Chronological Overview

Title, Original Release and System	Synopsis and Ratings
Paper Mario	The series began in 2000 with Paper Mario. This was the second Mario RPG game, the first being Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. This game was originally going to be called Super Mario RPG 2, but the name was changed due to problems with Square Enix, the company that made Super Mario RPG. The game started of with Mario recieving an invitation to Princess Peach's Castle. But when he arrives the castleis lifted up into the sky. This was caused by Bowser, who had stolen the legendary Star Rod, which could grant people's wishes. Bowser throws Mario out of the castle, and so his adventure begins. This game was later released on the Wii's Virtual Console.

Paper Mario:The Thousand-Year Door	Later, in 2004 Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was released. This time, Bowser was not the main villain. The antagonist was Sir Grodus, the leader of the X-Nauts. The X-Nauts have kidnapped Peach, and Mario must save her by finding the Crystal Stars. Though he was not the main villain, Bowser still had a role to play as a minor villain. The player could even use him at certain stages. The main location of this game is Rogueport, a seaside town with a nasty reputation.

Super Paper Mario	The most recent installment, Super Paper Mario, had a very different battle style to the other games. Instead of going into a stage and choosing attacks, the characters simply had to run and jump or use one of a Pixls' moves to defeat an enemy. The story starts with Mario and Luigi at their house, when a Toad appears and tells them that Princess Peach has been kidnapped. The Mario Bros. blamed Bowser, but when they reached his castle, the real kidnapper, Count Bleck, appeared. Bleck sucked everyone into a balck hole except Mario, who is then found by a Pixl named Tippi, who tells him that he needs to find the seven Pure Hearts to save his friends. This game also gave Mario the unique ability to flip dimensions. He could be in either 2D or 3D, but he can only stay 3D for a short time.

Paper Mario (Nintendo 3DS)	The fourth installment of the series is planned to be released for the Nintendo 3DS. It will return to the original, turn-based system. Mario will once again have partners assisting him, instead of Pixls. One is a Chain Chomp.
TBA Nintendo 3DS

Characters

Main protagonists

Character	Brief Biography	First Paper Mario Appearance
Mario	Mario is the main hero of the series. He is often saving Princess Peach from the evil clutches of Bowser, but in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario, Mario was saving Peach from other villains such as Sir Grodus and Count Bleck. Mario often carries around a Hammer which he uses as a key weapon.(For unknown reasons Mario's hammer was not in Super Paper Mario. It was instead replaced by Cudge the Pixl) Mario can also equip himself with badges, which can give him power-ups that can be useful in battle. In Super Paper Mario, Mario possesed the ability to flip dimensions. This power was given to him by Bestovius, the "Flip Wizard".	Paper Mario
Princess Peach	Princess Peach is the damsel-in-distress of the series. Peach is the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom and lives in her castle. Though captured throughout games, Peach still is not completely helpless. In Paper Mario and its sequel, she is able to contact Mario with the help of Twink in the first game, and TEC in the second. Peach was only held hostage for a short time in the third game. As part of Dimentio's master plan, Peach disappeared from Castle Bleck and reappered in Flipside, the place where Mario was at the time. Peach decided to join Mario on his quest. Peach uses her umbrella, which can shield her from enemy attacks and allow her to glide in order to reach difficult places. Peach even played the part of the villain at one time, when she was possesed by the Shadow Queen in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.	Paper Mario
Luigi	Luigi is Mario's younger brother. He had a very minor role in the Paper Mario series until Super Paper Mario. In Paper Mario, when Mario and Luigi were invited to Princess Peach's castle, it was lifted up to the sky. Luigi managed to escape, and returned to the Bros. house to look after it while Mario is on his adventure. In the second game, Luigi arrived at Rogueport after one of the chapters, and tells Mario about his own adventures in the Waffle Kingdom. In Super Paper Mario, Luigi is a much more important character. He, with many others, is kidnapped by Count Bleck and imprisoned somewhere in his castle. Luigi is later found and brainwashed into thinking he is Mr. L, one of Bleck's servants. He is later rescued and joins Mario's Party.	Paper Mario
Bowser	Bowser is Mario's rival, and the king of the Koopa Troop. His main goal is, with the help of Kammy Koopa, to take over the world and marry Princess Peach, but he actually isn't really too evil and thus appears in the series as the main villain (in Paper Mario) but also as a secondary villain (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door) or even an anti-hero (Super Paper Mario). In Paper Mario, he stole the Star Rod to make his own wishes come true, and thus he became invincible, but Mario could still beat him with the help of the Star Spirits. In the second game, he learned that someone kidnapped Princess Peach and went to save her, as he claims he's the only person who has the right to kidnap Peach. Additionally, he tried to get the Crystal Stars but every of his tries fails. He accidentaly fell on Grodus while Mario was battling him, thus stopping the battle. He immediately tries to beat Mario, but loses again. In the third game, he's married to Peach by Count Bleck but that event creates the Chaos Heart. Bowser finally helped Mario and Peach to save the worlds, because if the world didn't exist anymore, he wouldn't be able take over it (although the game later hints that he may actually like the worlds and didn't want them to be destroyed).	Paper Mario

It had escaped from its prison at Tubba Blubba's Castle only to be captured there. Bow told Mario that if he wanted the Star Spirit, he'd have to defeat Tubba Blubba, who had been eating the Boos. Bow decided to go with Mario, and when he suceeded in riding the boos of Tubba Blubba, she still accampanied him. Bow has the ability to make Mario invisible. In battle, she is able to smack an enemy, scare them away from the battlefield, or hit them with her fan.

Paper Mario
Lakilester	Lakilester is a Lakitu from Flower Fields. Lakilester originally started as one of Huff N. Puff's minions, and attacked Mario, but Mario bested him in the fight, and right before it looked like the end for Lakilester, his girlfriend, Lakilulu, shows up. Lakilulu pleads for Mario to spare Lakilester's life. Mario listens and Lakilester joins his party. Lakilester can hover Mario over surfaces that would injure Mario if he tried, such as spikes or lava. Lakilester's attacks are a Spiny Flip, where he throws a Spiny Egg at an enemy, Spiny Surge, where he throws a massive amount of Spinies at enemies, Cloud Nine, where he creates a cloud that raises Mario's evasion, and Hurricane, a powerful move that blows enemies out of battle.

She is being followed by Lord Crump who wants to know how she found out about Crystal Stars. As Mario comes closer to the scene Goombella sees Mario and hides behind him.

After beating the Shadow Sirens and retrieving the necklace, they give it to Flurrie, who then decided to help the Punis. Throughout the level she came in handy. After defeating Lord Crump, she decided to come with Mario, seeing how she could get the thrill of stardom by traveling with him.	Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Yoshi	Yoshi is Mario's fourth party member in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He started off as an egg, which was imported from a southern island to be an extra ingredient for Mr. Hoggle's Hot Dogs. However, that plan backfired, since the Yoshi was still alive in the egg, and began jumping around. Unable to catch it himself, Mr. Hoggle asked Mario and his partners to get it for him. They succeeded, but eventually Mr. Hoggle decided that he didn't want the egg anymore, since he figured that no one would want to eat anything that "jumps around". Yoshi, while inside the egg, started to accompany Mario and his party, until he eventually hatched during their battle against the Iron Adonis Twins. After the Yoshi hatched from the egg, he thanked Mario and company for saving him from Mr. Hoggle, and agreed to fight alongside them for the rest of the game. Outside of battle, Mario can ride Yoshi to move faster, or to get across narrow gaps that Mario cannot jump across on his own, much like Parakarry from the first Paper Mario. Yoshi's default abilities in battle are Ground Pound, which takes up one of an enemy's HP at a time (much like Lady Bow in the first one), and Gulp, where he'll use his tongue to get an enemy into his mouth, and then spit it back out, and hit another enemy. When powered up, Yoshi gains the Mini-Egg attack, which is capable of lowering enemies' attack power, as well as Stampede, where he summons an army of Yoshis to attack.	Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Vivian	Vivian is the fifth party member in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. At the beginning of the game, she was a member of the Shadow Sirens and Secret Society of X-Nauts, but she eventually switched sides, due to the fact that she was contantly being being belittled and verbally abused by her older sister, Beldam. Outside of battle, Vivian can use the Veil technique to sink into the shadows with Mario to avoid enemies and obstacles. In battle, Vivian's default ability, in addition to Veil, is Shade Fist, where she can punch enemies and set them on fire. After she's leveled up, Vivian gains the abilities, Fiery Jinx and Infatuate. Fiery Jinx allows her to burn all enemies on screen, while her Infatuate ability confuses enemies, causing them to attack one another, instead of Mario and his party.	Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Bobbery	Admiral Bobbery is the sixth and final required party member in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He was a renowned Bob-omb sailor who spent most of his life traveling around the sea. Eventually, his wife, Scarlette, succumed to a fatal illness while he was away, and by the time Bobbery came back home, Scarlette had long since passed away. After this, Bobbery was overcome with guilt and fell into a state of depression. He felt that if he hadn't been away, then he could have nursed his wife back to health. As a result, he vowed to never set sail again. That is, until Mario and his party came to his house, in need of a navigator for their expedition to Keelhaul Key. Bobbery refused to go with them at first, until Mario and company delivered a letter to him, which was written by Scarlette before she died. Outside of battle, Bobbery's abilities are nearly identicle to that of Bombette's from the first Paper Mario. He could explode near cracked walls and uncover hidden areas. Unlike Bombette, however, Mario could throw him in higher areas. In battle, Bobbery's standard abilities are Bomb, which allows him to explode on a single enemy at a time, and Bomb Squad, where he throws minature time bombs, which can gradually damage the enemies. After being powered up, he gains Hold Fast, which can damage direct attackers, and Bob-Ombast, which has the ability to damage or kill all enemies on screen.	Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Ms. Mowz	Ms. Mowz is an optional party member in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. She is the manager of the Lovely Howz of Badges in Rougeport. Whenever she isn't running the shop, she's usually out, hunting for rare Badges to sell at her store. After the player takes on her trouble, Ms. Mowz will join Mario's party. Outside of battle, she has the ability to sniff out and locate nearby items. In battle, her standard abilities are Love Slap, which has the ability to piece enemy defenses, and Kiss Thief, where she could steal items from enemies and add them to Mario's inventory.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Thoreau	Thoreau is first Pixl party member in Super Paper Mario that gives Mario a new ability. He is one of the original twelve Pixls involved in the Pixl uprising that took place 1,500 years prior to the events of Super Paper Mario. Thoreau, as with the rest of them, was put in a "hibernation" state, and was locked inside of a treasure chest until awakened by the legendary hero that was mentioned in the Light Prognosticus, which just-so-happened to be Mario. Thoreau was needed in order for Mario to prove to Watchitt that he was the hero that was mentioned in the Light Prognosticus. Thoreau gives the heroes the ability to hold and throw enemies, similar to Super Mario Bros. 2. He could also be used to press switches that the heroes cannot reach on their own.	Super Paper Mario
Boomer	Boomer is the second Pixl party member in Super Paper Mario to lend Mario and the rest of the heroes a new ability. As with Thoreau, Boomer was also involved in the Pixl uprising that took place 1,500 years prior to Super Paper Mario. Like Bombette and Bobbery from the first two Paper Mario titles, Boomer has the ability to destroy enemies by exploding on them, as well as blowing up cracked walls to reveal hidden areas for Mario and the rest of the heroes to access.	Super Paper Mario
Slim	Slim is the third Pixl party member to give Mario and the rest of the heroes a new ability in Super Paper Mario. He was another of the twelve Pixls involved in the uprising that took place 1,500 prior to the game. Slim's ability is slightly similar to Lady Bow's Outta Sight and Vivian's Veil technique, since it allows Mario and company to evade attacks from enemies and obstacles (such as spikes). This ability also allows Mario to go through narrow passageways.	Super Paper Mario
Thudley	Thudley is the fourth Pixl party member to lend his power to Mario and the rest of the heroes in Super Paper Mario. He, just like all the others, was involved in the Pixl uprising incident that happened 1,500 prior to the game. Thudley allows Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Luigi to use a Ground Pound technique, much like the Spin Jump from the first two Paper Mario titles. This ability allows the heroes to pound pillars (which usually has to be done in a certain order) to access the next area. This ability also does a lot more damage to enemies than an average jump would.	Super Paper Mario
Carrie	Carrie is the fifth Pixl party member in Super Paper Mario to lend her power to the heroes. Carrie, as with all the others, was involved in the Pixl uprising that took place 1,500 prior to the game. Unlike most of the others, however, Carrie was not contained within a treasure chest. She was instead locked inside of a jail cell within Fort Francis. Carrie, like Lakilester and Yoshi, gives Mario and the rest of the heroes the ability to move faster and/or cross hazardous areas without taking any damage. She also allows the heroes to damage spiked enemies by jumping on top of them.	Super Paper Mario
Cudge	Cudge is the sixth Pixl party member to lend his power to the four heroes in Super Paper Mario. He, like all the others, was one of the original twelve Pixls that was involved in the Pixl uprising incident. Similar to Carrie, Cudge was not contained within a treasure chest. Instead, he was imprisoned behind a stone block, which required tablets to be inserted in a certain order. Cudge allows the heroes to hit enemies with a Hammer, as well as breaking yellow blocks to access other areas.	Super Paper Mario
Dottie	Dottie is the seventh and final required Pixl party member to lend power to the four heroes of Super Paper Mario. She was also involved in the Pixl uprising incident that took place 1,500 years prior to the game. As with Carrie and Duge, Dottie was not contained within a treasure chest. Instead, she was behind a locked door in Floro Caverns, helping Gabbro hide from the Floro Sapiens. Dottie has the ability to shrink the heroes, allowing them to access hidden areas that they're normally too big to get through. This ability also allows the heroes to enter areas without being detected by enemies.	Super Paper Mario
Barry	Barry is an optional Pixl party member in Super Paper Mario. He is another of the original twelve Pixls that was involved in the Pixl uprising that took place 1,500 years prior to the events of Super Paper Mario. Barry was first seen in The Bitlands, after Tippi had gotten herself kidnapped by Francis. He stayed behind to give tips to the heroes whenever they were needed. After Francis was defeated, Barry joined Mario's party. He is notable for being the only Pixl who did not have knowledge of the fact that Mario was the hero that was mentioned in the Light Prognosticus. Barry has the ability to briefly surround one of the heroes with a barrier to deal damage against enemies. This ability can also reflect enemy projectiles.	Super Paper Mario
Dashell	Dashell is another optinal Pixl party member in Super Paper Mario. The player can find him at the bottom of the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials, after defeating Wracktail. Dashell gives Mario and the rest of the heroes the ability to run with super speed, much like the NES titles.	Super Paper Mario
Piccolo	Piccolo is the third and final optinal Pixl party member in Super Paper Mario. The player can obtain her by doing favors for Merlee, Merluvlee, Bestovius, and Watchitt. After that, Merlee will award the heroes a key to a locked door in Flopside, where Piccolo is contained inside of a treasure chest. Piccolo has the ability to change the characters' jump sound effects, as well as Bowser's flame. She also has the ability to cure status ailments, as well as putting the Underchomp to sleep.
