The Thousand-Year Door: Difference between revisions

The Thousand-Year Door, like the [[Crystal Stars]] and the Palace of Shadow it leads to, was created to hold back [[Shadow Queen|a horrifying demon]] that had destroyed the town that once stood within Rogueport's boundaries. The [[Black Chest Demon|Four Heroes]]' designing made it so that the Crystal Stars were required to open this door, although their seal on the door would only last for a thousand years and was therefore continually weakening before the events of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. When [[Mario]] placed all seven Crystal Stars before the door, the dark power caused the door and walls around it to crack. A vortex spewed out, and for the first time in a millennium, the Shadow Queen's stolen home was open. During the events of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', the so-called "treasure" that had been spread in rumors is revealed the Shadow Queen herself, but the ending actually shows that there was another treasure behind it: a near-useless [[Dried Shroom]], which could have been a much more powerful mushroom in the past but dried out over time. Its discoverer, [[Professor Frankly]], is still happy with his finding, because it is proof that civilizations ate mushrooms 1000 years ago.
