When Mario walks around he's as flat as his title character, but when he turns, instead of instantly reversing direction, Mario flips over like a piece of paper, temporarily showing his edge. It's a clever bit of detail that adds a nice touch to the look of the game. The backdrop of the game is literally that, it's a stage, complete with homes that have front walls that fall over to let you see the action inside and battles literally take place on a stage.
I'm not sure how the whole paper theme got snapped together with the stage theme, but the bizarre mix seems to work. The game itself is an interesting blend of elements. For the most part, you should think of Paper Mario as a role-playing game. You adventure through areas finding sub-plots to complete, new abilities and items to help you on your quest and new characters to join your party ' only all of this done in a very Mario Brothers sort of way.
You will still find platforms to leap from, hidden areas to breakaway or fly to and creatures to try and avoid or attack. Combat is also an intriguing blend of gameplay systems. When you enter into combat you will go to a new screen that looks an awful lot like a stage complete with an audience. Fighting the bad guys is done by selecting your attack and target, but there is also a timing element that transforms what is typically the weakest part of any RPG into a sort of mini-game.
You'll have to time button pushes or joystick moves to hit the enemy and sometimes improve the damage. You can also deflect or lessen attacks by button timing. On top of the action up on stage, you'll have to keep your eye on the audience which will either shout encouragement or throw the occasional item at you. When a partner's heart points are reduced to 0, the partner becomes inactive for the rest of that battle and later battles until recovery. If Mario's Heart Points are reduced to 0, however, the game ends and the player must start again from the last saved point.
Defeating enemies awards various numbers of Star Points to Mario; for every Star Points, Mario is able to level up. The battles take place on a stage in front of an audience; if the player performs well in a battle, the audience can assist Mario by replenishing star power, throwing helpful items on-stage, or inflicting damage on the opponent.
For every 10 levels, the stage will increase by fifty audience members for a total of after level Outside of battle, the game contains some strong role-playing video game traditions. For example, Mario's strength is determined by multiple statistical fields and status-boosting items that can be used in and outside of combat. The effects of these items range from healing Mario or his partner to damaging the opponent. Each badge requires a certain amount of Mario's badge points BP in order to be equipped.
Each party member has a specialised skill, some of which are required to solve puzzles to advance progression in the game. More party members are gained as the player advances through the game. Most locations consist of a set theme; Glitzville, for example, is a floating city centered around a fighting arena known as the Glitz Pitz. For many stages in the game, the story is presented in the context of a novel, and is divided into eight chapters nine counting the prologue.
The Thousand-Year Door contains several characters, the majority of whom are not playable. You adventure through areas finding sub-plots to complete, new abilities and items to help you on your quest and new characters to join your party ' only all of this done in a very Mario Brothers sort of way.

If you're not careful, a hostile audience can actually damage you. A happy one can power you up. The graphics are pure Nintendo, filled with towns bustling with the characters you find in all Zelda and Mario games, only now they have 5-o'clock shadows and are going about their typically mundane lives. The music supplies a nice theme to play to without being too intrusive. One of the only downsides of the game is the seemingly never-ending stream of text that assails you while working your way through the game.
There are times when it's like hanging out with a hyperactive 7-year-old who just won't shut up. Hey, I like plot as much as the next guy, but if you aren't going to bother to do some voice acting try to keep the text to something shorter than War and Peace. So, in turn, the process of finding each one is like a unique and self-contained storyline. Mario will meet some colorful new friends and foes and solve various puzzles using his ever-growing number of special abilities among some of the most innovative designs and ideas to ever come out of gaming.

The player starts off the story in a way fashionable to the first, with Luigi and Mario recieving a letter from Princess Peach, informing them that she has a treasure map, as shown in the game's introduction prior to the title screen. Along the way, Mario will gain a party of humorous and lovable partners, such as the shy koopa, Koops, or the lovesick Flurrie. They can gain ablities and attacks as well as Mario can and are a essential part for helping you take down enemies easier.
Essentially, there are a number of dungeons, with their own backstory and twists, characters, and the Crystal Star, to open the Thousand Year Door to find the legendary treasure that sleeps within. Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door formulates together a fusion of developed gameplay style that remains unique for an RPG, stunning graphics and excellent music and sound effects, a game that is quality on all fours.
A quintessential game set in the Mario universe, which is although paper - is never paper thin, just fantastic! Princess Peach has gone missing to no surprise, and it's up to Mario to find her.

Which serves as the game's core location. Branching out from there Mario will gradually discover its secrets as he attempts to decipher a treasure map Princess Peach left in his care. The quest develops to involve the search for seven crystal stars, each one a powerful artifact. The stars are all hidden away in different portions of the world.
