrings it out, he realizes that [[Petea Piranha]] was inside it and now has to fight them. After this is done, he appeases the Toads and goes to [[Violet Passage]], where he helps out the yellow Rescue Squad while on a pirate ship. The Rescue Squad goes to the shrunken [[Sacred Forest]] to unclog a pipe. Here, Mario pieces together a Mini Paint Star and gains access to [[Cobalt Base]], where he participates in ''[[Snifit or Whiffit]]''. After this, Mario infiltrates [[Fort Cobalt]] to defeat {{Ludwig}} in his [[Super Ludship]] and [[Super Ludsub]]. The recovered blue Big Paint Star repaints the ocean at Violet Passage. | |||

After rescuing the café owner from the hole, including escaping a Snifit jail, Mario hears of the Sunset Express train stuck at Kiwano Temple. The blue Rescue Squad help fix the broken tracks, only for the train to be damaged by a [[Thwomp]]. The Toads push the train to [[Toad Trainworks]], where Mario repairs it. Next, the train goes to [[Tangerino Grill]], where Mario cooks [[Mamma Mia Pizza|pizza]] for the Toads, and serves [[steak]] to a VIP customer who is later revealed to be {{Larry}}. Larry hijacks the Sunset Express, but Mario defeats him with the help of the Toad train conductor. The train stops at [[Starlight Cape]], where Huey makes a wish for the orange Big Paint Star; once it is granted, the Big Paint Star restores an unpainted [[Draggadon]] at Marmalade Valley. | |||

Upon rescuing all six Big Paint Stars | Upon rescuing all six Big Paint Stars, they create a [[Rainbow Road#Paper Mario: Color Splash|path]] to [[Black Bowser's Castle]], which Mario and Huey head off to via a [[kart]] ride from Luigi. Inside they discover a factory producing [[Banzai Bill]]s loaded with black paint, similar to the one dropped on Sunglow Ridge. After destroying the factory, they escape the flood of black paint and find Bowser with Princess Peach drained of her colors. As Mario battles Bowser, Huey has himself turned back into his 3D-self to absorb the black paint off and defeat Bowser, who has no memories of the incident. Black Bowser's Castle proceeds to collapse as Mario restores Peach's colors. Mario, Peach, and Luigi return to Port Prisma while Huey stays behind to contain the black paint and release it where it cannot do any more harm, to the skies. Later, while celebrating at Port Prisma, Peach comforts Mario when he laments Huey's disappearance. When all [[Super Flag]]s are achieved, Huey can be seen falling back into the Prisma Fountain in the end screen.<ref>Crunchii.
