| '''''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''''' is a [[Genre#role-playing|role-playing]] game and the second installment in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. It was developed by [[Intelligent Systems]] for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] in [[List of games by date#2004|2004]].
| |
|
| |
|
| The game's plot revolves around [[Mario]], who embarks on a mission to rescue [[Princess Peach]], who was kidnapped by the organization named [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] by stopping them and particularly their leader, [[Sir Grodus]]. In order to do this, Mario and his [[party member|partners]] should collect the seven magical artifacts known as the [[Crystal Stars]] in order to open [[the Thousand-Year Door]], an enormous door which holds a [[Shadow Queen|legendary treasure]] that has a lot of rumors and legends spread about. While being kidnapped, Peach sends Mario various information about the X-Nauts' intentions for the world conquest and [[Bowser]] also tries to collect the Crystal Stars along the way.
| |
|
| |
| Being a follow-up to ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the game borrows the similar art style and key gameplay elements as obtaining the [[party member]]s to solve puzzles or getting the [[Star Point]]s after winning a battle. However, ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year-Door'' improves these elements further such as partners having their own health, or obtaining the [[Star Power]] during battle by interacting with the [[Audience]] rather than refilling it automatically. Additionally, the game improves the "paper" aesthetics as well by adding certain elements both in gameplay (such as [[Black Chest Demon#Paper abilities|paper abilities]]) and the game's design in general.

| [[File:PMTTYD Peach and the Glowing Box.png|thumb|left|Peach receiving the box.]]
| |
| The adventure begins when [[Princess Peach]] goes on a cruise to [[Rogueport]] where she meets a [[Beldam|hooded woman]], and buys a box which contains a [[Magical Map|map]]. She sends this to [[Mario]], along with a letter asking him to help her search for the map's treasure. Soon after that, she is kidnapped by [[Sir Grodus]]. Mario receives the letter with the map and decides to help her, and thus boards a ship to Rogueport.

| |
| Shortly after Mario reaches Rogueport, he finds [[Lord Crump]] attempting to interrogate [[Goombella]] about the [[Crystal Stars]]. Mario intervenes and Lord Crump tries to defeat him. After defeating the X-Naut general and escaping from the X-Nauts, Goombella introduces herself, and Mario explains his quest to her. As Goombella is also searching for the map's treasure, she decides to join Mario. Then, Goombella suggests to go to [[Professor Frankly]]'s house, to consult him and show him the map. At the professor's house, Frankly explains that the map is related to the legend of the treasure of [[the Thousand-Year Door]], and that, to obtain the treasure, one must first open the door with the seven [[Crystal Stars]]. Said objects can be found by holding the Magical Map before the Thousand-Year Door, which is located in the [[Rogueport Sewers|town's sewers]]. So, Mario holds the map before the Thousand-Year Door, revealing the [[Hooktail Castle|location]] of the [[Diamond Star|first Crystal Star]].

| |
| [[File:Hooktail PMTTYD encounter.png|thumb|left|Mario and his partner encountering Hooktail.]] [[File:PMTTYD Petalburg screenshot.png|thumb|Petalburg.]]
| |
| Mario and Goombella show the updated map to Professor Frankly, who reveals that the first Crystal Star is in [[Petal Meadows]]. To reach this place, they must find a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] in Rogueport Sewers. After finding it, Mario and Goombella arrive in Petal Meadows, where they see [[Hooktail]] and [[Hooktail Castle|her castle]]. The duo stops at a nearby village called [[Petalburg]] and discover from the [[Kroop|mayor]] that the dragon Hooktail has been terrorizing the village. The mayor tells them that Hooktail guards the Crystal Star in her castle, and that to access it, they must find the [[Sun Stone|two]] [[Moon Stone|stone]] keys in [[Shhwonk Fortress]]. After finding them, Mario and Goombella march to Hooktail's castle, with [[Koops]] in tow (who wants to defeat Hooktail to avenge his dead father and become stronger). After navigating through the castle's traps with the help of Koops, they encounter the dragon and defeat her, allowing [[Koopley|Koops's father]] to get out of the dragon's gut and present Mario with the [[Diamond Star]].
| |
|
| |
| Somewhere else, it is revealed that [[Princess Peach]] was abducted by the X-Nauts. When a X-Naut tells [[Sir Grodus]] someone got the first Crystal Star, Peach accidentally blurts out Mario's name. Grodus hears this and orders the [[Shadow Sirens]] to steal the map in Mario's possession. Peach then meets [[TEC-XX]], who develops an interest in Peach's concept of love, and asks for her help to understand it. Peach agrees; in exchange, TEC lets her send [[Mailbox SP|e-mails]] to Mario. During another scene transition, at [[Bowser's Castle]], [[Kammy Koopa]] tells [[Bowser]] about Mario's quest to find the Crystal Stars and Peach's abduction, things that motivate Bowser to hunt for the Crystal Stars and kidnap Peach back. Bowser and Kammy then head for Rogueport.
| |
|
| |
| Back in Petalburg, the group receives an e-mail from Peach, who tells them she has been kidnapped. Mario and co. head back to the Thousand-Year Door to reveal the location of the next star.

| ===Chapter 2: The Great Boggly Tree===
| |
| [[File:BogglyWoods.png|thumb|left|Boggly Woods]][[File:The Great Tree Entrance.png|thumb|The Great Boggly Tree.]]
| |
| The [[Emerald Star|second Crystal Star]] is revealed to be in [[the Great Tree]], home of small creatures known as [[Puni|Punies]], deep inside [[Boggly Woods]]. When searching for the pipe leading to Boggly Woods in [[Rogueport Sewers]], Mario and his partners encounter [[Punio]], who tells them that the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] have invaded the Great Tree, capturing most of the Punies and that the [[Jabbies]], the Punies' enemies, have allied with the X-Nauts and are trying to expulse the Punies from the Great Tree. Mario and co. decide to help out the Punies, and therefore Punio leads the group to the Boggly Woods. After getting there, Mario and co. encounter the [[Shadow Sirens]] with a [[Necklace (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|necklace]], who do not recognize him due to having lost a sketch of him. The group continues and arrives at the Great Tree. However, they realize that the tree is locked. Punio suggests they find [[Flurrie|Madame Flurrie]]; to find the secret entrance. However, upon reaching her home, Flurrie reveals she has lost her necklace and does not want anyone to see her without it. After defeating the Sirens and returning the necklace to Flurrie, she joins them in their quest. The group finds the secret entrance and enters the tree; after freeing the locked Punies with the aid of a [[Puni Orb|special orb]] and after solving the Great Tree's puzzles and defeating the [[Jabbies]], they reveal the second Crystal Star at the bottom of the tree. There, Lord Crump snatches it, and activates a time bomb to blow up the tree. After chasing him to the entrance, he stops the bomb and uses [[Magnus von Grapple]] to fight the heroes, but he is defeated by the group. Afterwards, the X-Nauts evacuate the tree and Mario and co. obtain the [[Emerald Star]].
| |
|
| |
| At the X-Naut headquarters, the X-Nauts inform Sir Grodus that Mario has taken the Emerald Star. Meanwhile, TEC-XX calls for the Princess, and asks her to dance with him. TEC then lets Peach e-mail Mario.
| |
|
| |
| Bowser can be seen arriving in Petalburg, and then talking to what he thinks is Peach, but is revealed to be a poster by a nearby Koopa.
| |
|
| |
| As Mario and his team move on, they receive another e-mail from Peach, who tells them that the X-Nauts are searching for the [[Crystal Stars]]. Mario and his team reveal the location of the next Crystal Star, and they visit Professor Frankly for details.
| |

| <blockquote>
| |
| ''And so, after pummeling [[Lord Crump]], [[Mario]] obtained [[Emerald Star|the second Crystal Star]]... With the [[X-Naut]]s gone, peace once again prevailed throughout [[the Great Tree]]. The [[Boggly Woods]] echoed with the [[Puni]] songs of joy. But... this may not be the last our hero hears from the vile X-Nauts. They will surely continue to stand in Mario's way and try to put a stop to his efforts...''

| [[File:Glitz Pit.png|thumb|left|Glitz Pit.]][[File:Rawk Hawk TTYD artwork.jpg|200px|thumb|Rawk Hawk.]]
| |
| The [[Gold Star|third Crystal Star]] appears in a [[Glitz Pit|large arena]] on a [[Glitzville|floating town]]. To reach Glitzville, Mario and the gang must visit [[Don Pianta]]. He offers them the ticket they need after doing him a favor. Once Mario and his team arrive in Glitzville, they enter the Glitz Pit, a popular place in which fighters brawl, and spot the Crystal Star on the [[Champ's Belt]], held by [[Rawk Hawk]], the current champion. They sign up in the Pit, battle through the ranks, and eventually gain a [[Mini-Yoshi|newborn Yoshi]] as a partner. Soon, a mysterious figure known only as "X" starts sending cryptic e-mails to Mario. The e-mails lead Mario and his partners to discover that the Star on the belt is a fake, and that the real Crystal Star is being used by [[Grubba]], the promoter of the Glitz Pit. Mario & co. expose his wrongdoings and chase him into the arena, where he transforms into [[Macho Grubba]] in order to eliminate Mario and his friends. However, the group manages to defeat him. After the battle, [[Jolene]], Grubba's assistant, appears and reveals herself as the mysterious X, explains her story, and gives Mario the [[Gold Star]].
| |
|
| |
| At the X-Naut base, TEC-XX asks Peach to go ask Grodus a question relating to his plans. The Princess goes undercover in an X-Naut disguise and learns that Grodus is plotting to use the Crystal Stars to take over the world. TEC allows her to send this message to Mario. Meanwhile, Bowser and Kammy are searching for one of the Crystal Stars in the Great Tree, where they discover that Mario already obtained it.
| |
|
| |
| Mario & co. receive another message from Peach; they promptly reveal the [[Ruby Star|fourth crystal star's]] [[Creepy Steeple|location]].
| |
|
| |
| '''Storyline text'''
| |
| <blockquote>
| |
| ''[[Glitzville]]'s seamy underside was a dark, dangerous place seething with conspiracy... With the help of the lovely [[Ms. Jolene]], [[Mario]] revealed [[Grubba]]'s true identity... And acquired [[Gold Star|the third Crystal Star]] by defeating the monstrous [[Macho Grubba]]. Grubba had used the power of the [[Crystal Star]] to run his power-draining machine... What other hidden powers might these strange and mystical items possess?''

| [[File:PMTTYD Doopliss Artwork.png|thumb|[[Doopliss]]]]
| |
| Professor Frankly tells the group that the [[Ruby Star|Crystal Star]] is located in [[Creepy Steeple]], near [[Twilight Town]]. When Mario & co. get to Twilight Town, they discover that the village is under a curse cast by a [[Doopliss|monster]] who lives in the steeple. Using a new Black Chest Demon [[Black Chest Demon#Tube Mode|power]], the group reaches the steeple, and battles the monster. During the battle, the monster uses an ability to steal Mario's name and body, transforming Mario into a shadowy version of himself. Mario's partners claim the Crystal Star and leave with [[Doopliss|whom they think is Mario]]. Meanwhile, the [[Shadow Sirens]] are in Twilight Town, planning on defeating Mario and his partners with their new weapon: the [[Superbombomb]]. However, [[Beldam]] seems to have lost it, prompting her to blame [[Vivian]] and to force her to search for it. The real Mario returns to Twilight Town, and helps [[Vivian]] with her problem. Out of gratitude, she joins Mario's party. They eventually discover from the monster's [[Parrot (character)|parrot]] that the monster's name is [[Doopliss]]. After telling Doopliss his name, he is weakened and flees to Creepy Steeple. Mario and Vivian chase him there and they fight once more. Mario and his new partner defeat Doopliss, allowing Mario to regain his name and body and obtain the [[Ruby Star]].
| |
|
| |
| At the [[X-Naut]] base, TEC-XX asks the Princess to participate in a sort of "quiz show" with him. By doing this, she discovers what the "treasure" of [[the Thousand-Year Door]] really is: the soul of an [[Shadow Queen|ancient demon]]. The Princess then relays this information to Mario. Meanwhile, [[Bowser]] continues his quest for the Crystal Stars by flying to [[Glitzville]] in his [[Koopa Clown Car]]. However, it malfunctions halfway there, and he travels underwater to return to Rogueport. After he and Kammy return, he orders Kammy to continue her research on the Crystal Stars.
| |
|
| |
| Back in Twilight Town, Mario and his friends receive the message from Peach. They reveal the next Crystal Star and visit Professor Frankly for details.
| |
|
| |
| The English name for the chapter, as well as its Japanese, Spanish, Italian, and French translations, are referencing the Ernest Hemingway novel, ''{{wp|For Whom the Bell Tolls}}''. The Japanese name is also potentially a reference to the Japan exclusive ''{{wp|Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru}}'' co-developed by [[Intelligent Systems]] which involves a bell capable of transforming frogs into people.

To reach the island, Mario enlists the help of [[Flavio]] and [[Admiral Bobbery]]. They sail to the island with some Toads, [[Pa-Patch]], and [[Lord Crump]] in disguise (known as "Four-Eyes"). On their way to the island, Mario and co. are attacked by Cortez's [[Ember]]s, which shipwreck them on Keelhaul Key. Later on, some of the crew members are attacked by more Embers, and Bobbery sacrifices himself to save them. Bobbery says he is close to death, and after giving him [[Chuckola Cola (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|his last request]], they find out that he just fell asleep. After Mario wakes him, he joins Mario's party. With the aid of Bobbery and Flavio's [[Skull Gem]], Mario and co. enter Pirate's Grotto. After solving some puzzles, and after gaining another [[Boat Mode|ability]] from a [[Black Chest Demon]], they finally reach the lair of [[Cortez]]. After they battle, Cortez gives Mario his [[Sapphire Star]]. Afterwards, Lord Crump abandons his disguise and tells Mario that he will continue attacking him with his ship's cannons until he hands over the Crystal Star. With the help of Cortez's ship and Flavio's Skull Gem, they defeat the invading X-Nauts, along with their leader.

| In the X-Naut base, TEC-XX wishes to gain access to a disk in [[Grodus]]'s room, and asks Peach to help him. After making an invisibility potion, she helps him and he promises to analyze the data. Peach then sends another e-mail to Mario, informing him of this. Meanwhile, in Twilight Town, [[Bowser]] and [[Kammy Koopa]] run into Lord Crump. The three get into an argument, which escalates to an armed confrontation between the [[Koopa Troop]] and the X-Nauts. However, Bowser inadvertently ignites the [[Superbombomb]], knocking out both armies.
| |
|
| |
| Back at Keelhaul Key, Cortez ferries Mario and his teammates to Rogueport. Mario gets the e-mail from Peach, telling them about what TEC is analyzing. Mario and his team then reveal the next Crystal Star's location, and visit Professor Frankly for information.

| |
| [[File:PMTTYD Smorg screenshot.png|thumb|upright=1.1|right|Mario meets the Smorgs.]]
| |
| The [[Garnet Star|sixth Crystal Star]] is in [[Poshley Sanctum]] in the town [[Poshley Heights]]. The only way to reach the town is on the famous [[Excess Express]]. After doing [[Don Pianta]] another favor, he gives Mario a train ticket.
| |
| During the first day on the Excess Express, Mario and his team found many mysterious happenings, including thefts of items and messages threatening to blow up the train. On their second day of travel, [[Pennington]], a [[Bumpty]] detective, helps Mario and his friends solve the crimes and they manage to capture a fake [[Zip Toad]] who was really Doopliss in disguise, and was the one who attempted to halt the train by causing an explosion with some stolen items. At sundown, when the train stops at [[Riverside Station]] for refuel, Doopliss escapes capture. Mario and company find that the drawbridge has been lifted, preventing the Excess Express from continuing its route. The gang enters Riverside Station and flips the switch to bring the drawbridge back down. They discover that a group of [[Smorg]]s are behind it. On the third and final day of the journey, a stowaway [[Smorg|Smorg monster]] attacks the train, kidnapping all of its passengers. Mario and his friends defeat the creature, rescuing the passengers in the process, and finally reach Poshley Heights. They venture into Poshley Sanctum, a museum that happens to belong to Pennington. The [[Shadow Sirens]], who happen to be already inside, snatch what appears to be the [[Garnet Star]] and flee. However, Pennington reveals that what they stole was a fake, and lets Mario find where the real Crystal Star is. After some exploring, Mario and company manage to find the real Garnet Star.
| |
| [[File:Pennington.png|thumb|Pennington, the Penguin with the Improbably Large Brain.]]
| |
| Back at the [[X-Naut]] base, the X-Nauts tell [[Grodus]] that Mario has six of the seven [[Crystal Stars]]. They also tell him of TEC's betrayal. Meanwhile, TEC tells the Princess the data he gained from Grodus's data disk, and prepares to help Peach escape. Before he is able to, Grodus enters with two X-Nauts and orders them to initiate a data-wipe procedure of TEC's memory. TEC tells Peach "I love you" just before he is shut down.
| |
|
| |
| Meanwhile, Bowser is searching for another Crystal Star in Rawk Hawk's workout room, which he has found in the form of the [[Champ's Belt]]. However, he quickly learns that it is not a real Crystal Star, just a glass fake.
| |
|
| |
| Mario and his team return to [[Rogueport]] and receive an e-mail from Peach, telling them about what the X-Nauts plan to do with her, but an important part of it is cut off due to TEC being shut down. Back in Rogueport, Mario and co. reveal the next Crystal Star's location and visit Professor Frankly for details.
| |
|
| |
| Chapter 6 appears to allude to ''{{wp|Murder on the Orient Express}}'', which also involves several peculiar passengers on a train where a crime takes place.

Hoping this Crystal Star might yield answers, Mario and friends return to [[Pennington]].''

| |
| [[File:General White.png|thumb|General White.]][[File:PMTTYD X-Naut Fortress screenshot.png|thumb|left|Mario in the X-Naut Fortress.]]The last Crystal Star appears to be on the [[moon]]. To reach the moon, Mario and his companions travel to [[Fahr Outpost]] to find a [[big bomb cannon|cannon]] to shoot them to the moon. After searching for [[Goldbob]] and [[General White]], whose blessings are needed to operate the cannon, Mario & co. enter the cannon and are shot to the moon.
| |
| On the moon, the group discovers the [[X-Naut Fortress]]. Once they arrive at the end of it, Lord Crump appears, bragging about his latest creation — [[Magnus von Grapple 2.0]], and tries once more to defeat Mario and company. After Lord Crump is defeated, the [[Crystal Star]] is released.
| |
|
| |
| Meanwhile, Bowser is searching for another Crystal Star in the Poshley Sanctum. A [[Paragoomba]] flies in and tells Bowser that Mario has collected every Crystal Star and is heading for the Thousand-Year Door, which contains a great treasure. Bowser announces that he will steal this treasure and defeat Mario.
| |
|
| |
| As Mario and his allies prepare to leave the fortress, they discover that all of the doors have been locked, except for one. In this room, the heroes find TEC, who is running on backup power. He recognizes Mario and tells him to rescue the Princess, who has been taken to the [[Palace of Shadow]], a place that lies beyond the Thousand-Year Door. He then activates an emergency transporter. The group is transported to a room in [[Rogueport Sewers]]. After exiting the room, Professor Frankly meets them at the entrance and urges them to open the Thousand-Year Door.

| ===Chapter 8: The Thousand-Year Door===
| |
| [[File:PMTTYD Shadow Queen closeup.png|thumb|upright=1.4|The queen is unleashed.]]After Mario has received all seven [[Crystal Stars]], the time has come to open [[the Thousand-Year Door]] and enter the [[Palace of Shadow]] to rescue [[Princess Peach]] from [[Grodus]].
| |
|
| |
| Mario and his friends open the Thousand-Year Door with the seven Crystal Stars, allowing them to enter the [[Palace of Shadow]]. The palace itself is full of enemies, puzzles, and traps. Eventually, Mario and co. battle and trounce a dragon named [[Gloomtail]], older brother of Hooktail. After the dragon's defeat, he relinquishes the key to access the [[Riddle Tower]]. After solving the puzzles of the tower, a secret passage which leads deeper into the palace is revealed. Mario and his party continue down that path, but not before defeating the [[Shadow Sirens]], who try to get rid of them. Finally, Mario and company reach the throne room of the palace, where they find and defeat [[Sir Grodus]]. [[Bowser]] and [[Kammy]], who drop in unexpectedly, also battle Mario, but are thwarted in the end. Grodus uses the distraction of the battle to bring Princess Peach into the deepest part of the palace. There, he opens a sealed coffin and frees the [[Shadow Queen]], the ancient demon of legend. [[Beldam]] suddenly appears and announces that she was the one who orchestrated the plot to free her mistress. The Shadow Queen refuses to be controlled by Grodus, and fries him with a lightning bolt, apparently killing him. The Queen then possesses Princess Peach, using her as a vessel to sustain her life. The world is then covered in darkness. Mario and his allies fight the Queen, but she eventually decides to fight in her real form, in which she is invincible. She proves too much for the group to handle, however, the Crystal Stars suddenly react to the evil of the Queen and fly throughout the world, each returning to where they were found, allowing the people of the world to cheer on Mario and his party. The hope of the people of the world break through the Queen's invulnerability, and this also allows Peach to give the heroes the last of her power. Strengthened, the heroes seal the Shadow Queen forever, saving the world.
| |
|
| |
| [[File:PMTTYD Farewell to friends.png|thumb|right|250px|Princess Peach bids farewell to others.]][[Goombella]] later sends Mario a message, explaining what everyone has done: she works with Professor Frankly, while [[Koops]] plans on becoming the Mayor of Petalburg. [[Flurrie]] has returned to the stage and enacts "Paper Mario" as her comeback smash while Doopliss plays the role of Mario. The [[Mini-Yoshi|Yoshi]] fights in the Glitz Pit as the "Great Gonzales Jr.", while [[Vivian]] has forgiven her sisters and lives in Twilight Town. [[Admiral Bobbery]] sails the seas with Cortez, and [[Ms. Mowz]] runs her Lovely Howz of Badges. [[Lord Crump]], [[Grodus]] and the [[X-Naut]]s survived and are spending their time in [[Poshley Heights]]. TEC survived as well, and hopes to see the Princess again one day. The game ends when the Princess visits the Mario Bros. with another treasure map.

| ==Gameplay==
| |
| [[File:The Koopa fan of Peach in Petalburg PMTTYD.png|thumb|right|Mario, his party member [[Goombella]] and a [[Koopa Troopa]] NPC.]]
| |
| In terms of gameplay, ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' brings over the core mechanics of the game's [[Paper Mario|prequel]] and enhances them further. [[Mario]] now can speak when performing moves as [[jump]]ing or collecting different items, and starts his adventure with a [[Hammer]]. [[Action Command]]s can also be performed initially, while in ''Paper Mario'' a [[Lucky Star]] must be collected, however, Mario has lost the ability to [[Spin Dash]] from the original game.
| |
|
| |
| For the most part of the game, the player takes control of Mario, who goes to various locations from the [[Rogueport]], which replaces [[Toad Town]]'s role as a hub from the prequel. The game is divided into chapters with an each one being set in an unique area, many of which contain NPCs (non-playable characters who can be interracted with) or/and enemies, some of the former can provide Mario and his partners with certain services, such as [[Merlon]].
| |
|
| |
| On Mario's way, he and his partners use various techniques that help them progress in adventure: Mario can reach blocks above his head, come across the gaps and getting himself to the higher areas by using the Jump move, while the Hammer is used for destroying various obstacles as [[Yellow Block]]s. Progressively, player expands the Boots and the Hammer by getting upgrades that allow the player to perform new abilities, as [[Super Boots|breaking the panels that are below Mario]] or [[Super Hammer|destroying the gigantic Yellow Blocks]].
| |
| <!--
| |
| The partner system is also enhanced. Unlike the original, where partners had a simple fine/injured status system, this game gives partners their own Heart Points. As such, partners can fall in battle, and items such as the Mushroom can be used on them as well. Several partners are similar to ones seen in ''Paper Mario'', like [[Koops]] being the counterpart of [[Kooper]], but generally have more abilities available. Timed moves are more abundant in this game. In addition, battles are set up on a stage, like a play; this greatly affects battles, and characters can interact with the audience and stage.-->
| |
|
| |
| ===Background===
| |
| [[File:PMTTYD Background.png|thumb|left|Mario wandering around in the background scenery.]]
| |
| Another element introduced in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' is the background scenery, which is actually accessible for Mario through certain pipes. Several places which only appear in the background can be visited this way, some of which are larger areas when interacted with. This feature was carried over to the next game in the series, ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Certain abilities are disabled here, however: Mario's partners cannot be used in the background, Mario cannot move to a different screen/area, and he also cannot walk past any houses or locations.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| ===Intermissions===
| |
| [[File:PMTTYD Bowser intermission.png|thumb|right|Bowser in a platformer level.]]
| |
| After each chapter, there is an intermission where the player is able to control [[Princess Peach]], who is held captive in the [[X-Naut Fortress]] until the chapter 7. The Peach intermission is followed by a [[Bowser]] intermission, a new addition in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. Bowser usually visits the places Mario has been to one chapter before, and several missions include a side-scrolling platformer level in the style of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' after completing the second, fourth and the sixth chapters. In these levels, Bowser has the ability to [[Fire Breath|breathe fire]], and by using the only available item, [[Meat]], is able to radically increase his size, allowing him to crush everything in his way if collecting enough of it. While enemies like the [[X-Naut]]s charge at Bowser, others like [[Goomba]]s turn away when he approaches them. The levels are called 1-X, 2-X and 3-X in reference to the world numbering of ''Super Mario Bros.'', while X stands for the number of tries Bowser has used for the level. He has endless lives for the levels. They are set in the three basic terrains of ''Super Mario Bros.'': Overworld, Underwater and Underground/Castle.

| |
| A table of various objects that can be encountered by Mario: some of these items are helpful to the player by providing Mario and the partners various items, abilities or make the obstacles easier to evercome, the others, on the other hard, serve as obstacles and require special abilities, partners or items to be traversed through.

Throughout the game, [[Mario]] encounters various characters who join him on the journey. Every partner has an unique ability in the overworld that can be activated by pressing {{button|gcn|X}} and serves to be helpful to traverse the area in a different way. While the partners have the equivalents from the original ''Paper Mario'' in terms of abilities (such as [[Admiral Bobbery]] being inspired by [[Bombette]]), their overworld abilities are expanded in unique ways such as [[Koops]] being able to hold his shell in place, and previously mentioned Admiral Bobbery can be hold and thrown from above.

| === Upgrading party members ===
| |
| {{main|List of Shine Sprites in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}
| |
| [[File:Shine Sprite TTYD.png|frame|right|Shine Sprite]]
| |
| Every party member joins Mario at the basic rank, being able to do only two moves in battle. However, if the player finds three [[Shine Sprite]]s and goes to [[Merlon]], the latter may upgrade the partner, which can increase the damage output, the maximum [[Heart Point]] amount and teaches the party member a new move.
| |
|
| |
| First time the party member is upgraded, they reach the Super Rank; if the player needs to upgrade a partner further, they will need to obtain the [[Up Arrow]] item and bring it to Merlon, thus Merlon can upgrade a partner to the Ultra Rank, which serves as the last level on which the partner can perform four moves. There are 42 Shine Sprites in total, enough to upgrade every partner fully.

| ==Battle system features==
| |
| [[File:PMTTYD Battle.png|thumb|left|200px|File:PMTTYD Battle.png|A battle interface with [[Gus]] as an enemy.]]
| |
| Battles in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' take place on a stage and use the side-view system. Much like in the predecessor, [[Mario]] can interact with enemies on the overworld by performing moves called '''first strikes''': if the enemy was hit first, then the player can perform an [[Action Command]] in the battle (it is worth mentioning that unlike ''Paper Mario'', the player has a chance to deal more damage whereas in the former the same cannot be done), however, if Mario got a hit by an enemy on the map, then the same character will get a free turn.
| |
|
| |
| To win a battle, Mario should defeat all of the enemies on the other side by dropping their health to zero, whereas if Mario's HP amount is dropped to 0 and the player doesn't have a [[Life Shroom]], then the battle is lost and the player receives a [[Game Over]] screen, exiting to the main menu afterwards. During a battle, player can restore Mario and partner's statistics, which are shown on top.
| |
|
| |
| Since the game is a turn-based [[Genre#Role-playing|RPg]], both enemies and Mario with his active party member <!--partner--> take turns during the battle. The damage done to enemy is determined by Mario and/or his ally's attack power minus the enemy's defense: for example, if Mario will attack [[Dull Bones]] by jumping on them while having the Jump attack power of 1, zero damage will be done since Dull Bones have the Defense of 1 point. Additionally, the player can change the attack order by pressing {{button|gcn|y}}, thus allowing the partner to attack the enemies earlier than Mario and vice versa; in addition, the partner can take the damage instead of Mario if done correctly.
| |
|
| |
| === Mario's action ===
| |
| Mario's battle opportunities are the same from the predecessor with several changes: firstly, if the player will choose to do noting, Mario will boost his defense by 1 point (the same works with the allies), as opposed by simply doing nothing with no effect from ''Paper Mario'', and secondly, the [[Focus]] technique was replaced with the [[Appeal]], which works in the exact way, but was revamped in order to match the [[Audience]] feature.
| |
| <!--
| |
| While Mario and his partners are battling enemies, they can attack enemies with extra power using various [[Action Command]]s. [[Stylish move]]s are extra commands to please the crowd more and gain more Star Power.
| |
|
| |
| In addition to the traditional turn-based combat, the characters on-stage interact with the scenery: sometimes the background falls, damaging all characters on stage and possibly making them [[Dizzy]], the audience helps Mario gain Star Power and also may throw items on stage or attack Mario and his partners, and lastly, some bosses even use the audience to their advantage. For example, [[Hooktail]] eats some of the audience to regain 10 HP, also causing all other audience members to flee, making it impossible to gain any Star Power. In addition, the battle shifts off-stage.
| |
| -->
| |
| === Party member's action===
| |
| Much like ''Paper Mario'', Mario's party members have less abilities: they can do an attack, change an ally or do noting in battle, thus skipping their action. Depending on the character's rank, they can use 2-4 moves, with the first (and [[Tattle|second]] for [[Goombella]] move costing zero [[Flower Point|PF]], whereas the other attacks will always cost one or more; additionally, at least one move replicates the partner's ability in the overworld, such as [[Vivian]]'s [[Veil]], or [[Koops]]' [[Shell Toss]].
| |
|
| |
| Unlike the previous game in ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series, however, the partners have their own separate health and take damage in the same way Mario does, however, if an active partner's HP drops to zero, they will pass out and remain in this state till the end of a battle unless a player has a [[Life Shroom]] in the inventory, which revives a respective character. Additionally, Mario's party members have more in common with Mario with the abilities of using items and quitting a battle.
| |
|
| |
| (screenshot with a partner being passed out: in progress)
| |
|
| |
| Both Mario and his active ally can swap the latter in battle, which will cost one turn unless the player equips the [[Quick Change]] badge.
| |
|
| |
| ===Enemy's action===
| |
| <!--{{main|List of enemy formations in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}
| |
| In [[Mario]]'s adventure in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', he encounters enemies on the field. When he engages battle with them, there are often other enemies that accompany the one that Mario encountered on the field.-->
| |
| ===Guarding===
| |
| [[File:PMTTYD Guard.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario [[guard]]s against [[Crazee Dayzee]]'s attack.]]
| |
|
| |
| While being attacked by an enemy, Mario and his partners still can cut their damage by one point by performing a [[guard]] move: the player wants to press the {{button|gcn|a}} in the same moment when an enemy attacks Mario; additionally, this Action Command can nullify any status brought by an enemy (such as [[Putrid Piranha]]'s [[Poison (status effect)|poison]]). However, the player should press the mentioned button in 8/60 per a second (8 frames), but if the action is done correctly, Mario will crouch and the word "Nice" will be shown.
| |
|
| |
| Additionally, the player can do a [[Superguard]] Action Command, which not only nullifies enemy's attack, but also deals 1 additional point of damage to the direct attacks (except for the [[Iron Cleft]]s); if the player does this move to a non-direct attack, Mario will simply take no damage and effect from enemy (except for [[Pokey]]s, whose projectiles will be launched back). While being more useful compared to the Guard move, the Superguard is harder to execute, requiring the player to react in 3/60 in a second (3 frame window) by pressing {{button|gcn|b}}; if the action is done, Mario and his active partner will spin in place and the word "Great" will be shown.
| |
|

| ===End of battle===
| |
| {{main|List of Star Point amounts in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}
| |
| [[File:Levelup PM2.png|thumb|left|200px|After obtaining 100 Star Points, Mario reaches a new level.]]
| |
| Every time [[Mario]] makes all the enemies disappear, he wins a battle and earns [[Star Point]]s. The amount he earns from each enemy depends on his current level compared to the enemies he earns them: as his level goes up, he earns less Star Points from them, and if Mario's level is one lower/the same/higher than enemy's, he will not earn any Star Points, except that Mario will still be rewarded with 1 Star Point after winning a battle. However, if Mario reaches the level 99, which serves as a maximum level, no Star Points will be given to Mario. When Mario's Star Point Level gets up to 100, the number resets, then the player can choose whether to upgrade Mario's [[Heart Point]]s, [[Flower Point]]s or [[Badge Point]]s.
| |
|
| |
| After a battle, Mario shifts back to the overworld, the enemy that has affected the battle will disappear, and leave [[coin]]s, hearts or/and flowers, that can restore Mario and his party member's HP and BP amount and items.

| The [[Audience]] determines how much [[Star Power]] Mario recovers. It consists of various enemies and allies, and sits and cheers as the group attacks. If Mario or his allies use the [[Appeal]] action or a [[Stylish move]], they recover more Star Energy. The audience is even used by various bosses. [[Hooktail]], [[Cortez]], and the [[Shadow Queen]] all use the audience to restore their HP. [[Magnus von Grapple 2.0]] can also use members of the audience to attack by launching them at Mario and his partners.
| |
|
| |
| The Audience occasionally takes active participation in the battles; some spectators throw helpful or hurtful items, while others may incapacitate other audience members, making Star Power recovery more difficult.
| |
|
| |
| ===Bingo!===
| |
| {{main|Bingo!}}
| |
| An icon appears next to Mario's Star Power Gauge whenever the player successfully uses the Action Command of an attack. If the player has two matching icons and if the player executes an additional Action Command, Mario can take the Bingo wheel for a spin.

| |
| ==Gear==
| |
| The '''Gear''' section in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year-Door'' is divided into two categories: the '''Items''' and '''Important Items'''.
| |
|
| |
| Normal items are generally helpful object that help Mario and his friends as restoring their health and FPs, giving the player a positive status, dealing damage to enemies and/or give them negative statuses. These items are mostly sold in shops, dropped from the defeated enemies, found in the [[? Block]]s or by giving [[Zess T.]] ingredient(s) and asking her to cook. Mario can hold 10 of these items and use them by accessing the menu and selecting them. If Mario picks an eleventh item, a prompt will be shown to throw away one of the other 10 before it will be added to Mario's inventory. Additionally, if the player obtains the [[Strange Sack]], the amount of items Mario can hold will increase from 10 to 20, and up to 32 items can be stored at any [[Item Shop|shop]].
| |
|
| |
| Important items, on the other hand, are elements that are forced to be obtained by the player to proceed further or complete several side-quests. Since they belong to their own category, the important items don't affect the storage capacity. If the item is required to progress and Mario has it in his storage, a prompt will be shown up and the item will be given. Most of them stay with Mario until they are needed to be used, so they can't be sold, stored or dropped.

| {{main|List of badges in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}
| |
| Badges are objects that Mario and his partners can use throughout the course of the game. They can be purchased at the Lovely Howz or by [[Charlieton]], traded for [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Pieces]] by [[Dazzle]], won at the [[Pianta Parlor]] or found in one of the places Mario and company visit. The blocks in which badges are found in the field are red in color, unlike normal item blocks which are yellow.
| |
|
| |
| When leveling up, Mario can gain Badge Points (BP) which allow him to use badges he has already found. Some of the badges add new [[Jump]] or [[Hammer]] moves to Mario's commands during battle and other new abilities.
| |
|
| |
| Badges can also affect Mario and his partners outside of battles. After the battle certain badges can increase the amount of coins, flowers, hearts, or Items enemies drop. Enemies might also carry badges in battle, which only [[Ms. Mowz]] can steal right away, and there is a likelihood that they might leave them when they are defeated.
| |
|
| |
| Two special badges, the W Emblem and the L Emblem, can change Mario's clothing. With the W Emblem, Mario gets [[Wario]]'s clothing, with the L Emblem, he gets [[Luigi]]'s clothing, and with both Emblems combined, he gets [[Waluigi]]'s clothing.
| |
|
| |
| If multiple copies of the same jump or hammer badge are worn at once, the FP requirements increases exponentially, whereas the attack power increases linearly.

| In [[Rogueport]], there is a Trouble Center which offers the citizens' troubles for Mario to solve. An [[Elusive Badge!|anonymous quest]] comes from [[Ms. Mowz]] and requires Mario to find a badge she is looking for but can not find. After this quest is completed, she joins Mario's team.

| |
| The [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] is an optional challenge. Before or after saving the world, Mario can take on the enemies found in the 100-basement floor area known as the Pit of 100 Trials. The enemies located on levels 51-99 are especially strong. Upon reaching floor 100, Mario discovers [[Bonetail]], the long-lost relative of Hooktail and Gloomtail. After defeating Bonetail, Mario receives the [[Return Postage]] Badge.

| |
| ==Similarities to ''Paper Mario''==
| |
| There are many similarities between the original ''Paper Mario'' and ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', including these elements:
| |
| *The opening is identical to that of the previous game, right down to [[Parakarry]] delivering a letter from Princess Peach.
| |
| *The first partner of both games is a Goomba that gives Mario hints on both enemies and the area. They both have headbonk, tattle, and multi-bonk as attacks.
| |
| *The second partner of both games is a Koopa Troopa. Both are able to be shot out to hit switches, etc. Both of them are also able to use Shell Toss and Power Shell in battle.
| |
| *Both games have partners obtained in [[#Chapter 3: Of Glitz and Glory|Chapter 3]] that have first and last attacks that deal multiple low power hits. Bow with her Fan attacks and Yoshi Kid with his ground pound and Stampede attacks.
| |
| *The fourth partner of each game allows the player to travel across gaps, Parakarry and Yoshi, respectively.
| |
| *Both games have a Bob-omb as a partner, both are able to destroy cracked surfaces, Bombette and Bobbery, respectively.
| |
| *The fifth partner of both games allows Mario to become invisible to enemies, Bow and Vivian, respectively.
| |
| *Both games have a partner who is able to uncover hidden items, and whose basic attack pierces through defense, Watt and Ms. Mowz, respectively.
| |
| *Both games have a partner who has betrayed an enemy to join Mario's party, Lakilester and Vivian, respectively.
| |
| *Both games have a partner who lets Mario to ride them to move faster, Lakilester and Yoshi, respectively.
| |
| *Both games have some way to let Mario traverse through water, the partner Sushie and Boat Mode, respectively. Additionally, both are only available when stepped on a specific panel.
| |
| *The main plot point of both games is to find seven star-shaped entities, each granting Mario special abilities.
| |
| *Both games have an upgrade system for Mario's Jump and Hammer attacks.
| |
| *In both games the player is able to play as Peach between chapters. The player is required to dress Peach up as an enemy to learn secrets. Also, the player can cook something in both games. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Bowser's side-quest is separated from Peach's, as he is not the one who kidnapped her.
| |
| *As with the first ''Paper Mario'' game, a main antagonist sees Peach disguised as a minion, and remarks on how she smells "too nice".
| |
| *Mario and Peach contact each other using friendly characters in both games. [[Twink]] helped in ''Paper Mario'' and TEC-XX in ''The Thousand-Year Door''. In the end, both Twink and TEC develop feelings for Peach (despite of the latter is actually an AI).
| |
| *Mario must solve a mystery in both games. A [[Bumpty]] is Mario's fellow detective in both.
| |
| *At one point in the games, Mario falls for a ploy created by the boss of the level which led him to be confined in a cage alongside several other prisoners. A ? block in ''Paper Mario'', and a fake puni pedestal in ''The Thousand-Year Door''.
| |
| *[[#Chapter 1: Castle and Dragon|Chapter 1]] in both games features a castle/fortress as the location of the boss, with both being located in peaceful, green plains. Additionally, both bosses are revered by denizens of the local town ([[Koopa Village]] and [[Petalburg]], respectively, which are both largely inhabited by [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]s). Both towns feature a distinctive, elderly Koopa ([[Kroop]] and [[Koopa Koot]], respectively).
| |
| *The partner acquired in [[#Chapter 2: The Great Boggly Tree|Chapter 2]] in both games required Mario to bring them an item.
| |
| *An oversized [[Clubba]] is the boss of Chapter 3 in both games, and both have a secret that involves making themselves powerful. Both are sought after by persistent female characters interested in finding lost persons (Bow and Jolene, respectively). Additionally, both Clubba characters have positioned security units to guard certain areas ([[Sentinel]]s and [[Glitz Pit Security]] respectively).
| |
| *In both games, at one point, Mario has to chase the Chapter 3 bosses (Grubba and Tubba's Heart).
| |
| *Chapter 4 in both games involves Mario accessing the storage room of a certain shop to make progress. It also involves widespread (and comical) mischief in a town; for ''Paper Mario'', it is the [[Shy Guy]] frenzy that takes place. For ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', the denizens of Twilight Town are being turned into pigs at the toll of a bell.
| |
| *[[Moustafa]] and [[Flavio]] both give the player stones needed to reach an ancient, rumored to be haunted, place. Also both of the ghost bosses (Tutankoopa and Cortez) try to intimidate Mario by uttering threats as he progresses through the level.
| |
| *Buying a [[Dried Shroom]] and another certain item along with it was a secret sign in both games that was required to reach Moustafa and Don Pianta, respectively.
| |
| *[[#Chapter 5: The Key to Pirates|Chapter 5]] takes place on a tropical island with coconuts in both games and both involve an expedition. Also, in both games this is when Mario's oldest partner joins him, and they both have to be rescued from being stuck in a tree before they do so.
| |
| *The Chapter 5 bosses, [[Lava Piranha]] and [[Cortez]], are similar as Cortez's spine in his first form and Lava Piranha's stem are in the exact same position, and both of them have multiple forms, each with the same amount of HP. They are also accompanied by multiple entities, each with their own mechanics, attacks, and HP.
| |
| *In both games, Princess Peach must make something. Also, in both games, if she makes a mistake in the directions of making it, it comes out wrong (making a cake for [[Gourmet Guy]] and making the invisibility potion)
| |
| *After the battle against Cortez is over, one of the [[Toad (species)|Toad]] sailors tells everyone that he feels a "slight wind" coming from the cracked wall, just as [[Misstar]] did in the first one. The Bob-omb partner of both games is needed to blow that up. Also, the most frequently fought boss of both games (Jr. Troopa and Crump, respectively) conveniently show up after Chapter 5 is completed.
| |
| *Chapter 6 takes place in a beautiful area and has a boss that can do a very high amount of damage when charged up: 16 for [[Huff N. Puff]], 10 for [[Smorg]]. Also, both are blob-shaped and made up of a smaller species. Additionally, [[Ruff Puff]]s appear in the sixth chapter of both games.
| |
| *Chapter 7 features a snowy region.
| |
| *Chapter 8 includes a battle against Bowser before the final battle. Also, Kammy Koopa is fought in both chapters.
| |
| *Both games contain puzzles in some places that are solved identically or similarly.
| |
| **The [[Riddle Tower]] has many puzzles from [[Crystal Palace]], including walking through or blowing up seemingly solid walls.
| |
| **The [[Palace of Shadow]] has puzzles and traps from [[Bowser's Castle]], including an area wherein Mario only makes progress by following a pattern (though this is actually taken from the final castle level in ''Super Mario Bros.'')
| |
| **Both dungeons in the final chapters have rooms with stairs where Mario has to defeat [[B. Bill Blaster]]s to reach the next level.
| |
| *The main villain of both games (which have kidnapped Peach) had to be chased through long stairways in the eighth chapter of both games.
| |
| *Mario's final battle is divided into multiple parts. At one point, each boss is invincible and Peach plays an integral role in negating that invincibility.
| |
| *Peach conveniently gets taken away in both games right before Mario and company reach the hideaways of the games' main antagonists.
| |
| *In both games, there is a scene where Mario can turn into 8-bit Mario with ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' level 1-1 music playing.
| |
| *Both games have [[Merlon]] standing outside his house, waiting for Mario and his partners to show up, where he tells them about a dream that he had, and tells them to let him know if they find out the meaning of it. Afterwards, an item that is placed at the top of Merlon's house is revealed.
| |
| *Both games have a spike room where Bow's Outta Sight or Vivian's Veil must be used, and the position of the paths across the spikes are identical.
| |
| *Both games feature a boss who poses a threat by eating people (Tubba Blubba and Hooktail), and both of these bosses have a secret weakness.
| |
| *Both games include a test during the Chapter 5 interlude that Princess Peach has to take and has information that helps Mario in the future.
| |
| *Both games end with a [[victory parade|parade]] led by Luigi (though in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' it is not a traditional parade, and is mainly a line of all the character's silhouettes used as a way to show everyone).
| |
| *Both games' endings feature a scene in which Mario, after returning [[Mario Bros.' House|home]] from his travels, is shown hanging around with Luigi, having just told his brother the story of his adventure.

| |
| }}
| |
| *The title theme was edited in international versions to flow smoother and make the drumroll more subtle than the Japanese version.
| |
|
| |
| ===Technical changes===
| |
| *There is no health warning screen when starting up the game in the Japanese version.
| |
| *There is no delay for when the player can press start on the title screen in the Japanese version.
| |
| *Holding {{button|gcn|a}} when the player does not have the Ultra Boots prevents Mario from moving in the Japanese version.
| |
| *On the Level Up screen, the cursor is set to FP by default in the Japanese version, while in the international versions, the player has to manually move the cursor to either HP or BP.
| |
| *In the Japanese version, Mario and his partners are fully healed at the end of Chapter 1, but at the end of all the other chapters, they do not get healed at all. In the international versions, Mario and his partners are fully healed at the end of each chapter except Chapter 8.<ref>[http://papermariorta.wikia.com/wiki/Paper_Mario:_The_Thousand_Year_Door#Version_Differences Paper Mario RTA Wiki]</ref>
| |
| *The international versions have more Stylish moves than the Japanese version. For example, there is no second Stylish after a normal jump in the Japanese version.
| |
| *Many of the items at the Pianta Parlor have different positioning in the menu in the Japanese version.
| |
| *The backtrace screen has some additional functionality in the international versions. In the international versions, the entire screen is used and also scrolls, while in the Japanese version only a part of the screen is used and it does not scroll.
| |
| *The international versions have a wider frame window when pulling out Action Commands.
| |
| *In the Pit of 100 Trials, when a player defeats an enemy, the pipes show up faster in the Japanese version.
| |
| *Koopook is moved to a different position (further to the left) in Hooktail Castle during his trouble in the Japanese version.
| |
| *Every enemy's stats stayed the same between all versions. However, the American version mistakenly claims that the Red Spike Top has 5 defense instead of 4, and that Rawk Hawk has 3 attack and 1 defense rather than 4 and 0, respectively. These mistakes were corrected in the European version.
| |
| *The English script mistakenly says the [[Zess Frappe]] and [[Icicle Pop]] restore 20 and 10 [[Heart Point|HP]] when they restore 20 and 15 [[Flower Point|FP]] in all versions, respectively.
| |
| *During pre-Chapter 5, Swindell the Bandit is moved to the far side of East Rogueport near the barrels. In the international versions, there is one less barrel, and Swindell's position is slightly altered.
| |
| *Giving [[Lumpy (character)|Lumpy]] 200 coins early in the game leaves Mario with 500 [[coin]]s later in the Japanese version and 600 coins later in international versions.
| |
| *All Fuzzies have horrible vision in the Japanese version, as they often do not even notice Mario when he goes by them. In the international versions, the Fuzzies have better vision and thus notice Mario more quickly. In addition, the Fuzzies move slower in the international versions.
| |
| *There is no slowdown when moving up slopes on rooftops with Yoshi in the Japanese version.
| |
| *At the end of Bowser's levels, fireworks are fired in the Japanese version but not in the international versions.
| |
| *In the original Japanese script and every other translation of the game, the final [[Rogueport Direct Mail Service|RDM]] email [[List of e-mails in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#"Surprise!" section|features an additional "hidden" section if the player scroll downs for an extended period of time]]. This portion was removed from the English translation, despite retaining the statement hinting at its existence.

| ===Aesthetic changes===

| |
| |Mario talking to the NPCs in the NTSC (left) and PAL (right) versions of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. Note that in the NTSC version Mario does the both "hand rising" and "mouth opening" animations, while the PAL version of the game retains only the latter.
| |
| |size=400
| |
| |align=right
| |
| }}
| |
| *Some items were redesigned in international versions:
| |
| **[[Super Luigi (series)#Super Luigi 5|Super Luigi 5]] is red instead of orange.
| |
| **The kanji on the [[Wrestling Mag]] is replaced with scribbles.
| |
| **The Power Rush [[badge]] has a different letter for every language.
| |
| **Vintage Red was renamed [[Chuckola Cola (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Chuckola Cola]] and recolored purple to resemble soda instead of wine.
| |
| *The [[Boo]]s [[Peeka]] and [[Lahla]] wear bunny ears in the Japanese version, but cat ears in international versions to avoid resembling a {{wp|Playboy Bunny|bunny suit}}.
| |
| *[[TEC-XX]]'s camera "eye" is blue instead of red in international versions to tone down similarities to the {{wp|HAL 9000}}.
| |
| *[[Larson]]'s [[Toad (species)|Toad]] chalk outline and bloodstains in his house were removed from international versions to remove violent undertones.
| |
| *In the English and German scripts, [[Vivian]] is referred to with feminine pronouns and has no mention of being a male-to-female {{wp|gender dysphoria|gender dysphoric}}.
| |
| *The [[Shadow Queen]] is slightly more formal and condescending in the English script.
| |
| *Before the battle against Shadow Queen, if Mario chooses to be her servant, after her spell has casted on Mario, Mario's sprite changes to the same as Doopliss's appearance when impersonating as him in the Japanese version, notably for the evil-looking appearance, and the effects from L Emblem and W Emblem are also removed (like how Doopliss's fake copy of Mario cannot change colors either). However, in the international version, Mario keeps the same angry pose before the spell, and his appearance and color remain unchanged.
| |
| *A few cutscenes involving flashing lights were edited down in the international versions, probably to reduce the chance of players getting epileptic seizures:
| |
| **The flashing lights during the first Shadow Queen cutscene were reduced.
| |
| **The flashing lights during the cutscene in the room that makes the Emerald Star appear were reduced.
| |
| **However, the animation for Showstopper, which despite being arguably worse than the two stated above, was not edited.
| |
| *PAL versions have additional differences from all NTSC versions. Only NTSC versions can be played in progressive scan mode, and only PAL versions can be played in 50Hz mode, using the same method to activate each. The American and Japanese versions have their languages locked to English and Japanese, respectively, while the PAL version can additionally be played in Spanish, French, Italian and German depending on the GameCube settings. Also, in NTSC versions, Mario has two different talking animations, one involving him raising his hand and one involving him moving his mouth, and each one is used in different scenarios. Only the "mouth moving" one is used in the PAL version, however, to avoid resemblance to the Nazi salute.

| ===Reveal trailer===
| |
| This game was initially titled ''Paper Mario 2'' and featured a far different logo, one reminiscent of the original ''Paper Mario''{{'}}s logo.
| |
|
| |
| Part of the original trailer shows an extra ledge above the pipe in the room directly east of the Thousand Year Door, with an [[HP Plus (badge)|HP Plus]] badge on it. It could be accessed via a moving platform which had a wall over it halfway, which appeared to be passable with help from [[Vivian]]. Also, [[Beldam]] and [[Doopliss]] were originally going to be fought somewhere in [[Riverside Station]]. The trailer also showed that [[Item Shop]]s would be labeled with Mushrooms, much as in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', rather than the [[Fire Flower]]s seen in the final game. [[Red Bones]] was initially named "Red Koopa Skeleton." In the same trailer, one can see that "Tornado Jump" was initially called "Hurrican Jump".{{sic}} The status element Slow had a different icon, a snail instead of a sad purple face.

| ===Koops splashing on Dry Land===
| |
| At the dock of [[Rogueport]], the player should stand on or near the bollard and use [[Shell Toss|Koops's ability]], holding {{button|gcn|X}} so he remains in place. Without letting go of the button, the player should walk away so that Koops is offscreen, and talk to a character in the same area. When the player is done, Koops respawns next to Mario. There is a splash animation even on dry land. This glitch also works in [[Petalburg]].

| |
| |''With Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga finished and stashed away, I was ready for another opportunity to venture into Mario's RPG realm. While there's plenty of room for better presentation (Paper Mario Revolution, anyone), this game is an absolute blast to play. Get past the slow-moving first chapter and some clunky NPC path finding routines in chapter 2 and you'll be hooked. The story is funny, the gameplay varied, and the world so charming, you'll want to explore every last corner of it. Add to that plenty of playable characters and sidekicks, some great cameos, a memorable score loaded with classic melodies, and a quest that runs a good 30 hours long, and you've got another winning offshoot in the mighty Mario franchise.Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door improves on its predecessor in every way and takes the cake as the best Mario RPG yet. Highly recommended.''

| |
| |''Paper Mario 2 is clearly a game for fans, created by people with genuine affection for the Mario legacy...it's a testament to the diversity of the medium that in a season marked by realistic, violent and often grim video games like GTA, Halo 2 and Def Jam: FFNY, a game like Paper Mario can be so willfully charming, harmless and child-friendly in appearance and still make for a compelling, sophisticated experience. It's a must-have for Mario nuts, and is worth a look for everyone else. With its simple, brilliant graphics, impressive sound design and laid-back but addictive gameplay, Paper Mario 2 is an excellent sequel -- and a great game in its own right.''

| |''Of course, you've long since realised how this was going to end. But we're trying. We're trying to put ourselves in the minds of people who would treat this game with prejudice and toss it back in our laps and say "No thanks", or just turn up on the comments thread and tell us it's crap, but quite honestly you would have to actually hate Mario, or Nintendo, in order for this not to entertain you. Whether you think you like role-playing games or not. Fair enough, if Mario has stolen your girlfriend, keyed your car, broken the lead in your pencil and signed you up to the Britannia Music Club, we don't expect you to buy this. But the only things we can say against it are specialised nit-pickings. We were honestly going to mention this one occasion when we had to redo something relatively straightforward five times due to our own cackhandedness. That's about as bad as it got for us. Otherwise our only feelings of concern stemmed from our fear that we might not get far enough in quick enough time to be able to tell you with any authority whether Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is every bit as good as Intelligent Systems could make it. Well, we did, so we can. And it is.''

| |
| |''If I had to fault Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on something, it would be its reliance on backtracking. You have to do a frightful amount of it in most of the scenarios. At best, doing so allows you to access spots in previous areas that you perhaps weren't able to before. At worst? You'll have to perform some tricky platforming one time more than you feel you should. But in the end, this is what the games that inform its design are like, so I guess we have to take the good with the bad. And when it comes to Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, it's mostly all good. If you have a history of playing 2D side-scrollers, this game will make you remember just why you loved them. And if you have a soul, then this game will make it feel all warm and fuzzy.''

| *''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': One of the badges is named "Jumpman", referencing to how Mario was alternatively named in this game. In addition, although not in the game itself, the Official Nintendo Power Player's Guide alluded to Mario's encounters with the titular ape from the game where they mentioned that the X-Nauts thought they could dissuade Mario with various platforms at high places, but they had not heard of his exploits against "a certain ape."
| |
| *''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': At the X-Naut Fortress in the Changing Room, Mario and Co. can change into an 8-bit sprite of themselves, along with the ''Super Mario Bros.'' music playing in the background. [[Hamma, Bamma, and Flare|Hamma]] also mentioned that his grandfather was at World 7-1. Bowser's gameplay is also a direct parody of this game. In the Japanese and French versions of the game, the video-game obsessed Toad from Petalburg refers to ''Super Mario Bros'' as his favorite game for the Famicom and Nintendo Entertainment System, respectively, also urging Mario to play it in the latter version.
| |
| *[[Family Computer Disk System|Famicom Disk System]] boot up: During the Peach transition scene for Chapter 5, when Peach is invisible and retrieves a disc from Grodus's office, the computer screen displays a scene of Mario and Luigi fighting over a light switch, referring to the boot up screen for the Famicom Disk System if the player did not input a disk beforehand.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': The [[Grass Land]] theme is arranged as part of the music that plays during the opening cutscene. Whenever Jolene (while under the alias of "X") sent Mario an e-mail, the [[Ice Land]] map screen theme would play. The music that plays when Mario is riding the blimp is a cover of the athletic theme from this game. This game also included [[Boomerang Bro]]s., [[Fire Bro]]s., and [[Boo]]s, which originated from this game. Also, the "king saved" music can be heard in Luigi's story telling theme. Also like ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the game's story is implied to be a stage play (although it is more direct than in the former game, as it was only stated by Shigeru Miyamoto in the former case). In addition, Peach after each chapter ends up sending (e-)mail to Mario with advice for the next level, with her final mail upon completing all objectives being intercepted by the main villain, similar to in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Bowser's theme song contains a cover of the castle theme.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario World]]'': Whenever Peach sends Mario an e-mail, the title screen theme would play. Whenever Mario gets an e-mail from other people, part of the epilogue theme (from when a [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] castle is beaten) plays. When Mario wins a battle, the "level clear" sound plays.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'': Blue [[Bandit]]s appear as NPCs. [[Atomic Boo]] closley resembles [[Bigger Boo]] from this game.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario 64]]'': In the first [[Princess Peach]] interlude, Peach is singing the Inside the Castle Walls theme from this game when she is in the shower.
| |
| *''[[Paper Mario]]'': [[Parakarry]] makes a brief cameo at the beginning of the game, and delivers a letter to Mario from Peach, just like the previous game. [[Lady Bow]] also makes a cameo appearance, and makes a direct reference to [[Boo's Mansion]], as well as the adventure they had. There is also a random [[Toad (species)|Toad]] at the Excess Express (after Chapter 6 is completed) that asks Mario a quiz question, ("What did Bowser steal in the first Paper Mario?"), and the answer is, "[[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]]". The video game-obsessed Toad kid from Petalburg also mentions that he has been playing the game, describing Bow as the "cutest Boo of ALL TIME!!!" [[Jr. Troopa]] also appears in the background in the picture that Zip Toad attached to his e-mail. [[Gulpit]]s are also given a reference when Grubba exclaims, "GREAT-GALLOPIN' GULPITS!". A [[Lumpy (character)|Ratooey]] at Rogueport Harbor who went on a quest for oil in [[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Desert]] can tell Mario about this adventures at the end of the game. Every part is a chapter of [[Paper Mario]] game. In the email he sends to Mario after finding him, [[Koopook]] says he is now hiding in [[Crystal Palace]] in the Japanese version; however, this last reference is lost in the English translation, as Crystal Palace is instead translated as "Goomstar Temple". [[Kolorado]] was a student of [[Professor Frankly]], and the former's [[Kolorado's father|deceased father]] appears as a crumpled [[Dull Bones]] in Hooktail's Castle, which [[Koops]] confuses for his own father. One of the houses in Poshley Heights has a model of the K64.
| |
| *''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'': During one of Luigi's stories, he tells Mario he had to sign up for a Kart race, and mentions he had driven karts before, giving reference to the Mario Kart series.
| |
| *''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'': A crow in [[Twilight Town]] says he will set up an estate pay site named Luigi's Mansion, and his crow friend says that "he's heard that name somewhere before", referencing this game.
| |
| *''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'': In the Spanish version of the game, Rawk Hawk's victory gloat after beating [[The Koopinator]] specifically referenced ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' (in all other versions, he simply says they are better off playing video games without naming one in particular).
| |
| *''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'': [[Toadsworth]], [[Pianta]]s, and Shine Sprites appear in the game to upgrade Mario's partners. The parrot in Creepy Steeple randomly says the infamous translation of "Shine get!".
| |
| *''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'': [[Chuckola Cola (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Chuckola Cola]] is an item in this game, referring to the game it has been appeared first. The "Super-Guarding" ability was likely inspired by the ability to counter enemies' attacks in ''Superstar Saga''. Mario gaining field abilities to use in battle (Spin Jump, Spring Jump, Super/Ultra (spin) hammer) as special FP consuming attacks were also likely inspired by field abilities in ''Superstar Saga'' being used in battle as Bros. Attacks. One of Bowser's options during his conversation with [[Pennington]] during the Chapter 7 interlude is The Shadow Thief, a reference to [[Popple]]. The difference of the naming methods between the English and Japanese titles are similar to this game, as the English titles of both games have a subtitle under the series names (''Mario & Luigi'' and ''Paper Mario'' respectively), while the Japanese titles simply have the term "RPG" under the series names.

| |
| *''[[Super Paper Mario]]'': This game is alluded to by a video game-obsessed Toad in Petalburg. At the end of the game, he states that he has been playing "the new ''Paper Mario'' game" called ''Super Paper Mario'', which was released in 2007 for the [[Wii]], and that it will be pleasing to fans of [[Luigi]], which hints that the game was already in production and/or planning stages at the time ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' was in development. All seven partners from ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' make cameo appearances as [[Catch Card]]s that are won by completing the [[Duel of 100]] at [[Sammer's Kingdom]]. [[Francis]] also has plush toys of the Yoshi (in all colors), Vivian, Bobbery, and Pennington, along with a poster of Petuni. In Francis' list of things to buy, Rawk Hawk was given a reference when he stated that he wants a DVD called, "''Harder than Bedrawk: The Rawk Hawk Story''". Francis also stated that he wants a Ms. Mowz doll with "real-smooching action", an Excess Express train set, and a Magnus Von Grapple action figure. Francis also happens to watch "''[[List of implied entertainment#Starship X-Naut|Starship X-Naut]]''" and "''[[List of implied entertainment#The Grodus Chronicles|The Grodus Chronicles]]''". Also, [[Fracktail]] and [[Wracktail]], themselves are homages to Hooktail and Bonetail. Additonally, there is also a [[Sammer Guy]] who calls himself "Laughing X-Naut" and another who calls himself "The Thousand Year Roar". Lastly, Slim's ability to make Mario, Peach, Bowser, or Luigi thin is a reference to the second curse in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.
| |
| *''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'': Goombella, Mini-Yoshi, Vivian, and Rawk Hawk appear as [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]]s. Goombella also has her own trophy. Also, the words, "CRUMP" and "RAWK" appear in the random name selection, which are possible references to Lord Crump and Rawk Hawk.
| |
| *''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'': In the level [[Shy Guy Jungle]], there is a pile of garbage with many letters, one letter is written by [[Goombella]] and it states: "Observations on the Ancient Civilization of the [[Chomp Ruins]]."
| |
| *''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'': The [[S.S. Flavion]] appears as a variation of a ''Paper Mario'' stage in this game. A [[Big Blooper]] based on the boss also appears in the stage variation's background. An arrangement of the Rogueport theme is also part of the stage's main song.
| |
| *''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'': The [[Fuzzy Horde]], which debuted in this game, returns in several levels.
| |
| *''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'': Paper Mario's Airplane and Paper Modes return. During Trio Grab, Paper Mario turns into a tube, similar to Tube Mode. He can also turn into a paper drill during Trio Drill, which is similar in concept to the paper abilities from this game. When Paper Mario meets the Mario Bros., he performs a Spring Jump. Paper Mario borrows his blocking and KO'd animations from this game. The trio gains Star Points by performing Action Commands correctly, which is similar to how Paper Mario and his partners had to appeal to the audience by doing the same thing, and by also being stylish. The stage where Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario stand when they level up is similar to the stage from this game's battles, down to the yellow stripes on the curtains.
| |
| *''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'': Peach summons Mario over to the current destination due to a discovery she made (although in this case Peach personally has Mario come along). Peach also ended up abducted shortly after bringing Mario along (although in that case, Mario does witness Peach's abduction). She also sends mail giving some hints about the main villain's plan and the next destination that Mario should head towards in the form of [[Holo-Peach]]es, and her last mail has Peach's message being cut off by the main antagonist (Black Bowser) just as Peach was about to give key details about his villainous plan. In addition, a character gets possessed by a grave evil (in this case, Bowser via Black Paint, while in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', it was Peach who was possessed by the Shadow Queen). Also, the Big Paint Stars serve a similar function to the Crystal Stars.
| |
| *''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'': Peach's design from ''The Thousand-Year Door'' appears as a photo. Additionally, when Mario and [[Bob-omb (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Bob-omb]] interact with the steering wheel on [[the Princess Peach]], the latter mentions that he dreams of being an admiral someday, in reference to [[Admiral Bobbery]].
