PAPER MARIO N64 Game Review Mario finds himself having to rescue Princess Peach once again from the clutches of his arch-nemesis Bowser, but this time as the party leader in a bubble-gum role-playing game. Paper Mario is a storybook come to life, as if one of those Mario sticker books you can buy at the Dollar Store has magically animated itself in the middle of the night.

RPG LAND Game Review: Paper Mario When Mario performs a spindash to cover ground quickly, this whooshing sound effect is made, that is probably supposed to be the sound of paper blowing in the wind, but it really doesn't sound anything like that, and a couple of other effects don't really seem to match with the action either. Mario's symptoms of insanity finally began to show when he brought a bomb into the desert, thinking it was his canteen.

Paper Mario Review for Nintendo 64 - Gaming Age Not only is Paper Mario better than its predecessor, but it's easily the best RPG on the N64 (not that there's much competition). Paper Mario has a very high resolution look to it without any of the "muddy" graphics found in so many other games for the N64. Let's face it; the Mario games are notorious for their lame copycat stories that have had no real innovation in the last 20 years. www.gaming-age.com /cgi-bin/reviews/review.pl?sys=n64&game=papermario   (1688 words)

IGN: Paper Mario Review Paper Mario is probably best described as an RPG platformer, as there are elements of both genres wrapped together to make up the title. Mario and his party of characters take turns fighting off foes via a menu-driven interface, utilizing standard moves such as jumps (on the heads of enemies), as well as magical fire-balls, bomb explosions, lightning bolts, and so on. Mario can continue to jump on the head of his foe until the character is defeated, but the procedure requires calculated timing on the part of the player. ign64.ign.com /articles/150/150453p1.html   (1879 words)

Paper Mario for Nintendo 64 Review - Nintendo 64 Paper Mario Review Paper Mario is the follow-up to Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars for the SNES. Not only is Paper Mario a tender bit of nostalgia to anyone who misses the good old days, but it is also a shining example of what Nintendo does best. Mario will eventually gain several special attacks, but with the exception of the powers endowed to him by rescued star spirits, the attacks will always be a modification of his jump or hammer attack. www.gamespot.com /n64/rpg/papermario/review.html   (679 words)

Amazon.com: Paper Mario: Computer & Video Games   (Site not responding.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Review for GameCube - Pro-G Mario can flatten himself to the thickness of paper, roll himself up into a tube, and even transform into a paper aeroplane and a paper boat; it's also possible to blow away sections of scenery, unfurl staircases and slip through the narrowest of gaps, as the situation requires. The paper motif is by no means consistent - for instance, it's still possible to be hurt by large spikes even though it should technically be possible to slip between them, and despite his two-dimensional nature, Mario's still pretty handy with that hammer - but it's charming, and it's funny, and it works. Paper Mario 2, while fundamentally similar to its predecessor, comprehensively outdoes the original in every way, with a better storyline, a surprisingly sophisticated battle system and some superbly detailed characterisation, as well as a defiantly loopy sense of fun. www.pro-g.co.uk /gamecube/paper_mario_2/review.html   (1501 words)

The Armchair Empire - Classic Gaming: Paper Mario The N64 brought Mario into a completely 3D world and it seems appropriate that in the waning days of the N64 he go out in 2D style.
