Paper Mario facts for kids
Paper Mario is a fun RPG for the Nintendo 64 console. It first came out in 2000. Later, you could play it on the Wii's Virtual Console in 2007. This was only the second time Mario starred in an RPG game.
Story of Paper Mario
The game starts with a mail Paratroopa delivering a letter to Mario and Luigi at their home. The letter is from Princess Peach. She invites them to a party at her castle.
Mario and Luigi quickly head to the castle. Luigi waits in the lobby. Mario goes upstairs to find Peach. Peach wants to talk to Mario alone. But suddenly, the castle begins to shake and rise into the sky! Mario and Peach are confused. They see stars outside, even though it's daytime.
Then, King Bowser crashes through a window in his Koopa Clown Car. His helper, Kammy Koopa, is with him. Bowser tells them he used the Star Rod to lift the castle into space. He plans to kidnap Peach!
Mario tries to fight Bowser. But this time, Bowser is much stronger. He uses the Star Rod to become "Rainbow Bowser." This makes him super powerful and impossible to beat. Bowser easily defeats Mario. He throws Mario out into space. Koopatrols then take Peach away. Mario falls a very long way back to Earth.
