Customer Ratings & Reviews

Paper Mario is my favorite type of Mario game. There is alot to explore in the game. The improvements in gameplay and graphics is outstanding, It was like playing it for the first time! I played this game when I was a kid on the GameCube, and now replaying it brought so many great memories back! You will not regret purchasing this game! I highly recommend it to anyone!

I don't play a lot on the Switch, but this game alone justifes me having one. Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door (TTYD) is a wonderful game with a big story, tons of unique locations, extremely charismatic characters and unique take on turn based combat. I personally don't really care for turn based games, but Paper Mario TTYD has a special sauce to it that makes it really fun. From the semi open world exploration, to the unique abilities, this game encourages exploration as well experimentation. Whether you're a younger player looking for a different Mario game, or a more experienced player just looking for something different. This faithful remaster of a GameCube classic is a no brainer purchase for any Switch owner.

This is a MOSTLY faithful remake of the 2004 Nintendo Gamecube title that many fans of the Paper Mario franchise have held beloved. If you were around 20 years ago to play this title, you will enjoy this one. Changes include quality-of-life improvements that greatly reduce the amount of backtracking the original required, new sprites and animations (including being able to swing Mario's hammer facing north and south) and a remixed soundtrack (along with the option to use the original if you are a purist). The game has also had some changes to its writing although minor and due to all the graphical improvements this game is locked to a steady 30 FPS (if that bothers you or not is purely up to the player). Additional superbosses have been added for those who want an extra challenge. Players new to this game will find this title very charming and may be wrapped up in its lengthy story following 8 chapters. The battle system is very similar to the original Paper Mario (released in 2001 and is playable on the Wii Virtual Console and Nintendo Switch N64 Expansion Pass) with the addition of battle modifiers such as action commands and "Stylish" manuevers to quickly increase your Special Power meter. I think this title greatly holds up 2 decades since its original release. Definitely recommend.

I missed out on Paper Mario TTYD during the GameCube era, so I can't say of it got better or worse. What I can say, this is good old-fashined Paper Mario, a direct sequel to Paper Mario on N64, none of the usless bells and whistles or other BS seen in later games. The story is fun, combat is solid, characters are memorable. This is an excellent game for all ages.

This is easily the best Mario RPG ever made. The writing is as good (if not better) than any of its predecessors. The gameplay is fun. The paper mechanics do not feel overbearing like Sticker Star or Color Splash. This is a beautiful remake! The 30 fps does not affect the game play whatsoever. I hope future Paper Mario games go back to this kind of format.

The graphics are greatly improved from the originally game. The battle system was fun and entertaining for an Mario fan. The only downside was that the load times between scenes took a while to load and the dialogue took forever to go through and no way to make it go faster.

If you didn’t get to play the original on gamecube, get this one. It’s highly polished, adds some minor tweaks. Visuals are great, but it is only 30FPS

Paper Mario holy spagrolli. This is supposed to be a good one I’ve suffered through sticker star though so I should have a good time

This game has goofy dialogue, a cool story, and great mechanics. I had this on GameCube as a kid, but my sister put BBQ sauce in my system, preventing me from even completing the first chapter. So here I am 20 years later enjoying it even better than I could have back then.

Excellent game! Super fun for anyone who enjoys Mario turn based RPG’s. Funny story also. Great port from the GameCube era.

TTYD is my favourite gamecube game and after decades of less than stellar attempts at capturing the magic again with the sequels it seems Nintendo finally realized the solution: remake it. The game is all prettied up from the GCN version. The music is so nice and even lets you listen to the classic soundtrack if you want, and it got some nice quality of life updates. Travel between areas is much quicker now with some new shortcuts, your coin maximum is significantly higher now (9999 vs 999), there's a nice bonus of extra coins when you beat a boss. There's even some new secret bosses that really push your skill with the action commands and learning how to build your power with badge choices. If you never got to play TTYD on gamecube or just want a nostalgic run this is a fantastic remake and very much worth it. Hopefully it inspires Nintendo to bring back the classic formula instead of reinventing the wheel each time. Now, Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass when?

The definitive way to play one of the best Mario RPGs if not one of the best Mario games ever made. With a strong visual presentation despite running at 30fps. Accessible but challenging combat, Strong characters and story. This is a must for anyone who has any interest in Mario.

One of the greatest games every made with awesome quality of life and graphic improvements. Highly recommend

Very fun game. Paper mario classic. Beautiful art with very fun and relaxed gameplay.

There are some minor things on this remake i somewhat dislike but still happy with the game

game saved my marriage. I was in the brink of divorce and homelessness until I seen this masterpiece, 13:56 is when I realised I was the reason I was ruining my relationship with my wife. At 27:31 I went out for a walk to think about my life and my choices in this beautiful world. While I was walking home playing this, I decided to stop by the shop to get my wife her favourite flowers, tulips at 45:09. And finally at 58:42 I finally came back home, gave my wife the flowers that I got her and promised her that I will change things for the best. This game reminded me how simple things used to be. Even though I’m an homeless alcoholic that lives of eating dirt and drinking rain water I only need this game to survive. Thank you for everything. You are truly one of the best video games of all time.

This is the game to get you into RPGs especially if you don't play them. Its a nice mix of reactive gameplave and a fun and engaging overworld that keeps your attention and adds a lot of flair. Additionally its got a really good, funny yet heartfelt story. Do yourself a favor and give it a go

I love this game. It was shipped on time, a little early even.

Great game love the graphics very colourful. Very easy going and funny dialogue.

Awesome game good graphics and gameplay highly recommend
