Perfect remake. Loved the original on GameCube and love this remake as well. The game itself is gorgeous with wonderful "Quality of Life" changes to make the game even better then the original.

Great remake. Frame rate is disappointing by comparison to the original but it does not detract much from the experience. Had you never played the original you would be none the wiser. Must play.

Really really loved this game except some fights are definitely very challenging. But the game has some great jokes in it too

Great game!! Totally recomend it if you are new into paper mario OR if you played the original you will love this remake due to being a good old game with udpated graphics.

One of my favorite games from my childhood remade into near perfection. They added a lot to this remake. The new music is probably my favorite addition by far. Highly recommended.

Amazing. Just as good as it was back then. Graphically outstanding and well written. Hope we get remakes for Super and the Original

An amazing return to a fantastic game! The nostalgia hit super hard on this one while making it still fresh with improved sounds, music, and graphics. A must play!

Dude this game is a masterpiece. Do yourself a favor and get it, if it ever goes even on a slight sale, you have no excuse...if someone gives it to you, you are an absolute fool if you pass it up. It's got humor, it's got great combat, great environments. It's one of the greatest RPGs of all time for me, not just the best Paper Mario.

Great little game that holds up with the new coat of paint. If you played the GCN version all those years ago, you will still find what made this title one of the best in the Paper Mario series. If you didn't, then you will find just why this game is still held as the golden standard for the Paper Mario titles since.

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.

I think the majority of people would consider this a remaster, but honestly, pretty much every aspect of this game is remade beautifully. As someone who played the original GameCube version and doesn't typically buy remakes, I say give this a shot. Everything that I didn't like about the original, they either got rid of or remade it into something so much better. This remake is literally a dream come true. Worth ever penny.

Another great first title party Nintendo game that's well worth adding to the Switch library. Unlike the typical platformer Mario games though this does play in more of a RPG like genre but no worries as it's just as entertaining. Overall a game many Mario fans are sure to enjoy

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.

Paper mario has been a series that was great for the first 3 games and the other 3 have been experimental some ok some bad. However, now that this remake is out on nintendo switch it shows that they can return back to their RPG roots or maybe find something new by rediscovering the old. Now that they are on a up and with Mario & Luigi brothership coming out in November maybe the RPG roots were best all along.

I love the graphics and the story it's so awesome and challenging I love this game

An excellent remake of an already amazing game! I was able to experience my childhood again, and had a blast the whole way through! It does have some additional content compared to the old game, along with a new english translation. I love the added personality that the partners have now! They have more expressions/reactions and flavor text compared to the old game! If you're considering this game and like straightforward RPG's, buy it. You won't regret it!

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.

Great remake of the original GC game. Love the new music, love the relocalized script (I am a big Vivian fan). Really hoping this spells the return of great Mario RPGs (haven’t played Brothership)

Excellent remake of an excellent game perfect for old fans and players who haven’t experienced the story.

Best buy had a great price on a great game. I originally played this game on the gamecube, and have been dying to get it for the switch. They had a great sale going. I had to pick up a copy. The copy was clean and the cashiers were great.
