As you cross through Petalburg to head to Hooktail Castle in the Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, you’ll eventually run into the Quiz Thwomp, who has a plethora of questions for you. There’s also a second Thwomp in Chapter 7 in the X-Naut Fortress.

While none of the questions are particularly difficult, some of these answers can be pretty easy to miss if you haven’t been paying too much attention to the story or the stuff around you. The quiz is actually a tiny bit different from the original GameCube quiz, so don’t just answer all willy-nilly.

Below, we’ve detailed all Thwomp quiz answers in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.


Chapter 1 Thwomp quiz answers in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

You’ll have to do another Thwomp quiz once you eventually get to the X-Naut base in Chapter 7. This robo-Thwomp has some tougher questions, but have no fear, we have the answers.

This time the Thwomp will also ask if you’re sure about every answer you submit. The questions and correct answers for the second Quiz Thwomp are as follows, in order:

  1. “Exactly what’s hidden here?”
    Elevator key
  2. “What’s the name of the girl in Petalburg who’s waiting patiently for Koops’ return?”
    Koopie Koo
  3. “Goomba, Lava Bubble, Buzzy Beetle, and Boo. How many feet do they have? Total!”
    6 feet
  4. “Where was the one, the only, Diamond Star?”
    Hooktail’s belly
  5. “What was the name of the very first champion of the Glitz Pit?”
    Prince Mush

After a suspenseful moment, the Thwomp will give you the elevator key and you can move on in the X-Nauts base.
