Complete walkthrough for Part 28 of Paper Mario: Color Splash, covering the Tree Branch Trail and Gauntlet Pond areas, including Wiggler battles and item locations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In the first room, use POWs or Fire Flowers to destroy the web. Defeat the Scuttlebug, then heal.
  2. 2
    Continue east to the next room. Jump on the web to disintegrate it, allowing you to fall onto Kersti.
  3. 3
    Peel Kersti off the web and fall down. Head south, jump up the steps, and defeat the Scuttlebug near the door with a void.
  4. 4
    Correct the door with paperization to enter. Defeat the Scuttlebug inside.
  5. 5
    Grab the [Flashy Hammer] and [Line Jump] from the ?-Blocks. Continue until you reach your [*Hammer*] in the next room.
  6. 6
    (Optional) Grab the Secret Door if you wish. Drop down and grab the [Jump] sticker on the western wall.
  7. 7
    Hammer the ?-Block for a [Shiny Hurlhammer] and proceed to the next room.
  8. 8
    Make your way to Wiggler. Hammering small spiders yields Jump stickers and coins.
  9. 9
    Defeat the Scuttlebug in front of Wiggler and hammer away the web. The [Wiggler Segment] will join you.
  10. 10
    Hit the ?-Block for a [POW Block] and head back out. Go left to find an opening in the wall.
  11. 11
    Inside the opening, collect [Shiny Iron Jump], [Shiny Hopslipper], and [Shiny Line Jump].
  12. 12
    Return to the goal. An [Iron Jump] can be found in the room overlooking Kersti's torture chamber (look for brick blocks in a corner).
  13. 13
    Hammer the web to complete this level.
  14. 14
    After Wiggler runs off, you may need to buy stickers from Decalburg. Head to 3-8 afterwards.
  15. 15
    In the Tree Branch Trail, deal with the Scuttlebug and Ninji. Head around the swamp.
  16. 16
    Defeat the hanging Scuttlebug and jump across brick blocks to the right. Grab the [Shiny Line Jump] from the ?-Block.
  17. 17
    Head back up, defeat the other hanging Scuttlebug, and grab the [Line Jump] from the ?-Block.
  18. 18
    Defeat the Ninji and head east. Grab the [Line Jump] to the north across the swamp if desired.
  19. 19
    Head right. Go for the [Jump] in the background; this allows you to find an [HP-Up Heart] by heading left afterwards.
  20. 20
    Return to the web. Hit the ?-Block for the [Iron Jump] but do not jump otherwise, or the web will break.
  21. 21
    Head north to the Heart Block to heal. Ignore the swamp and head south, then ignore the ramp.
  22. 22
    Try to cross the swamp. Place a block halfway through to obtain three [Leafs] by jumping.
  23. 23
    Go up the tree ramp. After defeating the Scuttlebug, jump off the back edge near the 180 turn to find a block containing an [Eekhammer].
  24. 24
    Go back up the ramp and continue to the top. Grab the [Fire Flower] from the ?-Block in the background, then jump on the web to fall down.
  25. 25
    Hit the block for a [Hurlhammer]. Head west back to the previous area.
  26. 26
    Continue across bridges until you find Wiggler and a [Worn-Out Hammer]. Hammer the web to begin a Wiggler battle.
  27. 27
    This [Wiggler Segment] will join you. Continue westward up steps (find a [Worn-Out Jump] along the way) until you reach another [Tree Stump] scrap.
  28. 28
    Head back to the easternmost tree stump, jump off the back down to the [Jump] sticker below. Peel it off and head left to find a [Slaphammer].
  29. 29
    Go back to the healing swamp. Wiggler will jump in. Heal afterwards.
  30. 30
    Go back up the tree ramp and drop down to the lower section. Jump to the northern ledge and slip behind the bush on the right.
  31. 31
    Go north into the background and climb all ramps to reach the goal.
  32. 32
    Take the Wiggler segment and Tree Stump scrap back to the Tree House. Insert the Tree Stump to open up 3-9.
  33. 33
    In Gauntlet Pond, head up the steps and defeat the Poison Blooper. Watch for the swinging wooden log.
