When [[Mario]], [[Olivia]] and [[Bowser]] are rescued and taken away from [[Peach's Castle]], they become separated, with Mario and Olivia landing in the woods. Mario lands in a tree, in which case the player must tap {{button|ns|a}} a few times. Doing so gets Mario out of the tree, as well as a collection of confetti. Olivia is nearby, though she is on the other end of a [[Not-Bottomless Hole]]. She gives him an empty confetti bag, allowing him to collect and store confetti, which he can get from the trees and flowers nearby. Upon doing so, he is able to fill the hole and rescue Olivia. Now that Mario has Olivia, they can use the [[1,000-Fold Arms]] technique to knock over a nearby tree, allowing them to reach the other side. Here is a [[? Block]] containing a [[Super Mushroom]]. He can then head right to the next area.
[[File:PMTOK Mario stuck in tree.jpg|thumb|Mario falls into the Whispering Woods.]]
After [[Peach's Castle]] is uprooted by [[King Olly]], [[Mario]] and [[Olivia]] fall into the woods. Mario becomes stuck in a tree, in which the player must repeatedly tap {{button|switch|a}} to get out of, and Olivia gets stuck head-first in the ground, requiring Mario to pull her out. Giving Mario an empty [[Confetti Bag]], Olivia instructs Mario to collect enough [[confetti]] to fill in the [[Not-Bottomless Hole]] blocking his path to her. After doing so and pulling Olivia out of the ground, Mario uses his [[1,000-Fold Arms]] technique to knock over a nearby tree, allowing them to reach the other side of a gap in the terrain and continue through to the following area.


In the next area, [[Peach's Castle]] can be seen atop a mountain in the background, wrapped in streamers. The area where Peach's Castle used to be can also be seen close in the background, with the ground torn up and covered in rubble. Mario and Olivia decide to return there and search for [[Luigi]]. After this area, Mario enters the deep wooded section, where whispers such as "Someone's here..." and "Who is it?". These whispers appear to come from the trees, and tend to change based on Mario's movements and actions. For example, if Mario hits one of the trees, they may comment on his hammer or scorn him for disrespecting the environment. There is a small pile of spikes nearby, with a Not-Bottomless Hole below a ? Block containing a sack of gold worth 1,000 [[Coin]]s. The next section consists of a few trees with vines dropping down. Some drop coins, some drop leaves, some drop confetti, and some drop items, such as a [[Faded Fire Flower]]. Items such as these can be restored in the nearby lake, as seen in the background.
In the next area, Olivia remarks at Peach's Castle wrapped in streamers, on top of the volcano, and the two decide to get to the castle grounds in search of [[Luigi]]. Entering deeper into the woods, Mario hears whispers coming from surrounding trees, commenting on Mario's arrival. Continuing through the area, Mario arrives at a small group of trees with vines that he can pull. Some drop coins, some drop leaves, some drop confetti, and some drop items such as a [[Faded Fire Flower]]. One vine, when pulled drops a withered flower into the nearby spring, reviving the flower when it becomes submerged. Pulling the vine again drops a broken stereo into the spring and pulling it a third time drops [[Birdo]] into the spring. After the third pull, a log drops from the tree and creates a path to continue through the area.


If Mario finds the leaves, he can use the [[Hammer]] to flip them over, revealing bags of confetti, coins, or a [[Super Star]] allowing him to run across a long layer of spikes to reach a treasure chest containing a collectible. One of the trees drops a log, which rolls against the nearby wall, allowing Mario to reach a tree with a golden ball. If Mario tries to pull the vine, however, it snaps rather than dropping the ball, causing the trees to poke fun at his incompetence. However, if Mario hammers the tree with the golden ball, a 1,000-Fold Arms circle appears, allowing Mario to yank the vine to pop open the ball to reveal confetti as well as a [[Shriveled Seed]]. Once Mario is ready, he must head up to the next area or head right to a ? Block containing a sack of gold.
A golden ball with a vine can be found on the raised ground. Pulling the lower part of the vine results in it snapping and prompts the on-going whispers to poke fun at Mario's incompetence. However, hammering the tree behind the ball reveals a 1,000-Fold Arms [[Magic Circle]], allowing Mario to pull the upper part of the vine, opening the ball and rewarding Mario with a [[Shriveled Seed]].


The next section is interesting, as there does not appear to be anything to do, but if Mario tries to leave the area, he ends up in the same place. After looping a few times, Olivia realizes what is going on and asks to rest on the nearby stump. Doing so angers the nearby trees, who reveal themselves to be sentient. They introduce the stump as [[Ol' Grandsappy]], who is ill and asks them to leave. The trees allow Mario and Olivia to leave the area to reach the pond and dip the Shriveled Seed in, turning it into the [[Soul Seed]]. They can then head back to Ol' Grandsappy, where it is revealed some of his face has been torn off. Fortunately, Mario can use some confetti to restore it, then give him the seed to return him to his old form. The trees separate the bushes and allow Mario and Olivia to move onward.
The next area, notably more dark and quiet than previous ones, consists of a large log with three trees to the right of it. Trying to leave the area, either by going back the way Mario came or by taking the path to the right, results in Mario looping to the other side of the area. Upon looping three times, Olivia suggests to Mario to sit on the large log. Doing so angers the nearby trees, revealing themselves to be sentient. Introducing the large log as feeble [[Ol' Grandsappy]], the trees exclaim that Mario and Olivia are going to be stuck in Whispering Woods forever. However, Ol' Grandsappy, allows Mario and Olivia to wander the area if they promise to help revive him to his former glory by means of the [[Soul Seed]].


In the next area, Mario and Olivia encounter a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] crumpled up and stuck in a bush. Mario must whack the bush with his Hammer and save the Toad, who will then tell Mario about saving other Toads and cheering in battle. Mario and Olivia then continue on into Toad's BBQ Foodeatery, where many more Toads have been folded and need saving. In Toad's BBQ Foodeatery, there are tents, a swing set, a campfire, some benches, and a log cabin. Many of the wooden objects in the area are made of trees from the woods, and the firewood, which are sentient, seem to enjoy being burnt. Mario and Olivia continue on to [[Toad Town]] after facing a few more [[Goomba]]s.
[[File:PMTOK Sweet Sap Loggins.jpg|thumb|240px|left|[[Grandsappy]] is restored.]]
Mario proceeds to continue to the spring, which revives items upon throwing them in. Throwing the Shriveled Seed into the spring results in it turning into the required Soul Seed. Upon doing so, Mario and Olivia hear Ol' Grandsappy groan and hurry back to him, only to find that a Not-Bottomless Hole has been created out of his face. After patching up the Not-Bottomless Hole and giving Ol' Grandsappy the Soul Seed, Ol' Grandsappy grows into a full tree again, and grants Mario a path to continue through the woods.


==Toads==
In the next area, Mario and Olivia encounter a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] crumpled up and stuck in a bush. Mario must hammer the bush and uncrumple the Toad, who then alerts Mario about saving other Toads and their use in battles. Mario and Olivia then continue on into Toad's BBQ Foodeatery, where many more Toads have been folded and origami [[Goomba]]s can be found. In Toad's BBQ Foodeatery, there are tents, a swing set, a campfire, some benches, and a log cabin. Many of the wooden objects in the area are made of trees from the woods, and the firewood, which are sentient, seem to enjoy being burnt. After leaving the Foodeatery and Whispering Woods, Mario and Olivia continue to [[Toad Town]].
All Toads are in the Toad's BBQ Foodeatery area.

Olivia, Paper Mario: The Origami King

Whispering Woods is a location in Paper Mario: The Origami King, a lush, green forest filled with sentient trees. It is located in the red streamer area and is one of the first areas to be visited in the game.

Layout[edit]

Mario stuck in a tree after falling into the Whispering Woods.
Mario falls into the Whispering Woods.

After Peach's Castle is uprooted by King Olly, Mario and Olivia fall into the woods. Mario becomes stuck in a tree, in which the player must repeatedly tap A Button to get out of, and Olivia gets stuck head-first in the ground, requiring Mario to pull her out. Giving Mario an empty Confetti Bag, Olivia instructs Mario to collect enough confetti to fill in the Not-Bottomless Hole blocking his path to her. After doing so and pulling Olivia out of the ground, Mario uses his 1,000-Fold Arms technique to knock over a nearby tree, allowing them to reach the other side of a gap in the terrain and continue through to the following area.

In the next area, Olivia remarks at Peach's Castle wrapped in streamers, on top of the volcano, and the two decide to get to the castle grounds in search of Luigi. Entering deeper into the woods, Mario hears whispers coming from surrounding trees, commenting on Mario's arrival. Continuing through the area, Mario arrives at a small group of trees with vines that he can pull. Some drop coins, some drop leaves, some drop confetti, and some drop items such as a Faded Fire Flower. One vine, when pulled drops a withered flower into the nearby spring, reviving the flower when it becomes submerged. Pulling the vine again drops a broken stereo into the spring and pulling it a third time drops Birdo into the spring. After the third pull, a log drops from the tree and creates a path to continue through the area.

A golden ball with a vine can be found on the raised ground. Pulling the lower part of the vine results in it snapping and prompts the on-going whispers to poke fun at Mario's incompetence. However, hammering the tree behind the ball reveals a 1,000-Fold Arms Magic Circle, allowing Mario to pull the upper part of the vine, opening the ball and rewarding Mario with a Shriveled Seed.

The next area, notably more dark and quiet than previous ones, consists of a large log with three trees to the right of it. Trying to leave the area, either by going back the way Mario came or by taking the path to the right, results in Mario looping to the other side of the area. Upon looping three times, Olivia suggests to Mario to sit on the large log. Doing so angers the nearby trees, revealing themselves to be sentient. Introducing the large log as feeble Ol' Grandsappy, the trees exclaim that Mario and Olivia are going to be stuck in Whispering Woods forever. However, Ol' Grandsappy, allows Mario and Olivia to wander the area if they promise to help revive him to his former glory by means of the Soul Seed.

Grandsappy is restored.

Mario proceeds to continue to the spring, which revives items upon throwing them in. Throwing the Shriveled Seed into the spring results in it turning into the required Soul Seed. Upon doing so, Mario and Olivia hear Ol' Grandsappy groan and hurry back to him, only to find that a Not-Bottomless Hole has been created out of his face. After patching up the Not-Bottomless Hole and giving Ol' Grandsappy the Soul Seed, Ol' Grandsappy grows into a full tree again, and grants Mario a path to continue through the woods.

In the next area, Mario and Olivia encounter a Toad crumpled up and stuck in a bush. Mario must hammer the bush and uncrumple the Toad, who then alerts Mario about saving other Toads and their use in battles. Mario and Olivia then continue on into Toad's BBQ Foodeatery, where many more Toads have been folded and origami Goombas can be found. In Toad's BBQ Foodeatery, there are tents, a swing set, a campfire, some benches, and a log cabin. Many of the wooden objects in the area are made of trees from the woods, and the firewood, which are sentient, seem to enjoy being burnt. After leaving the Foodeatery and Whispering Woods, Mario and Olivia continue to Toad Town.

Collectibles[edit]
