Enjoy Playing Paper Mario

Paper Mario, released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64, is an RPG that combines traditional role-playing elements with unique papercraft visuals. The game follows Mario on his quest to rescue Princess Peach and save the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser, who has stolen the Star Rod to become invincible. Throughout the game, Mario allies with various characters, each with unique abilities that help solve puzzles and combat enemies​.

The game features a turn-based combat system where Mario and his allies use special abilities that consume FP (Flower Points). Outside of combat, Mario can use these abilities to interact with the environment and overcome obstacles. The storyline is presented in a chapter format, with each chapter involving the rescue of a Star Spirit. Between chapters, players control Princess Peach in minigames that provide crucial information to Mario about his quest.

Paper Mario’s distinctive style and engaging gameplay have led to several sequels and spin-offs. Each new entry in the series, such as The Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario, has introduced different mechanics and storytelling techniques while maintaining the charm and creativity that define the franchise. The series continues to evolve, with recent games like Paper Mario: The Origami King exploring new ideas and expanding the beloved universe.
