Time passes, the pages turn...and a new chapter unfolds in an unfamiliar land! Get ready for a two-dimensional role-playing adventure for the ages, as MarioTM returns to paper form in pursuit of a threat unlike any he's ever faced.
Peach is enjoying a vacation with her loyal servant, Toadsworth, when a mysterious creature captures her. The one clue is a treasure map she had sent to Mario earlier. When our hero hears news of her capture, he follows the map's clues to the Star Crystals, strange artifacts of unknown power. Complicating the matter are three veiled figures plotting the return of the great shadow witch, an army of strange new enemies and one angry Bowser, who embarks on an adventure of his own to find out who's cutting into his villain business.

- Take to the stage! Paper Mario 2 builds on the action-packed battle system of the original RPG with the addition of audience participation. Not only will timing Action Commands help you dodge or inflict damage, but impressing the crowd will help you build power for super attacks! Try not to disappoint the audience, though, or you'll pay!
- Don't fold under pressure! This time, Mario will have to make full use of his papery qualities to survive. Fold into a paper airplane and take to the air, turn sideways to slip through narrow passages and roll into a tube to bounce to safety.
- No need to go it alone! Many strange friends will join your party, and you'll have to rely on their skills to survive. Even former enemies may bail you out, so keep an open mind!

The first Paper Mario already exceeded all expectations and was one of the greatest video games ever made, but its sequel for the GCN was even better, if that's possible!
The GameCube version has a sleeker feel to it and better graphics (duh, right?). The thing that really holds fans' attention is the fact that it stays true to the Paper Mario plot. This game has the same basic feel as the first N64 titles, with just as memorable characters, good and evil. The RPG layout is absolutely perfect, and there is comedy and fun every step of the way.
If you're looking for a new game to try out, this is possibly the best title ever made, and let's you continue playing for 100% (filling cookbook, tattle log, etc.) even after you beat the final boss. It's a must have, and this one and its predecessor are definitely more grounded than the newer Wii title, Super Paper Mario. Don't base your idea of the PM franchise off from the Wii game... It doesn't live up to the original two!

The Wii game was great fun, especially for retro fans, but the Thousand Year Door remains true to the series and was my first RPG-style Mario game. I later started Paper Mario on the N64 after I reached the Palace of the Shadow on PM:TTYD - I later finished PM:TTYD after I beat Bowser on Paper Mario 64.

This was a fun game, but it took itself way too seriously. Came off as cornball to me. Mario can't do drama.
