Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a Nintendo Switch remake of the 2004 Nintendo GameCube game of the same name, and the first remake in the Paper Mario series. It was first announced during the September 2023 Nintendo Direct, and released worldwide on May 23, 2024.

The title features visually enhanced and updated graphics along with new gameplay features. However, it remains faithful to the style of the original game: the characters still use their designs from the original release (notably, Princess Peach keeps her pre-Mario Party 4 dress design), rather than the updated designs used in the following Paper Mario games. Many voice clips from the original game are also reused, in spite of voice actor changes since the original game's release, including Charles Martinet, Jen Taylor, and Scott Burns, former voice actors of Mario, Peach, and Bowser respectively.

Differences

New content

• The Nostalgic Tunes badge, resembling a Nintendo GameCube, can be bought from the Lovely Howz of Badges for 1 coin. Equipping it will revert the music to the original soundtrack.
• Like in Paper Mario: Color Splash and Paper Mario: The Origami King, a concept art gallery is available. It can be viewed from the menu, with more pieces unlocking throughout the game. The gallery includes concept art from the original game along with concept art specific to the remake. Art galleries are sorted by the story's chapters' locations, and are unlocked after collecting every Star Piece from that chapter's locations.
• An in-game music player is now available from the menu. Music tracks are sorted by the story's chapters' locations in which they play, and are unlocked after collecting every Shine Sprite for that chapter.
• A Purple Toad called the Battle Master can be found around the world. When talked to, he allows Mario to practice his attacks, in a similar fashion to the Action Command Dojo and Battle Lab from previous games. During his battles, Mario fights cardboard Goombas called Goomboards.
• A Little Mouser named Ian Foomus appears in the Trouble Center, offering advice to help with different troubles.
• The Hottest Dog recipe has been added and can made by mixing a Hot Dog with Hot Sauce.
• In the Glitz Pit, Mario no longer goes down a rank if he loses a match. Furthermore, there is an exhibition match option when reserving a match. Exhibition matches allow Mario to select and fight any Glitz Pit team that he is currently ranked above (whenever or not he has fought them), and these battles do not have any battle conditions, nor do they affect Mario's ranking. As a result, the player can now easily obtain Tattle entries for enemies exclusive to the Glitz Pit if they failed to do so earlier. Because Mario no longer deranks, exhibition matches are the only way to fight the Wings of Night and the Destructors in Chapter 3.
• The note that Beldam leaves on the Excess Express is now an inventory item, called the Threatening Note.
• Three trophy items have been added as rewards for Journal completion:
  • The Cooking Trophy for obtaining all recipes
  • The Badge Trophy for obtaining all badges.
  • The Tattle Trophy for completing the Tattle Log.
• Mario is awarded with a Gold Medal for obtaining all three trophies. It has the effect of visually turning him gold, and the effect will stack with the L Emblem and W Emblem.
• Two new bosses have been added:
  • Prince Mush can be challenged at the Glitz Pit. To unlock him, the player must complete Jolene's trouble "Help wanted!", and then wait some time to receive an email from her talking about new Exhibition Matches and that Mush is training. After waiting some more time the player will receive another email, this time from Prince Mush, issuing a challenge. By heading back to the Glitz Pit and selecting Exhibition Match in any league, the player can then challenge him to a fight. Mario will receive Prince Mush's Belt if he defeats him.
  • Whacka can be found in the Pit of 100 Trials and can be defeated to receive the Gold Whacka Bump. In order for it to appear, the player needs to defeat Bonetail, hit Whacka in Keelhaul Key enough times to make it disappear, receive an mail called "RDM Extra Issue" saying a mystical creature has been seen deep in the pit, and traverse the pit again.

Gameplay changes

• On the field, Mario can swing his Hammer forwards and backwards like in entries since Paper Mario: Sticker Star.

• A new warp room similar to the One World, One Pipe room in Musée Champignon from Paper Mario: The Origami King appears, replacing the original pair of warp rooms across Rogueport Underground. When entering this room after taking a Crystal Star to the Thousand-Year Door, the Magical Map is held up in a similar fashion, and unlocks a pipe leading to a locale for that Crystal Star's chapter. There are seven pipe slots instead of four, and a pipe leading from this room to Rogueport plaza can also be opened.
  • Pipes 1, 2, and 6 lead to the second area of Petalburg, the outside of the Great Tree, and the fountain in Poshley Heights in the same spots as the original game.

• The hot dog cutout standee next to the Hot Dog Stand in Glitzville can now be interacted with for photo ops.
• The player can now use the Hammer to locate flippable panels on the ground containing Star Pieces, though the Hammer cannot flip them. In the original game, this is not possible with any Hammer; the only way to locate panels is to use Spin Jumps.

• When using Koops's partner ability on the field, a green circle marker with an arrow is created where Mario jumped off Koops. The arrow indicates the direction Koops's shell will launch.

  • The Japanese script removes lines that refer to Vivian as male; for example, Beldam's line red (red) is replaced with green (green) Goombella's tattle about Vivian also removes any mention of her gender.

Graphical changes

• The entire game has a higher-resolution, more crafted appearance similar to recent entries starting from Paper Mario: Sticker Star onward, though it keeps the original game's smoother animations, rather than the choppier animations seen in those entries. For example, the characters now have a slightly thicker paper texture similar to cardstock, while the pigs have visible seams on them, and coins are fully modeled rather than sprites. As another example, the Crystal Stars have a more realistic shiny texture than the original game. To go alongside these changes, dynamic lighting is now present extensively in many areas.
• The game now runs at 30 frames per second, which is half of the 60 frames per second that the original game runs at.
• Mario's front-facing head now uses its appearance from Paper Mario: The Origami King, rather than its appearance from the original game and all subsequent entries up to Color Splash.

Some examples include the more shocked expressions from participants during the kitchen mystery on the Excess Express, the Rogueport merchant's cloak billowing when Princess Peach opens the chest containing the Magical Map, and enemies laughing at Mario and partners when hit with ceiling debris during battles.
• While Frankie says "I love you" 100 times to Francesca, Mario and his partner fall asleep while Frankie becomes gradually tired.
• The Mario Bros.' House has a group picture of Mario's partners from the first Paper Mario, and during the ending cutscene, the group picture of Mario's partners from The Thousand-Year Door, as a call-forward to Super Paper Mario featuring said pictures. The map inside the house has also been changed to the world map from Paper Mario, and the exterior of the bedroom was sectioned to match its design from that game.
• When Peach's letter is being read in the opening cutscene, it is now displayed over a black background before cutting to the first view of Rogueport, where the letter itself no longer becomes visible at the bottom of the screen.
• The vine patterns on the ground in Boggly Woods now have an iridescent sheen than the gradient of colors used in the original game. Its sky also has a golden hue and glow compared to its beige gradient from the original game.
• The whole party is visible while riding the Cheep Blimp.
• More characters can be seen from behind, such as Mario's partners, unlike in the original, where they are shown in a frontal profile regardless of the camera angle.
• Due to the widescreen resolution, the HUD elements, transitions, and some interiors have been redesigned to accommodate the extra horizontal space. Framing in several cutscenes and some background scenery has also been readjusted to go alongside these changes.
• The character artwork in transitions is now shaded. The transitions themselves also go by much faster compared to the original game.
• More visual aids for points of interest have been implemented, such as a sign that displays an icon with tacked papers above the door to the Trouble Center building, and the pipe leading to Petal Meadows now resting on a grassy platform.
• Areas with a dotted background, such as the backgrounds surrounding partners when they join Mario's party and the area where the black chest face resides are now fully 3D environments, rather than static backgrounds.
• When a black chest face curses Mario, he gets struck by lightning, while in the original, the screen flashes white while Mario is cursed.
• Pa-Patch's eyepatch now always appears over his left eye, while in the original, it would appear on the right eye if he was facing right.
• Bowser now has a rainbow effect instead of flashing yellow when becoming gigantic in his levels.
• The storybook intro sequence is now animated. If all four save files currently are empty, the intro also now comes after the title screen after starting a new save file rather than before it..
• In the Great Tree, the cutscene where the X-Naut gets knocked down by Ms. Mowz happens when the player enter the room, instead of before entering the room with the cells holding the Punis.
• When drained, King K and Bandy Andy no longer have flies hovering over their bodies.
• The magenta Smorgs are not visible in the cutscene before the battle.
• All of Mario's partners are now present each time he holds the Magical Map before the Thousand-Year Door.
• Doopliss is now seen rocking in his chair upon his introduction at the Creepy Steeple.

• The Moon is now seen when Mario and his party are launched from the cannon in Fahr Outpost.
• Attacks that deal no damage now display "0" for the damage; in the original game, only a small star graphic was shown.
• Current HP numbers for Tattled enemies now have them center-aligned beneath their health bars instead of being aligned to the right.
• The Magical Map now starts off in a sepia tone, with each location filling in with color as its corresponding Crystal Star is located by holding it aloft before the Thousand-Year Door. New details that are added to the map also now unfold like a pop-up book.
  • Rogueport Underground, Shhwonk Fortress, the Excess Express, and Riverside Station are now added to the map.
• The curtains now open to reveal the title screen, which does not happen in the original game. They also now remain closed when accessing the file select screen.
• Upon the start of non-First Strike battles, enemies that enter the stage now steel themselves for battle.
• A loading icon appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen when loading scenes, depicting miniature icons of the Crystal Stars arranged in a ring similar to the Big Paint Star ring used in the loading icon for Paper Mario: Color Splash and the streamer ring for Paper Mario: The Origami King.
• The Puni counter is now positioned on the upper-left corner of the screen instead of the lower-left, colored yellow instead of white, and now flashes when Mario is separated from the Punies.
• The Shadow Queen's design has earned minor, lucid changes; her star-filled body and hair are coated in a darker purplish hue with her crown now bearing a shiny, glossy light reflection.
  • The dark flames from the crypt's candles now have glowing white tips instead of having an all dark purple coloration.
  • Hand-like shadows cover the world when the Shadow Queen awakens instead of regular shadows.
• The Thousand-Year Door itself and the pedestal now display colored silhouettes representing the Crystal Stars the player has brought to the latter. In the original game, star outlines would appear on the Thousand-Year Door once the player breaks its seal with every Crystal Star.
• Instead of the camera zooming towards Mario in the ending cutscene, a snapshot of the scene now shows, which then transitions into an illustration of a page in the storybook seen in the opening cutscene, in which it then closes and the desk lamp the book was next to shuts off.
• The transitions when going through Warp Pipes now depict the paper rotating before traveling into the pipe.
• The residents in Rogueport now show up when the Crystal Stars appear in the town during the final battle.
• Shadow Queen's defeat is very different from the original game, slowly disintegrating instead of exploding.
• Mario now goes first to check Peach after the Shadow Queen is defeated instead of his selected partner.
• Dark Craws now clench their fist, and no longer have splayed fingers for their sprites.
• After dying, the screen fades into the Game Over screen through a silhouette of Mario's face, rather than simply fading to black.
• Crowds now appear in minor league matches in the Glitz Pit.
• The way Doopliss and Mario's transformations are undone is different from the original game.
• When reading Ghost T.'s diary, the scene now has a black-and-white grain filter on it and now fades to black slowly rather than spinning around.
• Black Shy Guys now adjust the stage nozzles during battles.
• When using an attack that has no effect, such as a fire-element attack on Clefts, an icon with that element crossed out now appears over the enemy instead.
• Admiral Bobbery now falls asleep during Luigi's stories like the rest of Mario's partners.
• The environment graphics of the areas in Chapter 4 now have a distinct painted style in contrast to the rest of the areas in the game.
• Mario's 8-bit sprites when he comes out of the shower in X-Naut Fortress sport a slightly different design compared to the original game.
• The Letter "p"'s design is now a coral-colored "p" from the Seurat font, rather than the classic Paper Mario series typeface.
• The Peekaboo badge has a slightly different design, with yellow lines in its pattern instead of dark green.
• The Gate Handle has a red handle instead of a brown one.
• When Flavio gives Mario the Chuckola Cola, he now pulls out the Skull Gem by mistake before pulling out the cola.
• At the end of boss fights, the winning hit goes into slow-motion and the screen flashes white.
• Super Luigi Volume 5 is now coral-colored instead of yellow in the Japanese version and orange in international regions.
• The Galley Pot is now gold-colored instead of silver.
• Star Pieces no longer have a flashing animation.
• The text in the Wrestling Magazine has been replaced with a more stylized interpretation resembling text.
• If Mario is wearing the L Emblem and/or the W Emblem when Doopliss copies him, the copy of Mario will reflect his appearance. The dialogue of the Twilight Town residents will also change to accompany this.

Cutscenes

• In Princess Peach's post-Chapter 3 intermission, the conversation between a disguised Peach and Sir Grodus's now plays out as a cutscene, when in the original game Peach had to walk up to talk to Grodus.
• In the beginning cutscene of Chapter 5, when the S.S. Flavion is surrounded by Embers, the Embers now attack the ship by pushing it, causing Four-Eyes and Admiral Bobbery to be thrown overboard, followed by the ship being turned over on its side. In the original game, Four-Eyes abandons ship, and the S.S. Flavion eventually sinks.
• In all regions, the bad ending shown when Mario accepts the Shadow Queen's offer reflects the Japanese version of the original game. Mario takes on the appearance of Doopliss's copy (retaining the Emblems he has equipped), rather than simply having an angry expression. Additionally, the music fades out, and the ending text in this scene now takes up the whole screen, rather than being confined to a text box.

Audio changes

• The game's music has been rearranged with new instrumentation and in a similar style to later entries in the Paper Mario series. Furthermore, several songs are extended with new melodies. The original soundtrack can be played via equipping the aforementioned Nostalgic Tunes badge.
  • Several areas have dynamically changing songs. Each level of Rogueport Underground now has its own music, as does the X-Naut Fortress.
  • Similar to Paper Mario: Color Splash and Paper Mario: The Origami King, the main battle theme changes to different arrangements specific to each area. Also like in the final areas of both games, the field theme continues playing during battles in the Palace of Shadow.
  • Similar to Paper Mario: Color Splash and Paper Mario: The Origami King, each battle theme has its own unique victory theme to go along with it. However, the unique version of the victory theme that plays when Mario's current partner has run out of HP has been removed, and does not play even with the Nostalgic Tunes badge.
  • Like the first Paper Mario, as well as all games since Paper Mario: Sticker Star, each battle theme's intro changes depending on whether the player or the enemy gets the first strike.
  • Like in Paper Mario: The Origami King, each battle theme changes to a quieter "thinking" variant if no action is made for some time.
  • The regular battle theme begins with an arrangement of the Ground Theme motif from Super Mario Bros..
  • Bowser's theme in this game now incorporates parts of "Bowser's Castle" from Paper Mario: The Origami King.
  • The track that plays in the room where the Thousand-Year Door dwells now has variations in which different instruments join each time a Crystal Star has been collected, similar to the world map in Paper Mario: Color Splash and Toad Town in Paper Mario: The Origami King.
  • When Peach waltzes with TEC, there are now various different versions of the music that can play. If Peach messes up her steps and performs worse, the music will become off-key.
• New music tracks have been added.
  • When Parakarry delivers the Magical Map to the Mario Bros.' House and when talking to Lady Bow in the post-game, an arrangement of the title theme from the first game can be heard.
  • As Luigi reads Princess Peach's letter at the beginning of the game, an arrangement of "Inside the Castle Walls" from Super Mario 64 plays.
  • Every partner, as well as Goldbob and Flavio, now has their own theme that plays when they are being focused upon.
  • New battle themes have been given to several of the game's bosses, with certain bosses that originally shared boss themes, such as Magnus von Grapple 2.0, Gloomtail and Bonetail, receiving new renditions of their original themes and Atomic Boo receiving its own unique theme.
  • The Peach intermissions have more unique music, such as a "stealth" theme when she is sneaking around in the Chapter 3 and Chapter 5 intermissions, and a "tense" theme in Chapter 6.
  • The standard music of the locations in Rogueport has been replaced with new tracks when they appear during the ending montage with Goombella.
  • The credits theme has been replaced with an entirely new one incorporating leitmotifs from various tracks throughout the game.
  • When reading Ghost T.'s diary, a new horror track plays alongside it.
  • When levelling up, there's a new jingle every 10 levels corresponding to Mario's Rank improving.
  • Music now plays when Mario and his partner lose to the Iron Clefts in the Glitz Pit.
  • The terminals in the Glitz Pit that resemble the Game Boy Advance now make the sound of an actual GBA turning on when activated.
  • A new track now plays when exploring the back entrance and underground portions of Riverside Station. In the original game, the Riverside Station theme plays in the former and no music plays in the latter.
• Characters are given unique talking sounds during dialogue, similar to the Mario & Luigi series and the Paper Mario series from Sticker Star onward. Luigi and Princess Peach, for example, have talking sounds similar to their voices. Likewise, NPCs of other species use vocal effects from other games in which they appear, such as Koops and other Koopa Troopas have talking sounds identical to Koopa Troopa vocal effects. The Thwomp from Shhwonk Fortress and Bob-omb NPCs' vocal effects are taken from those in Super Mario 64, and Boo NPCs' vocal effects are taken from those in New Super Mario Bros.
• When Mario stands on top of the plane panel, a sound effect reminiscent of Magic Circles from Paper Mario: The Origami King can be heard.
• There is a sound effect when Mario uses Paper Mode between two walls.
• The sound effect when enemies are defeated is reminiscent of the one heard in Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Paper Mario: Color Splash.
• When the Boos escape the box in the Creepy Steeple, they can be heard laughing.
• Mario now whistles in his sleep.
• Mario takes 3 times the time to fall asleep when idle.
• The healing sound effect is the same as the one from Paper Mario: Sticker Star onwards.
• The sounds the coins make when collected are now the same sound from Super Mario 3D Land, just like in Paper Mario: The Origami King.
• The spiked damage sound effect is the same as the one from Paper Mario: The Origami King.
• The Family Computer Disk System startup jingle is now reused from the original console, rather than remixed like the original game.
• Lord Crump's theme now plays when Lord Crump is talked to during the post-Chapter 5 Bowser segment. In the original game, this theme only plays during two cutscenes in Chapter 2.
• Princess Peach's scream when being possessed by the Shadow Queen is audible.
• The eerie howling sound that periodically plays in Creepy Steeple is no longer present.
• Atomic Boo uses King Boo's voice samples for its sound effects.
• Mario makes no vocal sounds while he is a shadow during Chapter 4.
• When Peach is undressed during the Chapter 5 intermission, the sound of bare feet on tile can be heard as she walks. In the original game, a quieter shuffling sound effect was used instead.

Miscellaneous

• Save files can no longer be named, much like entries from Paper Mario: Sticker Star onward.
• On the file select screen, the player now uses to copy files and to erase them. File 1 and 4's colors have also been swapped, with 1 being blue and 4 being yellow.
• Save files now depict Mario (including his alternate colors) and his current partner on the right of them and the date and time the game was last saved below it.
  • Completing the game results in a medal appearing on the top left of the save file.
• Only Mario is present on the title screen when the game is started for the first time; Mario's partners will each be added to the title screen when they join him, including Vivian, Admiral Bobbery, and Ms. Mowz, who were not present in the title screen of the original game. The characters and the hills on the background also now animate.
  • After Goombella joins the team, the curtains open earlier on the title screen.
  • Peach, Bowser, and Kammy Koopa appear on the title screen after clearing their segments in Chapter 1.
  • Completing the game now results in confetti getting launched on the title screen.
  • Additionally, getting 100% on a save file now results in Luigi appearing on the far left of the title screen.
• Like in Paper Mario: The Origami King, any button can be used to start the game, whereas in the original, only was used.
• A settings page is available in the menu list, allowing the ability to adjust the rumble and brightness settings and exit to the title screen.
• The credits have been overhauled to now be modeled after a curtain call of a stage play, with the carousel of character silhouettes being replaced with the characters walking on the battle stage alongside various skits that occur during it. The credits now end with a wide group shot of the major characters and the audience.
  • Parakarry is the first character in the credits rather than Luigi, who is an audience member instead.
• Copyright information is not present at the end of credits.
• The game's European and Japanese age ratings have been raised to PEGI 7 and CERO B, up from PEGI 3 and CERO A of the original game, respectively.

Promotion

The battle stage diorama from the European My Nintendo Store

By pre-ordering the game through the My Nintendo Store in Europe, customers would receive Mario, Goombella, and Mini-Yoshi keychains. A bundle containing the game and a buildable diorama of the battle stage including several enemies and characters from the game was also made available on the store.

In Australia, an A5 magnet sheet and a set of foldable Mario paper planes were included as pre-order bonuses for the game from EB Games and JB Hi-Fi, respectively.

In GameStop Canada, a slipcover for the Nintendo Switch case depicting the original GameCube cover is included as a pre-order bonus.

Prior to the game's release, Nintendo of Europe e-mailed a survey about the role-playing games of the Super Mario franchise to a select number of newsletter subscribers. The survey asks participants to state their opinions on topics such as the gameplay and characters of the Paper Mario series, the Mario & Luigi series, and Super Mario RPG. A different survey was temporarily released by Nintendo of America via the Qualtrics website, which asked participants about their general gaming experience as well as featuring questions specifically on the subject of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Nintendo Switch.

Descriptions

North American Nintendo eShop

Join Mario on an epic paper-adventure to collect the Crystal Stars before the X-Nauts do!

The nefarious X-Nauts are after the treasure behind the Thousand-Year Door! With a map from Princess Peach, and the help of a few locals, Mario journeys through a colorful world made of paper to find them first. To prevail in this quest, you’ll have to level up Mario and his friends, master timing-based attacks and badges to impress the audience on the stage of combat, and make use of all the abilities that come with being cursed—er, conveniently made of paper—like folding into a plane to cross big gaps or turning sideways to slip through narrow openings.

Leaf through a storybook world with charming characters in every fold

Surprises abound in this deep and engaging tale, where everyone’s got something to say and it’s often not what you’d expect. Mario will meet all kinds of interesting folks on his journey, like the upbeat and studious Goombella and the shy but determined Koops. Some of these characters will need your help with their own quests, or even join your party. Others, like Peach and Bowser, have stories of their own that you’ll play between Mario’s chapters!

A classic turns the page, bringing fresh visuals and updated features

Twenty years after the original game on the Nintendo GameCube™ system, this version for the Nintendo Switch™ system has revamped graphics, and a suite of additional changes that make the game easier than ever to enjoy.

Pre-release and unused content

Various badges that also went unused in the original game have graphics in this game, complete with a few having names. These include Mega Jump, Mega Quake, Mega Smash, Triple Dip, Triple Dip P, Lucky Day P, Pity Flower P, and unused alternate designs for Damage Dodge and Damage Dodge P.
