Now Viewing: paper_mario_rpgTag type: Copyright Also known as Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door in North America. Tag refers to images referencing this specific game. It is the sequel to Paper Mario and was released on the Nintendo Gamecube in 2004. It was directed by Kawade Ryota and produced by Miyamoto_Shigeru and Kitanishi Ryouichi. Artwork is done by Kawabe_Chie. The story was written by Suzuki Hironobu and Fukuda Misao. Music is composed by Hirano Yoshito and Tsujiyoko Yuka. Princess Peach is in a port city outside of the Mushroom Kingdom and acquires a treasure map that fascinates her. She sends a letter to Mario asking him to come over and take a look at the map, but once he gets there Peach is missing. Mario instead rescues Goombella from an ambush by a group of enemies known as the X-Nauts and informs Goombella of the reason he is there. Goombella takes him to meet Professor Frankly who informs Mario that the treasure map provides clues to the locations of the Crystal Stars, which can unlock a thousand year door hidden underneath the town. Mario soon learns that the X-Nauts also want to unlock the door and they are holding Peach in captivity. Mario teams up with Goombella to find the Crystal Stars before the X-Nauts do. It retains the humor of the original game, but the story takes a noticeably darker turn (especially for a Mario game) in the last chapter. The game's battles are presented as a theater complete with an audience watching. The player is encouraged to please the audience as much as possible. For example, tapping A at the right time after Mario jumps on an enemy causes him to do a flashy move that wows the audience and fills up his Star Power Gauge. Conversely, the audience can become belligerent and attack Mario and co, but they can also counter the incoming attacks. The audience plays a key role in a few boss fights as well. As Mario and co. level up, the stages they fight on get more elaborate and occasionally traps can be sprung in the middle of combat. There is also a comedic subplot revolving around Luigi who's going on his own adventures. After the game is beaten, the game is still playable and continues directly after the story's ending allowing Mario and co. to fulfill tasks they didn't get to do during the main story and/or going for one hundred percent completion. The game sold 409,000 copies in Japan and 1.23 million in North America.
