What is the name for real-world objects converted into special stickers in Sticker Star? The answer is Thing Stickers.

In Paper Mario: Sticker Star, real-world objects found in the environment are called “Things.” Mario can transform these objects into Thing Stickers, which become unusually powerful attacks or essential tools for solving overworld puzzles. Examples include objects such as a baseball bat, scissors, and a fan.

Thing Stickers are different from ordinary Jump, Hammer, or generic attack stickers. They often have specific uses: a fan, for instance, can create wind, while other objects may damage bosses or alter the environment. Players typically create them at designated locations after finding the corresponding Thing.

The term can be confusing because “Thing” describes the object, while “Thing Sticker” describes the usable sticker version. Sticker Star’s broader sticker system also includes regular stickers collected from scenery, purchased with coins, or received from characters. Each sticker is consumed after use, so inventory management matters. Thing Stickers are especially memorable because some puzzles and boss encounters are designed around identifying the correct everyday object.
