Shine Sprites

Shine Sprites are hidden throughout the world of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. By collecting them, Mario can level up his partners. Simply take three Shine Sprites to Merlon, and he can make a party member more powerful.
After uptaining the Up Arrow and helping Merlon find the Ultra Stone, you will be able to powerup your party members a second time.

Click on the name of an area to see the Shine Sprites found there. There are 42 to find in all.
