Long Fall Falls is World 5-3 of Paper Mario: Sticker Star. It is a jungle level where Mario stands on a raft while being pursued by a giant Cheep-Chomp.

Layout

The level begin with Mario flowing down a jungle river on a five-log raft, when a gigantic Cheep-Chomp approaches from behind and follows him. It has a propeller where its tail fin should be. The Cheep-Chomp can perform various attacks that include charging towards, and jumping at, Mario. It may hit the raft, which causes it to lose a segment, or eat Mario entirely and cause an instant Game Over. Every so often, the Cheep Chomp's propeller may stick up out of the water and spin around for a few seconds, which causes the Cheep-Chomp to attack Mario faster than before. This increased attack speed carries over when playing the level multiple times. After enough time has passed, Mario, his raft, and the Cheep-Chomp all fall down a large waterfall, but the Cheep-Chomp's propeller causes it to continue moving in the air, flying off into the distance and eventually into space.

Mario's raft then lands in the river again. There are two paths here; one on the right that directly leads to a Comet Piece, and another on the left that leads around and back before the paths split. By moving the raft towards the left edge, Mario will go down the left path. Taking the right path to the Comet Piece causes Mario's raft to crash into a dock, sending him flying onto it before the raft breaks apart and sinks. The area with the Comet Piece is a grassy section surrounded by plant life and fences.

Secret Exit

The area with the Jungle Floodgate scrap

In the area after Mario falls down the waterfall, he can take the path to the left, which seemingly loops with nothing of interest. However, this path also includes a large building to the right. When approaching this building, Mario can paperize to reveal the Jungle Floodgate scrap that flips upside-down when peeled back. When re-applied, this scrap becomes the building entrance, which leads to a small area with the hidden Comet Piece. This Comet Piece is required to unlock access to Chomp Ruins. Directly to the right of the Comet Piece is a hidden area with a ? Block containing the only Megaflash Infinijump sticker in the game.

Secret Door

The Secret Door is located to the left of the regular exit. It contains the Luxurious Bed.
