'''Secret Doors''' are a special type of [[sticker]] found in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. They are located exclusively at [[Outlook Point]] and sell for 80 [[coin]]s. Their main purpose is to be [[Paperize]]d onto silhouettes of doors found mainly on walls to see what is behind, usually several powerful stickers or a [[Thing]]. They can also be used in battle to successfully [[flee]] by having a door appear and have [[Mario]] walk through. However, in special occasions (such as when fighting [[Bowser]]), the door may collapse and fall on Mario, making him unable to escape.

A Secret Door is only found outside of Outlook Point twice; in [[Ice Flow]] after Mario reveals several [[Hidden Block]]s, and in [[Bowser's Snow Fort]] after Mario defeats or pays the two [[Shy Guy]]s holding the [[Traveling Toad]] hostage.
