| | The '''Tile Pool''' is a large body of water found in [[The Bitlands]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is the setting of Chapter 3-2 of the game. Its name a pun of the words "tile" (due to the pixelated theme of the world) and "tide pool", a small accumulation of water found on beaches after a tide comes in. |

| '''Storyline text'''
| | [[Mario]] and co. reach the [[Tile Pool]] on their quest to save [[Tippi]] from [[Francis]]. After traversing a part of it, they come upon a [[Pixl]], [[Thudley]], who joins them soon after. The group continues on, solving some puzzles with the help of [[Thudley]] in the process until they reach [[Big Blooper]], who has to be fought in order to proceed. Once defeating the [[Big Blooper]], [[Mario]] and co. continue on to [[The Dotwood Tree]]. |

| | |
| ''As Mario walked ahead, he spotted something that made him briefly stop and stare...''
| |
| | |
| ''"What is it, Mario?" asked Peach, as she turned to see the blue expanse ahead.''
| |
| | |
| ''The great, glittering waves of the Tile Pool stretched as far as she could see.''
| |
| | |
| ''Fort Francis was somewhere across the water...''</blockquote>

| [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]] and [[Bowser]] reach the Tile Pool on their quest to save [[Tippi]] from [[Francis]]. The vast majority of the level takes place underwater. The first section of the level contained many [[Hard Block]]s and [[Cheep Cheep]]s, with a [[Mushroom]] in a [[? Block]]. Further on there is a [[Blooper]], a pile of Hard Blocks and a ? Block containing a [[Happy Flower (Super Paper Mario)|Happy Flower]]. Immediately after is a large rock sticking down into the water over a whirlpool that can suck the player down, doing damage. The next section has more Hard Blocks and a Blooper, followed by a tight hall filled with Cheep Cheeps and Bloopers.
| |
| | |
| After the hall is a group of six posts in the ground and a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] surrounded by blocks, which can be reached via [[flip]]. There is also a [[Save Block]] here. Down the pipe is a short stretch with a whirlpool that throws the player back to where they came from and a hole through which a giant Blooper's tentacle may attack. The path then forks, either going up to a pipe or further on to the right. Near the pipe which would eventually lead to a [[Pixl]], a [[Gold Bar]] can be found within a chest in 3-D. | |
| | |
| To the right is another stretch with whirlpools and more giant tentacles, leading to a drawing of the six posts earlier in the area, showing them at different levels in the order: up, down, down, up, down, up.
| |
| | |
| Through the pipe is a dry hallway and some [[Spiked Goomba]]s, followed by another stretch of water and a door. After the heroes enter the door, it seals itself. The room it leads to contains one post and several Cheep Cheeps and Bloopers. After the enemies are disposed of, a large chest appears, containing [[Thudley]], who joins the party and gives them the ability to [[Ground Pound]]. The room can be exited by pounding the post down.
| |
| | |
| Back at the area with the four posts, the heroes use Thudley to pound the posts in the order indicated on the drawing found earlier, revealing a door between the posts. Through the door is a large, mostly empty expanse of water, with a multitude of [[pit]]s and [[Bittacuda]]s. After continuing through this area for a bit, the heroes encounter [[Big Blooper (Super Paper Mario)|Big Blooper]], which traps and attacks them. They defeat it by attacking its red tentacle and pass through another Warp Pipe on back to dry land, where the [[Star Block (Super Paper Mario)|Star Block]] is located.
| |
| | |
| Mario and [[Luigi]] return to this area later in the game while chasing [[Dimentio]] in [[Castle Bleck Interior|Chapter 8-3]].
