A turn-based RPG set in a paper-craft world, remade for Nintendo Switch from the 2004 GameCube original. Mario collects Crystal Stars, recruits partners like Goombella and Koops, and fights on a theater stage where timed button presses and badges shape each battle. Folding into a plane or slipping sideways through gaps adds light puzzle work between chapters. It is the most story-driven Paper Mario, and this version adds revamped graphics and quality-of-life changes over the original.

Reviewers rate it very highly, praising the writing, characters and timing-based battles. Complaints center on backtracking and a slow middle stretch.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is an adventure game for Nintendo Switch. Mario travels across a world made entirely of paper to uncover the mystery of the Thousand-Year Door. He follows a map from Princess Peach and races to collect the Crystal Stars before the X-Nauts can get to them.
Battles are a theatrical take on turn-based RPG combat. Players use timing-based attacks and badges, and can swap partners and badges to change their approach. Some characters, such as Goombella and Koops, join the party, and others have quests of their own.
Being made of paper also helps outside of combat. Mario can fold himself into a plane to glide across big gaps or turn sideways to slip through narrow openings. Between Mario's chapters, interludes let players play out the stories of characters including Peach and Bowser.
