Unlike the previous installments in the series, Super Paper Mario abandons turn-based battles for quick-paced platforming combat. These two characters start to relate more to the main cast as chapters are completed and details are revealed. It’s the usual “collect X number of magic artifacts in order to beat final boss” setup, but with a surprisingly deep, complex storyline beneath the surface, primarily focusing on recurring segments of text-only story that narrate a young couple of star-crossed lovers. Mario is tasked with venturing to the holding places of each piece of the Purity Heart, defeating the enemies that Count Bleck or other malicious forces have sent to slow his progress, and obtaining the Pure Hearts from whomever was tasked with guarding them up to this point. According to legend, the Purity Heart, another magic item created by the Tribe of Ancients to protect the multiverse from the Chaos Heart, could be reassembled if its eight pieces are gathered from where they were hidden over 1,000 years ago. The creation of the Chaos Heart was foretold in the Dark Prognosticus, a book of prophecies named for its tendency to make anyone who reads it go insane from learning all of the terrible happenings the future brings. Right off the bat, our game-specific bad guy is fully embodying the “go big or go home” mentality. Not the end of the world, all of existence.
In fact, he’s been kidnapped too! The evil Count Bleck is planning to use the marriage of a pure-hearted princess and an evil king to create the Chaos Heart, a mystic relic that is fabled to bring about the destruction of all life.
Also, as per usual, the princess has been kidnapped by some sinister evil, but this time, it isn’t Bowser. Once again, you play as Mario in all of his flat, cartoony goodness. I’d like to, in the future, talk about the first two games for the N64 and GameCube respectively, but today we’re going to explore the world of Super Paper Mario, a Wii title and the third installment in a cult hit series. Often considered the spiritual successor to Super Mario RPG for the SNES, this offshoot franchise has spawned several creative and personality-packed titles.
