- first task is to rescue Toads stuck against walls and floors by stickers
- in one house, you open a cupboard and a stack of paper and Toads fly out
- one Toad comments with the following

“Before locking us inside that cupboard, Bowser took the time to align our edges by tapping us on the table. Who knew he was so conscientious? We could all learn from his example.”

- another Toad thanks Mario for helping, then says he can now get back to contemplating his own mortality
- all these Toads work together to open up a blocked passage in town
- you can see and engage enemies on the playing field, just as with other Paper Mario titles
- hammer stickers make Mario hit them with a hammer
- mushroom stickers make Mario regain some health
- once you use a sticker, it is gone from your inventory
- gain coins for winning battles
- gain more coins for well-timed button presses in battle
- you'll come across an injured Toad trying to smooth his creased head
