Paper Mario, known as Super Mario RPG 2: Mario Story in Japan, is a video game for the Nintendo 64 released in 2001. It has been confirmed to appear on the Wii's Virtual Console.

In this game, King Bowser steals the Star Rod from Star Haven and imprisons the seven Star Spirits. He plans to use it to get all his selfish wishes, while everyone else's wishes go ungranted, as well as using the Star Rod to destroy Mario and kidnap Princess Peach, he uses his Castle to uproot Peach's Castle into the stratosphere, only now, Peach's Castle is teetering on top of Bowser's. So now, it's up to Mario and his party members to set free the Star Spirits, defeat King Bowser, rescue Princess Peach, and take back the Star Rod.

Storyline

For a detailed storyline of the events of Paper Mario (from the Prologue to Chapter 8), see Paper Mario (Chapters).

Battle System

Paper Mario introduced a new battle system. Mario and one partner of their choice fight against the enemies. Mario has HP and BP, while all characters share FP. FP is used for special moves, HP is Mario's life force and BP affects the types of Badges Mario can wear.

Each attack has its own "Action Command", which increases the damage if performed correctly. For example, for "Jump", the player must press A just as Mario is about to hit the enemy, and for Hammer, He must hold left and release at the right time. Mario can also decrease enemy damage by 1 by pressing A just as they hit him.

When Mario levels up, the player can choose to increase HP by 5, FP by 5 or BP by 3. The best idea is to upgrade BP with the occasional HP/FP boost until his BP is at maximum (30), then upgrade HP and FP.

When Mario and his team rescue a Star Spirit, they could summon them to use their powers against an enemy or two. Star Spirit Powers can be used if there is plenty of Star Energy. If Star Energy is used up Mario can use focus to regain Star Energy. Star Energy can also fill up as a battle progresses.
