Complete walkthrough for Part 51 of Paper Mario: Color Splash, including strategies for Kamek and Bowser, and tips for sticker preparation.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Kamek Battle: Kamek is a relatively easy opponent. Use stickers from your "burn pile" (stickers you don't plan to use) and focus on blocking and dodging his attacks. Kamek may try to restore his other parts, but this should not pose a significant challenge.
  2. 2
    Bowser Battle Preparation: Before facing Bowser, ensure you have the best possible stickers. Recommended stickers include: Infinijumps, Clone Jumps, Slaphammers, Megaflashes, and other flashy variants. Specifically, you need: Refrigerator OR Shaved Ice OR Air Conditioner, Fan (highly recommended), Thumbtack (highly recommended), 2+ (Shiny) Tails, any of the Scissors family + Eekhammer OR Infinijump, and PLENTY OF SHINY MUSHROOMS. If you plan to use Jump stickers like the Megaflash Hopslipper, bring a Super Boot (obtainable at 3-6). These are likely best saved for Bowser's fifth phase.
  3. 3
    Bowser's Castle: Navigate through Bowser's Castle, where the temperature is extremely high. Follow the red carpet and proceed forward.
  4. 4
    Bowser Battle Strategy: This battle is tough. Your offense will act as your defense. Use a Tail sticker for your primary attack. If you have open attack slots, supplement with stickers like Flashy Clone Jump, Flashy Jump, and Hopslippers, but prioritize Tails. Bowser throws spike balls, fireballs, and his saucer. Use Tails to deflect these projectiles back at Bowser Jr. (this is a typo in the source, it should be Bowser), dealing significant damage (e.g., one spike ball counter deals 50 damage). The key to using Tails effectively is timing: press A right before the projectile hits you to waggle your tail and send it back. With consistent counters for about four to five turns, you can defeat Bowser Jr. (again, likely Bowser).
Tips
  • Using Tails to counter Bowser's projectiles is the most effective strategy, dealing massive damage.
  • Timing the A button press for the Tail counter is crucial.
  • Ensure you have a good stock of Shiny Mushrooms.
  • Prioritize hammer-based stickers over jump stickers in your album, but have jump stickers ready if you have a Super Boot.
  • Comet Piece (after defeating Bowser Jr. - likely Bowser)
