Paper Mario: Sticker Star -- 3-4 Strike Lake

We see a segment of Wiggler run off. The trees ahead are rustling. Hit them with your hammer to knock down the fruit for coins and stickers. The segment of Wiggler's body is hiding in a tree. It'll run off. You can't pick it up by paperizing. In the next area, it's behind a fence and will run over a pool of poison, then hide in a tree. It will then run to the area to the right. It'll be hiding flipped around so it's almost invisible. Once you find it, it will run to the previous area. The comet piece is here, but we'll keep following it. There's a door drawn here. The Secret Door will lead to the Drum. The other area to the back looks like bowling alley. There's a comet piece behind the pins. We don't have anything to knock the pins over yet. We go back to the previous area and hit the tree to the right. A yellow Billiard Ball falls out. In the area with the comet piece we can reach, there's a door drawn on the side of the wall near the Fire Flower. Go back to the first area and you'll notice a shrub moving. Hit the shrub and the segment will appear and pose with Mario. Now that it has joined us, we lead it to the comet piece.

This opens the path to 3-5. The Wiggler piece will run off there without us. Hopefully it knows where another segment is.

We make the Bowling Ball into a sticker and return here. Go to the bowling alley and stick the Bowling Ball over the stump on the right. The alley lights up and Mario gets a perfect strike, complete with cheers and instant replay. Conveniently, another 3D Bowling Ball appears out of the tree to the left. The comet piece opens the path to 3-11.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star -- 3-2 The Bafflewood

Sounds like more puzzles ahead. It's quiet and spooky ahead, with a Blooper floating around in the background. The next area has two Snifits and a sign that says, "Be Careful in There". There are two paths marked with two signs, one of which we can stick a sticker on. We battle the Snifits and a Clip Guy appears. If you don't block the Clip Guy, he'll put the paperclip on you so you can't move.

Let's go to the left first. We end up where we started. The right path leads to an area with a Piranha Plant and more Snifits. The signs are blank, so pick a sticker you don't want on the sign of the correct path. You can peel them off. The left path leads to an area with three paths. Go to the right for three more paths. The middle path will take you to a large area with five paths. Go to the left. The sign says, " Bafflewood Management Looks Forward to Your Return". Other than an item block and a flower in the light, there isn't much here. To summarize, take the following path from the Bafflewood Entrance sign: Right, Left, Right, Center, Left.

The path leads to the comet piece. The path to 3-3 opens up. That was short. Something tells me there's more here. The other paths lead to the entrance, so maybe other areas lead to 3-2.

When we return to go after a Wiggler segment after completing 3-10, we find a Toad. He confirms the segment was here. Going through the path correctly reveals nothing. At the entrance, the sign now says "Be careful not to become that guy who got baffled 10 times". Let's try the wrong path 10 times. I read the sign after trying the wrong path a few times, and it's only keeping score of how many times we choose the wrong path. Collecting the comet piece doesn't work, nor does defeating all the enemies, nor going through the maze backwards. Collecting all the stickers in the area doesn't work, either. After a while of searching, I find another path. Take the right path from the area with the pool of poison. It leads to an area with a few stickers and a door drawn on the side of the hill. The Secret Door leads to the Violin. Go to the right again and you'll find the segment in an area with lots of stickers.

Once again, the segment is spoiling for a fight. Kersti wonders why the segments never learn. It's battling alongside two Piranha Plants. After the battle, it joins us. Hop over the fence and continue forward. The next area has two Piranha Plants. The area after has lots of poisoned shrubs. The next area has a Bowling Ball. I know what to do with this. We backtrack to the comet piece, then head to Wiggler's house.

To summarize, to reach the segment, take the following path: Right, Left, Right, Right, Right.

If you return to where the Bowling Ball was after the poison clears, you'll find the Trophy.
