Mario made the side-scrolling platformer famous on the Nintendo Entertainment System, and now he tries a brand new genre with Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64. This RPG quest has players control a 2D Mario through a 3D universe. Mario can still bounce into blocks to collect coins and collect mushrooms and flowers for power, but battling enemies is different with a turn-based combat style. Explore the Paper Mario N64 universe as freely as you like while following a text-based, linear story and having a good time, all at the same time. Along the way, Mario makes several allies that help him defeat enemies.
