To make your partners stronger, you can have them train for 3 Shine Sprites with the wizard in Rogueport. But once you've trained them once, you can't train them a second time. Or can you? After you've defeated Hooktail the dragon and earned the bomb as a partner, go back to Hooktail's castle. Head to the maze with sharp spikes where you previously found the key for a black chest. There's a crack in the wall. Make the bomb explode. You'll now find a white arrow. Give it to the wizard in Rogueport from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and you can have your partners trained for a second time.

In the tip 'shadow queen' it states that after defeating the Shadow Queen, you will only receive one star point for each enemy. This isn't entirely accurate. If you head to the Glitz Pit after completing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and battle Rawk Hawk, you will earn 4 star points each time you defeat him. While this may not seem like much, it can still make a difference if you're looking to train. Additionally, it's not very difficult since you can restore your health for free after each battle.

Bow appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door as one of Mario's Partners. Her dialogue goes: "That's Bow. Wait a second! Mario! Exactly WHAT is your relationship with her?!? Tell me NOW!

| MarioCube |

After defeating the Shadow Queen in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, you only receive one experience point for each enemy you defeat. So, whether you defeat a very strong or a very weak enemy, it doesn't matter. Therefore, make sure to level up a lot before defeating the Shadow Queen, because afterwards, leveling up will be very slow. If you still want to train after defeating the Shadow Queen, focus on fighting enemies that you can easily handle.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, there are some secret or hard-to-find ingredients that may be needed for quests or can be used at Zess T.'s to cook ingredients. An example of this is the Zess Dynamite, which is a bomb item that deals 7 Damage Points (making it the most powerful item in the game!) to everyone on the field.
