Obviously, Mario is not the only one who wants to get his hands on the Star Gems, and Bowser will be just one of the formidable rivals standing in his way! Will our hero be able to find the Star Gems, open the mysterious Millennium Door, and perhaps also save the world?
A paper world full of surprises
To get your hands on the Star Gems, you'll need to venture outside of Port-Lacanaïe and explore the world! All kinds of adventures await you, such as a confrontation with an enormous dragon hidden in a disturbing castle, the exploration of a cursed city plunged into darkness, or even a thrilling investigation to be carried out aboard a train!
In this paper world, Mario will bend over backwards to overcome all obstacles! He can transform into a paper plane to fly over precipices, become spindly to slip into narrow spaces, and much more!
Partners with special talents
