About Paper Mario

Paper Mario wraps turn-based battles in a paper world, starting with the 2000 original's Star Spirit rescue. The Thousand-Year Door from 2004 is the fan peak with Rogueport partners, and the 2024 Switch remake retells it in HD.

Super Paper Mario from 2007 mixes platforming into the formula, while Sticker Star, Color Splash and Origami King each reboot the battle system around collectibles. Stories stand alone, so release order is the mechanical ramp. Play the remake over the GameCube original today. No new entry is announced.

Good to know

Release order is recommended because each game assumes no prior story but builds on paper mechanics. The 2024 remake replaces the 2004 original in this list's final slot order, though both are listed so owners of either are covered. The Mario and Luigi Paper Jam crossover sits outside this mainline list. No new Paper Mario is announced, but the series rests between entries rather than ended.
