Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

Paper Mario
The Thousand Year Door

A Letter From Peach.......

Hello there, Mario!
I am Now on Holiday, Traveling the Mushroom Kingdom.

In my Travels, I came into possesion of a
mystical map.....a treasure map accually.
It was Inside a box I got from an old merchant in
a town beside Rougeport

But Since it would be too difficult for me to try to go find
the treasure all by myself....I thought you could help
me hunt for it!

You will of course, wont you?

I've included the map with this letter, so please bring it
when you come. I'll meet you at Rougeport.

-Peach-

After That.........

........So mario headed for Rougeport, Where he knew
Peach was waiting..........but she knew she was nowhere to be found. Where had she gone?

When Mario Started to Walk Around town to look for her, though, he found himself in the middle of a sticky situation. He ended up Helping a sweet Goomba gal who was in trouble. Her name was Goombella, and She Claimed to be in the midst of a Treasure Hunt.......

When Mario Told her that he had a Treasure Map, Goombella took him to see Professor Frankly, a old Professor who knew much of a local legend.

According to the professor, in order to find, legendary treasure, they would have to first find and collect the Crystal stars. Only then will they be able to open the thousand year door, Behind which the treasure lay

Controls

The controls are same as last year, only this time they take advantage of the "Paper" idea. You can take flight and turn into a plane, or turn sideways and be invisible, and if you don't like that, you can Roll into a tube

Game Structure

All right, time for the REAL part of the Review.
As some of you know, This is a Turn-Based RPG

When an Enemy Come torward you you will go into the "Battle Screen." Once in there, you will have to battle you enemy using attacks. some attacks cost "FP." FP works like this, A normal attack that costs no FP does 3 damage, but a Attack that cost 3 FP does 5 damage. But FP Isn't justmore powerfull attacks, it can be attacks that put your enemies into sleep. all the different kind of attacks make this game sooo interesting. Now onto HP

HP is health. there are various items that restore HP (or FP) thats all there is to it

Partners

Partners are mario's allies in battle. you can only have ally in battle at a time. each ally has there own unique attacks and powers. one can identify an enemy completely. one can blow up! allies have attacks outside of battle too!

Enemies

When an an enemy attacks you outside the battle screen, that does not mean just that enemy will battle you IN the battle screen, instead they come with friends.

Enemies have different locations. you can only battle up to 4 enemies at once. (fix me if i'm wrong) an enemy can be located on the ceiling, on the ground, or in flight. diferent attacks attack different locations

Battle order

Mario's attack -----> Partner's attack -----> Enemy's attack

or

Mario's Attack ----> Enemy's attack


Note: if an enemy doest approach you, BUT attacks you, The order is like this

Enemy -----> Mario -----> Partner
