Guard Door

The Guard Door (short of it's full title as "The Guard Door of Bowser's Castle") is a character and object that appears in the game Paper Mario.

Appearance[]

The Guard Door is a large grey door that resembles Bowser's face.

History[]

There are three Guard Doors that guard certain areas in Bowser's Castle. The first Guard Door manages to lure Mario into a trap that leads him down to a jail cell partially seen when Mario is attacking a Koopatrol outside the cell for the Castle Key in order to access the castle itself (The same prisoners appears inside the cell). The Guard Door, however, tells Mario if he can make it back to that location, then it will let him through (though it is very confident Mario won't be able to make it back). Thanks to using his own and his partners' abilities, Mario manages to make it back to the Guard Door and it reluctantly lets him through.

When Mario and co. make it to the next Guard Door, they must answer it's questions correctly. The Guard Door will send some enemies out of three smaller doors and Mario must be able to guess which number of enemies came out or what there were more of to move on. There are 7 questions in total and Mario must answer 5 right. Getting 3 questions wrong will lead to a fight with three Anti Guys which is not easy to overcome. If Mario gets the answers right or somehow defeats the Anti Guys, the Guard Door will let him through.

The third and final Guard Door doesn't have any traps or questions but offers a challenge to Mario. He then summons the Koopa Bros. and tells Mario he must defeat them in order to pass. The Koopa Bros. claim to be even stronger than before, calls themselves The Ultra Mighty Koopa Bros. The Great, and Mario will lose. However before they could do anything, Jr. Troopa appears out of nowhere and defeats all four members of the Koopa Bros. with a tackle each. Jr. Troopa himself then challenges Mario into a fight in their place but gets defeated anyways. The Guard Door gets confused as he wanted Mario to fight the Koopa Bros., but Mario defeated the Jr. Troopa who was the one that defeated the Koopa Bros. (technically Mario beats the Koopa Bros. as he beats the guy who beats the Koopa Bros.) The Guard Door, believing that Mario can never defeat Bowser, allows Mario to pass. It was the final door that guarded the way to Princess Peach's Castle.
