The best way to get Star Points is to defeat every enemy you meet. This is easy at first but gets harder when you level up and the weak enemies don’t give as many points.

The two best locations to get lots of Star Points in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is as follows:

The Pit of 100 Trials

After you learn to turn sideways, you can go left of the Palace of Shadow entrance. There is a warp pipe that takes you to the Pit of 100 Trials.

The lower floors like 1-9 have easier enemies like Gloombas and Dull Bones that still give decent Star points. Try these floors if the higher ones seem too difficult.

Twilight Trail & Upper Pit Floors

Later in the game, look for the tough Amazy Dayzee enemies on Twilight Trail between Twilight Town and Creepy Steeple, or on floors 90-99 of the Pit.

The game warns these enemies to have high HP and run away fast, so beat them quickly.

When you see an Amazy Dayzee or other strong enemy, use Power Bounce or your strongest attack right away to take off a lot of its HP. If it tries to run away, chase after it and attack again.

With powerful offense badges and partners using Multi-Bounce, you can get 30-40 Star Points for beating a single tough enemy in Paper Mario: Thousand-Year Door.

Conclusion

To get to the maximum level in The Paper Mario: Thousand-Year Door, you have to keep getting lots of Star Points.
