Description
"A pricey ring, the symbol of Frankie and Francesca's love."
First appearance Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2004)
“You see, I... I just dropped the wedding ring Frankie gave me around here... I can't possibly leave until I find that ring! Otherwise something may eat it!”
Francesca, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

The Wedding Ring is a jewelry and a special item in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It symbolizes the love between Francesca and Frankie.

After Chapter 5 is cleared, finding the Wedding Ring is necessary in order to start Chapter 6. While in Keelhaul Key, Francesca loses the Ring and refuses to leave the island until it is found. Mario must go to Keelhaul Key to search for the ring, eventually finding it near the entrance to Pirate's Grotto. Mario returns the Ring to Francesca, who then goes back to Rougeport alongside Frankie and Mario.

Later, Frankie posts a trouble at the Trouble Center (available after clearing Chapter 6). He has lost the Wedding Ring after returning to Rougeport. In versions outside of Japan, it is found in front of Garf's house in the easternmost area of Rogueport. In the Japanese version, it is found on top of the wall guarded by Gus. When Mario returns the ring to Frankie, he is rewarded with a Gold Card.

Trivia

  • In the Japanese version, if Frankie's trouble is cancelled before Mario collects the wedding ring, the ring will not despawn. If another trouble is taken and then the ring is collected, the ring will set a flag that is used by other troubles. This allows some troubles to be progressed simply by collecting the ring.
