In the 2024 Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (TTYD) remake for the Nintendo Switch, you have to complete two quizzes to progress through the story. One is in Chapter 1 at the Shhwonk Fortress, and the other is in Chapter 7 at the X-Naut Base.
The quizzes in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door are presented as an intense, high-pressure TV game show like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire or Deal or No Deal. The Thwomps who host the quizzes are pretty aggressive in their questioning, and the music is frantic and panicky. It certainly got my heart rate soaring. You get five questions in each quiz, and you have to get them all correct if you want to progress. So here are the answers to all 10 questions.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Chapter 1 Shhwonk Fortress quiz answers
During Chapter 1 of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, you’ll travel to Petal Meadows and Petalburg. There, you’ll learn that to get the Crystal Star in Hooktail Castle, you first need to get the Sun and Moon Stones, which are used to open the way. The Sun and Moon Stones are in Shhwonk Fortress, guarded by a hostile Thwomp. But the Thwomp doesn’t want to fight you—it wants to ask you quiz questions.
