Roshambo Temple
The Roshambo Temples are large arenas in Paper Mario: Color Splash where rock-paper-scissors games take place (called Super Roshambo). There are eight of them located all over Prism Island, and act as a stadium, having cheering Toads as the audience with a jumbotron that shows the three hand signs and Mario's picture when he wins a round.
They first need to be unlocked. Sometimes, when obtaining a Mini Paint Star, a medallion with a Roshambo icon on it will show up. If Mario grabs it, a new temple will open up.
In every temple, two confrontations against random enemies take place, and the third one is against another enemy or against the Rock Paper Wizard if one of the story bosses has just been defeated. A Koopaling or Kamek battle card and 1000 coins are obtained by beating Rock Paper Wizard on every occasion (a Replica Thing card and 1000 coins if it was an enemy). When he's defeated in all the eight temples, Rock Paper Wizard reveals he is retiring and takes off his hand hat, letting know everyone he was a Toad. Mario and Huey leave the temple and discover there were actually eight Rock Paper Wizards.
If the player loses in any of the three confrontations, it is required to get a Mini Paint Star in order to enter again. However, there is another method: a blue Toad in a corner can sneak Mario into the tournament for 100 coins.
