Our take on the Nintendo Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door

A 2024 Switch remake of the 2004 GameCube RPG. Mario explores a paper-craft world, recruits partners, and fights in turn-based battles built around timed button presses and a theater crowd that cheers or boos. The remake adds a remastered soundtrack, quality-of-life fixes and a hint system, while keeping the original's humor and story. It is the most story-driven Paper Mario and a strong pick for players who want a light, funny RPG; later entries like Origami King lean more on puzzles and less on partners and leveling.
