Paper Mario - Part 5 - Shells for the Taking
It is time to head out to our first destination when it comes to saving the Star Spirits. The first one is located east of Toad Town in a place called Koopa Bros. Fortress. The Koopa Bros. are loyal minions to Bowser and won't be easy to reach. It seems we need to find the help of a blue shelled Koopa in the nearby Koopa Village. But there seems to be a rather interesting uproar going on in that Koopa Village...
Paper Mario is a Mario RPG game that began as a sequel to Super Mario RPG, but later changes in development resulted in the game becoming a standalone game that would even grow out to become its own sub-series within the Mario franchise. The game received critical acclaim, and was praised for its story, characters, and unique gameplay which combines RPG elements with action-adventure and classical Mario platforming action. But the game stood out the most because of its visuals. With an entire world and all of its inhabitants made out of paper, the game is a lust for the eye and almost feels like you're literally playing through a storybook. In the game Mario tries to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser, who has imprisoned the seven "Star Spirits", lifted her castle into the sky and has defeated Mario after stealing the Star Rod from Star Haven and making himself invincible. Mario must then try to save the Star Spirits so they can help him negate the effects of the Star Rod and save the Mushroom Kingdom once again. In this game it is all paper, but it is also still Mario!
