Title: PAPER MARIO
Company: Intelligent Systems
Type of Game: Comic Mischief
System Requirements: Nintendo 64, 1 N64 controller, Rumble Pak compatible

Mario's back in a brand new adventure. It all starts out when the evil Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach again. Only this time he has the all mighty and powerful star rod, which has the ability to grant any, wish. With this on Bowser's side there is no stopping him unless Mario can put an end to his evil and save the princess. While Mario goes along on his treacherous journey he will be able to add members to his party. Such as: Goombario the little Goomba boy, Kooper the turtle, Bombette the bomb, Bow the ghost, and Parakarry the flying messenger turtle. While you travel along you must save the seven star spirits that Bowser captured when he stole the Star Rod. So good luck and may the game bring out the true hero in all of you.

I liked the game because it has good game control and setup. By this I mean it is cool that the characters are 2-D and the background is 3-D. Would I recommend this game? Of course I would because it is simple to play but has some challenging puzzles that you have to figure out. I think that kids in third grade and up would enjoy it. Mario 64 is the next closest game to Paper Mario. (April, 2001)
