The ''Paper Mario series'' is a series of RPG games that feature Mario in a two-dimensional paper-look, hence the name. These paper-like characters, however, are placed in a 3D world. There are three games in the series, each with a very distinct storyline and plot. GAMES #'' Paper Mario '' ( 2001 ) ( Nintendo 64 ) #'''' ( 2004 ) ( Nintendo GameCube ) #'' Super Paper Mario '' ( 2007 ) ( Wii ) PAPER MARIO 64 This is the first game in the series, and arguably the most successful. Bowser, with the assistance of Kammy Koopa, steals the mystical Star Rod, an artifact capable of any and all wishes. Using it he entraps the seven Star Spirits and takes absolute, impenetrable control over Princess Peach's castle. Mario, teaming up with several friends along the way, goes on a quest to free the Star Spirits from Bowser's cronies, retrieve the Star Rod from Bowser, and save the princess. In this title Mario is given unique paper abilities that allow him to overcome obstacles, such as flipping sideways, folding and rolling up. Mario comes across a Magical Map which leads to the whereabouts of the seven Crystal Stars, enchanted gems that are used to open the Thousand-Year Door, which guards a fantastic treasure. However, another party, the X-Nauts, has kidnapped the princess and wishes to open the door first and use the treasure in order to possess the planet. Mario must find the seven Crystal Stars first before the treasure has a chance to be used for evil purposes. SUPER PAPER MARIO This game is considered a departure from the ''Paper Mario'' formula as it is a platforming game with RPG elements, rather than vice-versa. In ''Super Paper Mario'' Mario is given the ability to flip back and forth between the second and third dimensions. The player is also given the ability to play as Peach, Bowser, and Luigi as they become available. Bowser and Peach are forced to marry by the dastardly Count Bleck in order to create a blasphemous object called the Chaos Heart. Count Bleck uses it to open an interdimensional rift that will eventually consume the entire universe. Mario joins up with a Pixl named Tippi in order to gather the Pure Hearts, sacred objects that are able to aid in banishing the Chaos Heart, defeating Count Bleck, and saving existence from obliteration.
