The first game in the Paper Mario series, titled Paper Mario (but called Paper Mario 64 by fans for the sake of differentiation), released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000 in Japan and 2001 in North America and Europe.The game starts when Mario and Luigi get an invitation from Princess Peach to attend a party at her castle. When Mario goes to have some alone time with Peach, the ground suddenly shakes and the castle suddenly rises into space with all of the guests still inside. It turns out that Bowser built his castle underneath Peach's and rose both of them up into space in a giant Koopa Clown Car. Bowser then appears and reveals he had stolen an artifact called the Star Rod from Star Haven, which he uses to effortlessly defeat Mario and throw him out the window to the world below.Mario later wakes up in Goomba Village, where he receives a telepathic message from a star to go to Shooting Star Summit. Once there, the star, named Eldstar, tells Mario to find the seven Star Spirits, who are being held captive by Bowser's forces all over the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario then sets off, meeting a quirky cast of partners along the way.Paper Mario was re-released in 2007 on the Wii’s Virtual Console service, and later on the Wii U in 2015. In 2021, this game was the first title to join Nintendo Switch Online’s library of Nintendo 64 games after the service launched. | |

Nepharious Pharaoh: Tutankoopa is the boss of Dry Dry Ruins and keeper of one of the kidnapped Star Spirits. He attempts to frighten Mario away from the ruins, even calling himself the "remorseless king of the desert" in his first warning. Goombario wonders if he's got "some kind of a Pharaoh complex". | |

You Can't Thwart Stage One: No matter how badly you curbstomp Bowser in the first fight at the end of the game, he still escapes to the 2nd arena; you have no choice but to follow him and get trapped inside Kammy's device that negates the power of the Star Beam. | |

Encounter Repellant: The Bump Attack and First Attack badges allow you to skip combat with enemies who are too weak to give you Star Points, defeating them on the overworld. Once you hit the level cap, enemies no longer award any Star Points, so you're free to ignore all enemy encounters from there on, save for boss battles. | |

Badass Adorable: Anti Guy is harder to beat than most of the bosses, and yet he says everything with hearts. However, give him Lemon Candy and he'll soften up instantly on your first encounter. All eight of Mario's partners have super cute designs and are capable of kicking butt alongside Mario. | |

By the time Mario gets there at the very end, the only area you wouldn't have already been able to explore as Peach is the final boss arena. | |

Peninsula of Power Leveling: You can get yourself into a fight with some Bzzaps! (bee-like enemies) in Chapter 3, though they're Chapter 6 enemies, which is particularly nice as you get the Super Boots (which let you deal 4 damage with a basic jump) in Chapter 3 as well. Thanks to the game's usage of Anti-Grinding and the Bzzap's Glass Cannon status, you can use them to reap plenty of experience. | |

Cowardly Mooks | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_1ce9e3fb | comment |
Cowardly Mooks: One item and Lady Bow's Spook attack causes all but the most defiant of enemies (mostly bosses) to flee the battle immediately. All Kameks flee the battle automatically when they are the last opponent left. In chapter 4, Medi Guys flee a battle occasionally when they're the last one on the field. Mario eventually comes accross a squad of Shy Guys that will scream their lungs off and retreat once he breaks their barricade (their Girly Scream is also their Battle Cry, oddly enough). Crazee Dayzees will often flee. Not a bad thing, though, as their lullaby attack can be a pain to defend against. The rare Amazy Dayzee avoids Mario outside battles and almost always flees the battle if Mario doesn't kill it on his first turn. | |

Spiky, electrified, and fiery enemies cannot be harmed by direct contact (such as your jump), but you can hit them with your hammer. Many attacks (such as your hammer) are ground-only, and can't hit aerial enemies. Almost all types of Koopa can be flipped on their backs with an attack from above, reducing their defense. Alternatively, one of your partners has a defense-piercing attack. These are only a few broad examples; most enemies have some kind of resistance or weakness to some type of attack. | |

Limit Break | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_2afb1a9 | comment |
Limit Break: Mario's "Special Moves" are powered by limit break points called "Star Power", which slowly replenish themselves during battle and are replenished in a greater amount if Mario (or his partner, with a certain badge) uses a certain action. Mario gets eight of these special moves over the course of the first game and each uses a different amount of Star Power. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
The Star Storm power edges pretty close to this; you get it at the beginning of the fourth chapter in a game with eight total, and it deals 7 unblockable damage to all enemies on the field (in comparison, your regular attacks will never do more than 6 damage without any power-boosting badges). It costs two units of Star Power, which makes it just a bit too costly, but it still shreds through Mooks for most of the game - especially the following chapter, where all mooks have exactly 7HP. | |

Worf Had the Flu | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_2c628d38 | comment |
Worf Had the Flu: The seven Star Spirits are the most powerful Stars in the entire world, and having amazing powers. Unfortunately, the magic Bowser uses to transform them into playing cards also locks their abilities, and even after rescuing them, they barely have any energy. Eldstar mentions that he'll only be able to restore that energy "little by little" as time passes. This is why they can't offer Mario anything more than a single spell on the field, despite being the physical embodiment of wish-power. | |

Glass Cannon: The Bzzap! enemy. It does damage comparable to that dealt by late-game bosses, but it has less HP than some mooks in the very first dungeon. You can encounter a group of them much earlier than you're supposed to, earning you tons of experience. Tubba Blubba after reuniting with his heart also applies. He deals a fairly high amount of damage for an early boss, but only has 10 HP, meaning two attacks from Mario and his partner will finish him. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The Nintendo Switch Online port has a few crashes that boot you out of the N64 app entirely. If you haven't closed Paper Mario within the app, your saves will also be wiped if a crash happens. Hitting the tiny tree to the right of the entrance of Shiver City will consistently cause the game to boot you to the Switch's main menu. Before it was fixed, getting a Game Over with Watt as your active partner had a 100% consistent crash rate that kicked you to the Switch menu at the end of the Game Over sequence - but only on the American version. Stryder7x's channel details obscure glitches which can crash at least the original Nintendo 64 version of the game, if not all versions. Among the most ridiculous is an overflow glitch which requires you to hit a block in Dry Dry Desert for over 416 years. Technical Explanation This block is involved in a secret where hitting it once spawns a block containing a Mushroom, hitting it 10 times spawns one with a Super Shroom, and hitting it 100 times spawns one with an Ultra Shroom. The game assigns a variable which checks how many times you've hit it, which overflows at 4,294,967,295, allowing more blocks to be spawned in the same locations as the old ones, which takes over 36 years to do assuming frame-perfect inputs the entire time. Because the game begins to lag after 9 block spawns, it takes about 416.7 years to spawn the number of blocks needed to crash the game. Realistically, you'll only actually see this happen if you use hacks, which the uploader did to demonstrate the glitch. By the way, it must also be done in one sitting, as leaving the room after spawning the third block flags the puzzle as complete, preventing more blocks from being spawned. | |

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: After defeating Lava Piranha, he comes back to life, this time, with his body on fire. However, you can exploit that advantage as a weakness with Sushie's Squirt and Tidal Wave or with the Ice Power Badge and the Snowman Doll. After finally reaching Princess Peach's Castle after freeing all seven Star Spirits and traversing Bowser's Castle and its many traps, you have finally curbstomped Bowser! Seems like a good time to celebrate right? Wrong! Bowser has one last trick up his sleeve: the official final fight taking place on a platform that increases his power! | |

Boss Corridor | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_35743edc | comment |
Boss Corridor: A handful of the chapter bosses have some sort of straight corridor before their rooms. The first example is the battlement in the Koopa Bros. fortress where they fire Bullet Bills at you. The second is the underground hallways in Gusty Gulch, which is three hallways with Hyper Goombas in them that lead to Tubba Blubba's heart. There's also the rock walkway to the Lava Piranha and the cloud pathway to Huff N. Puff, and at the end of Bowser's Castle, you enter a hall with Peach supposedly waiting for you (she's a fake; it's four Duplighost enemies you need to kill to get past this room). After this hall is the third and last Bowser head room in the castle, where Mario has the final encounter with Jr. Troopa after he takes care of the Koopa Bros. for you. Finally, the upper halls of Peach's Castle, which are explorable in the game's prologue, lead to Bowser himself. | |

Sequential Boss | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_363e9631 | comment |
Sequential Boss: The Koopa Bros. First you fight them while they are inside a blatantly fake Bowser suit and try to pass themselves off as Bowser, and then once you destroy the suit, you fight all four brothers on foot. General Guy. You start with a Shy Guy mob, then two Stilt Guys, and then two Shy Stacks, then you get a crack at the General. The Lava Piranha has two stages. It starts as a large Piranha, but after depleting its initial health bar, a fake victory tune plays before the Lava Piranha emerges for Phase 2, now on fire. The final encounter with recurring boss Jr. Troopa, which is also the last mandatory fight before you reach Bowser, has Jr. shift through his regular, winged with spikes and magic wand forms, one at a time. The final boss fight with Bowser has a first phase that starts out as a hopeless boss fight, but then a cutscene boss fight with Kammy vs. Peach and Twink plays out before the Star Beam becomes the Peach Beam. After this, the final phase of the final boss fight begins. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The first two Star Powers you get aren't flashy, but they are extremely useful, especially because they only cost bar of Star Energy each: Eldstar's Refresh restores five Heart and Flower Points—but more importantly, it can cure Poison, making it incredibly helpful if you find yourself against a toxic enemy and don't have the items needed to heal the status effect. It's somewhat negated by the Feeling Fine Badge (which protects Mario from Poison and Dizzy effects), but until you have that item, you'll be using Refresh a lot. Mamar's Lullaby has the chance to put every enemy on the field to sleep. Unlike most items, it can even be used against bosses; it's particularly useful against Kent C. Koopa, who has a weakness to sleep-inducing effects. The only other way to achieve that effect is the Sleepy Sheep; Mamar's power essentially gives you unlimited uses of that item and allows you to save space in your limited inventory for more powerful goodies. The "Focus" power when paired with the Group Focus Badge. All it does is cause Mario to pray to the Star Spirits, which replenishes the Star Energy meter faster—and the Group Focus Badge allows all of his partners to use the same ability. If you find you have the wrong ally on the field (for example, Bow against anything with defense or Kooper against airborne enemies) and don't want to waste their turn with "Do Nothing," having them Focus can help restore the Star Energy meter faster and allow you to use more powerful attacks at a quicker pace. When paired with a few Deep Focus Badges—which cause more Star Energy to be restored with the Focus move AND can be stacked—your partner can replenish an entire bar of the meter in a single turn. | |

| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_3babae20 | comment |
Degraded Boss: A Koopatrol and a Hammer Bro. appear as optional bosses in chapter 4, before they become regular enemies by chapter 8. Putrid Piranhas only appear as bosses in Jade Jungle. In the next area, they are normal enemies. | |

Recurring Boss | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_3bb81225 | comment |
Recurring Boss: Jr. Troopa is fought several times throughout the game, though the battle plays differently in each chapter due to him learning new techniques before each encounter. He eventually grows wings, wears a spike helmet and learns magic as he tries to keep up with Mario's own progress. | |

Magikarp Power | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6 | comment |
Magikarp Power: Power Bounce. You get the badge for it in the Koopa Bros. Fortress, but it's not too strong at the time: it lets you jump on enemies for as long as you can keep up the command presses, but each enemy has a hidden value which determines the likelihood of the next Power Bounce succeeding versus forcing the attack to end, meaning you need to get quite lucky to do enough damage to justify the 3 FP cost, which is high for this point in the game when you might only have a maximum of 10 FP. Furthermore, your basic boots only deal 1 damage, making it useless against anything with defense (such as Fake Bowser), the Koopa Bros. themselves are a Wolfpack Boss who encourage the use of multi-target attacks, and most other enemies are weak enough to not require it, and in most cases you're better off using the hammer or Power Jump. However, as the game progresses you gain a number of tools which increase Power Bounce's usefulness significantly, such as the Jump and Super Jump Charge, Dodge Master, Spike and Fire Shields, and various attack-boosting badges along with the plot-required boot upgrades, which combine to increase its power and usability to the point where it can kill bosses in one hit. | |

Cognizant Limbs: The Lava Piranha is accompanied by two Lava Buds, limb-like Piranha Plants that give it more attacks. They stay wilted when they lose all their HP in the first phase; in phase two, they revive after a few turns, but get stunned by water/ice attacks and take longer to attack (they start making Petit Piranhas instead of directly spitting fire). | |

Blatant Lies: When Buzzar asks who you are, you can claim to be Princess Peach. He immediately sees through it and concludes you must be Mario trying to pull a fast one. You can also avert the trope by admitting you're Mario, which also starts a fight, or claiming to be Luigi, which he finds plausible enough to accept and let you pass. In Bowser's castle, in one of the unused bedrooms, examining the wardrobe will have a Toad pop out and say "Nothing here but us clothes". | |

Recurring Traveller: Chuck Quizmo can appear randomly in most of the game's towns, and prompts Mario for a quiz question to get a Star Piece. Kolorado travels around the world for the first half of the game, first showing up in Dry Dry Desert and then becoming a companion on the trip to Lavalava Island. After Chapter 5, he goes home to Koopa Village (if you can get him past Kent C. Koopa) and stays there. A trio of maids working at Peach's Castle end up visiting a few of the towns as the game progresses, usually right after you finish the respective chapter. | |

Butt-Monkey: Professor Kolorado. It's not apparent at first, but by the time Chapter 5 rolls around and he accompanies you to Lavalava Island, he's a walking slapstick comedy, getting minced by rolling spike Thwomps, falling 50 feet, and scorching himself in lava multiple times. Not to mention his wife who's usually annoyed that he's almost never at home and always doing expeditions, and eventually begins to send him letters demanding he return home immediately. Fuzzipede gets accidentally swallowed by a friendly whale while the animal was sleeping with his mouth open. In fact, Fuzzipede admits that he is this trope and regrets fighting Mario. | |

Useless Useful Spell: The curses you can inflict on yourself in the game give random effects out on occasion, such as doubling your attack power/defense, your experience, or the money you earn from your victory. Unfortunately, said curses have a high tendency to activate when there's absolutely no need for them, such as stomping on the average Goomba, getting double Star Points when you only got one from the battle, and having your defense raised when the only enemy left is flipped on its back unable to do anything. | |

Clap Your Hands If You Believe | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_4dbd3706 | comment |
Clap Your Hands If You Believe: In the final battle, Bowser turns out to have majorly swerved the Villain Ball by having Kammy prepare a backup plan while Mario was rescuing the Star Spirits, having long presumed he'd succeed: create an arena that takes the quite-literally-infinite power of the Star Rod and make it even stronger. It's at this point that victory is, put simply, impossible. After all, the one hard counter to the Reality Warper MacGuffin has just been rendered useless. However, it's by the very principles the Star Spirits work on that this changes — the power to grant wishes, which Peach has just been bolstering within Twink all this time in the background while he protects her from Kammy. Channeling the wishes of everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom to be saved through herself and into Twink, the Star Beam is empowered even beyond the enhanced might of the Star Rod, robbing Bowser of his double-invincibility and turning the tides. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: Partners don't have HP or their own badges, instead being knocked out for a certain amount of turns when damaged. Action Commands are not available from the start; Mario has to get the Lucky Star before they can be used. The Special Moves don't use Action Commands either. Compared to later Paper Mario games, the paper mechanic is almost purely aesthetical in this game, with no gameplay relevance and very few puns on paper. This is the only Paper Mario game that does not use Voice Grunting. Unlike future Paper Mario games, this one has no Playable Epilogue. Technically it does, but it's considered the Point of No Return and the game instead ends with an Unending End Card. | |

But Thou Must!: When an ally offers to join Mario's party, he can decline the offer, which triggers multiple variants of this trope: Kooper and Lakilester (by proxy) keep asking until you say yes, Lady Bow just brushes off your answer and joins you anyway.

When he steps outside, the veranda is no longer there (it broke apart due to the quake the block caused when it landed), and he immediately falls into the backyard when he realizes what's happened. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: If you try hard enough to scavenge the world for Star Pieces, you can buy such things as the Power Plus badge early on in the game. Once you get the Super Boots, you've got Ultra Boots' attack power a few chapters early. On that note, a subtler example in that you can go and get the Ultra Boots as soon as Lakilester joins you and use them against Huff N. Puff. The Star Storm power edges pretty close to this; you get it at the beginning of the fourth chapter in a game with eight total, and it deals 7 unblockable damage to all enemies on the field (in comparison, your regular attacks will never do more than 6 damage without any power-boosting badges). It costs two units of Star Power, which makes it just a bit too costly, but it still shreds through Mooks for most of the game - especially the following chapter, where all mooks have exactly 7HP. | |

Peach and Twink later fight her during the final battle. Kent C. Koopa wears swirly Nerd Glasses and looks goofy, but he's a greedy Koopa who sets up a ludicrous toll on Pleasant Path and tries to fight anyone that doesn't want to pay it. | |

Permanently Missable Content: Only eight Whacka Bumps can be beaten out of Whacka before he vanishes, making it possible to run out of them eventually. While no recipes can be missed by running out of Whacka Bumps, the strong Deluxe Feast can be made early on by cooking one with a Strange Leaf; otherwise, it can only be made by cooking a Shroom Steak with a Potato Salad (the ingredient for Potato Salad isn't available until Chapter 7). There are three badges (as well as a Jammin' Jelly and a Shooting Star) that can be found during Peach's between-chapter interludes, or by Mario himself at the end of the game. If Peach picks them up but fails to deliver them to Mario by the end of the interlude between Chapters 6 and 7, they'll remain in Peach's inventory and can never be obtained by Mario. | |

Not So Invincible After All: Tubba Blubba is hyped as "Invincible" for almost the entire chapter 3, but once Mario finds his secret, his defense drops to 0 and he becomes the easiest boss in the game. Despite his claims, Bowser in his Star Rod-boosted form is not actually invincible. In the first battle against him, the Star Rod merely raises his defense to an (impenetrable) 4, and to 15 in the second battle. | |

Meaningful Name: Of note is Herringway, a penguin author named for a famous real-life one. His name also foreshadows his role as a Red Herring in the search for the Mayor's murderer. | |

Welcome to Corneria: Averted with the residents of the Hub Level, who will change their dialogue after each chapter (many having mini-stories of their own) but played straight with most of the other locations, where the residents typically only have pre-chapter, sometimes mid-chapter, and post-chapter dialogue that stays the same for the rest of the game. Some get post-game dialogue, as well. | |

If you try hard enough to scavenge the world for Star Pieces, you can buy such things as the Power Plus badge early on in the game. Once you get the Super Boots, you've got Ultra Boots' attack power a few chapters early. On that note, a subtler example in that you can go and get the Ultra Boots as soon as Lakilester joins you and use them against Huff N. Puff. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: The Trading Event is a hidden sidequest that involves giving an item to a unique pink Toad in a time limit to get a better item. It is started by going to an otherwise unimportant house in Koopa Village and hitting the radio until it reaches a certain station, then listening to an announcement. It is possible to go through the entire game without ever knowing that this exists. No one ever tells you that the Star Beam can cancel out every positive status effect on enemies. Most people end up never using it until the very end. Hit a certain block in Dry Dry Desert ten times with the hammer, and a block with a super shroom appears - this is commonly known and even hinted at in game. But hit the same block one hundred times and a third block with an Ultra Shroom appears, the strongest healing item in the game. This is never even hinted at, and most players wouldn't think to do this without a guide. | |

Zero-Effort Boss | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_6edb0066 | comment |
Zero-Effort Boss: Tubba Blubba turns out to be pathetically weak once he's no longer invincible (the chapter's actual Climax Boss was instead his own heart, which you fight right beforehand). Monstar's ludicrously flashy attacks never do more than 1 damage. The Star Kids sure know their magic pyrotechnics, at least. The fight against Kammy Koopa at the finale, when you use Twink and Peach. It's purely scripted, so not only can you not lose, you can't even select options that aren't related to winning. The only thing that keeps it from being a cutscene is that you need to do the inputs yourself. The first Dojo opponent, Chan, can be cheesed by just spamming jump and headbonk attacks until he's defeated, since he's a Buzzy Beetle and can't ever attack if flipped over. Occasionally, he'll chide you for being dishonorable because of that. | |

Honest John's Dealership: Chet Rippo and Rip Cheato are both shady characters out to sell Mario something. Subverted in that their services are actually somewhat helpful: Chet lets Mario re-arrange his stats, and Rip can sell Mario some good items, a couple Star Pieces, and a very good Badge (though he eventually runs out of good stuff and sells nothing but Dried Shrooms afterwards). | |

Idiot Ball | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: After Mario's fight with his heart, Tubba Blubba reunites with it and claims that body and heart together will be unstoppable. The catch? Them being separated was the whole key to Tubba Blubba's invincibility. And if he really was that stupid, at least the heart should have known better. After chapter 5, Peach participates in a game show hosted by Bowser's minions where the consolation prize is the Sneaky Parasol, an item that allows its owner to transform into anyone they desire (as long as the original stands close to the user). That's right, Bowser's mooks awarded Peach, which at that point of the game has had a long history of failed escape attempts, with an item that makes it even easier for her. In chapter 7, there are a bunch of Duplighosts who pretend to be Mario's mirror image and mimic every step of his. At one point, there is a button only on their side of the "mirror" which repairs a Broken Bridge. Had they just not bothered to copy Mario once, Mario could have never crossed and made it throw the Palace. And this happens at a point where it's long clear that the mirror image is fake. | |

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_735b4101 | comment |
Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Enemies tend to share their species with non-enemies in this game, so all enemy Koopa Troopas are red-orange while all friendly ones sans the Green Ninjakoopa are green. Bob-omb enemies are indigo in color, while friendly Bob-ombs come in blue, green, red, and pink. Enemies are color-coded to show which abilities they have. The Magikoopas most notably come in 6 colors: red (can raise their comrades' attack), yellow (can electrify their comrades), green (can raise comrades' defense), gray (can make their comrades invisible), white (can replenish their comrades' health), and blue (can perform any of the aforementioned assists). Enemies are color-coded to show how strong they are. Regular Fuzzies are black, the more powerful Forest Fuzzies are green, and the most powerful Jungle Fuzzies are yellow. Dark Koopas are more powerful than regular Koopa Troopas and are purple, White Clubbas are more powerful than the regular green Clubbas, and the more powerful Monty Moles in Flower Fields are green while their weaker Mt. Rugged counterparts are brown. | |

Killer Rabbit: The Anti Guys are as cutesy as any other Shy Guy, and even speak with hearts, but are grossly stronger than almost anything else fought in the game Amazy Dayzees, if they choose to attack. The singing attack that's only an annoyance with Crazee Dayzees deals 20 when coming from them, a level of damage only matched by the Master and Bowser. | |

Healing Boss | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_77824082 | comment |
Healing Boss: Bowser, the final boss, breaks the rule by healing.note Only a max amount of three times and only if Mario has more HP than him. The Crystal King would heal as well, only twice. Huff N Puff is infamous for this. Any damage dealt could be negated due to him reabsorbing his minions back into his body. It would take attacks that could damage all on-screen enemies to at least keep his healing to a minimum. The minor boss Fuzzipede is able to heal as well. A total of 4 HP, way less than your party can deal in one turn, rendering the healing utterly useless. | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_7d561d58 | comment |
Repel Gel grants Mario invisibility and thus perfect evasion for most attacks. It lasts for more than one turn (unlike Bow's Outta Sight) and still allows Mario and his partner to attack during the effect (unlike the Stone Cap). However, it's one of the rarest consumable items in the game, in the same tier as Ultra Shrooms and Jammin' Jelly, and has no renewable sources besides Li'l Oink farming. Also, while Repel Gel is a godsend for Danger and Peril Mario strats, in normal gameplay you hardly ever need more than one turn of invincibility in a row; most of the more dangerous attacks in the game are telegraphed the turn before they come out, giving you time to switch to Bow and use Outta Sight to evade them more cheaply. It's telling that TTYD replaced Repel Gel with the much more common Repel Capes and Boo's Sheets. | |

In the final battle, he actually shrugs it off until Peach and Twink upgrade it into the Peach Beam. | |

Large Ham: A good portion of the series' humor revolves around just how over the top some of the characters speak and act, especially the villains. Bowser gets the most of this, as he and his minions make him seem more terrifying than he really is. | |

Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_83b89a9c | comment |
Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Used to a relatively small degree. Ice and water attacks do extra damage to fire enemies, and fire attacks the same for ice and bony enemies. But there are only a handful of elemental enemies and even fewer elemental attacks, and these enemies are almost completely contained to a single chapter each (fire in Chapter Five, ice in Chapter Seven, bony in Chapter Eight). Instead, there's a larger emphasis on Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors. | |

Seemingly Hopeless Boss Fight: During the final battle with Bowser, he surprisingly resists Mario's Star Beam, thanks to Kammy Koopa's invention empowering the Star Rod. However, the battle is made winnable once the princess upgrades Mario's attack into the Peach Beam. | |

Easily-Overheard Conversation: After the defeat of the Goomba King, he talks with the Goomba Bros. about the location of the secret switch that is crucial for progression. Naturally, Mario overhears everything. When Peach happens to overhear a conversation between a Koopatrol and a Hammer Bro., they casually talk about everything that the Princess really needs to know - the next target for Mario, his next opponent, and their weaknesses. | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill: During the You Can't Thwart Stage One/Final Boss Preview battle at the very beginning of the game, Mario is reduced to two Heart Points, and Bowser decides to finish him off with an attack worth 10 Attack Points! Since Mario only has 10 HP at the beginning of the game, Bowser could have taken Mario down in one hit, implying that he was Just Toying With Him. | |

Skippable Boss: In Chapter 2, Buzzar stops you on the last bridge of Mt. Rugged, saying that you look like the person on Bowser's "Wanted!" Poster, and asks your name. Answering Mario or Princess Peach results in a fight. However, answering Luigi will result in Buzzar letting you pass without a fight. You can return anytime and choose either of the other answers in order to trigger the battle, but be warned as thanks to the game's Anti-Grinding mechanic, you'll get less experience points for being a higher level. You can either pay the fee or use the Toad Town Tunnels to skip the battle with Kent C. Koopa after the completion of Chapter 5. | |

Invincible Villain: The main plot point of Chapter 3 is that Tubba Blubba is invincible, meaning that Mario won't be able to defeat him. However, Mario realizes that he has a weakness and sets out to discover it. Ultimately, he succeeds in making Tubba Blubba vincible so that he can defeat him. Bowser also has the ability to make himself invincible as well. The first time he does this, it allows him to defeat Mario easily. However, the second time they battle near the end of the game, Mario has access to the Star Beam, allowing him to remove this invincibility and stand a fighting chance. | |

Hive Mind: Huff N. Puff. When damaged, he splits off into several Tuff Puffs which have their own sentience. They refer to Huff himself as Master, despite being smaller parts of him. So it seems Huff is made of roughly 80 individual Tuff Puffs that you knock off and then kill as the battle goes on. As they're knocked off, they are separated from the central mind and become independent (but still loyal) once more. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: The first Jump upgrade changes the timing of Mario's Jump action command, because it includes a Ground Pound. The second Jump upgrade changes the timing of the action command back, because it replaces the Ground Pound with a Spin Jump. This makes getting down the timing for Power Bounce tedious, to say the least. If you're coming into this game from its sequel, sometimes you will be prompted to Superguard at any given enemy attack opportunity even though you should know full well that such a feature doesn't exist in this game. The timing for jumping attacks is also slightly different, which will likely result in many a failed action command until you get used to it. You may be tempted to try doing Action Commands in general before you get the item that gives you the ability. | |

Hub City: Toad Town, the area surrounding Peach's Castle. It has the most services of any town (two shops, the Dojo, Merlon's house, the Post Office, the inn, Tayce T.'s kitchen, the Li'l Oink Farm, and the Playroom), and Mario's house, Shooting Star Summit, and nearly every chapter area can be reached from somewhere within it or its Toad Town Tunnels dungeon. | |

Interface Spoiler: The fact that Goombario only has one Tattle per character shoves its way to the forefront in a hilarious way when you first meet Mayor Penguin, and his Tattle for him simply talks about his job and personality, but makes no mention of the fact that everyone thinks he's dead at the moment and that as far as the characters are aware, Goombario is Tattling his corpse. That's you're earliest tipoff that he's actually fine, just knocked out. | |

| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Luigi mentions in his diary that he really hates ghosts. When you get access to the port, you'll see Fishmael attempting to use Fuzzipede as bait. Eventually, they do fish up the whale that takes you to Lavalava Island. If you check the back of the Toad Town bulletin board between the completions of Chapters 4 and 5, you'll see a note from Kent C. Koopa working on his get-rich-quick scheme. The Chapter 6 interlude has Peach overhearing several mooks discussing Kammy Koopa building a special contraption in preparation for Mario's arrival. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: There are several that sometimes double with Call-Back. This game inherits several features from its original predecessor Super Mario RPG: This game's very premise is a development of an idea introduced by Geno, who claims that Star Road was responsible for granting wishes. Shooting Star Summit is a location in both games (called "Star Hill" in SMRPG). Paper Mario's Creative Closing Credits includes an all-cast parade, just like RPG. Luigi even marshals both. The Minister from Super Mario RPG also appears, though since the English version of that game called him "The Chancellor", the reference is Lost in Translation. In Luigi's first diary entry, he complains about not being able to go adventuring with Mario and that he prefers the peaceful times when they play golf and tennis and have parties. K64, the train that travels between Toad Town and Mt. Rugged, looks a lot like the train from Kalimari Desert in Mario Kart 64. The music that plays during the train ride is a remix of the Kalimari Desert theme. The first floor of Peach's Castle looks vaguely similar to its Super Mario 64 incarnation, while Bow's mansion looks like and has the same rough layout as Big Boo's Haunt. Before starting Chapter 5, Mario has to help a whale with digestive issues. When he succeeds, the whale suggests that people ought to call him Dr. Mario. | |

Fridge Logic: In-Universe example. Right when Mario leaves Lavalava Island, Jr. Troopa shows up, having swam all the way there. He misses Mario and has to swim all the way BACK to Toad Town. When Mario fights Jr. Troopa at Toad Town Harbor, his HP will be halved at the start of the battle. After Mario beats him, Jr. Troopa will realize he could've just flown to Lavalava Island and back since he has wings. | |

Production Foreshadowing: Reading Luigi's diary reveals that he's terrified of ghosts and that he also wishes that he would go on his own adventure one day. The good news for him is that he would get his wish only a few months later. The bad news for him is that said adventure involves entering a mansion filled with ghosts, the very things that he is terrified of. | |

Journey to the Sky: Since the villainous Huff N. Puff is clouding the sky with his Puff Puff machine during Chapter 6, sunlight isn't reaching the plants. Mario aims to reach the sky to challenge Huff N. Puff and revert the situation, but to do so he needs to gather some items first: A Miracle Bean that can grow into a tall beanstalk, a Fertile Soil to plant the bean onto, and some Miracle Water to make it grow. With the items gathered and the beanstalk grown, Mario climbs it to reach the Cloudy Climb and look for the boss. At the end of the ordeal, he frees the sixth Star Spirit and continues on his adventure. | |

Fake Mystery | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_ba6db525 | comment |
Fake Mystery: A variation occurs in Chapter 7 in that the fake murder mystery is staged completely by accident. Mario and friends arrive in Shiver City to find that the mayor has apparently been murdered, and because he was the first one on the scene of the "crime," Mario ends up becoming suspect number one. It turns out that the mayor wasn't even dead in the first place, and that he'd simply slipped and knocked himself unconscious, causing the overly excitable residents of Shiver City to assume he'd been murdered, in part due to the popularity of the city's resident novelist's mystery books. | |

King Mook | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_baaf641a | comment |
King Mook: King Goomba is about as straight as it gets; Bowser enhanced him with the power of the Star Rod and left him to govern the lands west of the Mushroom Kingdom. Unlike Tubba, he retains his enhanced powers, though he shows up in other games using the moniker "Goomboss". The Koopa Bros are a selection of four Koopa Troopas mixed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Tutankoopa is a koopa with a running motif of Pop Ancient Egyptology. Tubba Blubba is a much larger, invincible variation of the Clubba enemies. However, Tubba is also a small subversion in that in his normal state he's only slightly stronger than the average Clubba and something of a crybaby to boot; his incredible powers came from the fact that Bowser used stolen wish magic to separate and hide Tubba's heart, which rendered Tubba's body as an invulnerable puppet. Tubba's heart is the true boss fight, as normal Tubba has only 10 HP. General Guy is a Shy Guy with military stylings. Lava Piranha is a gigantic Piranha Plant with fire powers. Huff N. Puff is a giant Ruff Puff, and, when damaged, breaks up into a a smattering of tiny "Tuff Puffs", which can attack or be reabsorbed to heal Huff... unless Mario and company can destroy them first. Crystal King is a subtle example: design-wise, he is the only boss who doesn't look like any enemy seen in game, not even his Duplighost army. However, while their shapeshifter abilities are wasted by their lack of discipline, his ability to clone himself is more useful, as you may waste a turn hitting a clone or need a consuming ability to hit the king and his illusions in the same turn. | |

The player must bribe him with it twice throughout the story, first to move him out of the way while exploring the Toy Box, and again when he threatens to tell Bowser that Peach has escaped her confinement. | |

Remembered I Could Fly: Bombette is first seen stuck in a jail cell. Once she joins the party, she demonstrates her abilities by blasting a hole in the damaged wall. She then sheepishly admits that the idea hadn't occurred to her before that point. note Although it's only there because she took out her frustration by blowing up said section, meaning she most likely didn't realize how much damage she did before demonstrating for Mario. | |

In chapter 7, there are a bunch of Duplighosts who pretend to be Mario's mirror image and mimic every step of his. At one point, there is a button only on their side of the "mirror" which repairs a Broken Bridge. Had they just not bothered to copy Mario once, Mario could have never crossed and made it throw the Palace. And this happens at a point where it's long clear that the mirror image is fake. | |

Shout-Out: Minh T.'s Japanese name is Lip. Both characters are associated with flowers. In the same vein, Herringway the penguin novelist. Moustafa's Japanese name is Lawrenchu, likely based on Lawrence and the Japanese word for "mouse". The same character calls himself Sheek while in disguise. This sounds very familiar. Chan and Lee, two trainees at the Toad Town Dojo, are named after Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, respectively. The Koopa Brothers are not merely a reference to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but also a reference to the first Super Sentai installment, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger. Most explicitly pointed out when using Tattle on Yellow, commenting that he reminds you of curry. There is a running joke in Super Sentai that yellow rangers love curry, because the original Kirenger's whole schtick (besides his large size) was that he was always eating curry. Chuck Quizmo's Lovely Assistant Vanna T. is named after another famous assistant. It also sounds like vanity. When the time finally arrives to have a rematch with Bowser, he taunts you with a Star Wars reference: | |

Cloudcuckoolander: The entire penguin population of Shiver City, with the exception of Herringway, has a loose grip on reality and a really excitable nature. Mix this in with a serious penchant for gossip, and the slightest rumor can make them all go completely nuts. | |

Death of a Thousand Cuts | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_cadf2d2a | comment |
Death of a Thousand Cuts: Lady Bow (succeeded by the Yoshi Kid in the second game) specializes in doing a lot of damage in a flurry of attacks that do one damage each. Because of this, she can't do any damage to monsters with defense. She gets an upgraded attack later that deals two damage per hit for a grand total of ten — higher damage than any of your other partners can pull off in a turn. | |

| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_cd336741 | comment |
In Chapter 2, Buzzar stops you on the last bridge of Mt. Rugged, saying that you look like the person on Bowser's "Wanted!" Poster, and asks your name. Answering Mario or Princess Peach results in a fight. However, answering Luigi will result in Buzzar letting you pass without a fight. You can return anytime and choose either of the other answers in order to trigger the battle, but be warned as thanks to the game's Anti-Grinding mechanic, you'll get less experience points for being a higher level. | |

Some non-playable members of these races are friendly and helpful to Mario as well. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Downplayed with the partners, who all have unique dialogue for almost every scene that will only appear if they happen to be the ones out in the field when those events occur. Monstar is immune to the powers of the Star Spirits and the Shooting Star item. He's actually an amalgamation of Star Kids. One of your party members is recruited when you break open a lantern she is being held hostage inside. Most players just whack the lantern with the hammer, but if you break the lantern by blowing it up with Bombette, she complains that it wasn't necessary to use that much force. To meet Moustafa in Dry Dry Outpost, you have to buy a Dried Shroom and Dusty Hammer in the shop. You're supposed to learn this by giving a Lemon to Sheek, but if you buy the items beforehand, the shopkeeper lampshades how "lucky" you are to have stumbled into the correct solution. Moustafa will also raise an eyebrow at your mysterious knowledge. The Boo painting in the mansion has unique dialogue if you bring him the relevant quest item without having spoken to him. You can get two different Badges that reduce an enemy's Defense to 0 for the attack, D-Down Pound (Rowf's shop after Chapter 1) and D-Down Jump (early in Tubba Blubba's castle), prior to the point where you have to sneak past Tubba Blubba in one hallway. However, Tubba's invincibility has no relation to any Defense stat, so even these attacks don't work on him. In the scene following the Fuzzipede battle, your partner mentions remembering Twink saying where the next Star Spirit is. Since the battle takes place in darkness, you normally can't damage Fuzzipede without having Watt out, but if you wear the Zap Tap badge or use a Volt Shroom at the right time, you can end the battle with a different partner out, and all of the partners actually have unique dialogue for this scene. After getting the Super Boots, returning to Forever Forest will trigger a fight with Jr. Troopa. After getting Sushie, returning to Toad Town on the whale will trigger a fight against him. This is because if these triggers were set later, you would be able to skip them by opening blue pipes with Super Boots or Sushie. In Chapter Five, the five Yoshi Kids go missing, leading to mass panic in the village. Each time you rescue one child, you can go back to the village and discover that their parent (which has the same color) has calmed down and now has unique dialogue with you. If you visit Mario's House throughout the game, you can find Luigi on some kind of obstacle that can only be destroyed by the partner or quest item you got from the previous chapter (for example, sitting on a rock that Bombette can blow up). However, if you go to the House before entering the Forever Forest, you can see music notes fluttering up from the floor, hinting at Luigi's secret basement and diary. Should you so choose, you can get the Super Boots (which are needed to open the passage to the basement) in Boo's Mansion, trek all the way back through the Forest, and enter the hidden room early...leading to a small cutscene where Luigi turns, sees you, and panics by running away. There is absolutely NO indication to do any of this in the game. If you lure a Koopa Troopa or Spiky Goomba to the bridge on Pleasant Path with the red and green diamond pattern and battle him on it, there's a unique battle background showing the bridge. If you're standing on the table in the Koopa Village Toad House, the Toad will yell at you to get off the table before he lets you use his services. Generally, you can deliver letters to recipients at any time. In the case of Kolorado, there's a point during chapter 5 where he's been badly hurt by a spiked rolling rock, but he gets back up as soon as you enter the next room. You can deliver him a letter during this very brief period, and not only will he have unique dialogue for it, Parakarry will break his usual spiel to ask if he's okay. If using Cloud Nine when Mario is under the effect of Dizzy, Sleep or Freeze, Lakilester will pick him up with his cloud instead of having Mario jumping on it. If you try using Bow's Spook on Jr. Troopa, he will complain about Mario using cheap tactics, before taunting him for thinking that trying to scare him away would actually work. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: After you defeat Lakilester in battle, his girlfriend, Lakilulu, will ask you politely to spare his life. If you answer "No" she will get angry, throw a Spiny at you, and ask you again. In the Crystal Palace, doppelgängers of your current partner will appear at certain points, prompting Mario to hit the fake ones in order to progress. Hitting your real partner has them chide you, especially in the case of Kooper. His doppelgängers are of completely different characters and he chews you out if you hit him. | |

He fills the same role here, being a martial arts dojo Superboss who can be challenged three times. Twink for Geno from Super Mario RPG, or, rather, Geno's true form; he's sent down from Star Haven and ends up being a big help to the heroes. The Koopa Bros. are a blatant send-up of the Ninja Turtles. In the German version, they even have Italian-sounding names like their antetypes. | |

Gameplay and Story Integration: At the end of Chapter 5, Jr. Troopa finally catches up to you... only when you leave the island. When he fights you back at the pier, Jr. Troopa's health is significantly dropped due to swimming across the ocean. Twice. Jr. Troopa himself integrates the gameplay: He doesn't say "I'm exhausted", he literally says "My HP is almost gone!" | |

Plot Tailored to the Party: Every chapter boss has a natural weakness to the partner you obtain in the chapter itself. Some are subtle (Lakilester, who has one of the best methods to get rid of Huff n' Puff's pieces. Parakarry also has the best move to handle Tutankoopa) while others are more obvious (Bow, Watt, Sushie). | |

However, you can turn his advantage into a weakness if you have the Ice Power badge equipped, which allows you to stomp on and deal extra damage to enemies who are on fire. | |

Stone Wall: Several of the enemies later in the game have high HP (but no defense) but deal relatively small damage, such as Putrid Piranhas, Monty Moles from Flower Fields, Lakitus, Gulpits and Duplighosts. Mario himself can become a literal example by using the Stone Cap. It makes him invincible for several Turns... but at the cost of being unable to do anything until it wears off (forcing him to rely on his Partner for all the offense in the meantime). | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Paper Mario 64 (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Hitting the Whacka. Hit the Whacka eight times, and he disappears for good with the standard "enemy defeated" animation, though whether he simply flees or downright dies isn't stated. The Power Bounce attack lets Mario keep bouncing on an enemy until the player misses the action command or the cap is reached. While the cap for most enemies ensures that you cannot hit them more often than 5-8 times, few enemies do not have a cap and can be hit practically infinitely. This encourages many players to do ludicrous amounts of damage to weak enemies. Poor Goomba. When an enemy is impersonating one of your partners and you have to hit the one you think is "fake", you can "accidentally" attack your real partner. If you don't use Watt in the room right before General Guy, Shy Guys will swarm you and slap Mario around. It doesn't cause damage, so this can go on forever if you let it. Jr. Troopa remains on the map after most of the boss fights with him, and you can whack, jump on or bomb him to your heart's content until you leave the screen. When investigating the Whale's stomach Mario can use his hammer or do a spin jump on the Whale's insides causing him pain and to angrily ask what Mario is doing. | |

Have a Gay Old Time: The young star accompanying Peach in the castle is called "Twink", derived from "twinkle". However, with the liberalization of the society in the past 20 years and the subsequent leaking of slang terms into the mainstream, the term "Twink" is now more commonly associated with "young or young-looking gay man", which was probably not what the devs had intended in 2001. | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment: If you hit Posie's tree too many times after getting a Crystal Berry from her in Flower Fields, she'll kick Mario out and demand he never come back, and will tell him to Get Out! if he tries to come back. However, she will give up after Mario tries to come back after five times. When you first enter Shiver City, you can Tornado Jump on the frozen pond while there are people standing on it, but Mario will get scolded by the penguin patrol for potentially endangering pedestrians. Do it a second time, and he'll throw Mario back a screen (and undo the damage you've done to the ice). You won't be able to break the ice until it's clear (during the murder investigation). | |
