'''The Great Sea''' is a purple [[streamer]] area seen in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. It acts as a hub, connecting the 11 islands in the area and [[the Princess Peach]]. It can be accessed as early as after [[Bob-omb (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Bob-omb]] rejoins Mario and [[Olivia]] in [[Chestnut Valley]] (after which an engine for a boat docked at [[Toad Town]] is ready, provided that Mario has rescued the [[Sea Captain Toad]] in [[Autumn Mountain]] by that point), but is not fully explored until after the yellow streamer area is cleared. Additionally, Mario and Bob-omb are required to venture into the Great Sea after Olivia is trapped under a boulder in [[Sweetpaper Valley]]. There are no [[? Block]]s or [[Not-Bottomless Hole]]s in the Great Sea itself; however, there are numerous treasures to be found in its depths. Additionally, while no Toads are directly rescued here, it is required to collect the [[Big Shell (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Big Shell]] to free the [[Toad's BBQ Foodeatery caretaker]] in the [[Whispering Woods]].

The Great Sea is a large, ocean-like area connecting several islands. It is navigated using [[Sea Captain Toad]]'s boat. When first accessed, a thick, impassable fog covers most of the sea, concealing everything but [[Scuffle Island]] and [[the Princess Peach]]. After completing the puzzles at [[Bonehead Island]], the fog clears, allowing access to all the other islands. Several enemies are seen roaming around the ocean, and will fight Mario if the boat gets too close.

Mario is required to enter the Great Sea to reach the Princess Peach and get a spare fuse for [[Bob-omb (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Bob-omb]]. Mario later returns to the Great Sea after rescuing [[Captain T. Ode]] and getting his [[Sea Chart]], which allows the party to travel through the fog to Bonehead Island. The purple streamer is shown cutting through the sea floor at multiple points, but eventually leads to the top of the [[Sea Tower]].

Several [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s on islands in the Great Sea will mark spots on the Sea Chart to dive for treasures as thanks for Mario rescuing them. The [[Super Marino]] is required to dive at those spots to search for and grab the treasures. Additional items that can be collected from the sea floor include a [[Heavy Bag]], a [[Canned Heart]], a [[Big Shell (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Big Shell]], and some coins.

==Islands==
Mario can access a total of 11 islands in the Great Sea. Each island, with an exception of the Sea Tower, has a stone Toad statue that Mario can examine. If Mario finds all Toad statues across the Great Sea, he is rewarded with Collectible Treasure No. 80: [[Shangri-Spa]] [[Shangri-Spa Toad|Toad]] Statue.
