	Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door opens with a short introduction about a prosperous seaside town that was destroyed by a cataclysm and then sank into the depths of the earth.
		Mario's only hope of finding her is to pursue the Crystal Stars, hoping that he will encounter her along the way.
		Unknown to Mario, Princess Peach has actually been kidnapped by a group known as the X-Nauts, led by Sir Grodus, who had heard that she was in possession of the map, and kidnapped her only to find that the map was gone.

	Paper Mario 2 1UP - Find Articles
		Mario was conceived as a two-dimensional character, after all -- his latter-day 3D incarnations are still the exception, not the rule -- and Paper Mario finally comes around and develops some awareness of this fact.
		Paper Mario 2 doesn't seem to drastically change anything about the concept -- for the most part, it's Paper Mario, only more so -- but given the enthusiastic reception the first game received from a broad cross-section of the market, it seems to be doing most everything right so far.
		The presentation of combat in Paper Mario 2 is weirdly reminiscent of the puppet-theater setting in Dynamite Headdy -- Mario, his partners, and his opponents are all on stage during their battles, and the many denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom can be a pretty tough crowd if they don't like what they see.

		You'll be able to shape yourself into a paper airplane (and then use the analog stick to try to stay aloft for as long as possible), turn sideways to slip through cracks, and roll yourself into a tube to roll down stairs.
		The Bowser sequence we saw was a hilarious parody of the original Super Mario Bros., with Bowser in the role of Mario.
		Mario will be able to use a hammer in and out of battle, which is useful when facing off against tons of foes.

	First Impressions - Paper Mario 2 // GameCube /// Eurogamer
		If Paper Mario 2 could speak, it might tell you that turn-based RPG combat is almost uniformly boring and rubbish.
		Paper Mario refined and built the idea up on the N64, and raised the humour quotient several-fold, before Mario and Luigi: SuperStar Saga on the Game Boy Advance topped the lot.
		It's obviously too early to tell whether Paper Mario 2 will be able to sustain itself over a decent length adventure, but Mario and Luigi certainly did, and this latest adventure has all the hallmarks of that game and more.

	News - Paper Mario 2 looks to be a big draw // GameCube /// Eurogamer
		Known as Mario Story 2 in Japan (where the original N64 Paper Mario was simply Mario Story), the title is underway at Nintendo's first party chums Intelligent Systems, whose experience with the turn-based Advance Wars and Fire Emblem RPG titles will doubtless prove invaluable.
		It also promises to employ turn-based battles with action elements along much the same lines as AlphaDream's GBA title Mario and Luigi, which was itself an extension of the old, 16-bit Super Mario RPG ethos and drew dollops of inspiration from the N64 Paper Mario title.
		Other shots show Mario dodging (or perhaps chatting with) a big Whomp, striding through waist-high tracts of snow and visiting various castles, and there's also a shot of Bowser working his way through a mock-up of Super Mario Bros. world 1-1, which ought to be interesting.

		Paper Mario was certainly one of the quirkiest Mario games to come out in a while, certainly the most unexpected Nintendo release on the N64.
		Paper Mario essentially made a joke of the RPG genre, taking the overly serious nature of most RPG titles and putting in a rather cute Mario spin on it.
		Paper Mario 2 won’t change that much, other than a number of typical sequel changes this is a familiar game and yes, the combat system is very much in tact.

		In Paper Mario 2 players will indeed return to play as a two-dimensional Mario, and this time the developer plans on taking full advantage of the paper medium.
		The original Mario 64 was quite good, for a console game, but Paper Mario was just plain gimmicky, and this one seems to follow in the previous version's footsteps.
		Paper Mario 2...sequel to Paper Mario, not Mario RPG....Mario RPG was on snes, paper mario was on n64.

		While in the original Paper Mario she’d been kidnapped by Bowser and snuck out of her room to roam the castle, this time she’s been captured by Aliens.
		Paper Mario 2 has plenty of humor sprinkled in it, from Mario’s insane reactions to freaky women, to inside jokes about Luigi (who this time is on his OWN adventure...a very long storied one...that Mario always falls asleep during).

	NTSC-uk review > Nintendo GameCube > Paper Mario 2
		As Paper Mario RPG begins Mario receives a letter from Princess Peach, and dutifully sets sail to Hoodlum Town, only to discover Lord Batsugaruf of the Megabaten has kidnapped her.
		The most striking aspect of Paper Mario RPG is the 'picture book' visual style of the first game, given greater justice here on the GameCube.
		Paper is also used as a visual signature throughout - 3D elements become 2D sheets of paper that are folded, flipped-over, torn, turned like pages in a book, and so on.

		Mario is joined in battle by whichever of his companions he was with when the battle began, but partners can be swapped out anytime Mario is on the offensive.

		I played the first Paper Mario and I loved it(useless note: I beat the game on the day Dale Earnhart(sp?) died) and this one is even better.
		My only gripe with the game is, back when I first started reading about Paper Mario, every source was calling it "the sequel to Super Mario RPG!" Since SMRPG is my favorite game of all time, I nearly shit my pants in anticipation.
		PM2 may not have voiceovers for the dialogue, but the script is written so well that voiceovers wouldn't do the game justice.

		Paper Mario has none of this, and keeps things nice and easy, and ultimately more approachable and fun then the more in-depth RPG's that are available today.

		I may be mis-remembering how long it took me to finish the original Paper Mario for the N64; it may have been more like 40 or 50 hours; still, compared to some of the more elaborate platformers, it was a relatively short game.
		Paper Mario 2 utilizes a standard RPG model for gameplay; the party journeys through an overworld, dropping into combat when an enemy is encountered.
		Mario and one of his sidekicks appear onscreen at all times, and only one sidekick may accompany him in battle (though they may be swapped out at will).

		If you missed the original Paper Mario years ago on Nintendo 64, imagine the recent GBA adventure Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga—RPG elements, a lighthearted story, minigames—and photocopy it.
		And this time, Mario is taking full advantage of his two dimensions: He can fold himself into an airplane to fly, roll up into a tube and bounce to out-of-reach areas, or turn sideways and slide through tight passages.
		The twist for the sequel is audience participation—if Mario impresses the crowd watching him fight, he gains power for stronger attacks.
