Paper Mario (series)[edit]
The Paper Mario series was started by Nintendo in 2000, with the release of Super Mario. It is largely based on a paper theme (as the name implies) and an RPG game. All of the games, except for Super Paper Mario, featured a turn-based combat system.[1] Recent games in the series have emphasized the non-RPG elements of the series.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was released in 2004. It was the successor of Paper Mario and was similar in different ways; for example, both Paper Marios had multiple sidekicks to choose from and both had a story-like gameplay. In the game, a player main objective was to collect seven crystal stars[4] before reaching the end and defeating the Shadow Queen.
