What is the Pianta Parlor? ***************************** The Pianta Parlor is the Game House in the west part of Rougeport. It is next to the Western Side Goods Shop, and left of the road. You can easily see it because there is a Pianta (a yellow guy with a leafskirt, and in Paper Mario he has got a hat and sunglasses) outside and the name "Pianta Parlor" is above the door. In the Pianta Parlor itself, you can play several games, like a normal slots game. You can also play with each paper curse. In the Pianta Parlor, you can get some items and badges that you can't get anywhere but there. **************************** 3. The Games **************************** These are the Games you can play. For each except the Slots, you'll need to get Cards through troubles in the Trouble House. You can get Pianta's at the big Pianta in the middle of the Parlor. They cost 3 coins each. --------------------------- 3a. the Slots. --------------------------- Where: At the right of the Pianta Parlor, between the High Score GameBoy and the Lahla cage. How to Unlock: Unlocked at start To Play: 1 Pianta Rules: Just match up three of the same picture, A Pianta head, a Starman, and a 7. Tips/Tricks: None. It's just luck. --------------------------- 3b. Plane Game --------------------------- Where: Talk to Lahla How to Unlock: Do the Trouble of Koopook "Try to find me!". He is hidden in Hooktail Castle.Go to Hooktail Castle, in the room with a kind of bridge at the top of the room. Use the big block to go up and look at the left while you're going up. You'll see a Koopa on a ledge at the left. Once on the bridge above, go left and drop down below on the ledge with the Koopa. Talk to him to get a Special Card as a reward. To Play: 10 Piantas Rules: In Plane Mode, get as far as you can. There are minus and double tiles which increase or decrease your Piantas if you land on them. (Just plane easy -.-) Tips/Tricks: Please. Don't go for the Piantas floating in the air. Keep tilting the control stick to the left and you´ll go very far. It will cost some time, but then you can get over the 400m easily. And of course, try to land on a x2 or x3 tile. --------------------------- 3c. Paper Game --------------------------- Where: Talk to Lahla How to Unlock: Take Trouble "Help my daddy!" of Pine T Jr. Go to the Rogueport sewers, in the Pit of 100 Trials (at the left of the Thousand-Years door) and talk to Pine T. Jr. He'll ask you to find his dad. Go in the pipe to enter the Pit and reach the 18th level. There you should find Pine T. Jr's dad. Talk to him, then enter the next pipe and in the next level should be a guy who'll bring you back to the entrance for 10 coins. Go back to the entrance and talk to Pine T. Jr to receive a Silver Card. To Play: 10 Piantas Rules: Just be the first to get over the finish. If you see the fans blowing, immediately press R to go into Paper Mode. The many, many, many other contestants will do this, too. Tips/Tricks: Always watch the fans. Also, try to push other racers in the endless doom. Evil. You can also jump over most of the gaps and you can jump while in Paper Mode! If you are placed first, you'll get really many Piantas.. --------------------------- 3d. Tube Game --------------------------- Where: Talk to Lahla How to unlock: Take trouble "Important thing" of Frankie. Go to the west part of Rogueport and talk to Frankie the Pianta in the small area with grass and flowers. He'll ask you to find the wedding ring he lost in town. Go to the east part of the town, past the Trouble Center. Stand at the right of the small bridge and use Yoshi to cross over the gap. Pick up the blue ring next to the crates. Bring it back to Frankie to receive the Gold Card. To Play: 10 Piantas Rules: Roll in Tube mode so fast as you can to the finish. Don't fall into the endless deep (DON'T!). Get some Piantas if you want to.. Tips/Tricks: First, just keep pressing right and press A to jump over the fences,DO NOT jump when you see the higher fence. Dodge the lamps. After the bend, take the second row, and keep jumping and pressing left. This is the most easy way to get to the small bars. If you did it right, you'll roll easily over the bars. Roll through the Tunnel. If you are fast enough, you can just roll onto the upper moving platform. Otherwise, wait for the lower one. Roll downhill. If you are lucky, get some Piantas, too. Go through this bend, and jump and roll under the fences again. Then get over the strange hilly thing (just keep pressing up-right and then ONLY right or you'll fall off. Then roll further for a glorious finish. --------------------------- 3e. Boat Game --------------------------- Where: Talk to Lahla How to Unlock: Take trouble: "I must have that book" of Toodles Go to Poshley Heights and talk to the girl inside the pink house. She'll tell you that Jolene has her magazine and that she wants it back. Go to Glitzville and talk to Jolene to receive the magazine. Go back to Poshley Heights with the magazine and give it to Toodles to receive the Platinum Card as a reward. To Play: 10 Piantas Rules: In Boat mode, dodge the barrels and whirlpools and get as quick as you can to the finish. Tips/Tricks: Try to dodge the barrels first,not very hard. After this,try make an as small bend as you can. Then dodge the whirlpools. You can be sunk once, maybe twice, but if you're really unlucky you'll float from one whirlpool to another, which is incredibly irritating. So time well. It's much harder than you would suggest. And the payment is strangely low. **************************** 4. Trade in Winnings. **************************** Okay, after you've played some games, you can trade them in when you talk with Lahla.

People in the Pianta Parlor ******************************************************** Well, the Pianta Parlor is owned by Don Pianta, the boss of the Rogueport Mafia, but you don't see him there in the early chapters. After Chapter 6 (I think), with the Excess Expres, you will see him there. Another important person is Lahla, the Boo behind the bars. You can "unlock" something by talking to her: first go through the bars in Paper Mode, and then talk to her. If you set High Scores in the games (which just means first place..) she'll tell you more about herself, which is pretty fun. There's also a mouse next to the Pianta Exchanger, but he just says that the Pianta Exchanger is exchanging coins for Piantas. D'oh. There is a Goomba, too, which is always trying to get better scores. Pretty funny.. And then there's the girl Toad, which is a mother of some children, but seems to spend her time the whole game in the Parlor. How sad. ***************************** 6.
