Paper Mario - Part 55 - A Star Powered Showdown
3This is it! The final battle of the first Paper Mario game. This is the epic moment the story has been building to. The ultimate confrontation between the powered up Bowser and 'his' Star Rod against Mario and the Star Spirits. But Mario might expect some extra help during this epic fight. That way there is no way our hero will lose, right? Time to finally throw Bowser out of the sky!
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!
