Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is an upcoming Nintendo Switch remake of the 2004 Nintendo GameCube game of the same name, and the first remake in the Paper Mario series. It was first announced during the September 2023 Nintendo Direct,[2] and it is set to be released worldwide on May 23, 2024.
The title will feature visually enhanced and updated graphics along with new gameplay features.[3] However, it remains faithful to the style of the original game: the characters still use their designs from the original release (notably, Princess Peach keeps her pre-Mario Party 4 dress design), rather than the updated designs used in the following Paper Mario games. Voice clips from the original game are also reused, in spite of voice actor changes since the original game's release, including Mario's voice actor Charles Martinet, who retired from voicing characters in the franchise in August 2023.
Differences
Gameplay changes
- During battles, there is an option on the bottom right corner of the screen known as "Tattle Check".[2]
- On the field, and have two new functions. In the original, was only used to navigate menus.[4]
Text changes and localization
- The game has now been translated to Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, and Korean. The original was not available in these three languages since, at the time, Nintendo of Europe did not do Dutch localizations, and Nintendo of Hong Kong and Nintendo of Korea did not yet exist.
- TEC-XX now has a red eye in all regions rather than only in Japan.[2]
- The game's logo in international regions has been redesigned to resemble the Japanese logo of the original game more. Conversely, the Japanese logo is now primarily written in English, matching the design conventions of the series's Japanese logos from Super Paper Mario onward.
- By extension, the box art in international regions is now based on the Japanese box art of the original game.
- There is a "Superguard" text pop-up that appears when the player successfully performs a Superguard. The original game displayed the standard "Great" text instead.
- During the Bowser intermission levels, a list of controls for Bowser is now displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen.[2]
- Text is now vertically centered within text boxes; in the original game, text was aligned to the top of the box. Also, some text has been reformatted due to the higher screen resolution allowing for more text per line.[2]
- Some English character dialogue has been altered slightly from the original game. For example, in the original, when Mario enters the town square of Rogueport for the first time, Goombella states that she is merely a "Student at the University of Goom", while in the remake, she specifically states that she is a junior at the school. In another example, the insult Bowser uses to address Kammy Koopa is changed from "Airhead" to "Lunkhead" during his interlude after completing Chapter 1.[2]
- Some other dialogue in the script also seems to have been altered. For example, the line "To find the treasure of yore, take the seven Crystal Stars to the Thousand-Year Door" was said by Goombella in the original game, but in the remake, it is said by Professor Frankly instead.
- In the Italian version, the name of the University of Goom is changed to accommodate its rename in Paper Mario: Sticker Star.[5]
Graphical changes
- The entire game has a higher-resolution, more crafted appearance similar to recent entries starting from Paper Mario: Color Splash onward, though it keeps the original game's smoother animations, rather than the choppier animations seen in those entries. For example, the characters now have a slightly thicker paper texture similar to cardstock, while the pigs have visible seams on them, and coins are fully modeled rather than sprites.[2] To go alongside these changes, dynamic lighting is now present extensively in many areas.
- Mario's front-facing head now uses its appearance from Paper Mario: The Origami King, rather than its appearance from the original game and all subsequent entries up to Color Splash.[6]
- Characters are generally more expressive, such as during the kitchen mystery on the Excess Express.[2]
- The Mario Bros.' House has a group picture of Mario's partners from the first Paper Mario, as a call-forward to Super Paper Mario featuring said picture along with one for the partners from The Thousand-Year Door. The map inside the house has also been changed to the world map from Paper Mario, and the exterior of the bedroom was sectioned to match its design from that game.[2]
- When Rogueport appears for the first time when Peach's letter is being read in the opening cutscene, the letter itself is no longer visible below.
- A few new character designs have been added, such as a purple Toad in Glitzville dressed in a tangzhuang coat and a guapi mao cap.[2]
- The vine patterns on the ground in Boggly Woods now have an iridescent sheen than the gradient of colors used in the original game.
- The whole party is visible while riding the Cheep Blimp.[2]
- More characters can be seen from behind, such as Mario's partners, unlike in the original, where they are shown in a frontal profile regardless of the camera angle.[2]
- Due to the widescreen resolution, the HUD elements, transitions, and some interiors have been redesigned to accommodate the extra horizontal space. Framing in several cutscenes and some background scenery has also been readjusted to go alongside these changes.
- The character artwork in transitions is now shaded. The transitions themselves also go by much faster compared to the original game.
- More visual aids for points of interest have been implemented, such as a sign that displays an icon with tacked papers above the door to the Trouble Center building, and the pipe leading to Petal Meadows now resting on a grassy platform.[2]
- The area the black chest face resides is now a fully 3D environment, rather than being a static background. When a black chest face curses Mario, he gets struck by lightning, while in the original, the screen flashes white while Mario is cursed.[2]
- Pa-Patch's eyepatch now always appears over his left eye, while in the original, it would appear on the right eye if he was facing right.[2]
- Bowser now has a rainbow effect instead of flashing yellow when becoming gigantic in his levels.[2]
- The storybook intro sequence is now animated.[7]
Audio changes
- The game's music has been rearranged with new instrumentation, and now sounds similar to later entries in the Paper Mario series.[2]
- Characters are given unique talking sounds during dialogue, similar to the Mario & Luigi series and the Paper Mario series from Sticker Star onward. Luigi and Princess Peach, for example, have talking sounds similar to their voices, while Koops has talking sound identical to modern Koopa Troopa vocal effects.[2]
- When Mario stands on top of the plane panel, a sound effect reminiscent of Magic Circles from Paper Mario: The Origami King can be heard.[8]
- There is a sound effect when Mario uses Paper Mode between two walls.[8]
- The sound effect when an enemy is defeated is reminiscent of the sound from Paper Mario: Sticker Star.[9]
Miscellaneous
- The game's European and Japanese age ratings have been raised to PEGI 7 and CERO B, up from PEGI 3 and CERO A of the original game, respectively.
Promotion
- By pre-ordering the game through the My Nintendo Store in Europe, customers would receive Mario, Goombella, and Mini-Yoshi keychains.[10] A bundle containing the game and a buildable diorama of the battle stage including several enemies and characters from the game was also made available on the store.[11]
- In Australia, an A5 magnet sheet and a set of foldable Mario paper planes were included as pre-order bonuses for the game from EB Games and JB Hi-Fi, respectively.[12]
- Prior to the game's release, Nintendo of Europe e-mailed a survey about the role-playing games of the Super Mario franchise to a select number of newsletter subscribers. The survey asks participants to state their opinions on topics such as the gameplay and characters of the Paper Mario series, Mario & Luigi series, and Super Mario RPG.[13] A different survey was temporarily released by Nintendo of America via the Qualtrics website,[14] which featured questions about role-playing games in general as well as questions specifically on the subject of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Nintendo Switch.[15]
Descriptions
- North American Nintendo eShop
Join Mario on an epic paper-adventure to collect the Crystal Stars before the X-Nauts do!
The nefarious X-Nauts are after the treasure behind the Thousand-Year Door! With a map from Princess Peach, and the help of a few locals, Mario journeys through a colorful world made of paper to find them first. To prevail in this quest, you’ll have to level up Mario and his friends, master timing-based attacks and badges to impress the audience on the stage of combat, and make use of all the abilities that come with being cursed—er, conveniently made of paper—like folding into a plane to cross big gaps or turning sideways to slip through narrow openings.
Leaf through a storybook world with charming characters in every fold
Surprises abound in this deep and engaging tale, where everyone’s got something to say and it’s often not what you’d expect. Mario will meet all kinds of interesting folks on his journey, like the upbeat and studious Goombella and the shy but determined Koops. Some of these characters will need your help with their own quests, or even join your party. Others, like Peach and Bowser, have stories of their own that you’ll play between Mario’s chapters!
A classic turns the page, bringing fresh visuals and updated features
Twenty years after the original game on the Nintendo GameCube™ system, this version for the Nintendo Switch™ system has revamped graphics, and a suite of additional changes that make the game easier than ever to enjoy.
