'''Boat Mode''' is an origami-like transformation in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It allows [[Mario]] and his partners to traverse across water unscathed, similar to [[Sushie]]'s overworld ability in ''[[Paper Mario]]''; waves will push the boat back, however. Like his other origami-themed forms, the boat form is granted to him in the form of a "curse" from one of the [[black chest]] demons, this one in [[Pirate's Grotto]], where it is primarily used. Additionally, there is a [[minigame]] in the [[Pianta Parlor]] based around this mode.


Boat Mario Mode allows Mario to morph into a paper boat that can cross water, however, that can only happen by pressing the [[GameCube]] controller's "Y" button on top of a Boat Panel. It is very similiar to [[Plane Mario]] mode due to this matter. Unlike Plane Mario however, Mario cannot exit boat mode unless he touches another Boat Panel.  
It is similar to Mario's [[Plane Mode]] in that it can only be activated when Mario is on the form's corresponding panel, known as a [[boat panel]]. It differs in that Mario is required to touch another boat panel in order to return to normal.


A minigame in the [[Pianta Parlor]] utilizes this move.
In the remake, if Mario wears the [[Gold Medal (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Gold Medal]], the white paper usually surrounding him during Boat Mode's transformation becomes gold.

Boat Mode is an origami-like transformation in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It allows Mario and his partners to traverse across water unscathed, similar to Sushie's overworld ability in Paper Mario; waves will push the boat back, however. Like his other origami-themed forms, the boat form is granted to him in the form of a "curse" from one of the black chest demons, this one in Pirate's Grotto, where it is primarily used. Additionally, there is a minigame in the Pianta Parlor based around this mode.

It is similar to Mario's Plane Mode in that it can only be activated when Mario is on the form's corresponding panel, known as a boat panel. It differs in that Mario is required to touch another boat panel in order to return to normal.

In the remake, if Mario wears the Gold Medal, the white paper usually surrounding him during Boat Mode's transformation becomes gold.
