Paper Mario (series): Difference between revisions

|[[Mario]] is the main hero of the series. He is often saving [[Princess Peach]] from the evil clutches of [[Bowser]] using his trademark [[Jump]] and [[Hammer]], but is given the task to save her from other villains in the series, such as [[Grodus]] and [[Count Bleck]].  

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', he is invited to a party by Princess Peach with [[Luigi]] but Bowser crashes the party, steals the entire castle using his own to bring both into the sky, and uses the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] to beat Mario. The famous hero survives, and then has to recover the seven [[Star Spirits]] to gain access to [[Star Haven]] and [[Peach's Castle]] as well as being able to cancel the power of the Star Rod. Mario finally beats Bowser, retrieves the Star Spirits and Star Rod with the help of his partners ([[Goombario]], [[Kooper]], [[Bombette]], [[Parakarry]], [[Lady Bow]], [[Watt]], [[Sushie]] and [[Lakilester]]), and, as wishes in the world can be granted again by the stars, Mario celebrates along with the kingdom's peoples.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Mario receives a letter from Peach telling she's found a treasure map at [[Rogueport]] and asking Mario to meet the princess at said town. But as the hero arrives, he doesn't find Peach and soon learns she has been kidnapped by the evil group of the [[X-Nauts]], who are after the [[Crystal Stars]] as well. Using the magic of the [[Magical Map]], Mario goes after the Crystal Stars as well, to try and find Princess Peach and stop the X-Nauts, and meets new partners along his adventure: [[Goombella]], [[Koops]], [[Flurrie]], [[Yoshi (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Yoshi]], [[Vivian]], [[Bobbery]] and [[Ms. Mowz]]. Mario obtains new powers as well, and can turn into a paper plane, paper roll and paper boat. But the X-Nauts are actually planning to open the [[Thousand-Year Door]], and to unleash the demon sealed within: Mario doesn't only have to save the Princess, but to save the world as well. After many difficult battles, he destroys the [[Shadow Queen]]'s soul in the [[Shadow Palace]] and saves Peach again.

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Princess Peach is missing again, and Mario and Luigi deduce Bowser kidnapped her. But once they reach Bowser's Castle, [[Count Bleck]] introduces himself and kidnaps the entire Koopa Troop as well as Bowser and Luigi, while he abducted Peach earlier. Mario is knocked out, woken up by [[Tippi]] and brought to [[Flipside]], a town between dimensions. [[Merlon]] explains Mario must find the eight [[Pure Hearts]], each in a different dimension, and Count Bleck created the [[Void]] that is slowly destroying every dimension. Mario goes on an adventure through dimensions with Tippi, gaining the power to flip between dimensions after being taught by [[Bestovius]], and finding back Peach, Bowser and Luigi. With the help of the 12 [[Pixls]], the four heroes reach [[Bleck Castle]], fight [[Dimentio]] - who betrays Count Bleck - and use the Pure Hearts to destroy the [[Chaos Heart]] and destroy [[Super Dimentio]]. Count Bleck and Tippi gain back their original minds, as Blumiere and Timpani, and use their love to restore the dimension and undo the Void.

In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', Mario goes to the yearly [[Sticker Fest]], but Bowser crashes it, breaks the [[Sticker Star]] and knocks Mario out before kidnapping Peach. The hero is awakened by [[Kersti]], the guardian of the Sticker Star and its 6 wish-granting [[Royal Sticker]]s and both have to recover the Royal Stickers that were thrown through the Mushroom Kingdom, with the final one being stuck to Bowser's head, making him extremely powerful. Mario and Kersti, using sticker powers, recover the 5 first Royal Stickers, opening the path to [[Bowser's Sky Castle]] and to where Princess Peach is held. But Bowser turns giant and can't be normally beaten and Kersti sacrifices herself to power-up Mario, who finally beats Bowser and uses the 6 Royal Crowns to wish for Kersti's revival. Later, the Sticker Fest is celebrated again as the Sticker Star has been restored and Mario is part of the parade.
