'''''Super Paper Mario''''' is a [[Genre#Platform|platformer]] [[Genre#Role-playing|role-playing game]] released in 2007 for the [[Wii]], as well as the first game starring Mario for the console. Unlike the other ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' games, ''Super Paper Mario'' is a platformer and does not use a turn-based battle system, but rather incorporates RPG elements with platforming. The game fuses elements of 2D and 3D gameplay together, shifting back and forth between dimensions, once being described as a "2.5D" sidescroller by ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' magazine. | '''''Super Paper Mario''''' is a [[Genre#Platform|platformer]] [[Genre#Role-playing|role-playing game]] released in 2007 for the [[Wii]], as well as the first game starring Mario for the console.

The story focuses on [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]], and [[Luigi]] journeying across various dimensions to stop a villain named [[Count Bleck]] from destroying all of existence. In addition to the four playable characters are fairy-like [[Pixl]]s that grant the main party members various extra abilities, such as [[Cudge|hammering objects]] or calling up a [[Barry|temporary shield]]. As the players defeat enemies, they accumulate points and level up, making their own attacks stronger. | The story focuses on [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]], and [[Luigi]] journeying across various dimensions to stop a villain named [[Count Bleck]] from destroying all of existence.

''Super Paper Mario'' has a distinct visual style among the ''Paper Mario'' games. While most characters, enemies and items returning from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' retain their appearance, the game utilizes very abstract, inorganic shapes for its new character designs, which are assembled from simple polygons, circles, and lines. Its environments are equally geometric, and have tile-based layouts. For coloring, gradients, patterns and psychedelic colors are common for both characters and backgrounds. This visual direction, coupled with animations such as the rectangle selection effect for warping characters and color fill effect for appearing stage elements, seems to be inspired by digital graphics editing rather than traditional art media, as is the case for the rest of the series. | ''Super Paper Mario'' has a distinct visual style among the ''Paper Mario'' games.
