The '''Sea Tower''' is a tall tower standing in [[the Great Sea]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. It is charted in territory B1 on the Sea Chart and requires three [[Orb (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Orbs]] to enter the tower. The Sea Tower contains elements of all the previous [[Vellumentals|Vellumental]] areas: the [[Earth Vellumental Temple]], [[Water Vellumental Shrine]], [[Fire Vellumental Cave]], and [[Ice Vellumental Mountain]]. [[Tape (boss)|Tape]] is battled atop the Sea Tower as the guardian of the purple [[streamer]]. The Sea Tower also connects to [[Shangri-Spa]] by a beacon at the top of the tower.

[[Mario]] must have gathered the [[Orb (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Courage Orb, Wisdom Orb, and Power Orb]] from having cleared the three trials on [[Diamond Island]] in order open the door to the Sea Tower; when interacting with the door, Mario has to place all three orbs in, and he can then enter the tower. The [[Warp Pipe]] serving as a shortcut between the Sea Tower and [[Musée Champignon]] in [[Toad Town]] is located outside the tower.

The first floor of the Sea Tower is styled after the [[Earth Vellumental]] and [[Water Vellumental]]. First, Mario has to jump across multiple expanding and retracting pillars. He comes across two idols resembling the Water Vellumental. A blue Sidestepper steals the [[Red Gem]] from the left statue and runs into a passageway. Following the Sidestepper leads Mario to an Earth Vellumental Temple area, with rising and falling pillars. Midway through the area, he must hammer two pillars out of the wall and jump on top of a protruding statue. Pulling some tape off of a pillar and filling in a [[Not-Bottomless Hole]] leads Mario through a doorway to the Water Vellumental Temple room. The Sidestepper runs between the front and back ends of the room, entering cracks in the wall that allow it to easily escape Mario. To trap the Sidestepper, Mario has to hammer the walls to lower Vellumental heads and cover the cracks, then catch the Sidestepper and recover the Red Gem. Once he puts it in the statue's eye, he can go up the stairs and onto the second floor.

On the way up the tower, Mario and [[Olivia]] observe Toads taped to the tower walls. After going up a moving platform, Mario arrives at an area dedicated to the [[Fire Vellumental]] and [[Ice Vellumental]], with statues of themselves facing each other. There is a button behind the Fire Vellumental idol that Mario can hammer to make it spit out a weak flame. To the south of the Fire Vellumental statue are stairs leading to an icy area, where Mario has to complete an ice-sliding puzzle similar to the ones in the [[Ice Vellumental Mountain]]. When the ice block slides to the right, Mario can hammer through the wall and enter a [[Fire Vellumental Cave]] room. To get to the other end, he has to jump across a group of tiles, repeating a sequence in reverse. This takes him to a [[Magic Circle]], and Mario must use the [[1,000-Fold Arms]] to release a metal ball, which rolls down a slope and hits the button behind the Fire Vellumental statue with enough force to make it spit out a strong flame that melts the icy teeth of the Ice Vellumental statue, clearing the path to the next floor.

Even more Toads are taped to the tower walls as Mario climbs higher. Upon reaching the top of the tower where he finds a spool for the purple streamer, [[Tape (boss)|Tape]] appears on a central platform and challenges Mario. Once Tape is defeated, the strips of tape that restrained the Toads to the tower walls disappear, freeing them. Also, a Magic Circle spawns on the platform, allowing Mario to use the 1,000-Fold Arms to destroy the purple streamer's spool. After clearing the streamer, Mario can examine below his feet to find a hint to continue from this point (and to follow the green streamer that Mario and Olivia see  going up above the clouds): "Let four fold into one and point you toward paradise." Mario can also access the four Vellumental pillars nearby. He must use each Vellumental's ability in front of its pillar counterpart and hit a red button on the pillar to make it rotate toward the platform. When all four Vellumental pillars are facing the platform, each fires a beam from its mouth; the beams merge over the platform and create a beacon of light that shoots vertically into the sky. Mario and Olivia then use the beacon that transports them both up to the entrance of [[Shangri-Spa]], starting their quest to destroy the green streamer next.
