Editing Pianta Parlor

[[File:PMTTYD Piantaparlor.png|thumb|300px|[[Mario]] and his partner in front of the two slot machines and [[Don Pianta]]-resembling change machine.]]
The '''Pianta Parlor''' is a casino in [[Rogueport]] in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', owned by [[Don Pianta]] and operated by [[Lahla]]. [[Mario]] can come here to play [[minigame]]s for [[Pianta token]]s, which can be exchanged at the desk to redeem items and badges. 

There are two game machines, as well as four different minigames utilising the abilities Mario receives from the [[black chest]]s. The game machines are always available to play. However, Mario must hold special membership cards to play each of the other games, all four of which are earned from completing specific [[Trouble Center|troubles]]. 

Another machine resembling the original [[Game Boy]] is situated near the entrance and displays high scores for the various games. A machine resembling Don Pianta, known as the Pianta Changer, allows Mario to exchange [[Coin]]s for [[Pianta token]]s. The exchange rate is 3 Coins for 1 Pianta. 

At the beginning in Chapter 6, Don Pianta will retire as head of the [[Pianta syndicate]], and permanently relocate to the Pianta Parlor.
==Machine games==
===Slot machine===
The parlor in the Nintendo GameCube version of the game has two identical slot machines, which cost 1 Pianta to play. Three reels spin vertically, and can be stopped in turn from left to right by pressing {{Button|gcn|A|}}. Matching three symbols will reward the player with a set amount of Piantas, depending on the symbols that are matched.

===Matching game===
The Nintendo Switch version of the game replaces the slot machines with a picture matching game, which is similar to the [[Spade Panel]] minigame from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Three reels spin horizontally, with the top and bottom reels spinning to the left, and the middle reel spinning to the right. Each reel can be stopped in turn from top to bottom by pressing {{Button|switch|A|}}. Stopping all three reels in time to form a complete picture will reward the player with a set amount of Piantas, depending on the picture formed and which machine is used. 

There are two different matching game machines in the parlor: 
*The {{color|green|"Sweet"}} machine costs 1 Pianta to play. The reels spin slowly, but the machine provides lower rewards.
*The {{color|red|"Spicy"}} version costs 4 Piantas to play. The reels spin more quickly, and there are additional pictures, but the machine offers higher rewards.

==Members games==
There are four different membership cards that can be obtained. Each card will allow Mario to play one of the Pianta Parlor's members-only minigames, and unlock additional prizes that can be redeemed from Lahla.
*{{PMTTYD item|Special Card|game=NS}} is received after completing "[[Try to find me!]]" for [[Koopook]], and unlocks the [[#Plane Game|Plane game]].
*{{PMTTYD item|Silver Card|game=NS}} is received after completing "[[Help my Daddy!]]" for [[Pine T. Jr.]], and unlocks the [[#Paper Game|Paper Game]].
*{{PMTTYD item|Golden Card|Gold Card|game=NS}} is received after completing "[[Important thing!]]" for [[Frankie]], and unlocks the [[#Tube Game|Tube Game]].
*{{PMTTYD item|Platinum Card|game=NS}} is received after completing "[[I need my magazine.]]" for [[Toodles]], and unlocks the [[#Boat Game|Boat Game]].
===Plane Game===
[[File:PMTTYD Piantapailor Airplane.png|thumb|x100px|The Plane Game]]
The [[Special Card]] is needed to play this game. In the Plane Game, Mario must fly down from a high platform and try to get as far as possible. The farther Mario goes, the more [[pianta token]]s he will win. There are also several spots to multiply the amount won, but there are also spots that subtract the number of pianta tokens Mario will receive. Some pianta tokens float in random spots in the air.
{{br}}

===Paper Game===
[[File:PMTTYD Piantaparlor Paper.png|thumb|x100px|The Paper Game]]
The player must have the [[Silver Card]] to play this game. In the Paper Game, Mario and a massive crowd of different species must race towards a finish line. Mario is not timed, but he still needs to get in first to the finish line. Large fans blow against Mario and the crowd, and if Mario is not careful the wind can push him into a pit. This causes him to "retire" and forfeit any pianta tokens he might have earned, but if he turns paper-thin, the air will just pass by. However, moving in Paper Mode makes him run slower. [[Luigi]], [[Koopie Koo]], and [[Wonky]] have a cameo appearance in the race, and there is a chance for all opponents to be pink Bob-ombs. In the remake, there is also a chance for a majority of Mario's opponents to be Toads. If the player comes in first place, they will get 20 tokens (earning ten tokens as it costs ten tokens to play).
{{br}}

===Tube Game===
[[File:PMTTYD Piantaparlor Tube.png|thumb|x100px|The Tube Game]]
The player must have the [[Golden Card|Gold Card]] to play this game. In the Tube Game, Mario is in tube form and has to move as fast as possible around barriers and obstacles on a track with no rails to get to the finish. Turning is a problem and since there are no rails, it is easy to fall off and lose precious time. Pianta tokens are scattered through this stage. A technical bonus is given if Mario does not fall off the stage.
{{br}}

===Boat Game===
[[File:PMTTYD Piantaparlor Boat.png|thumb|x100px|The Boat Game]]
The player needs a [[Platinum Card]] to play this game. In the Boat Game, Mario is in boat mode and he must sail between floating barrels and whirlpools to make it to the finish. There are also pianta tokens scattered through the stage. A technical bonus is given if Mario does not hit any whirlpools.

==Inventory==
Prizes can be redeemed with Pianta tokens. Obtaining each membership card will unlock additional prizes available for redemption.

==Trivia==
*[[Lahla]] is a [[Boo]] working at the desk behind some bars; Mario can slip through the bars to find out info about her if he gets a high score in the minigames.
*The first issue of the [[List of e-mails in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#RDM Premiere Issue|RDM]] reveals that the Pianta Changer was added to the parlor approximately five years before the events of the game.
**The same issue states that the Pianta Parlor was temporarily shut down as a result of [[Goomfrey]] beating up the Pianta Exchanger. The robot later commented that it did not feel pain as it was a machine.
*The Pianta Parlor is referenced in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where the [[Catch Card]] for [[Lakitu]] states that its character throws [[Spiny|Spinies]] like "[[coin]]s at a Pianta Parlor". This reference implies that there are multiple Pianta Parlors.
*Many of the items at the Pianta Parlor have different positioning in the menu in the Japanese version.
*In the Japanese version, the Multibounce Badge is unlocked by obtaining the Gold Card instead of the Silver Card.
