How to Reach 600 Meters

1 You will begin the course in Plane Mode. Start by tilting the joystick Up momentarily.
The trick is to release the joystick as soon as Mario becomes an airplane.
2 When you start to decelerate, move the joystick in the right direction and tilt it downwards for a moment.
Be careful not to tilt it down for too long, otherwise you will not accelerate.
3 Alternate between moving the stick up and down to maintain altitude and continue flying, as seen in the How to Fly Farther video above.
Fly with the intention of keeping the plane high.

Can You Earn Piantas with this Game?

Earn 1000 Pianta Tokens Per Hour

Paper Mario Thousand Year Door - Piantas Earned in Plane Game Piantas earned in one hour.

If you can consistently reach 500 meters or more in one try while playing the Plane Game, you can earn up to 30-50 tokens per attempt. This lets you earn 1000 Piantas in an hour, but only if you can consistently get past 500 meters on each try.

Additionally, because every attempt costs 10 Piantas per game, if you can't collect any Piantas in the air or get less than 300 meters, you will not earn as much. Be careful and try to consistently reach at least 400 meters with each attempt.

Aim for the x2 Platforms at 500m

Paper Mario Thousand Year Door - x2 Panel

You can reasonably get 40-50 Piantas at 600 meters, but it is difficult and could stand to lose Piantas if you fail.

It is recommended to aim for the x2 Panel at the 500 meter mark, which can earn you more than 40 Piantas per game. This is easier than aiming for 600 meters, so consider this if you want to earn more Piantas without the trouble of reaching 600 meters.

Plane Game is Easier Than Other Games

Because Plane Mode requires only joystick controls, it is much easier compared to the other games. The picture matching game also only needs a few button presses, but it is more difficult as you need the correct timing to get bigger rewards.

Playing the Plane Game is a more efficient way to earn Piantas.
