The '''Pianta Parlor''' is a casino in [[Rogueport]] in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', owned by [[Don Pianta]] and operated by [[Lahla]]. [[Mario]] can come here to play [[minigame]]s for [[Pianta token]]s, which can be exchanged at the desk to redeem items and badges.


The '''Pianta Parlor''' is a place in [[Rogueport]] in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' where [[Mario]] can play mini-games for [[Pianta Token]]s, which can be exchanged for items and badges. There are slot machines as well as four mini-games to play, and each of the mini-games uses the four different curses Mario receives from the [[Black Chest Demon|Black Chest Demons]]. The slot machines are initially unlockable. However, Mario must complete certain [[Trouble Center|troubles]] to receive cards to play the other games.
There are two game machines, as well as four different minigames utilising the abilities Mario receives from the [[black chest]]s. The game machines are always available to play. However, Mario must hold special membership cards to play each of the other games, all four of which are earned from completing specific [[Trouble Center|troubles]].  


To play a slot machine, Mario must deposit one Pianta Token. The slots will then spin. If Mario matches three of a kind, he'll get more Pianta Tokens. Three [[Don Pianta]]s give him three Pianta Tokens; three Stars give him seven Pianta Tokens, and three 7's gives him fifteen Pianta Tokens.
Another machine resembling the original [[Game Boy]] is situated near the entrance and displays high scores for the various games. A machine resembling Don Pianta, known as the Pianta Changer, allows Mario to exchange [[Coin]]s for [[Pianta token]]s. The exchange rate is 3 Coins for 1 Pianta.  


== Games ==
At the beginning in Chapter 6, Don Pianta will retire as head of the [[Pianta syndicate]], and permanently relocate to the Pianta Parlor.
===Airplane Game===
==Machine games==
The Airplane Game is where Mario flies down from a high platform and tries to get as far as possible. The farther Mario goes, the more [[Pianta Token]]s he will win. There are also several spots to multiply the amount won.

===Matching game===
The Nintendo Switch version of the game replaces the slot machines with a picture matching game, which is similar to the [[Spade Panel]] minigame from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Three reels spin horizontally, with the top and bottom reels spinning to the left, and the middle reel spinning to the right. Each reel can be stopped in turn from top to bottom by pressing {{Button|switch|A|}}. Stopping all three reels in time to form a complete picture will reward the player with a set amount of Piantas, depending on the picture formed and which machine is used.
 
There are two different matching game machines in the parlor:
*The {{color|green|"Sweet"}} machine costs 1 Pianta to play. The reels spin slowly, but the machine provides lower rewards.
*The {{color|red|"Spicy"}} version costs 4 Piantas to play. The reels spin more quickly, and there are additional pictures, but the machine offers higher rewards.

===Plane Game===
[[File:PMTTYD Piantapailor Airplane.png|thumb|x100px|The Plane Game]]
The [[Special Card]] is needed to play this game. In the Plane Game, Mario must fly down from a high platform and try to get as far as possible. The farther Mario goes, the more [[pianta token]]s he will win. There are also several spots to multiply the amount won, but there are also spots that subtract the number of pianta tokens Mario will receive. Some pianta tokens float in random spots in the air.
{{br}}


===Paper Game===
===Paper Game===
The Paper Game is where Mario and a massive crowd of different species race towards a finish line. Mario is not timed, but he still needs to get in first. Large fans blow against Mario, but if he turns paper-thin, the air will just pass by. [[Luigi]] has a cameo appearance in the race.
[[File:PMTTYD Piantaparlor Paper.png|thumb|x100px|The Paper Game]]
The player must have the [[Silver Card]] to play this game. In the Paper Game, Mario and a massive crowd of different species must race towards a finish line. Mario is not timed, but he still needs to get in first to the finish line. Large fans blow against Mario and the crowd, and if Mario is not careful the wind can push him into a pit. This causes him to "retire" and forfeit any pianta tokens he might have earned, but if he turns paper-thin, the air will just pass by. However, moving in Paper Mode makes him run slower. [[Luigi]], [[Koopie Koo]], and [[Wonky]] have a cameo appearance in the race, and there is a chance for all opponents to be pink Bob-ombs. In the remake, there is also a chance for a majority of Mario's opponents to be Toads. If the player comes in first place, they will get 20 tokens (earning ten tokens as it costs ten tokens to play).
{{br}}
 
===Tube Game===
[[File:PMTTYD Piantaparlor Tube.png|thumb|x100px|The Tube Game]]
The player must have the [[Golden Card|Gold Card]] to play this game. In the Tube Game, Mario is in tube form and has to move as fast as possible around barriers and obstacles on a track with no rails to get to the finish. Turning is a problem and since there are no rails, it is easy to fall off and lose precious time. Pianta tokens are scattered through this stage. A technical bonus is given if Mario does not fall off the stage.
{{br}}


===Boat Game===
===Boat Game===
The Boat Game is where Mario is in boat mode and he sails between floating barrels and whirlpools. He's timed and this game is very difficult.
[[File:PMTTYD Piantaparlor Boat.png|thumb|x100px|The Boat Game]]
The player needs a [[Platinum Card]] to play this game. In the Boat Game, Mario is in boat mode and he must sail between floating barrels and whirlpools to make it to the finish. There are also pianta tokens scattered through the stage. A technical bonus is given if Mario does not hit any whirlpools.

Mario and his partner in front of the two slot machines and Don Pianta-resembling change machine.

The Pianta Parlor is a casino in Rogueport in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, owned by Don Pianta and operated by Lahla. Mario can come here to play minigames for Pianta tokens, which can be exchanged at the desk to redeem items and badges.

There are two game machines, as well as four different minigames utilising the abilities Mario receives from the black chests. The game machines are always available to play. However, Mario must hold special membership cards to play each of the other games, all four of which are earned from completing specific troubles.

Another machine resembling the original Game Boy is situated near the entrance and displays high scores for the various games. A machine resembling Don Pianta, known as the Pianta Changer, allows Mario to exchange Coins for Pianta tokens. The exchange rate is 3 Coins for 1 Pianta.

At the beginning in Chapter 6, Don Pianta will retire as head of the Pianta syndicate, and permanently relocate to the Pianta Parlor.

Machine games[edit]

Slot machine[edit]

The parlor in the Nintendo GameCube version of the game has two identical slot machines, which cost 1 Pianta to play. Three reels spin vertically, and can be stopped in turn from left to right by pressing A Button. Matching three symbols will reward the player with a set amount of Piantas, depending on the symbols that are matched.

Symbol Prize Odds
Don Pianta 3 Piantas 15.625%
Star 15 Piantas 3.516%
7 100 Piantas 0.195%

Despite the differing odds of matching a particular symbol, a player can still win an average of approximately 120 pianta tokens across 100 plays.[1]

Matching game[edit]

The Nintendo Switch version of the game replaces the slot machines with a picture matching game, which is similar to the Spade Panel minigame from Super Mario Bros. 3. Three reels spin horizontally, with the top and bottom reels spinning to the left, and the middle reel spinning to the right. Each reel can be stopped in turn from top to bottom by pressing A Button. Stopping all three reels in time to form a complete picture will reward the player with a set amount of Piantas, depending on the picture formed and which machine is used.

There are two different matching game machines in the parlor:

  • The "Sweet" machine costs 1 Pianta to play. The reels spin slowly, but the machine provides lower rewards.
  • The "Spicy" version costs 4 Piantas to play. The reels spin more quickly, and there are additional pictures, but the machine offers higher rewards.
Picture Prize
Sweet Spicy
Don Pianta icon for the Pianta Parlor matching game in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) Don Pianta 2 Piantas 6 Piantas
POW Block icon for the Pianta Parlor matching game in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) POW Block 4 Piantas 12 Piantas

Star icon for the Pianta Parlor matching game in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) Star N/A 50 Piantas

Members games[edit]

There are four different membership cards that can be obtained. Each card will allow Mario to play one of the Pianta Parlor's members-only minigames, and unlock additional prizes that can be redeemed from Lahla.

Plane Game[edit]

The Plane Game

The Special Card is needed to play this game. In the Plane Game, Mario must fly down from a high platform and try to get as far as possible. The farther Mario goes, the more pianta tokens he will win. There are also several spots to multiply the amount won, but there are also spots that subtract the number of pianta tokens Mario will receive. Some pianta tokens float in random spots in the air.

Paper Game[edit]

The Paper Game

The player must have the Silver Card to play this game. In the Paper Game, Mario and a massive crowd of different species must race towards a finish line. Mario is not timed, but he still needs to get in first to the finish line. Large fans blow against Mario and the crowd, and if Mario is not careful the wind can push him into a pit. This causes him to "retire" and forfeit any pianta tokens he might have earned, but if he turns paper-thin, the air will just pass by. However, moving in Paper Mode makes him run slower. Luigi, Koopie Koo, and Wonky have a cameo appearance in the race, and there is a chance for all opponents to be pink Bob-ombs. In the remake, there is also a chance for a majority of Mario's opponents to be Toads. If the player comes in first place, they will get 20 tokens (earning ten tokens as it costs ten tokens to play).

Tube Game[edit]

The Tube Game

The player must have the Gold Card to play this game. In the Tube Game, Mario is in tube form and has to move as fast as possible around barriers and obstacles on a track with no rails to get to the finish. Turning is a problem and since there are no rails, it is easy to fall off and lose precious time. Pianta tokens are scattered through this stage. A technical bonus is given if Mario does not fall off the stage.

Boat Game[edit]

The Boat Game

The player needs a Platinum Card to play this game. In the Boat Game, Mario is in boat mode and he must sail between floating barrels and whirlpools to make it to the finish. There are also pianta tokens scattered through the stage. A technical bonus is given if Mario does not hit any whirlpools.

Inventory[edit]

Prizes can be redeemed with Pianta tokens. Obtaining each membership card will unlock additional prizes available for redemption.

  • The Pianta Parlor is referenced in Super Paper Mario, where the Catch Card for Lakitu states that its character throws Spinies like "coins at a Pianta Parlor". This reference implies that there are multiple Pianta Parlors.
  • Many of the items at the Pianta Parlor have different positioning in the menu in the Japanese version.
  • In the Japanese version, the Multibounce Badge is unlocked by obtaining the Gold Card instead of the Silver Card.
