History

Paper Mario series

Paper Mario

The first appearance of the Mystery in Paper Mario goes under the name Mystery? When used in battle, a roulette will appear, containing the following items, that will be used right after the roulette stops on an item:

Mysteries? can also be used for cooking, yielding a Mistake half the time, and a randomly selected one of twenty-three recipes otherwise.

Throughout the game, Mysteries? can be found in the following locations:

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a Mystery is sold for three coins at Pungent's Great Tree Shop and the Sales Stall. One Mystery can also be found in a bush in near the bridge in Petal Meadows.

When used in battle, a Mystery has the effect of one of the following items:

In the remake the selection is different:

  • Mushroom
  • Honey Syrup
  • Stopwatch
  • Repel Cape
  • Fire Flower
  • Shooting Star
  • Thunder Rage

Later chapters replace Mushroom and Honey Syrup with their upgraded forms.

If it is cooked by itself or with any other item, it makes a Mistake half the time, and otherwise a random one of twenty items, mostly cooking recipes.

Super Paper Mario

Mysteries appear under their name Mystery Boxes in Super Paper Mario. When cooked, the outcome can be random, or more commonly, a Mistake. However, the set recipe is a Miracle Dinner. The Mystery Box can be bought in Flipside Arcade for five Flipside Tokens, at the Downtown of Crag for three coins, or carried by a Lakitu. Similar to Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a random item will appear which can be any item from a Catch Card to a Thunder Rage.

A Mystery Box can contain one of the following items:

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

While Mysteries do not appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, another item known as a Secret Box with similar effects appears. Secret Boxes mimic a random badge effect, unlike Mysteries, which mimic a random item.

Unused appearances

Paper Mario: Sticker Star

The Mystery was originally set to re-appear in Paper Mario: Sticker Star for the Nintendo 3DS, as seen in early artwork, but is absent from the final game.
