You also have a wide range of helping tools and weapons to overcome the challenges in front of you.

However, matters are complicated somewhat by Mario’s ability to flip the world into 3D and examine it from a different angle. No longer are battles turn-based affairs instead, you’ll have to bop enemies on the head in real-time to defeat them. Those of you who expected the same type of gameplay as appeared in the previous iterations of Paper Mario, though, are going to be a bit surprised, as Super Paper Mario features gameplay more aligned with that of the old 2D Mario games like Super Mario Bros. The series continued with Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on the Gamecube, and is now again brought forward on a new console, as Super Paper Mario has arrived for the Wii.

With the advent of the Nintendo 64, though, the Mario RPG series was rechristened as Paper Mario, which featured Mario and his cohorts as flat, 2D entities inhabiting a world with more 3D elements than the previous generation of consoles allowed.

There have been various Mario RPGs on Nintendo systems since the original Super Mario RPG appeared on the SNES way back in 1996.
