In the scrap-filled area in Shy Guy Jungle, hidden among the scraps of trashed paper are the following two messages:
Parakarry was a party member from Paper Mario, while Goombella was a party member from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. These are the only two references to earlier Paper Mario titles in the game.
Additionally, a third message can be found in the trash heap which simply reads "XD3R-B8HH-9ZR2-FL16". Despite resembling a Club Nintendo or Nintendo eShop code, it registers as invalid when you attempt to input it on either service, and no further information emerged over the years regarding its significance.
Thank you for your letter.
Sorry I'm not here to receive it, but I
will get back to you shortly. Thanks.
Parakarry
