List of hidden blocks in Paper Mario: Color Splash
In Paper Mario: Color Splash, Mario can discover Hidden Blocks throughout the areas he visits. Like regular ? Blocks, these invisible blocks contain Battle Cards or Coins. Unlike first three entries, where Mario had help in finding these, he must locate them alone by either Jumping or Hammering suspicious areas (it shares this fact with previous entry). Like in Super Paper Mario and Paper Mario: Sticker Star, the ? Blocks (which includes hidden blocks) respawn upon leaving the area, so subsequent visits allow the contents of the blocks to be collected again. Some invisible blocks are used as stepping stones to reach new places or other items. There are 43 hidden blocks in the game. This page lists the location of each hidden block, the contents, and how to get to them.
