Description
"A key to the prison in Bowser's Castle."
Appears in Paper Mario (2000)

The Prison Key is an item found in Bowser's Castle in Paper Mario during Chapter 8. It is held by the Koopatrol outside the prison.

There are three prisons in Bowser's Castle used to lock the people at Princess Peach's party who failed to escape. The first one is accessed through a Guard Door that drops Mario into it. This one is not locked by a Prison Key and houses the Toad Minister alongside three other Toads. The second one is to the east in the first center of the castle and imprisons three Toads and a Dryite. The second one is to the west in the second center of the castle and imprisons three Toads and a Bumpty. When Mario sees a prison, he can optionally defeat the Koopatrol outside it and open the prison door. But if he does so, the prisoners inside will say that it is safer for them to stay there and wish Mario good luck defeating Bowser. One Toad will also make a makeshift Toad House with the slate in the prison.

  • Both Prison Keys work on either door, so Mario can defeat a Koopatrol and leave without opening the door then use the key to open the other prison door.
