'''Ruins Keys'''  are old [[key]]s found in [[Paper Mario]] and [[Super Paper Mario]].

==History==
===''Paper Mario''===
In [[Paper Mario]], Ruins Keys can be found in the [[Dry Dry Ruins]]. [[Mario]] uses these keys to open several locked doors to advance through the ruins, and eventually reach [[Tutankoopa]], the chapter's boss. There are four Ruins Keys in total. 

*The first Ruins Key is found in the third room visited. It unlocks the door to the room above.
*The second key is found further in the temple after pouring sand down from another room to reach it. It unlocks the door to the room containing the [[Artifact]].
*The third is obtained after defeating three [[Pokey Mummy|Pokey Mummies]]. It unlocks the door to the deeper parts of the ruins.
*The fourth key is found in the room adjacent to the hallway containing a map of the ruins. It requires the [[Super Hammer]] to obtain, and unlocks the room containing the answer to the [[Chomp Rock]] statue puzzle.

===''Super Paper Mario''===
In [[Super Paper Mario]], the keys are found in [[Yold Ruins]]. They are found throughout the level, often in places that take advantage of the [[flip]] technique.
