Paper Mario
纸片马里奥
Paper Mario is a role-playing game developed by Nintendo and released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64. Players control Mario, navigating a storybook world to recover stolen Star Spirits. The game combines exploration with turn-based combat featuring timed action commands that reward player input during attacks and defense. Mario travels across multiple chapters, each set in distinct locations like forests, deserts, and mountains. Throughout the adventure, he recruits seven companions, each with unique abilities both in and out of battle. The paper theme extends to gameplay mechanics, where Mario can flip between 2D and 3D perspectives to solve environmental puzzles. Battles involve positioning-based tactics, as characters can be arranged on a 2D plane. The narrative drives progression through character dialogue, humorous writing, and environmental storytelling. Combat rewards skilled execution and timing rather than pure statistics.
