	This game is considered a departure from the ''Paper Mario'' formula as it is a platforming game with RPG elements, rather than vice-versa. In ''Super Paper Mario'', Mario is given the ability to flip back and forth between the second and third dimensions. The player is also given the ability to play as Peach, Bowser, and Luigi as they become available.

			== {{Anchor\|Paper Mario}} ''Paper Mario'' series ==
	Bowser and Peach are forced to marry by the dastardly Count Bleck in order to create a blasphemous object called the Chaos Heart. Count Bleck uses it to open an interdimensional rift that will eventually consume the entire universe. Mario joins up with a Pixl named Tippi in order to gather the Pure Hearts, sacred objects that are able to aid in banishing the Chaos Heart, defeating Count Bleck, and saving existence from obliteration.

	*''']''' is the princess of the ]; she assists ]. In the first game, she discovers vital information for Mario to use and gives him items via a magical treasure chest. She eventually helps save the world from Bowser by wishing for Mario to have more strength. In the second game, she is kidnapped by the X-Nauts. While in captivity of the X-Nauts, she befriends their main computer, TEC, who is smitten by her, and assists her by allowing her to send e-mails to Mario's mailbox with helpful information about the X-Nauts' plans. Late in the game TEC reveals to Peach that the reason why the X-Nauts had captured her was because they needed a maiden that was pure of heart to be the new vessel of the Shadow Queen and she was briefly possessed. During the final battle with the Shadow Queen, Mario and his companions purged the Shadow Queen and rescued Peach without harming her. In ''Super Paper Mario'', she is captured by Count Bleck and forced to marry Bowser in order to cause the Chaos Heart to appear, which would effectively lead to the end of all worlds. Afterwards, she escapes the Count's clutches and reunites with Mario. Although she is briefly playable in ''Paper Mario'' and ''The Thousand-Year Door'', she is fully playable in ''Super Paper Mario''.

	*''']''' is Mario's brother and a protagonist. He is overlooked over in favor for his brother. In the first game, he leaves Peach's party early and therefore avoids becoming captured by Bowser and remains at home throughout the story. He is jealous of Mario that he goes on adventures while he has to tend to their home. In the second game, he is encountered several times in Rogueport, claiming that he was on his own adventure while Mario was off trying to collect the Crystal Stars. An author interviewed Luigi and wrote a book series based on his adventures. In the third game, he plays a dual role. He is at first brainwashed by Nastasia, Count Bleck's assistant, turning into "Mr. L", who attacks Mario with his "Brobot". After being restored, he comes to his senses and becomes Luigi again, as well as the fourth playable character. ''Super Paper Mario'' marks Luigi's first vital role in the ''Paper Mario'' series of games.

Video game series

Mario role-playing games
From top to bottom: The Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi and Mario + Rabbids series logos, and the logo header of Super Mario RPG

The Mario franchise, which originated as a series of platform games, has inspired a variety of role-playing video games released on multiple Nintendo video game consoles. All games feature Mario as the protagonist, who is often accompanied by one or more playable characters, with the goal of defeating the main antagonist, primarily Bowser. The first role-playing game in the franchise, Super Mario RPG (1996), was developed by Square for the Super NES. The two primary sub-series, Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi, follow conventions established in the original game.

The Paper Mario series is developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo, the first game being Paper Mario which was released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000. The original Paper Mario games are role-playing games, though installments in the series since Sticker Star also incorporate action-adventure elements. The series has received positive reviews, being praised for its paper-inspired aesthetic, writing, and characters, but changes to gameplay, such as in combat, received mixed reception. Recent entries since the release of Sticker Star have been criticized for the removal of original fictional races, the abundance of identical Toads, and the restrictions limiting unique character designs.

The Mario & Luigi series was developed by AlphaDream and published by Nintendo, the first game being Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. The Nintendo 3DS remake of Bowser's Inside Story was AlphaDream's final game before declaring bankruptcy in 2019. Three months after the declaration, however, Nintendo filed a trademark for the series in Argentina. The series had generally received critical acclaim, being praised for their writing, gameplay, and graphics, with some criticism for lack of innovation.

The Mario + Rabbids series is co-developed by Ubisoft Milan and Ubisoft Paris and published worldwide by Ubisoft and published in Asia by Nintendo and is a crossover series with the Raving Rabbids franchise, the first being Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for the Nintendo Switch in 2017.
