The '''Magical Map''' is a treasure [[map]] that was given to [[Mario]] by [[Princess Peach]] to find all 7 [[Crystal Stars]] and open the [[Thousand-Year Door]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. When Mario has a Crystal Star and walks on the platform in front of the Thousand Year Door, the patterns on the floor will light up. The map will hover in the air, and the next Crystal Star location will be shown. Extra details are also added to the area on the map, such as the addition of the [[X-Naut Fortress]] when the location of the final Crystal Star is shown to be on the [[Moon]].

The map was made by the [[Black Chest Demons|four heroes]] after the [[Shadow Queen]] was defeated so the Crystal Stars could be found after the four heroes hid them.
