Super Paper Mario Pit Of 100 Trails

Both Pits of 100 Trials are among the most grueling challenges this game has to offer, but the rewards are many.

Where is the Pit of 100 Trials?
There is a Pit of 100 Trials located in both Flipside’s and Flopside’s basement’s 2nd floor, but the access way to the one in Flipside is currently blocked, so you’ll have to perform some tricky maneuvers to make it accessible.

Take the warp pipe on the basement’s first floor (just before the third Heart Pillar) to the 2nd floor basement.

Travel to the far wall and leap onto the top block. Now it may appear there’s no where to go from here, but looks can be deceiving. Point the Wii Remote at the screen to find a series of hidden blocks – click on each one to make it visible, then use them to cross the gap.

When you reach the silhouette of the door, flip to 3D and run down the hallway that appears to find a Blue Switch. Jump on it to open the way to the Pit of 100 Trials.

 

 

How does it work?
As the name suggests, you’ll have to work your way through 100 rooms to reach the goal. Each room generally contains a locked door and multiple enemies, one of which contains the key to the door. Note that you do not have to defeat all of the enemies to obtain the key, but good luck guessing which enemy has it.

It’s strongly advised you stock up on healing items before embarking on this journey, particularly ones that can heal poison attacks as well, because if you get poisoned otherwise, it might mean Game Over.

Boss of Flipside’s Pit of 100 Trials
Wracktail, the successor to Fracktail, waits in room 100 for you. Not much has changed in this incarnation though he is much stronger. In addition, you’ll have to use Luigi’s super-jump to damage the antenna on his head.

Flopside’s Pit of 100 Trials (Wracktail)
Flopside’s version of the Pit of 100 Trials is identical to Flipside’s in terms of concept, but slightly different in the execution. For you see, the enemies are all dark-silhouettes, meaning you’ll have to guess what type of enemy they are by shape alone.

Boss of Flopside’s Pit of 100 Trials (Shadoo)
In order to battle Flipside’s boss, you’ll have to battle through all 100 rooms twice! Turns out, the real battle is against your own team, only is dark form! Complete this battle will result in 8 Catch Cards, listed below.

Every tenth rooms serves as a sanctuary of sorts. Not only will there not be any enemies (except for pit 100, which contains the boss), but it also contains a treasure chest that contains a Catch card.
