I read the wiki, changed my settings, and the same thing is still happening! Please specify which options to change!

Did you read the part of the wiki page that says that some GPUs, and in particular all GPU drivers for Mac OS X, cannot be used for playing this game?
The settings you need are "EFB Copies to Texture Only" turned off and "Disable Bounding Box" turned off, but it won't make any difference unless your GPU and GPU drivers are supported.

Would Bootcamping into Windows fix it?

Probably, if the GPU itself supports it. I don't know which GPUs support it. You're better off asking at https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/

Im running into this same issue with dolphin-master-5.0-1267 on my Nvidia Shield v3.3. There are plenty of references/videos of on the web of playing Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on their shields without encountering this issue
I tried an older 4.0 build and that also fails. Im wondering if it's a v3.3 software update issue? The update was released only a few days ago

I cant find the "Disable Bounding Box" setting. Is this available via the UI or manual in the .ini file?

I've confirmed that the problem also happens on Nvidia Shield v3.2
