| '''''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.
| |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | '''''Super Paper Mario''''' is an RPG-type platformer for the [[Wii]], in the vein of the classic [[Mario]] titles, but with the aesthetic qualities of the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' series. However, it's not just a 2D side-scroller. The game fuses elements of 2D and 3D gameplay together, shifting back and forth between dimensions. As [[Nintendo Power]] magazine describes it, the game is the first "5D" sidescrolling video game. |
|
| |
|
| ''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.
| | The player must start out with is Mario, as time moves on [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]], and even [[Luigi]] will be playable and switched at anytime via the + menu. The game also uses a lot of references from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' For example, a certain power-up allows characters to turn into a huge pixelated 8-bit sprites of themselves to destroy virtually everything in their path. They look like they did in Super Mario Bros. when this happens. |
|
| |
|
| The game was originally planned for a 2006 release on the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and the newer Wii console, but it was pushed to the latter exclusively. Motion controls were added to certain gameplay features, pushing the release date back to April 9, 2007 for North America, April 19, 2007 for Japan, and September 14, 2007 for Europe, and September 20, 2007 for Australia. The game was re-released for the [[Wii U]] [[Nintendo eShop#Wii U|eShop]] in North America on June 16, 2016, in Japan on August 3, 2016, in Europe on August 11, 2016, and in Australia on August 12, 2016; however, the digital re-release was eventually removed from the Wii U eShop after its discontinuation on March 27, 2023, making it no longer possible for players to purchase the game, although players who purchased the title before this date can still play it as long as it is on their Wii U device. | | The game was originally planned for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], but Nintendo changed it to the Wii. Additionally, the game was originally going to be released in 2006, but the year has been changed to 2007. All of the graphics in the game also seem to have pixelated effects, including small squares to make up colors of objects and backgrounds; however, they are visible and share a style with ''[[Mario's Super Picross]]''. ''Super Paper Mario'' was released in North America on April 9, 2007 and in Europe on September 14, 2007. |

| [[File:Wedding4.png|thumb|left|The inter-dimensional wedding, where the Chaos Heart is created.]] | | {{spoiler}} |
| The story opens with Mario and Luigi being informed by [[Toad]] about Princess Peach's latest kidnapping. Believing Bowser to be the culprit once again, the brothers immediately head off to [[Bowser's Castle|his castle]], only to find him ''preparing'' to attack. A villain named [[Count Bleck]] then appears with his assistant, [[Nastasia]] and Princess Peach, who is his prisoner. He announces his plans to use Peach [[The Void|"to destroy all worlds"]], renders Mario unconscious with his dark powers, and kidnaps Bowser as well, with Luigi and the [[Bowser's Minions|Bowser's minions]] being sucked away too.
| | [[Image:Wedding.jpg|thumb|left|The interdimensional wedding, where the Chaos Heart is being created. This particular part is slightly different in the final game.]] |
| | As so many stories start, Princess Peach has been kidnapped and, upon hearing this news, Mario and Luigi set off to [[Bowser's Castle]] to save her from Bowser, whom they suspect to be the kidnapper. However, it is not true. Once they arrive and confront the Koopa King, he says that he was just about to do that. That's when the evil [[Count Bleck]], a mastermind who refers to himself and others in third person, appears, along with Peach. He uses his control of black holes to render Mario unconscious, then takes Bowser, the [[Koopa Troop]], [[Luigi]], and [[Peach]] to [[Castle Bleck]], which is in another dimension. Mario is the only one left in the keep, still out-cold. Bleck has possession of a book named [[Dark Prognosticus]] which tells of a marriage of a powerful king, and a pure-hearted princess, that will open a dimensional rift ("[[The Void]]") that will swallow the whole universe. |
|
| |
|
| Elsewhere, Peach regains consciousness to find that she and Bowser are dressed in wedding outfits and standing at an altar, with [[Count Bleck]] officiating. While Bowser says "yes", Nastasia uses mind control powers to force Peach to say "I do", and the marriage between them calls forth the [[Chaos Heart]]. Luigi awakens in the Koopa crowd watching the ceremony and attempts to intervene, but he is too late as Bleck uses the Chaos Heart to open a dimensional rift known as [[The Void]], fulfilling a prophecy he read in an ancient book known as the [[Dark Prognosticus]], in which all worlds are destroyed.

| [[File:SPM W1-1 3D.png|thumb|Mario in Chapter 1-1, flipped to the 3-D dimension.]]
| | Later on, Peach regains her own consciousness to find herself and Bowser in wedding outfits. It's a wedding that's been arranged by Count Bleck, where Peach is about to get married to Bowser! Bleck, acting as the priest, asks both of them if they will "take each other as their lawfully wedded husband/wife until their games are over". Bowser joyfully says yes, but Peach refuses. She is then put into hypnosis by Bleck's assistant, [[Nastasia]] and forced her to say "I do". Luigi, also in the area, wakes and tries to stop Bleck. But it's too late-because of the the bonding of Bowser and Peach, the [[Chaos Heart]] has appeared. Bleck begins laughing evilly and flees the scene with the Heart. |
| Back at Bowser's Castle, Mario is awakened by a [[Pixl]] named [[Tippi]], who brings him to the town of [[Flipside]] and introduces him to [[Merlon]]. He owns the benevolent counterpart of Bleck's book, the [[Light Prognosticus]], which indicates that a hero fitting Mario's description can stop the Void, which is visible in the sky above Flipside and slowly growing. Merlon gives Mario the first of eight [[Pure Heart]]s that he needs to counteract the [[Chaos Heart]]. Upon receiving the first Pure Heart, Mario has to place it into the first [[Heart Pillar]] to cause a door to appear on the top of [[Flipside Tower]] leading straight to [[Lineland]], where the next Pure Heart is. Merlon also tells Mario that he must also learn the "dimensional technique" from his friend [[Bestovius]] there in order to find the rest of the Pure Hearts.
| |
|
| |
|
| Meanwhile, in [[Castle Bleck]], the Count and Nastasia meet with the other three minions, [[Dimentio]], [[O'Chunks]], and the shape-shifting [[Mimi]]. Count Bleck promises to replace the destroyed worlds with a perfect world where all his minions' dreams will come true, and when Nastasia mentions that the hero of prophecy may be active, O'Chunks volunteers to take care of him, with Dimentio tagging along to watch the show. | | Meanwhile, Mario is awakened by a [[Pixl]] named Tippi, who brings him to the town of [[Flipside]] (where a small hole, The Void, is found in the sky). Here Mario meets [[Merlon]]. Merlon has the opposite of Bleck's book called the [[Light Prognosticus]], and he explains to Mario that the book tells of a hero to stop Bleck, which exactly describes Mario. But before he can do anything, he must find the eight [[Pure Heart]]s, one of which Merlon has. |

|
| ===Chapter 1: [[Lineland]]=== | | ===Chapter 1: [[Lineland]]=== |
| [[File:SPM W1-1 2D.png|left|200px|thumb|Mario proceeding in Lineland.]] | | [[Image:SPM_Lineland.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Mario proceeding in Lineland.]] |
| In Lineland, Mario first seeks out [[Bestovius]] and gains the ability to flip into the third dimension, allowing him to progress through the world. After climbing [[Mount Lineland]], Mario and Tippi reach [[Yold Town]], where they find another Pixl named [[Thoreau]], who assists them as they cross the puzzle-filled [[Yold Desert]] and are forced to fight O'Chunks before reaching [[Yold Ruins]]. The next Pure Heart is guarded by the robotic dragon, [[Fracktail]], but while he recognizes Mario as the legendary hero, before he can let the plumber pass, [[Dimentio]] appears and causes the dragon to malfunction, making him attack. Mario is forced to defeat him before proceeding inside the sanctum of the ruins, where he is given a Pure Heart by [[Merlumina]], one of the ancients who wrote the Light Prognosticus and lingered after death to await the hero.
| | Using the Pure Heart, Mario gains access to [[Lineland]], the first world. He manages to find the Flip wizard, [[Bestovius]], and gains the ability to flip between dimensions. He uses this ability quite often, for it helped him proceed to [[Mount Lineland]] and [[Yold Town]], where he found another Pixl, [[Thoreau]]. This Pixl proved to be very handy later on when Mario got to the [[Yold Desert]]. Here, Mario was greeted by [[O' Chunks]], a minion of Count Bleck with a Scottish accent who attacks him. Mario used Thoreau to beat the thug easily, and proceeded onward to the [[Yold Ruins]]. There, Mario went through some tricky traps and puzzles, until he made to the top of the ruins, where he was greeted by [[Fracktail]]. The robotic dragon was about to let Mario pass, until another minion of Bleck, [[Dimentio]], comes and corrupts him. He fights Mario, but was soon defeated. Mario then enters the sanctum Fracktail was guarding, and was given a Pure Heart by [[Merlumina]]. |
| ;Interlude
| |
| Meanwhile, O'Chunks reports back to Castle Bleck in shame, so the Count sends [[Mimi]] to deal with the hero, while [[Nastasia]] goes to look for any "goons" in the castle who still are not under the Bleck's control.
| |
|
| |
|
| Soon after, Peach (now in her usual pink dress) wakes up in Castle Bleck and joins a [[Hammer Bro captain|Hammer Bro]] and a [[Private Koopa|Koopa Troopa]] in search of an exit, but they are soon cornered by Nastasia, who brainwashes Bowser's minions. Peach, however, is teleported away before she can be hypnotized.
| | ===Chapter 2: [[Gloam Valley]]=== |
| | [[Image:SPM_GloamValley.jpg|thumb|200px|Peach traveling in Gloam Valley.]] |
| | He returns to Flipside, where his finds Peach unconscious and, revives her with some [[Spicy Soup]]. After picking up Peach, they head to [[Gloam Valley]], where a [[Bob-omb]]-like Pixl, [[Boomer]], joins them. The group finally reaches [[Merlee's Mansion]], where the next Pure Heart was said to be at. They meet Merlee's maid, [[Mimi]], who makes them do slave labor after breaking her vase worth 1 million [[Rubee]]s, and [[Slim]], a Pixl who helps out by giving them the [[Black Chest Demon|ability Mario got back at Hooktail Castle]]. Later on, Mimi reveals herself as a shapeshifter who serves Count Bleck, and chases them around the basement in the form of a huge spider. Mario and co. eventually find Merlee, who uses her magic to render Mimi un-invincible. The gang squashes the shapeshifter like a bug, and is awarded the next Pure Heart from Merlee. |
| | |
| | ===Chapter 3: [[The Bitlands]]=== |
| | [[Image:SPM_Bitlands.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The Bitlands.]] |
| | Meanwhile, Luigi attempts to escape from Castle Bleck, but is captured by [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa]]s under Nastasia's control, and receives a terrible fate offscreen. Mario and Peach use the next Pure Heart to enter the [[Bitlands]], where Tippi is kidnapped by [[Francis]], the nerdy chameleon. They meet the Pixl [[Barry]], who gives them advice for on their way to Francis' home, then returns to his hiding place in a bush. While they are going through the Bitlands, Mario and Peach come across Bowser, and after getting a good beating, and some talking into, enlists his help to find the Pure Hearts with them. The three manage to get to the next area, the [[Tile Pool]]. Here, they meet the Pixl [[Thudley]], who helps them escape the 8-bit waters (but not until after they beat up the gargantuan squid, [[Big Blooper]], that is). Afterwards, they scale the giant [[Dot Wood Tree]], and confront Dimentio (again in Mario's case). They defeat him, and ride the pixlated red wind to the end of that area. At last, they reached [[Fort Francis]], where they freed yet another Pixl, [[Carrie]]. With her help, Mario and Co. managed to get around the fort to get the secret passwords to Francis' room. Unfortunately, the cat-like door shot lasers at Mario and Bowser, so only Peach could enter. Alone, she faced Francis, who got a bad case of infatuation, and used a dating simulator to win her over. He failed miserably, resulting in his program going up in smoke. But when he finds out that she's after Tippi (whom he called Francine), he quickly retaliates. Mario and Bowser come in to aid her, and the trio toppled the geeky chameleon, and rescued Tippi. Tippi was so grateful that a Pure Heart came out of nowhere! |
| | |
| | ===Chapter 4: [[Outer Space]]=== |
| | [[Image:Outer_Space.jpg|thumb|200px|Mario, Tippi, [[Squirps]], and [[Barry]] check out something unusual.]] |
| | They used the next Pure Heart to enter Outer Space, but found out they could not breathe here (even though they could in the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|last game]]) So they went back and got a [[Goldfish Bowl|helmet]] from one of the [[Pook|citizens]] back at Flipside, then went back to Outer Space. Here, they met [[Squirps]], who served as their guide and ray gun to attack the space creatures. They made a pit stop on [[Planet Blobule]] so that Squirps could go to the bathroom. They found an outhouse, but had to irradicate the Pixl [[Fleep]] out of there first by giving some "toilet" paper first. Fleep thanked the gang by joining their party. After Squirps was done with his business, they went back onward into the [[Outer Limits]]. After that, they made their arrival to the [[Whoa Zone]], where the Pure Heart was said to be here (or so said Squirps). After going through all the weirdness of the zone, they found the final path to the Pure Heart being blocked by another one of Bleck's flunkies, [[Luigi|Mr. L]]. He seemed to more fore familiar to the others, as his attacks were of that of someone else they knew very well. The trio tromped L, but that just made him call for backup-his weird space machine, [[Brobot]]. Using Squirps, Brobot toppled, and Mr. L ran off. Squirps then led the gang to a statue of his mother, where the Pure Heart lied. |
|
| |
|
| Far away, Mario returns to Flipside to bring the Pure Heart to Merlon, and the group learns from a panicking citizen that a girl has fallen from the sky. They then go to investigate, and discover that the girl is Peach, whom they revive with [[Spicy Soup]]. Feeling responsible for the opening of the Void, Peach insists on joining Mario in his quest and helps him reach the next Heart Pillar, and Merlon sends them through the new orange door to the next world, [[Gloam Valley]].
| | Upon returning to Flipside, Tippi faints, leaving her at Merlon's and the gang finding the way into the next world themselves. Luckily, Fleep revealed a way into the alter-ego of Flipside, [[Flopside]]. Here, they manage to reveal the next door. They go back to Flipside, get Tippi, and enter the next world. |
|

|
| ===Chapter 2: [[Gloam Valley]]=== | | ===Chapter 5: [[Land of the Cragnons]]=== |
| [[File:Gloam Valley.png|thumb|200px|Peach traveling in Gloam Valley.]] | | [[Image:Muth.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Mario flees from a raging [[Muth]].]] |
| Mario and Peach cross Gloam Valley to reach [[Merlee's Mansion]], meeting an explosive Pixl named [[Boomer (Super Paper Mario)|Boomer]] on the way. At the mansion, Mimi is waiting in disguise as [[Merlee]]'s maid and uses various tricks and traps to try and stop Mario and Peach from getting deeper into the building, including forcing them to work in the mansion's power plant to work off a phony debt she levied on them for the apparent breaking of a vase. With help from another new Pixl, [[Slim (Pixl)|Slim]], the heroes outwit Mimi and enter the mansion's basement, where a spectral Merlee appears and warns them to be careful as they search for her. Mimi shape-shifts into Merlee to try and trick Mario and Peach once more but when the truth is discovered she reverts to her true spider-like form and chases them around the basement as they seek out the real Merlee, who had hidden in a bathroom. After more attempted trickery, Mimi fights the heroes, but Merlee weakens her with magical chanting and she is defeated and forced to flee. Merlee then gives the third Pure Heart to Mario and Peach and informs them that there are a total of four heroes needed to stop the Void.
| | They drop in (literally) to [[Downtown of Crag]], where they are given the job of finding the missing citizens who are being taken away by [[Floro Sapien]]s. As the gang tracks down some Floro Sapiens with [[Cragnon]]s, they end up fighting O'Chunks again (with the assistance of Dimentio's [[Dimension D]]). They beat him, and then find another Pixl, [[Cudge]], who helps them enter the [[Floro Caverns]]. There, they helped [[Flint Cragley]] find his cameramen, and use the key he had to enter into the deeper parts of the Floro Caverns. Eventually, they found out that the Floros have been brainwashing Cragnons with [[Floro Sprout]]s to do their bidding. Mario and Co. wandered around the area, until they found another Pixl, [[Dottie]]. She used her powers to shrink the gang when needed, and this led to everyone fighting O'Chunks again. This time though, Dimentio put a Floro Sprout on the Scotsman's head, making him look, feel, and sound dumber than he already was. They beat him in Dimension D again, and got the Sprout he dropped off. The Sprout helped Mario get inside the main hall of the Floro Sapien ruler, [[King Croacus]]. They met the king himself, then gave him a good beating. Only afterwards did they find out that it was the Cragnons who were doing the wrong-doing by polluting the waters with their garbage, which had driven Croacus mad. After the apologies, Mario and Co. were awarded the next Pure Heart that Croacus had. |
| ;Interlude
| |
| With Mimi defeated, Count Bleck decides to send Dimentio to go after the hero of prophecy, while Nastasia resumes her hunt for non-hypnotized stragglers around the castle.
| |
|
| |
|
| Meanwhile, Luigi wakes up and is manipulated by two [[Goomba]]s into helping them find a way out, but they run into Nastasia. [[Gary (Super Paper Mario)|One of the Goombas]] is hypnotized and the other Goomba willingly joins Nastasia's side, and they restrain Luigi so that Nastasia can [[Mr. L|brainwash him]] as well.
| | ===Chapter 6: [[Sammer's Kingdom]]=== |
| | [[Image:Sammers_Kingdom.jpg|200px|thumb|Sammer's Kingdom.]] |
| | They used the next Pure Heart to open a doorway leading to the [[Sammer's Kingdom]], where the Void is almost at full size. They were "welcomed" by one of the [[Sammer Guy]]s, [[List of Sammer Guys|Jade Blooper]]. They fight, and beat him. That's when [[King Sammer]] comes with his 99 other Sammer Guys, and explians the rules of his land. Beating all 100 of his men will earn them his treasure: another Pure Heart. So, the gang starts fighting their way though the gates of Sammer Guys. Unfortunatley, when they reach the 20th gate and defeat Rolling Thwomp, Count Bleck appears announcing the imminent destruction of the Sammer Kingdom. After Tippi has a brief chat with him, Bleck leaves. Mario and Co. go past the next five Sammer Guys, who are too weak to fight, until they meet up with the king again. he decides that they should have the Pure Heart now instead of later, and shows that it's in the chest on the 26th gate. The gang opens it up to reveal not a Pure Heart, but a bomb that blows up in their face, but nobody is harmed. The king is upset at this, and reveals himself to be Mimi. She fights the crew in her normal form, but gets trashed again. She doesn't care, because she was only trying to stall them. Mimi leaves, and the gang continues to rush to the 100th gate. But by the 30th, they are too late. The Void devours the entire kngdom, and everything in it. |
|
| |
|
| [[The Void]] grows over Flipside when Mario, Peach, and their Pixl friends return. After finding the third Heart Pillar, a yellow door to [[The Bitlands]] appears on the tower.
| | Thankfully, the gang manages to get back Flipside, unharmed. They see the door to the Sammer Kingdom still there, and decide to go back in. What they find is nothing but a large, white land mass. The Void left the Sammer Kingdom totally blank, leaving only small outlines of the palace, and a really long line for the gang to walk on. Mario and Co. continue to go through the dead world, until they come across the Pure Heart, or what was left of it, as it looked to be nothing more than a dull, heart-shaped rock. But before they could claim it, Mr. L appears and takes it for himself. The gang battles him, and his new [[Brobot L-Type]], and emerge victorious again. They get the Pure Heart from L, who later on gets "destroyed" by Dimentio. Afterwards, Mario and Co. go back to Merlon's to discuss what to do about the Pure Heart rock. Dimentio appears with the answer, and "destroys" Mario, Peach, and Bowser. |

| ===Chapter 3: [[The Bitlands]]=== | | ===Chapter 7: [[The Underwhere]]=== |
| [[File:The Bitlands.png|thumb|200px|left|[[The Bitlands]].]] | | [[Image:Fountain_Health.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Mario hanging around in some type of fountain.]] |
| Upon the heroes' arrival in the pixelated Bitlands, [[Tippi]] is kidnapped by the geeky, butterfly-collecting chameleon, [[Francis]]. Another Pixl named [[Barry]] witnessed the scene from behind a bush and tells the heroes how to reach [[Fort Francis]]. After passing through an underground area just like [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Mario and Peach come across some castles occupied by Koopas, Hammer Bros., Bullet Bills and Bowser himself, who proceeds to lose a one-on-one fight with Mario. Bowser explains that he was locked up in Bleck's Castle and does not know how he appeared in the Bitlands, and with some persuasion, agrees to join Peach and Mario on their journey. The three swim across [[The Tile Pool]], where they meet a new Pixl, [[Thudley]], and use him to defeat a monstrous [[Big Blooper (Super Paper Mario)|Big Blooper]]. Beyond the pool, the heroes climb [[the Dotwood Tree]] in order to use the winds blowing at the top to float over a gorge and reach Fort Francis. Along the way, they run into Dimentio, who transports them to [[Dimension D]] and fights them. He is defeated, brushing it off as a mere amusement, and monologues to himself that he was in fact using it to gauge the heroes' strength in order to ensure they can defeat Count Bleck when the time comes. Unaware of Dimentio's plotting, Mario, Peach and Bowser continue on to Fort Francis, where they find another trapped Pixl named [[Carrie]] and navigate their way through a sea of puzzles, [[Meowmaid]] robots, and nerdy memorabilia. When they reach Francis, he immediately develops a crush on Peach and attempts to flirt with her using an electronic chat interface that he created, called [[Swoon.exe]]. She rebuffs him and he is defeated in battle, and the surge of trust and happiness from the newly-freed Tippi calls forth the next Pure Heart from the castle.
| | Mario wakes up to find himself in [[The Underwhere]]- the video game Underworld. Mario looks around trying to find a way out of the place. He comes across a strange fairy-like girl who doesn't seem to like him, then makes his way to [[Queen Jaydes]]' palace. Here, he meets Jaydes, who finds herself in a predicament. [[King Grambi]] of [[The Overthere]] wishes to have his daughter [[Luvbi]] back immediately. Jaydes asks Mario to find Luvbi for her, and for doing so, will revive the stone Pure Heart. Mario's search for Luvbi ends up in him finding his own brother Luigi. With Luigi's special jump ability, the Mario Bros. find Luvbi, who goes back to Jaydes after being found again. The brothers return to Jaydes, who is happy to have Luvbi back. She gives back at restored Pure Heart, and sends them back to Flipside. |
| ;Interlude
| |
| Back at Castle Bleck, Dimentio muses that the heroes might be able to defy the prophecy, but Bleck is confident in his plan and calls for an [[Mr. L|unnamed new minion]] to take care of his foes. Nastasia lingers after the other minions leave and tries to get Bleck to reconsider, but while he does not give up after coming as far as he has, he gives her a chance to leave with his blessing, which she declines out of loyalty and love for Bleck. Unbeknownst to both of them, Dimentio eavesdropped on the entire exchange, but decides not to worry about it, since he has his own "projects" to attend to.
| |
|
| |
|
| When the heroes return to Flipside, Merlon explains that the castle once belonged to the Tribe of Ancients, and the Pure Heart summoned by Tippi was originally sealed there by them. He also acknowledges Bowser as the third hero of the prophecy. The heroes can then open the new green door to continue on their quest. At this point, the player has the option to return to the Bitlands to collect Barry, who will say he is impressed that they managed to save Tippi. Barry is the first optional Pixl.
| | The brothers head back to Merlon's to get the Pixls, then head to Flopside to activate the next door. The door ironically takes them back to the Underwhere, where Jaydes gives them a new task of escorting Luvbi to the Overthere. They make their way past [[Underwhere Road]], where they find Bowser and get past three [[Dorguy the First|Dorguys]], including fighting a ravenous [[Underchomp]]. Then they make their way through [[Overthere Stair]] where they manage to get Peach back by waking her up from a [[Golden Apple|deep sleep]] with a [[Black Apple|repulsive fruit]]. Finally, when they reach The Overthere, they end up freeing [[Nimbi]]s, fighting all sorts of [[Skellobit|skeletons]], and beating up the frozen cannon creature, [[Bonechill]], who was attacking the Overthere. It was later revealed that Luvbi was a Pure Heart, and after a fierce argument with her parents, Luvbi decided to transform back to her Pure Heart form, and was given to Mario and the gang. |

| [[File:SPM Outer Space Squarp Hole.png|thumb|200px|Mario, Tippi, and [[Squirps]] check out something unusual.]] | | [[Image:Castle Bleck.PNG|200px|thumb|The entrance to the castle.]] |
| The realm beyond the green door turns out to be Outer Space, and the heroes are forced to return immediately to Flipside and procure a [[Goldfish Bowl]] to use as a helmet in order to breathe in space. They soon meet an alien named [[Squirps]] who serves them as both a guide and a living ray gun for attacking enemies. They made a pit stop on [[Planet Blobule]] so that Squirps could go to the bathroom, but the outhouse is occupied by the Pixl [[Fleep]], who does not exit until the heroes find him some makeshift toilet paper. He then joins them and they all proceed through the [[Outer Limits]] to the warped, maze-like [[Whoa Zone]]. Here they are confronted by another one of Bleck's minions, [[Mr. L]], who they think they know. They defeat him, and defeat him again in space using Squirps' lasers when he summons his massive [[Brobot]] robot for a rematch. Squirps then brings the gang to the Pure Heart and a statue of his mother, where he remains behind as they return to Flipside.
| | They went back to Flopside to use the last Pure Heart to enter Castle Bleck. Here, the gang faces many foes, including strong, white versions of past enemies, and more of Bowser's brainwashed lackies. Eventually, the gang meets up with Count Bleck's most loyal minions once more. Bowser fights O'Chunks, Peach fights Mimi, and Luigi fights Dimentio. These battles all lead to the same results of them being lost to the castle, leaving only Mario left to fight Count Bleck. Before Luigi engages Dimentio, Dimentio reveals his true intentions. He has been plotting against Bleck the whole time, feigning loyalty to him and manipulating events for his own sinister purposes. He was the one who released Peach and Bowser from Castle Bleck so they would join Mario. He released Luigi from Nastasia's mind control and sent him to the Underwhere to meet up with Mario who he sent to the Underwhere to repair the powerless Pure Heart. He has been testing and helping them the whole time in order for them to collect the Pure Hearts and use them to defeat Bleck. Mario finally makes it to the castle's inner sanctum, where he is greeted by Bleck himself, and Nastasia. After his assistant leaves, Bleck attacks Mario with the power of the Chaos Heart, while Mario continuously jumps on him, having no effects. Eventually, Bleck gets bored with Mario and prepares a major attack that will end him. At that moment, Bowser, Peach, and Luigi come in to help. It looks like they survived whatever happened to them, and used the Pure Hearts to break Bleck's barrier. The foursome manages to topple the vulnerable Count, revealing the Chaos Heart. |
| ;Interlude
| |
| Back at Castle Bleck, Nastasia introduces Mr. L to the other minions and after he leaves, Bleck identifies him as the "man in green" that is destined to bring destruction to all, although the other minions are unenthusiastic about the newcomer. After they leave too, Nastasia voices her concerns that the heroes will come for Bleck and once again appeals to him to call off the plan. She reasons that he used to cherish the world and muses that if she had been "that girl", things would be different, but Bleck says the girl could not be replaced, especially by Nastasia, and leaves.

|
| |
|
| Upon returning to Flipside, Tippi faints and is left at Merlon's as the group finds their way across a three-dimensional bridge to [[Flopside]], the mirror counterpart to Flipside. They find the next Heart Pillar and meet Merlon's counterpart, [[Nolrem]], before returning to Flipside, collecting Tippi, and entering the next world.
| | As Bleck pleads for death, Dimentio emerges, seemingly murders Nastasia, and takes control of the Chaos Heart, and Luigi! He fuses them together to create [[Super Dimentio]]. Dimentio then sends Bleck, Nastasia, and Tippi to Dimention D, and combines his power with his jester abomination to make the beast invincible. Super Dimentio reveals that he's invincible to the heroes and begins to destroy all worlds. As all hope seems lost along with existence itself, Bleck and Tippi argue about the heroes' predicament, until Mimi and O'Chunks come with their support. It is revealed that before Tippi was turned into a Pixl, she was really Timpani, the love of Count Bleck, and that when Timpani vanished, Count Bleck thought the world was meaningless without her and used the Chaos Heart to try to destroy it. Now reunited, their hope makes the Pure Hearts reactivate. Tippi brings them to Mario and the gang, and uses them to render Super Dimentio vulnerable(as well as fully healing Mario and Co.). After an intense battle, Super Dimentio's body explodes leaving only his head. Barely clinging to life, Dimentio has one last trick up his sleeve. He leaves a portion of his power to stay behind even after death to continue controlling the Chaos Heart and wipe out all existence. Uttering his final "Ciao", Dimentio explodes and sinks into the ground and obliteration. Luigi is released unharmed, but the Chaos Heart's power continues and the worlds continue to decay. As the worlds begin to deform under the humongous Void, the reformed Bleck and his minions lead Mario and other three heroes to a door that Bleck summons. It's the chapel where Bleck married Bowser and Peach. Bleck and Tippi come to the podium, where they marry themselves. This was enough to get rid of the Chaos Heart and the Void. |

| ===Chapter 5: [[Land of the Cragnons]]===
| | Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Nastasia, O'Chunks, Mimi, and the Pixls return to Flipside, where they are greeted once more by Merlon. They are all curious to what happened to Bleck and Tippi, now known to be Blumiere and Timpani. Until then, they all participate in a victory dinner that [[Saffron]] made for them. Supposedly, Mario and the others were sent back to their own dimension after that. |
| [[File:SPM Muths.png|thumb|200px|left|Mario runs from a raging [[Muth]].]]
| |
| The heroes drop into [[Downtown of Crag]] and are tasked with saving [[Cragnon]] citizens who had been kidnapped by [[Floro Sapien]]s. In the [[Gap of Crag]], they fight O'Chunks again, but even with Dimentio's help, he is defeated. The heroes then collect another Pixl, [[Cudge]], and enter the [[Floro Caverns]], where they meet up with the famous Cragnon journalist, [[Flint Cragley]] and his crew, and discover that the Floro Sapiens had been using [[Floro Sprout]]s to brainwash their captured Cragnons into doing manual labor for them. They meet yet another Pixl, [[Dottie]], and fight O'Chunks once again, although this time he has been dumbed-down and powered-up by Dimentio through the use of a Floro Sprout. Upon O'Chunks' defeat, the Floro Sprout falls off dead, and the heroes use it to trick the Floro Sapiens into letting them gain access to their leader, [[King Croacus IV]]. They battle and defeat him too, and only then learn that pollution caused by the Cragnons had driven him mad and led to the kidnappings. Flint Cragley vows to spread the word and make his fellow Cragnons curtail their pollution in a first step towards peace between the two nations, and the three heroes are given the Pure Heart that had been in King Croacus' possession.

| ;Interlude
| |
| Back at Castle Bleck, Nastasia punishes O'Chunks for his repeated failures while Mimi complains about being bored and Mr. L picks fights with the others. Dimentio appears and quietly coaxes Mimi and Mr. L to attack the heroes, and they steal away from the castle.
| |
|
| |
|
| Meanwhile, the heroes uses their two new Pixls to unlock the next door to the next world, [[Sammer's Kingdom]], and are informed by Nolrem that the Void will destroy all soon.
| | Between chapters, an all-dialogue narrative takes place, concerning the story of two lovers named Blumiere and Timpani, which becomes increasingly relevant to the main story of the game. |

| ===Chapter 6: [[Sammer's Kingdom]]=== | | ==Gameplay== |
| [[File:Sammer's Kingdom.png|200px|thumb|The [[Sammer's Kingdom]]]]
| |
| In the Sammer's Kingdom, the Void is almost at full size. After defeating the first [[Sammer Guy]], [[King Sammer]] arrives with 99 more combatants and explains that the heroes have to defeat all of them to get the next Pure Heart, as per the laws of the land. After the heroes defeat the next nineteen Sammer Guys, Count Bleck himself appears to inform them that Sammer's Kingdom is about to be destroyed, but when Tippi confronts him, he beats a hasty withdrawal. The next five Sammer Guys recognize the direness of the situation and let the heroes pass for free, at which point the King returns and appears to present them with the Pure Heart, but it is just a bomb in a treasure chest, and the King turns out to be Mimi in disguise. She fights them with a barrage of rubees and is defeated, but she had only intended to stall the heroes. They hurry, but are unable to get farther than the 30th gate before the world is demolished and they are forced to flee back to Flipside. The door to the Sammer Kingdom remains so they go through, but all they find is [[World of Nothing|an endless expanse of whiteness]], and a deadened Pure Heart, now turned to stone. Mr. L appears with [[Brobot L-type]] to try to stop the heroes from getting the dead Pure Heart, but loses the fight and the Heart.

| |
|
| ;Interlude | | ===Playable Characters=== |
| After Mario, Peach and Bowser leave with the stone-like Pure Heart, [[Dimentio]] shows up and appears to destroy Mr. L. | | Playable characters are |
| | *[[Mario]] – He has the ability to view the two dimensional world from the side, making a three-dimensional path that would normally be impassible. However, this uses up power from his ability meter, then his health, and at the same time restoring the power gauge. |
| | *[[Princess Peach]] – She can use her parasol to float long distances and deflect damage. Playable after Chapter 1, she at first starts out in Castle Bleck, then ends up at Flipside. After this, she joins Mario in his adventure. She becomes unplayable in two points however; from after Chapter 6 to the middle of Chapter 7-3, and from the end of Chapter 8-2 to the middle of the fight with Count Bleck. |
| | *[[Bowser]] – He is able to breathe fire, a far more powerful attack than other attacks, and his jumps deal double the damage. however, his heavy weight makes him the slowest of the group. Playable from Chapter 3 onwards except from two points; from after Chapter 6 to the middle of Chapter 7-2, and from the end of Chapter 8-1 to the middle of the fight with Count Bleck. |
| | *[[Luigi]] – He has a higher jump than the others, allowing him to reach places otherwise inaccessible. First playable after Chapter 2, he begins in Castle Bleck. Afterwards, Luigi gets brainwashed and turned into Mr. L until the end of Chapter 6. He does not become playable again until Chapter 7 onwards, when he joins Mario's party. There are two more instances where he is not playable: from the end of Chapter 8-3 to the middle of the fight with Count Bleck, and the entire fight with Super Dimentio (because during that fight, Dimentio and Luigi both transform into Super Dimentio). |
|
| |
|
| Meanwhile, at Castle Bleck, Nastasia reports to Bleck about Mimi and Mr. L's disobedient hero-fighting and leaves Bleck to his ponderings about whether Tippi the Pixl was really Timpani, although he pushes the thought aside and reaffirms to himself that no one can stop the prophecy now anyway.
| | ===[[Audience]]=== |
| | [[Image:SPM_Audience.jpg|thumb|250px|''Super Paper Mario''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s audience.]] |
| | The Audience is a group of generic creatures who will appear whenever Mario, Peach, Bowser or Luigi attacks an enemy and does a stylish move, which is done by shaking the [[Wii Remote]] when stomping on an enemy. They appear on the sides of the screen and say "Nice", "Good", "Great", "Wonderful", and "Excellent". This approval of the Crowd gives the player a higher score than if they had just jumped on the enemy. The audience in this game only has a handful of species from the previous game. By doing this, you can get more points way faster. |
|
| |
|
| Back at Flipside, the heroes are despondent over the now-useless Pure Heart, when Dimentio shows up at Merlon's house and before anyone can stop him, he appears to destroy Mario, Peach and Bowser just as he had dispatched Mr. L. Mario wakes up to find himself alone in [[The Underwhere]], the video-game Underworld. He wanders around the area, breezily meeting [[Luvbi]] before finding his way to her mother, [[Queen Jaydes]], the queen of the underworld. She tasks him with collecting Luvbi for her, and in return, she agrees to revive the Pure Heart. Along the way back to Luvbi, Mario tracks down Luigi, who denies that he knows how he was sent to The Underwhere. After Luvbi is back with her mom and the Pure Heart is restored, Jaydes revives Mario and Luigi, sending them back to Flipside, where they meet up with Tippi again and open the next door.

| |
| The door takes them right back to The Underwhere, where Jaydes gives them a new task of escorting Luvbi to [[The Overthere]], where Luvbi's father [[Grambi]] lives. They make their way past [[Underwhere Road]], where they find Bowser, get past three Door Guardians (Dorguys the [[Dorguy the First|First]], [[Dorguy the Second|Second]], and [[Dorguy the Third|Third]]), and fight the three-headed [[Underchomp]]. They then ascend the [[Overthere Stair]], finding Peach en-route, once more in need of revival, although this time it is because she took bite of a forbidden [[Golden Apple]], and must eat another apple to recover. When they reach The Overthere, they find it already overrun with evil [[Skellobit]]s, while their leader, [[Bonechill]], had already frozen Grambi as part of his bid to take over The Overthere. He reveals that Luvbi is the final Pure Heart, having been given Nimbi form by Grambi, and intends to use her for his evil purposes, but the four heroes defeat him and his skeleton army falls to the [[Nimbi]]s. After a fierce argument with her parents and a final, tearful goodbye, Luvbi transforms back to her Pure Heart form and is taken back to Flipside by Mario and the gang.
| |
| ;Interlude
| |
| Back at Castle Bleck, Dimentio lets the others know that the heroes are alive and the other minions scramble to get ready to fight them when they come to the castle. Before Dimentio leaves, he then asks Bleck if the name "Blumiere" rings a bell, saying [[Tippi|Mario's Pixl]] mentioned the name. Nastasia once more tries to get Bleck to call off the prophecy, calling him Blumiere, but he denies his old name and identity and refuses to back down.

| ===Chapter 8: [[Castle Bleck]]===
| | *[[Bone-In Cut]] – Temporarily doubles the player's Attack. |
| [[File:Castle Bleck.PNG|200px|thumb|The entrance to the castle.]] | | *[[Fire Burst]] – Broils enemies with searing flames. |
| After the heroes insert the final Pure Heart into the final Heart Pillar, the final door to Castle Bleck appears on [[Flopside Tower]] and Merlon and Nolrem see them off. The castle is large and filled with enemies, and the heroes are soon confronted by O'Chunks, whom Bowser battles and defeats on his own. After the fight, the roof collapses, but O'Chunks catches it and holds it aloft to let his worthy opponents pass. Bowser also stays behind, and after Mario, Luigi and Peach exit the room, they hear a crash and find that the door will not open up again.
| | *[[Ghost Shroom]] – Summons a Ghost Shroom to damage enemies. |
| | *[[Ice Storm]] – Pelts enemies with frigid shards of ice. |
| | *[[Mighty Tonic]] – Briefly doubles the player's attack. |
| | *[[Pow Block]] – Rattles enemies on the ground and ceiling. |
| | *[[Shell Shock]] – Rams into enemies when you kick the shell. |
| | *[[Shooting Star]] – Showers enemies with a flurry of shooting stars. |
| | *[[Thunder Rage]] – Strikes enemies with lightning. |
| | *[[Volt Shroom]] – Briefly paralyzes enemies the player touches. |
|
| |
|
| Now one hero short, they carry on and are confronted by Mimi in the disguises of Merlon and Merlee, trying in vain to pry information on their weaknesses from them. She and Peach get in an argument and fight, with Mimi once more taking her "true" spider form, but still being defeated. The heroes turn to go, but Peach lingers to try and talk Mimi into leaving too; the floor then crumbles beneath the girl but Peach dives forward and tries to save her, only to fall in herself.
| | '''Defense Items''' |
|
| |
|
| Mario, Luigi and Tippi carry on, coming up against Dimentio, who forces them to chase him through portals to the various other worlds, before ending up back in the castle. Dimentio then tells them that he had actually been helping them all along, such as by saving Peach from Nastasia and by sending everyone to The Underwhere to undo Luigi's brainwashing and get the Pure Heart fixed. He explains that he wanted the four heroes to unite and defeat Bleck, claiming that the Count had no intention of creating a new world once the old one was destroyed, but that he did not have enough strength to stop him on his own. Tippi warns Mario and Luigi not to accept Dimentio's offer of an alliance, and when rejected, he proceeds to goad Luigi into a one-on-one fight. Mario, Tippi and the Pixls go on ahead while Luigi remains behind and defeats Dimentio, who responds by trapping them both in a force field in order to destroy himself and Luigi, rather than letting Bleck get his hands on the "man in green" from the prophecy.
| | *[[Block Block]] – Makes the player invincible temporarily. |
| | *[[Courage Shell]] – Temporarily reduces the damage the player takes by half. |
| | *[[Turtley Leaf]] – Reduces all damage by half. |
|
| |
|
| Mario and Tippi hear the blast and fear the worst, but know they have no choice but to continue to the castle's inner sanctum, where they are greeted by Bleck and Nastasia. Tippi and Bleck acknowledge each other as the star-crossed lovers Timpani and Blumiere, but Bleck still holds fast to his plan to destroy all the worlds and Tippi knows she and Mario have no choice, but to defeat him. Bleck sends Nastasia away and Mario tries to fight him, but Bleck is completely shielded by the Chaos Heart. Fortunately, Bowser (who fell through the floor before the ceiling collapsed), Peach (who landed on Bowser), and Luigi (who was simply found unconscious by Peach and cannot remember what happened) arrive to help Mario, with the uniting of the four heroes summoning the Pure Hearts and shattering Bleck's shield and leading to his defeat in the subsequent battle. As Bleck pleads for death and Tippi pleads for Bleck to live, Dimentio emerges and tries to finish off the Count, but Nastasia dives in front of the blast to shield him.
| | '''Recovery Items''' |
|
| |
|
| Knowing it does not really matter if the Count is alive or dead, Dimentio simply takes control of the Chaos Heart himself, thanking the heroes for using their Pure Hearts to defeat Bleck and pave the way for his own evil plan. He activates a Floro Sprout he had implanted in Luigi's head earlier and turns him back into Mr. L, before fusing him and the Chaos Heart together into the monstrous [[Super Dimentio]]. After sending Bleck, Tippi, and Nastasia away to deal with later, he adds himself to Super Dimentio and attacks the remaining heroes, who are unable to damage their new foe. All hope seems lost until O'Chunks and Mimi rejoin Bleck and help Tippi convince him to not give up, with the love and hope shared between them all conjuring up a new set of Pure Hearts, which Tippi brings to the heroes. Breaking through Super Dimentio's defenses, they defeat the enemy, but while Luigi is released unharmed, Dimentio leaves a portion of his power behind to continue controlling the Chaos Heart fuelling the Void. Bleck quickly brings the group to the altar from the start of the story and he and Tippi renew their vows of love and commitment to each other, creating another set of Pure Hearts which cancel out the Chaos Heart, make the Void disappear and restore all the destruction it had caused.

| The four heroes and Bleck's minions, including Nastasia, all awaken on Flipside Tower and are greeted by Merlon, who tells them the world is saved and invites them to a celebratory dinner. They wonder what happened to Bleck and Tippi, but believe them to be alive, and at the end of the credits, two distant figures, implied to be Timpani and Blumiere, are seen on top of a tranquil grassy hill.
| | '''Miscellaneous Items''' |
|
| |
|
| ==Gameplay==
| | *[[Catch Card]] – Catches an enemy's soul (rarely works). |
| ''Super Paper Mario'' plays largely as a side-scrolling platforming game. Yet, it retains some role-playing elements from its predecessors, including [[Heart Point|HP]], the ability to [[level up]], items, party members and focus on dialogue and plot. On the other hand, the game ditches turn-based combat, special moves and [[Star Point]]s. Instead, leveling up is determined by the player's [[point|score]], an element taken from ''Super Mario'' side-scrollers. The game is also structured in a level format akin to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', with eight worlds and four levels comprising each. In between these worlds, the player also interacts with the hub towns of [[Flipside]] and [[Flopside]]. | | *[[Catch Card SP]] – Catches an enemy's soul (almost always works). |
| | *[[Gold Bar]] – A bar worth around 100 coins. |
| | *[[Gold Bar x3]] – A trio of gold bars; worth around 300 coins. |

| ====Catch Cards====
| |
| {{main|Catch Card}}
| |
| Catch Cards are collectible items that can be purchased at the card shops [[Catch a Dream]] and [[Fondest Hopes]], located on floor 1 of Flipside and Flopside respectively. For each Caught Card of an enemy, the damage the player inflicts on that enemy increases. Empty Catch Cards can also be purchased and used to trap the nearest enemy on-screen in the Catch Card, effectively turning it into a Caught Card of that enemy. Caught Cards offer information about the character on the card, such as their maximum attack and HP (health points).
| |
| | |
| ====Recipes====
| |
| {{main|List of Saffron and Dyllis recipes}}
| |
| At [[Saffron]]'s and [[Dyllis]]' kitchens, [[Sweet Smiles]] and [[Hot Fraun]], located on floor 1 of Flipside and Flopside respectively, the player can give them ingredients to create special meals. Saffron cooks only one ingredient, while Dyllis mixes two ingredients. Usually, items heal more when cooked, though in some cases, their effect completely changes. The [[Dining Specializer]] shows the player different recipes, the number of which can be increased by inserting [[Cooking Disk]]s into the Dining Specializer. In total, 96 different recipes can cooked by Saffron and Dyllis.
| |
| | |
| ====Treasure maps====
| |
| {{main|List of maps in Super Paper Mario}}
| |
| Once the player can access B1 in Flopside, they can find [[Flamm]], who sells treasure maps. They can then be viewed in the menu, and they require the player to travel to designated spots across the different accessible dimensions. Treasures are marked with a red "X" on the map, and the player needs to use the Pixl [[Fleep]] to flip the spot marked with the red "X".
| |
| | |
| ===Objects===

| A list of interactive objects that Mario and company can encounter during their quest. For objects that primarily function as obstructions or hazards, see [[Super_Paper_Mario#Obstacles|here]].

| Spread throughout the dimensions are numerous shops, most of them being run by [[Howzit]]. Some shops are located in tiny houses, called "[[Itty Bits]]". Here, the player can purchase items for coins, sell items, store items, pick up stored items, and earn "Shop Points", which can be obtained every time an item is purchased. After reaching certain milestones with the Shop Points, the player is gifted with special items, reaching from a Cake Mix to a Catch Card of the special rarity class.

| [[File:SPM Blobule Stylish.png|thumb|250px|''Super Paper Mario''{{'}}s audience]]
| |
| {{main|Audience}}
| |
| The audience is a group of generic creatures who appear whenever Mario, Peach, Bowser, or Luigi attacks an enemy and does a stylish move, which is done by shaking the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] when stomping on an enemy. The audience in this game consists of [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, and [[Shy Guy]]s, only a handful of species from the previous game. They appear on the sides of the screen and say "Nice", "Good", "Great", "Wonderful", and "Excellent". This approval of the Crowd gives the player a higher score than if they had just jumped on the enemy. By doing this, the player can get more points faster.

| |
| ===Duel of 100===
| |
| {{main|Duel of 100}}
| |
| After completion of the game, the player may return to [[Sammer's Kingdom]] to fully complete the Duel of 100 by defeating all 100 [[Sammer Guy]]s. After the duel, [[King Sammer]] awards the player with [[Catch Card]]s of the [[party member|partners]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

| | |
| ===Pits of 100 Trials===
| |
| {{main|Flipside Pit of 100 Trials}}
| |
| {{main|Flopside Pit of 100 Trials}}
| |
| The pits of 100 Trials are found in the outskirts of [[Flipside]] and [[Flopside]], respectively. The pits each contain 100 rooms, each containing several enemies with one holding the key to the next room. The 100th room of the Flipside Pit contains [[Wracktail]]. The Flopside Pit is similar to the first, but with more powerful dark versions of enemies. It can only be accessed after the Flipside Pit is cleared and must be completed twice to battle the boss, [[Shadoo]]. The prize for completing the Flipside Pit is the [[Pixl]] [[Dashell]], while the Flopside Pit awards cards of the playable characters and their dark versions.

| {{main|Flipside Arcade}}
| | *[[Forget Me Not]] |
| The Flipside Arcade is found in a [[The Underwhere (bar)|beveragarium]] in Flipside. There, the player may play four minigames, one of which is unlocked via the [[Golden Card]].
| | *[[Mansion Patrol]] |
| *[[Forget Me Not]] - A card matching game with familiar characters from the game. Missing three times in one round is a game over. | | *[[Tilt Island]] |
| *[[Mansion Patrol]] - A shooting game that involves the character shooting [[Boo]]s to get points. This game marks one of the only appearances of [[Toad (species)|Toads]] in the entire game, other than at the start of the game, where [[Toad]] himself appears. | | *[[Hammer Whacker]] (Unlockable with [[Golden Card]]) |
| *[[Tilt Island]] - The player uses the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] to tilt a small "island" of sorts while collecting food items and dodging enemies. The more items collected, the higher the player's score is. | |
| *[[Hammer Whacker]] (Unlockable with [[Golden Card]]) -The player holds a large hammer and whacks giant shells back at the [[Koopa Striker]], who hits the shells towards the player. | |
| | |
| ===Piccolo===
| |
| {{main|Piccolo}}
| |
| Piccolo is an optional Pixl that can be found in a locked house in Flopside. A series of trade quests must be finished in order to obtain the key. The sidequest is activated by talking to Merlee in Flopside from behind the crystal ball.
| |
| | |
| ==Similarities to the previous ''Paper Mario'' games==
| |
| As with ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', this game contains many similarities and reused elements from the previous two games:
| |
| *All three games have a pre-title screen intro sequence.
| |
| *All three intros begin at the [[Mario Bros.' House]].
| |
| *All three games feature interludes where the player have to maneuver Peach through the enemy base.
| |
| *Peach plays an integral role in each of the first three games. In the first, she is captured and helps Mario on his quest through [[Twink]]. In the second, Peach is captured and is used as a vessel for the [[Shadow Queen]]. In this game, she is a main playable character and one of the Heroes of Light.
| |
| *All three games allow the player to play as Peach at some point. In ''Paper Mario'' and ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Peach is playable in the intermissions. In this game, Peach is a main playable character.
| |
| *Similarly, both ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' and this game allow the player to play as Bowser. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Bowser is playable in the intermissions. In this game, Bowser is a main playable character. Also, his combat style is very similar to the platformer levels during his intermissions in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.
| |
| *All three games have a small, peaceful town within Chapter 1, as well as a fortress/dungeon-like area as the final area of the chapter. (This is also seen in the game's successors' first worlds.) Also, like in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', a large dragon is a boss that is fought at the end.
| |
| *A red palm tree is seen in the desert, just as it was in the first ''Paper Mario''. As with that one, something had to be done near it in order to trigger something.
| |
| *Like ''Paper Mario'' this game has a chapter that involves climbing a mountain and crossing a desert to reach a ruin.
| |
| *[[Merlon]], [[Merlee]], and [[Merluvlee]] reappear in this game.
| |
| *As with ''Paper Mario'' and ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', ''Super Paper Mario'' also features a partner that is used to blow up cracks in walls and reveal hidden areas.
| |
| *This game also contains a partner with the power to evade enemy attacks, as well as getting past floors with rising spikes.
| |
| *''Super Paper Mario'' also contains a partner that can get Mario over spikes and other dangerous terrain.
| |
| *All three games include a reptile as a Chapter 3 boss.
| |
| *In both ''Paper Mario'' and ''Super Paper Mario'', the boss of Chapter 2 is chased by a creature with dog-like qualities. In ''Paper Mario'', [[Tutankoopa]] is chased by a [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]. In ''Super Paper Mario'', [[Mimi]] is chased by [[Gnaw]].
| |
| *In all three, the second and fourth chapter bosses work for the main villain (although [[Doopliss]] does not join Grodus until after he is defeated in Chapter 4). If [[Smorg]] is working for Grodus, then this applies to the sixth boss as well.
| |
| *In both ''Paper Mario'' and ''Super Paper Mario'', Mario has to run away from a chapter boss who chases him because they are invincible and cannot be defeated until the end of the chapter. In ''Paper Mario'', Mario has to run away from [[Tubba Blubba]]. In ''Super Paper Mario'', Mario and Peach have to run away from [[Mimi]] in her spider form.
| |
| *Also, all three games have a chapter boss that is invincible until the end of the chapter. ''Paper Mario'' being [[Tubba Blubba]], ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' being [[Doopliss]], and ''Super Paper Mario'' being [[Mimi]]. However, unlike Tubba Blubba and Mimi, Doopliss never actually chases the player, although they must run away from him in battle if they guess his name wrong when he asks them.
| |
| *This game features a plant boss at the end of Chapter 5, just as the first ''Paper Mario'' did.
| |
| *[[Lady Bow]] and [[Parakarry]] make cameos in this game, just as they did in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.
| |
| *As with the first and second ''Paper Mario'' games, Mario's first ally knows how to use the [[Tattle]] ability.
| |
| *As with ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', this game, too, contained a main villain that is being used as a pawn the entire time by one of his minions, and an ally to get possessed by the game's final boss.
| |
| *In both ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' and ''Super Paper Mario'', the main villain's name resembles an expression of disgust, and his minion who is using him has a name resembling a word related to insanity.
| |
| *In all three games, a character says "Still your tongue" to another character whose name starts with B: [[Lady Bow]] to [[Bootler]], [[Grodus]] to [[Beldam]], and [[Blumiere's Father]] to [[Blumiere]].
| |
| *''Super Paper Mario'', just like the first game, features a cutscene where an enemy asks questions about Mario and company's weakpoints, and the kinds of things that they hate.
| |
| *''Super Paper Mario'' has a childish shapeshifting character, just like the previous game.
| |
| *All three ''Paper Mario'' games have at least one party member that has to be fought first before they join. ''Paper Mario'' being [[Lakilester]], ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' being [[Vivian]], and ''Super Paper Mario'' being Bowser.
| |
| *''Super Paper Mario'' contains a Pit of 100 Trials, as well; and just as it is in the second game, it is entirely optional, and contains a boss that is supposedly more difficult than this game's final boss, and, in the case of the Flipside pit, is very similar to the first boss.
| |
| *In Chapter 8-2, Mario and company are lured into a trap by Mimi, where she tricks them into hitting a blue [[! Block]], similar to how [[Koopa Bros.#Yellow Ninjakoopa|Yellow Ninjakoopa]] set a trap for Mario, where he hits a fake [[? Block]] that causes him to fall through a trap door, as well as the trap that [[Lord Crump]] sets in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', which is activated by placing the [[Puni Orb]] in a fake pedestal.
| |
| *The final stages of all three games involve a shapeshifting villain masquerading as a familiar character that assists Mario and company throughout the game: a [[Duplighost]] impersonates Princess Peach in [[Bowser's Castle]] in the first game, [[Doopliss]] impersonates [[Professor Frankly]] at the Palace of Shadow entrance in the second and Mimi mimics Merlon within Castle Bleck in this game.
| |
| *The player needs to collect specific entities to progress through chapters in all three games: Star Spirits, Crystal Stars and Pure Hearts, respectively.
| |
| *The final battles of all three ''Paper Mario'' games involve a villain becoming invincible, where the entities that were collected throughout the game have to be used against them to remove their invincibility barriers.
| |
| *The final bosses of both ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' and ''Super Paper Mario'' offer Mario and his allies a chance to join them, and if "yes" is chosen, then the player gets an instant [[Game Over]].
| |
| *In addition, the final bosses in both of these games have the goal of ending the world.
| |
| *In both ''Super Paper Mario'' and ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', there is a new character that is the main antagonist for most of the game, but ends up getting betrayed/injured by the true final boss. Also, the final bosses of each of these games are Mario's allies who are forced to fuse with the main villain.
| |
| *Although Chapter 7 does not take place in a snowy region like it did in the first two ''Paper Mario'' games, it did contain a boss with power over the ice element, just like the first ''Paper Mario''.
| |
| *As with the previous game, ''Super Paper Mario'' had an ordinary enemy by the name of "[[Johnson (Super Paper Mario)|Johnson]]", as well.
| |
| *''Super Paper Mario'' and ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' both have legends involving four heroes. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', it is the four ancient heroes that originally defeated the [[Shadow Queen]] and were sealed in [[black chest]]s, in ''Super Paper Mario'', it is the playable character cast.
| |
| *All three ''Paper Mario'' titles involve battling a giant [[Blooper]] at some point in the game.
| |
| *All three chapter 5 bosses have more than 1 form.
| |
| *Each Chapter 5 features a non-partner character that goes along with Mario to the chapter's location, and at least one point enters the "dungeon" with him ([[Kolorado]], [[Flavio]], and [[Flint Cragley]]). All three have a significant part to play near the end; Kolorado gives Mario an item needed to enter the sixth chapter in return for the treasure, Flavio negotiates with Cortez to fight off an attack by Crump, and Cragley informs the Cragnons of the reason behind the Floro Sapiens' invasion and tells them to stop throwing trash into the river.
| |
| *All of Mario's partners in this game are a final boss in at least one of each of the first three released ''Paper Mario'' titles, Bowser in ''Paper Mario'', Peach in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' (possessed by the [[Shadow Queen]]), and Luigi in ''Super Paper Mario'' (hypnotized and combined with Dimentio).

| *In this and the previous game, there is a segment where the floor is flooded with a swarm of enemies. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', this happens with Dull Bones in [[Hooktail's Castle]] and the Dry Bones in the [[Palace of Shadow]] while in ''Super Paper Mario'', this happens with copies of Dimentio in Count Bleck's castle.
| |
| *Also, in both games, there is a major battle between armies of the enemies, one side being the good guys and one side being the bad. The two sides fight each other and the good side wins. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', it is Grodus' army vs. the capsized civilians. In this game, it is the Skellobit army vs. the Nimbis.
| |
| *In this and the second game, there is a segment where the player has to help Peach in some way using an item. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Peach herself creates a potion, and if it is made incorrectly, she can turn either big or small. In this game, she is asleep and the player has to bring her a fruit that can wake her up. If the player brings her the wrong fruit, she turns either big or small as well. The smoke effect when Peach is given said item is similar as well. Also, while bringing her the wrong item does not do anything, the player must bring Peach a [[Spicy Soup]] (made by bringing a [[Fire Burst]] to Saffron) after Chapter 1 to wake her up. It is mandatory to do so, because Peach is needed numerous times throughout the game.
| |
| *All three games require the player to be in at least the fourth chapter to cook two things together.
| |
| *All three titles required Mario to go through a fortress to progress through the game. Koopa Bros. Fortress in the first, X-Naut Fortress in the second, and Fort Francis in ''Super Paper Mario''. Also, both X-Naut Fortress and Fort Francis are high-tech themed.
| |
| *Like the first two games, the Chapter 5 boss is located in a cave.
| |
| *Both ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' and ''Super Paper Mario'' feature a card key system somewhere. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', it is located in X-Naut Fortress. In ''Super Paper Mario'', it is located in Floro Caverns. The design of both of them is also similar.
| |
| *The Tattle for [[Goomba]]s references the one in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. In the Japanese version, this is a throughline to the original ''Paper Mario'', whereas the English localizations lost the direct quotation.
| |
| | |
| ==Differences from the other ''Paper Mario'' games==
| |
| *Unlike the previous games, this game's pre-title screen opening takes place shortly after the game begins rather than before.
| |
| *This game is a side-scroller, unlike the other ''Paper Mario'' games.
| |
| **As such, this is the first and so far only ''Super Mario'' RPG to lack turn-based battles (aside from the [[Underchomp]] battle).
| |
| *A score system is used for leveling up, rather than [[Star Point]]s.
| |
| *For the first time in the series, Peach's design uses her current main dress.
| |
| *This is the first game in the ''Paper Mario'' series to not feature [[Kammy Koopa]]. Starting with ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', her role has largely been filled by [[Kamek]].
| |
| *For the first time in the series, damage cannot be inflicted on Bowser with a standard jump attack.
| |
| *The trend of Mario gaining a special attack from the game's key objects was broken, starting with this game.
| |
| *Unlike the first two (as well as ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''), the fifth chapter does not take place on a tropical island.
| |
| *This game is the first in the series to feature voice clips for Luigi.
| |
| *This game (as well as ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'') does not have an ice-themed locale.
| |
| *There is no parade (or anything similar to one) during the credits.
| |
| **It does, however, have pictures of the game shown during the credits.
| |
| *Starting with this game, Mario's house is not shown during the ending.
| |
| *This is the only game in the series with Luigi as a playable character.
| |
| *This is the only game in the series where the final boss theme does not change after the intermission.
| |
| *Starting with this game, a Goomba character does not give tattles.
| |
| *Starting with this game, [[Parakarry]] does not appear at the beginning of the game to deliver a letter to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]].
| |
| *This is the only game in the series where no [[Bob-ombs]] appear physically.
| |
| *This is the only game in the series where Mario does not break the fourth wall by giving the player a thumbs up.
| |
| *Besides Bowser's intermissions in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', this is the only game in the series where the player characters can swim in bodies of water freely, while in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Mario gets hurt by [[Nibbles]] if he falls into water, and in other games, Mario simply cannot touch deep water at all.
| |
| *In this game, [[? Block]]s have their contents reset every time Mario enters a level. In the previous two games and ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'', they permanently remain as [[Empty Block]]s.
| |
| *In this game, coins dropped by enemies are collected automatically, and the hero automatically enters a door after unlocking it with a [[Key]]. In the previous two games, Mario must pick coins and enter unlocked doors manually.
| |
| *Unlike in the previous games, mandatory party members automatically join the party at the end of the chapter if they are skipped using glitches.
| |
| | |
| ==Staff==
| |
| {{main|List of Super Paper Mario staff}}
| |
| The game was developed by [[Intelligent Systems]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. [[Ryota Kawade]] was the chief director and Chie Kawabe was the art director. The music is credited to Naoko Mitome and Chika Sekigawa. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] is credited as supervisor. The game was produced by [[Kensuke Tanabe]] and Ryoichi Kitanishi and executive produced by Nintendo's president at the time, [[Satoru Iwata]].
| |
| | |
| ==Development==
| |
| After wrapping up development of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', director [[Ryota Kawade]] wanted to make "other type of games" using the ''Paper Mario'' series.<ref name="Nintendo Power">{{cite|author=Williams, Drew|date=May 2007|title="''Super Paper Mario'': The Interview" - ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Issue 215|page=76–78|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> Kawade brainstormed many ideas for a new ''Paper Mario'' game that would retain the series' humor, puzzles and leveling system while featuring a new twist, eventually settling on the concept of switching between 2D and 3D (an idea which came to him during a train ride, where Kawade was thinking about the [[Bowser]] platforming segments in ''The Thousand-Year Door'' while looking at the other end of the train<ref name="Nintendo Power"/>). The idea was presented to [[Nintendo]], which suggested that an action-adventure game would best demonstrate the concept.<ref name="Nintendo Power"/>
| |
| | |
| The developers and Nintendo considered that retaining the leveling system was important, as it would allow less dedicated players to still enjoy the game and make it stand out from traditional ''Super Mario'' games.<ref name="Nintendo Power"/> The graphics and character design were deliberately designed to be surreal and unusual to invoke the idea of "a Mario world that's not really a Mario world" and because the idea "to show something that the player has never seen before" was considered a pillar of ''Paper Mario''.<ref name="Nintendo Power"/>
| |
| | |
| When asked by ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' if the next ''Paper Mario'' would return to the series' RPG roots, Kawade claimed to be uncertain if they would continue on ''Super Paper Mario''{{'}}s concept, return to the gameplay style of the previous games, or be a completely different type of game, but he concluded that "we want a challenge and to take on new things". Producer [[Kensuke Tanabe]] similarly stated that he would "look for a new and different style".<ref name="Nintendo Power"/>
| |
| | |
| ==Reception==
| |
| Michael Cole of Nintendo World Report gives the game a 9/10 and praises it for the wide array of different artstyles, emotional moments, and funny writing.<ref>{{cite|author=Cole, Michael|date=April 1, 2007|url=www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/13290/super-paper-mario-wii|title=''Super Paper Mario''|publisher=Nintendo World Report|accessdate=May 27, 2024|language=en}}</ref> He specifically notes the script's references to game and game culture and the variety of topics it jokes about. However, he does deride the game for its level design, specifically the easily circumvented platforming challenges and tedious puzzles.
| |
| | |
| In a 2007 interview, Seth Gordon, director of ''{{wp|The King of Kong|The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters}}'', expressed his desire to create a film adaptation of ''Super Paper Mario''. With the rising popularity of {{wp|3D film|3D movies}}, his idea for an adaptation involved constantly switching between 2D and 3D. However, Gordon also mentioned that, even though ''The King of Kong'' was screened for Nintendo, he has not been given an opportunity to speak with Nintendo about the idea.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20080126114909/http://www.gwn.com/news/story.php/id/14249/Super_Paper_Mario_The_Movie.html|title=''Super Paper Mario'': The Movie|publisher=Gameworld Network|accessdate=May 27, 2024}}</ref>

| |align=left|''In the end, while it's not quite on par with some of the other entries in the series, Super Paper Mario stands as an engaging and fun Wii game that's well worth your time. Though the minor camera and pacing issues as well as the underwhelming audio keep the game from being a totally polished experience, there's plenty to appreciate. Super Paper Mario's humorous story, accessible gameplay, inventive design, cool visual style, and impressive amount of content give it an undeniable charm. Anyone with a Wii should check it out.''

| |
| |align=left|''Super Paper Mario is a rock-solid entry into the Wii's expanding library of games. It's of a substantially higher quality than the majority of third-party games recently released and as such, it should appeal to virtually everyone who owns the console. It's well worth the price of admission and if you were on the fence before, rest assured that this one's worth your time and money.''

| |align=left|''So an admittedly muddled review. Is it a new Wii must-have? I'm going with, perhaps. It uses the Wii tech so cleverly, remembering that simple is best, but letting it play in a way impossible on any other console. It's non-stop hilarious, and utterly adorable. If only it had been more inventive with the 3D potential, it would have been a stand-out classic. As it is, subdued by this shortfall, it's a gorgeous, confusing little buddy, that's lovely to hang out with.''

| |
| ''Super Paper Mario'' was originally developed as a title for the Nintendo GameCube, under the same name. The game was also at one point considered for release on both the GameCube and Wii consoles. The Pixls were also initially named "Fairens," and all but Tippi seemed to have initially been one single Fairen that would have morphed into different forms depending on the ability used.

|
| |
|
| A [[Gold Fuzzy]] makes an appearance on the back cover of the guidebook, but no Gold Fuzzies appear in-game.
| | ===The Pits of 100 Trials=== |
| | *[[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] |
| | *[[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]] |
|
| |
|
| ==Regional differences== | | ===The Sammer Guy Tournament=== |
| In the American version of ''Super Paper Mario'', [[Dimentio]] insults Luigi by calling his mustache a "shag." Because this term doubles as a vulgar slang term in British English, the line was changed to have Dimentio call Luigi "pushover" in the British version. Similarly, most instances of "spank" were changed to "yell" or "clobber" in the British version. This is most notable with O'Chunks's dialogue.
| | *After the player beats the game, they can also do the Sammer Guy Tournament, this time being able to do the entire 100 gates, without the kingdom being destroyed again. |
|
| |
|
| Several names were also changed:
| | == Trivia == |
| * The floors of [[Flipside]] and [[Flopside]] are named according to American convention (First/Second/Third Floor) in the American version, the European convention (Ground/First/Second Floor) in the British version.
| |
| * [[Chap (green)|Chap]], the green-colored character found on the second floor of Flipside, is named Glim in the PAL version.
| |
| * [[Muffy (1F)|Muffy]], the pink-colored character found on the first floor of Flipside, is named Tina in the PAL version.
| |
| * [[Muffy (2F)|Muffy]], the pink-colored character found on the second floor of Flipside, is named Lucy in the PAL version.
| |
| * [[Buffy]], the purple-colored character found on the first floor of Flopside, is named Nina in the PAL version.
| |
| * [[Lucy]], the purple-colored character found on the second floor of Flopside, is named Lacy in the PAL version.
| |
| * [[Spit Roast]]s are known as Roast Meats in the British version.
| |
| * The [[Cooking Disk]]s are named by abbreviation of their colors (R = red, W = white, Y = yellow, B = blue, G = green, PU = purple) in the American version, and by numbers (2 to 7) in British and other versions.
| |
| * [[Gnip]]s, the dog-like creatures in [[Merlee's Mansion]], are called Howls in the British version. Similarly, [[Gnaw]] is named Growl in the British version.
| |
| * [[Tuff (citizen)|Tuff]], the citizen in [[Downtown of Crag]], is named Scoria in the British version.
| |
| * [[Yellow Apple]]s are known as Orange Apples in the British version.
| |
| | |
| ==Notable mistakes and errors==
| |
| *When Fracktail and Wracktail first appear, the boxes they are contained in cut off parts of their body, regardless if the game is set to display in 4:3 or 16:9.
| |
| *Some of Fracktail's dialogue is contained in the normal speech bubble rather than the speech bubble for robotic characters. This would be corrected in the Japanese and European versions.<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Super_Paper_Mario#Chapter_1|title=''Super Paper Mario''|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=May 27, 2024}}</ref>
| |
| *During the cutscene in which [[Count Bleck]]'s barrier is broken, [[Princess Peach]] speaks a line that was likely intended for Bleck: "What is now happening to... Count Bleck?!"<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnhiWiqEeZg&t=213s|timestamp=03:33|title=''Super Paper Mario'' - Count Bleck battle|publisher=YouTube|author=AngeloBlaze|accessdate=May 27, 2024}}</ref>
| |
| *In Chapter 3-4, when Francis shouts, "HOT BABE IN ROOM!" prior to his boss battle, he leans back, causing his speech bubble that would normally point towards him in his idle position to misalign and point towards Peach instead, making it appear as if she uttered the line.<ref>{{cite|url=www.suppermariobroth.com/post/176310780150/in-super-paper-mario-a-speech-bubbles|title=In Super Paper Mario, a speech bubble’s poorly-aligned tail makes it appear as though Peach is saying “HOT BABE IN ROOM!”. Francis’s speech bubbles are coded to come out of the resting position of his mouth, but as he throws his body backwards during this animation, his speech bubble seems to come out of nowhere. In addition, by coincidence, the bubble’s tail lines up with Peach’s face, resulting in this effect.|publisher=Supper Mario Broth|date=July 26, 2018|language=en|accessdate=May 27, 2024}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Glitches==
| |
| {{main|List of Super Paper Mario glitches}}
| |
| | |
| ===Clipping through objects===
| |
| If Mario flips dimensions, goes beside a slanted object, and flips back into 2D, he is able to walk through the object.
| |
| | |
| ===Infinite jump glitch===
| |
| [[File:SPM Thudley Jump glitch.gif|thumb|100px|right|Mario performing a midair jump using [[Thudley]].]]
| |
| Using Mario and [[Thudley]], the player should [[Ground Pound]] with the {{button|wii|1}} button, and just as Thudley's ground pound reaches maximum height, cancel it and flip to 3-D. The mechanic of jumping in midair after flipping allows this trick to be performed repeatedly to gain height and distance.
| |
| | |
| ===Platform clipping===
| |
| The player must be Luigi and must be under a platform moving down. To start the glitch, Luigi must high jump and hit the platform moving down. The platform will keep moving, and when Luigi starts falling, he should jump immediately. Luigi should be on the platform.

| |
| *''[[Game & Watch]]'': The Flipside and Flopside Pit of 100 Trials design is based on the design of Game & Watch games.
| |
| *''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'': Super Dimentio's simile taunt to the party after the first half of the battle has him comparing the party to upside-down turtles as they wallow in helplessness, alluding to how [[Shellcreeper]]s are defeated.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'':
| |
| **The structure of the story is an allusion to this game, featuring eight worlds, each one containing four levels (here termed chapters), which use the same level code format.
| |
| **When Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, or a Koopa Troopa gets a Mega Star, they turn into screen-sized versions of their sprites from this game; similarly, the [[Pal Pill]]s create eight small Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Bowser sprites from this game to aid the player. The sprite for the [[Shell Shock (item)|Shell Shock]] is also the same sprite.
| |
| **The design for [[? Block]]s is based upon those of this game.
| |
| **When [[Piccolo]] is in use, she causes the characters to have the same sound effects as in the original ''Super Mario Bros.''
| |
| **World 1-1 has been recreated in Chapter 1-1 (which also has a rendition of the main theme), World 1-2 has been recreated in Chapter 3-1, World 2-1 is recreated in Chapter 5-3, and World 2-2 is recreated in Chapter 3-2.
| |
| **Underground rooms filled completely with coins reappear.
| |
| **Bowser's castle in the Bitlands is based on the castle designs of this game.
| |
| **One of the [[Sammer Guy]]s says "Sorry, but your prize is in another castle", referring what the Toads say after being rescued from [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowsers]] ("Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!").
| |
| **When Mario is sent to The Underwhere, there is a reference to the [[Minus World]].
| |
| **In Outer Space, there are constellations of Fire Flowers, Super Mushrooms, and Koopa shells at the background.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'': When Mario and co. are sent to The Underwhere, someone references a [[Poison Mushroom]], a power-up (or rather, power-down) from this game as a Poison 1-Up Mushroom.
| |
| *''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series: When [[Fracktail]] short-circuits, he says, "I AM ERROR," a reference to the character [[zeldawiki:Error|Error]]'s line from ''[[zeldawiki:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''. [[Rubee]]s resemble [[zeldawiki:Rupee|Rupees]], the currency in this game series.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': Francis' must-buy list includes something called ''Cyborg Wart'', a reference to [[Wart]], the final boss of this game.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': The theme song that plays when the [[Big Blooper (Super Paper Mario)|Big Blooper]] appears in Chapter 3-2 is an arrangement of the underwater background music that plays in this game. At the start of the [[Yold Ruins]], there is a place where Mario must avoid bottomless pits and a [[Fire Bar]] in order to get to a door. There is a [[? Block]] above where the Fire Bar is. Additionally, if Mario climbs the platforms to the area above the exit, he can find a secret treasure chest. This is an allusion to the first fortress in World 1 of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', where the secret is found by flying above where the door was and the secret was the [[Recorder]]. Bowser's battle theme is a remix of the music playing before Mario selects a level in [[Dark Land]]. Francis' to-buy list includes a "''Tanooki suit made with real tanooki fur''", a reference to the [[Tanooki Suit]] from this game.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario World]]'': When the player hits the blue switch in Chapter 1-2, it shows the first part of [[Yoshi's Island 3]]. Part of the main theme is arranged into Chapter 1-1's music.
| |
| *''[[Paper Mario]]'': Every partner in this game returns as a Catch Card. Francis also has posters of [[Lady Bow]] and [[Bootler]]. [[Tubba Blubba]] is also mentioned by Francis, stating that there is a TV show called "''The Blubbening''", which stars him. Also, Mimi makes two direct references to this game. The first part is when she shapeshifts into Bowser and yells at Dimentio for reading her diary (which is a reference to Peach and [[Twink]] reading Bowser's diary), and the second part is when Mimi shapeshifts into Merlee, asking Mario and company about their weakpoints, just as Bowser and [[Kammy]] did to Peach. Also, at the beginning of the game, Mario has a picture with all eight partners from both ''Paper Mario'' and its sequel. Also, the noise that plays when an enemy is defeated (when it disappears) is the noise that plays in ''Paper Mario'' when an enemy disappears, only sped up. The song that plays after the character completes a chapter (while a piece of paper at the middle of the screen is telling the chapter's story) is the ''Paper Mario''{{'}}s plain music.

Francis also has plush toys of the [[Yoshi Kid|Yoshi]], [[Vivian]], [[Bobbery|Admiral Bobbery]], and [[Pennington]], along with a poster of [[Petuni]]. [[Grodus|Sir Grodus]] and the [[X-Naut]]s are also referenced by him when he mentioned the TV shows, "''The Grodus Chronicles''" and "''Starship X-Naut''". On Francis' things to buy list, he wants a [[Ms. Mowz]] doll with "real smooching action", as well as the DVD, "''Harder Than Bedrawk: The [[Rawk Hawk]] Story''". A [[Magnus von Grapple|Magnus Von Grapple]] action figure is also on that list. Additionally, Fracktail and Wracktail are homages to [[Hooktail]] and [[Bonetail]], and one of the Sammer Guys is nicknamed "[[List of Sammer Guys#Thousand-Year Roar|Thousand-Year Roar]]". Within [[Heronicus]]' house are the stone heads from [[Keelhaul Key]]. Also, as mentioned above, Mario has a picture of all seven partners from this game (with [[Flurrie]] being the most noticeable), as well as the partners from the first game.

| ==Trivia==
| | *The [[Light Prognosticus]] confirms the possibility of an sequel to ''Super Paper Mario'': according to [[Merlon]] and [[Nolrem]], the last page says that, even if [[Count Bleck]] (or [[Dimentio]], as [[Super Dimentio]]) is beaten, the [[Dark Prognosticus]] and [[The Void]] is just pushed into the future at an unknown and uncertain point and time. |
| *The Japanese save data description says 「ペラペラマリオの超次元大冒険!」 | | *As stated above, ''Super Paper Mario'' was originally a GameCube game. It was later moved to the Wii (and, for a time, was stated to be in production for both systems). This change added motion sensing including Tippi and the arcade's mini-games. |
| *In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the trophy for Paper Bowser states that in ''Super Paper Mario'' Bowser's attacks do nearly twice as much as Mario's and Peach's attacks, when in actuality they do exactly twice as much. | | *In Chapter 3, there is an area that is a recreation of ''Super Mario Bros.''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[World 1 (SMB)|1-2]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89-UzQbnN_E] Parts of Chapter 1-1 also resemble World 1-1 of ''Super Mario Bros.'', including the famous six blocks and first Goomba setup World 1-1 had. |
| | *In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', a certain videogame-obsessed [[Toad (species)|Toad]] found in [[Petalburg]] mentions constantly playing "the new Paper Mario game," apparently ''Super Paper Mario'', if talked to after the game is beaten. Notably, he mentions that this new ''Paper Mario'' game will be pleasing to fans of Luigi, indicating that Luigi's playability or the inclusion of Mr. L in ''Super Paper Mario'' may have been in planning stages even during the development of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. |
| | **Luigi also may have been a late addition to the game. Though playable, the game manual doesn't mention him. Luigi is nowhere to be found in the character pages, and the boxart give him small, discreet appearances, especially in comparison to those of the other playable characters. Luigi was also not present in any of ''Super Paper Mario''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s early forms of promotional material. However, Nintendo may have wanted to keep Luigi's playability secretive, given that he becomes playable long after the other three characters in the game. |
| | *Before fighting Fracktail, when he checks his database for Mario, the Wii Shop Channel loading logo is displayed in his eyes, complete with chimes. |
| | *The game has a noticeably darker theme to it than most previous ''Mario'' games, with scenes like Mimi cracking her neck and transforming, [[King Sammer]]'s Kingdom being obliterated into a white void, Bowser seemingly dying, and quite a few others. The very plot is much more darker, revolving around the impending destruction of all worlds, dimensions, and living things. |
| | *This is the first game in the ''Paper Mario'' series not to feature Toads in the playable areas. (It does, however, feature them in the playable mini-game [[Mansion Patrol]].) |
| | *This is the first ''Paper Mario'' game that [[Kammy Koopa]] does not appear in. |
| | *Super Paper Mario has the most partners than any of the others in the Paper Mario series. |
| | *[[Bowser]] hits on [[Peach]] a lot more than the other Paper Mario games since he thinks they're married. |
| | *The beta version of the game shows an odd ladder pixl. |
| | *Many puzzles in Super Paper Mario are carry-ons from earlier games in the Paper Mario series, notably the torch-secret-sequence puzzles that is found in the original Paper Mario |
