Turn-based RPG where Mario's paper body is the gimmick. You explore towns and dungeons, fight in timed-action battles (hit buttons at the right moment to boost attacks or reduce damage), and solve environmental puzzles by folding, rolling, or turning sideways. The story sends you hunting for Crystal Stars hidden behind the Thousand-Year Door, picking up party members—each with field abilities and combat moves—as you go. Battles happen on a stage with an audience that reacts to your performance. Between chapters you return to a hub town, then head to a new themed area. The paper mechanics mean you'll slip through grates, become a paper airplane, or roll into a tube to reach secrets. Expect readable dialogue and puzzle-dungeons that ask you to think about Mario's flat shape.
