A remake of the second game in the Paper Mario series, originally released for the Nintendo GameCube. Turn the page and join Mario and friends in an RPG adventure to discover the legendary treasure behind the ancient Thousand-Year Door. Will Mario complete his papery quest, or will he crumple under the pressure?
In the seedy port town of Rogueport, Princess Peach comes across a mysterious treasure map rumored to lead to a fabled fortune hidden behind the ancient Thousand-Year Door, sealed within ruins built atop a town that sank into the earth after a long-ago cataclysm. Peach sends the map to Mario and then vanishes, prompting him to travel to Rogueport in search of her. There he learns that the map can reveal the seven Crystal Stars needed to unlock the Thousand-Year Door, and that a sinister organization known as the X-Nauts is also hunting for its power. Gathering new companions along the way, Mario sets off across a series of strange and colorful lands to collect the Crystal Stars, rescue the princess, and uncover the secret that lies behind the legendary door.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a turn-based role-playing game and the second entry in the Paper Mario series, set in a world styled to look like paper. Players guide Mario through themed locations, solving puzzles and battling enemies in a timing-based combat system where well-timed button presses strengthen attacks and defense. Battles play out on a stage before an audience whose reactions can help or hinder the player, and Mario recruits a party of companions with unique skills while equipping badges that grant new abilities. Brief segments also let the player control Princess Peach and Bowser between chapters.
