Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 game is a masterpiece through and through. Simple but tight combat, charming story and characters. It’s hard to find things not love about TTYD especially with all the quality of life and graphics improvements in this remake.

Easily the best paper Mario game ever. Great story line.

This game has taken what was already an amazing, well thought out, fun and enjoyable experience and enhanced on it. The music has a touch of nostalgia to it, the battles flow a lot slower but in the best possible way, and theres some overall quality of life changes that make traversing the worlds and finding items so much more fun. This is absolutely worth $60 no questions asked.

This game has held up so well in its gameplay and writing. The best story of any Mario RPG, characters and badges offer plenty of options for customizing your way of battling, and the new graphics really elevate the art. Small tweaks to the game here and there show that the team that worked on this remake really cared. I surprisingly could not feel a difference in combat between the remake's 30 fps and the original's 60 fps, so they definitely did their work to make sure combat still felt the same (though they definitely made guarding easier).

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

Played the original to death back on the GameCube so seeing this fully remade with HD graphics and an updated art style was literally a childhood dream of mine come true. It’s a near perfect remake with its main issue being quite slow text speed if you’re a fast reader but the gameplay more than makes up for it. I cannot recommend it enough!

Giving this game a 5 because it's still a fantastic game and the new coat of paint is done wonderfully. Just wish it still ran at 60fps like the GameCube version instead of 30. Hoping for a switch 2 update.

Looks amazing visually, remixed soundtrack is incredible, and has fantastic world building, amusing writing, really fun combat and some of the most memorable supporting characters in a Mario RPG. Lower framerate compared to the original game takes a moment to adjust to for super-fans of the original but nowhere near a deal-breaker for me. Highly recommended to any Mario fan or anyone looking for a fun RPG with a sense of humor and a lot of heart.

For those thinking this is just an updcaled outer polish of arguably the greatest Paper Mario ever made on the GameCube...you would only be half right. Nintendo has truly outdone themselves and taken something that was near perfect and improving in very small ways that fans will appreciate. I won't spoil anything but they definitely added a ton of new content and it's 100% worth a buy even if you've played and beaten the GameCube version. I love the graphics, the music changes, and the gameplay elements that have been upgraded for the modern era. Dont pass this amazing game up

I’m absolutely "blown away" by this remake! Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a total masterpiece that really "folds" in the perfect mix of humor, strategy, and charm. The visuals are crisp, and the gameplay is so smooth it feels like it was "pressed" to perfection. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the series, this game is a "staple" for any Switch library. It’s definitely not just another "flat" RPG—it’s got layers of fun that will keep you hooked for hours. Don’t "crease" under the pressure, just go out and grab this game; it’s a "tear-iffic" adventure!

This game is probably one of the best and most engaging game ever. I decided to buy it when it was on sale. No regrets on playing over 40 hours and finishing the game in 3 days. I highly recommend this game to everyone and is for all ages.

This is an excellent remake of the Gamecube RPG Classic! Worth the price tag and then some! If you're a fan of the Paper Mario Series and loved TTYD, this remake is a no-brainer!

I missed this one back on the GameCube. Glad to get another chance to go through it on a modern system. The remaster looks and plays great! Enjoying this much more than Origami King, and I actually like that game. I just think the battle system in Thousand Year Door is more streamlined and satisfying—more fun overall. The storyline is light and entertaining. Highly recommend if you’re into Mario and/or whimsical role playing games.

This is one of my favorite games of all time, an enjoyable time for anyone of any age. If you have someone that loves RPGs, Mario, or just great games with a great story, I'd highly reccomend it. And this enhanced reamke of the Nintendo Gamecube original has a lot of improvements that make it look and sound even better than before, and to gameplay that makes it accessible to anyone. Also the staff that gave me the game were polite and had it ready as soon as it was available to release.

Fantastic remake of one of the best games on the GameCube. New music remixes, small additions to character models and script have made this game just as charming as the original game was. Absolutely worth the money in my opinion. Game does run at 30fps which I know is a deal breaker for some people but honestly it hasn't changed much and all the fuss over it hasn't dampened my enjoyment at all.

Original game was fantastic and this remaster makes it even better!

Great gameplay, great story. Havent beaten it yet. Planning to play it again.

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!

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.
