Mario may be two-dimensional but this adventure is anything but thin! Paper Mario brilliantly blends the hero's platform antics with a hilarious role-playing quest full of offbeat characters and wacky challenges.
Embark on an epic journey through the Mushroom Kingdom to release the Star Spirits imprisoned by a power-hungry Bowser.
Along the way you’ll fight enemies in entertaining turn-based battles, team up with a variety of uniquely skilled partners, discover secret minigames, and even bake a cake!
This game on Wii U Virtual Console is the European version of the game, which was optimised originally by the developer to offer gameplay and music speed similar to the US version. Demos and animations may run at PAL speed. The aspect ratio has been corrected for this release.
