In Mario Party Advance[]
At some point during Shroom City mode, Mr. E visits Klepto Ruins in search of treasure. He asks for the player to help him search for treasure, and agreeing to help initiates the Treasure of Mystery! quest.
In the quest, Klepto quickly reveals the treasure's location when asked, and Mr. E asks the player to unlock it. The code is Klepto's verbal tic ("4444"). Once the treasure is opened, Mr. E leaves it alone before leaving, and Klepto gives the player the Map Maker Gaddget while leaving the actual treasure behind.
