How to Fast Travel

This guide shows you how to Fast Travel using Warp Pipes, Fax Travel, the Toad Tram, and the Paddler in Paper Mario: The Origami King for the Nintendo Switch. Read on to learn how to unlock fast travel, as well as locations for each fast travel type.

How to Fast Travel

Paper Mario: The Origami King has several towns to explore, so having a way to travel fast is very helpful! Instead of spending time walking from one location to another, you can use:

1. Warp Pipes
2. Fax Travel
3. Toad Tram
4. Eddy River Boat

If you already know how to use these methods, you can click here to jump to Fast Travel locations or how to Unlock the locations.

How to Use Warp Pipes

The use of Warp Pipes at the Museum in Toad Town is the same as any Pipes in the game, you jump onto it and press A to go through.

Steps to Warp Pipe Travel

No Mario games without interconnected plumbing! The Warp Pipes are found in the basement of the Museum in Toad Town and can take Mario to set locations around the world.

However, at first, the other end of the pipe will often be blocked. To unblock them, you have to find them on your travels and pull a sticker off them.

1	Enter the gray Pipe at the Museum in Toad Town.
2	Enter a Warp Pipe to travel to a specific Streamer area. You can tell where you end up by the color and plate in front of the Pipes.

Or, if you're not in Toad Town:

1	Enter a Pipe from one of the areas that have them and warp back to the Museum.

How to Use Fax Travel

Fax Travel is another way to travel fast. You can go back and forth from the Main Office to any of the Satellite Offices, but it's not possible to go from one Satellite Office to another, so you might need two trips to get to your destination.

To use the Fax Machines, press A to check the Fax itself and agree to be sent elsewhere.

Steps to Fax Travel

Using Fax Travel is very easy! However, you will need to unlock the Sensor Lab Headquarters first by clearing the Red Streamer and then save the Toads stuck in the Fax Machines in the Satellite Offices to unlock their locations.

1	After saving the Toad inside the Sensor Lab, check Fax Machine inside to warp.
2a	Choose which available Satellite Office you want to go to. You can only go to Offices you have unlocked.
2b	Choose to go back to the Main Office from the Satellite Office you're at, then check the Fax there to be sent somewhere else.

Using the Toad Tram

The Toad Tram is the second fast travel method you unlock. You can access this for the first time in Overlook Mountain, but need to clear the Red Streamer first. Once unlocked, just press A by the Tram or the Toad on the Station to choose where to go.

Steps to Travel Using Toad Tram

After saving the Tram Toad at the Tram Station in Overlook Mountain, you can start traveling by speaking with it.

1	Talk to the Toad by the Tram Station or choose "Get in" by approaching the Tram. On your first ride from Overlook Mountain, a cut-scene will begin.
2	Choose which available Tram Station you want to go to. For your first ride, it will automatically send you to Autumn Mountain.

How to Use the Eddy River Boat

Using the River Boat to Fast Travel requires first going ride the Eddy River Rapids by steering the boat manually. After you have done it once, however, just talk to the Toad on the Boat landings to choose where to go.

Steps to Travel Using River Boat

To be able to use the River Boat, you first need to de-monkey-fy the Paddler Toad in charge. The Eddy River Rapids can give coins and holds one of the game's trophies, so make sure to grab those too!

1	Go to the Boat Landing and speak with the Toad on the boat. Your first ride from Autumn Mountain will always start a cut-scene and the manual Eddy River tour will begin.
2	Choose which available Boat Landing you want to go to. The first time it will ask you if you want to stay at Shogun Studios or travel to Sweetpaper Valley, but Sweetpaper Valley is blocked by the Blue Streamer.

1. Unlocking Warp Pipes
2. Unlocking Fax Travel

Warp Pipes

In your first visit to Toad Town, you can already access the Musée Champignon (Museum). However, the doors, and the One World, One Pipe Art Installation are not yet available. To unlock it, you need to rescue the Toad in Graffiti Underground.

To rescue the Curator of the Musée Champignon (Museum), travel to Graffiti Underground, and you will find the Toad next to an entrance after passing through Mario and Princess Peach's Graffiti. After you rescue the Curator, you can now enter the Pipe that leads you to the basement.

Remove the Sticker

The Warp Pipes inside the One World, One Pipe Art Installation at the Museum leads to each Streamer found in the Paper Mario: Origami King world. However, the other end of the pipes is blocked at first, sealed with a sticker.

To unlock it, travel to each Streamer and look for the Warp Pipe; the color of the pipe depends on the Streamer's color. Once found, remove the sticker and enter the Warp Pipe to travel back to the Museum in Toad Town and vice versa.

Fax Travel

To unlock Fax Travel, you need to clear the Red Streamer first. Clearing it will remove the Red Streamer wrap around the Sensor Lab Headquarters in Picnic Road. Once removed, you can then save the Toad inside and access the Warp Fax Machine.

However, if the Satellite Office in Autumn Mountain is not yet available, you will be unable to travel to that area. Find all the hidden Satellite Office on each location and rescue the Toad inside so you can use Fax Travel in each place.
