Paper Mario (2000)

After Bowser™ steals the Star Rod and kidnaps Princess Peach™, Mario™

plots to rescue the seven Star Spirits and free the Mushroom Kingdom

from the Koopa's rule. As Mario travels from the tropical jungles of

Lavalava Island to the frosty heights of Shiver Mountain, he'll need all

the help he can get. Master the abilities of the seven Star Spirits and

the other allies joining the adventure to aid our hero on the

battlefield. There are over 50 Badges to locate that, when equipped,

will grant special abilities and powerful attacks. The turn-based battle

system will make fighting Bowser's baddies equal parts strategy and

timing. Discover over 100 items, mix them together, and cook up

fantastic creations that will send your enemies' spinning and fleeing.

Close the book on Bowser's story before his evil deeds turn the world

upside down and only his wishes come true!
