Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is the 2004 Nintendo GameCube sequel to the original Paper Mario and the second game in the Paper Mario series. It starts like a lot of Mario games, with a letter from Princess Peach. She wants Mario to meet her at a distant town called Rogueport, to help her search for a legendary treasure indicated by the map she sent along with the letter. By the time Mario actually pulls into port, Peach is gone, and for once it's not Bowser who kidnapped her (and he's very, very peeved about that).The mysterious secret society of X-Nauts and their leader, Sir Grodus, are the ones responsible this time. They're after the same treasure as Mario, and are hanging onto Peach for an unknown purpose related to this treasure hunt. Mario learns from the Goomba Professor Frankly and his young assistant Goombella that said treasure is locked behind the eponymous Thousand-Year Door beneath town, and that opening the massive door involves collecting the Crystal Stars scattered across the surrounding regions. As the game goes on, the nature of the treasure and why the X-Nauts are holding Peach comes to light, and let's just say said treasure is not a pile of gold coins.The game retains the same paper aesthetic, Turn-Based Combat, Action Commands, and Better than a Bare Bulb humor of the previous game, with some extra tweaks introduced. Action Commands are also needed for the Limit Break moves that are attained with each Crystal Star. The previous game's damage-reducing button presses during enemy attacks are supplemented by a Blocking Stops All Damage mechanic with a narrower window of accuracy. Each battle is fought in front of an audience that must be pleased by a good performance in order to increase the amount of Star Power recovered per turn. Your partners now have a health meter, and can be incapacitated if they run out (though the battle will still go on as long as Mario is alive). World exploration is aided by Mario gaining several paper-themed transformations like a paper airplane and a paper boat.A remake of the game was announced during the September 2023 Nintendo Direct, and is set to be released for the Nintendo Switch on May 23rd, 2024. | |

Forceful Kiss: When Flurrie joins Mario's party, she decides to thank him for retrieving her lost necklace by "grabbing him and giving him a little sugar" even as he frantically shakes his head for her not to. Flurrie's Lip Lock ability also counts as this. She grabs the enemy and forces a kiss on them, draining them of their HP. | |

Blamed for Being Railroaded: Zess T. tells you to stop moving because she lost a contact lens. Stand still as long as you want; she'll never find it. Move at all, in any direction, even slightly, and it will crunch under your boot (or hammer, if you chose to swing that.) There simply is no way to avoid smashing the darned thing. Even after you replace it, Zess T. will call you by insulting nicknames for the rest of the game. | |

The Artifact: The Spaghetti and Koopasta recipes use the same HP Values as the previous game, resulting in them being less useful than the item you make them from in this game. In Paper Mario 64, the Slow Go badge still wasn't that useful, but it could at least be used to avoid waking up the sleeping Clubbas in Tubba Blubba's Castle. In this game, there is no stealth segment or place where you need to walk slowly, giving it no practical purpose. | |

I Will Show You X!: Flavio during Chapter 5 sings a song many times where he mentions a "Boom-Bassa Boom Festival!" Well, after spending so long in his company, apparently Four-Eyes (Crump) had quite enough of Flavio's annoyances and when he attacks the island in his giant battleship, he makes fun of them all by shouting: "How's THAT for Boom-Bassa Boom?!" | |

Fake Longevity: Chapter 4 would actually be the shortest Chapter in the game if it weren't for the fact that you're forced to go Back Tracking through the Twilight Trail four times. Before Chapter 7, you have to find a Bob-omb named General White. This involves going to all the places you've already been to and finding out that's he's already long gone to somewhere else until he finally shows up at Fahr Outpost, the place from where you've set off. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The Thousand-Year Door is definitely darker and edgier than its predecessor. The previous game was a charming RPG adventure through the bright and colorful Mushroom Kingdom to save Peach from Bowser like Mario usually does every other week. Not here. This game starts with the opening shot of the Prologue looking right at a gallows in the middle of town. The aptly named Rogueport is a textbook example of a Wretched Hive, predominantly inhabited by cutthroats and miscreants (including a parody of the Yakuza/The Mafia), and even they are terrified of what lurks behind the Thousand-Year Door. Many of the areas in the game — notably Twilight Town and its surrounding areas, Riverside Station, the Pit of 100 Trials, and the final dungeon itself — have a creepy atmosphere by any standards, let alone those of the famously family-friendly Mario franchise. There is a dark undertone that permeates throughout the entire game, and as the plot begins to unfold, players come to the realization that the ultimate motive of the X-Nauts and the Shadow Sirens is far more sinister than anyone could have initially imagined, with potentially world-ending repercussions. | |

You Can't Thwart Stage One: Well, you can providing the villain isn't all that bright, but sadly Grodus is not so dim. He only has one Crystal Star, and when he realizes Mario is going to get the other six before he does, he alters his plan. He gives his star to Lord Crump and sets him against Mario; if Crump wins then Grodus just waltzes through the Thousand-Year Door, and if Mario wins he has the Shadow Sirens trick Mario into opening the door for him. | |

| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_1a8dc238 | comment |
Underestimating Badassery: The Final Boss assumes Mario and his party "do not possess any power" and offers to spare them if they agree to serve under her. Naturally, she is proven to be wrong about Mario and co. not having power. | |

Abandoned Area | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_1bbb76bc | comment |
Abandoned Area: Despite having two present employees and being a refuel station for the Excess Express, the Riverside Station qualifies, particularly once you're forced to venture deeper inside in order to lower the draw bridge which has been raised under mysterious circumstances. While the exterior features fairly upbeat music and a beautiful view of the sunset as many note, the same cannot be said for the interior: It's shabby, run-down, desolate and occupied by late game enemies with the only ambience being the sound of wind blowing through empty corridors or in some rooms the steady, ceaseless movement of gears. It borders on being an outright Bleak Level. | |

The Spiny | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_1c4e1b6b | comment |
The Spiny: Aside from the trope namer, of course (and its stronger counterpart, the Sky-Blue Spiny), there's a few other enemies that also fit in this category. Spiky Parabuzzies are a Spike Top and Parabuzzy hybrid, meaning they're immune to stomps and immune to ground-based attacks; being a Buzzy Beetle variant means they laugh off fire and explosions as well. Bristles are rock monsters with spikes all over themselves, hurting Mario if he tries to jump on them or hammer them without the Spike Shield badge equipped. Luckily, the regular variety has very low HP and can be taken out easily with an item, but the Dark Bristles are more durable. | |

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard: The instructions for the special skill "Sweet Feast" read "Hold [the Control Stick] left to try to hit hearts and flowers". This is because, unlike its predecessor "Sweet Treat", holding the stick will autofire. However, as shown by Milesluigi, you're probably better off spam-flicking the stick; "Sweet Feast" also removes the One Bullet at a Time limitation, and most people can repeatedly flick the stick substantially faster than the autofire rate. | |

If the rumor Goombella heard at the end is to be believed (supported by a brief scene in Poshley Heights), Grodus gave up his evil plans after being reduced to a head. He quit while he was a head. | |

A gatekeeper requires the mayor's permission to open the way into the woods, but the old man is already cursed when you go talk to him. Naturally, when you come back to the gatekeeper he's doomed too and Mario's group can just move on. | |

Chekhov's Gag: The pipe leading to Twilight Town during Chapter 4 rejects Mario's entry because he has nothing on him that identifies who he is. You easily get the problem fixed by talking to a Twilight Town resident in Rogueport that writes Mario's name on his overalls. After Doopliss steals Mario's name and identity, trying to leave Twilight Town will have the pipe spit Mario back out since he doesn't have a name anymore. | |

Mythology Gag: When Mario ('Great Gonzales' to everyone at this point) walks into the arena of the Glitz Pit before his fight with Rawk Hawk, the camera makes a short pan over the entire crowd, who is unanimously shouting "Gonzales, Gonzales!" except for one person who quickly shouts "Jumpman! Wait... what?" One of the badges you can buy from Charlieton is named "Jumpman". Its brother "Hammerman" riffs on the idea, but is valid in the same right (picking up the Hammer in Donkey Kong denied you the ability to jump). There's a handful of veiled references to the Nintendo 64, which was the console for the original Paper Mario. Ishnail of the Robbo Thieves will sell Mario information in exchange for a payment of 64 coins. Every Super Luigi book sells for a multiple of 64 coins, and Mario is challenged to 65th and 66th Annual Super Fun Quirk Quizzes, subtle references to the 64th Trivia Quiz-Off that Peach participated in during the previous game. | |

Disappeared Dad | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_28cd01ca | comment |
Disappeared Dad: Koops' father, Koopley, left for Hooktail Castle ten years before the start of the game to slay Hooktail. It doesn't end well, which gives Koops the motivation to join Mario to avenge his dad. When they defeat Hooktail, though, the dragon spits up Koopley, who survived in her stomach for ten years. Kolorado's father suffered the same fate Koops thought of his father. | |

The Dreaded | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: By far, the Shadow Queen, who is arguably one of the most heartless, evil Mario villains to ever have been onscreen. Her legend had stood strong during the events of the game, with people still talking about the four heroes who sealed her away. Her power is immense, shown when she severely cripples Grodus with a single lightning bolt, drags the audience to Hell to heal herself during the second phase of her fight, and attacks with all sorts of crazy moves that would leave you hurting badly. Cortez, the pirate ghost king. Not only is he in control of thousands of malevolent pirate spirits, it goes without saying that he's the leader for a reason. Subverted after he helps Mario and the other stranded islanders defeat "Four-Eyes" (Lord Crump) and gets them safely back to Rogueport after Chapter 5. Doopliss had his moment during the beginning of Chapter 4 where all of Twilight Town were being turned into pigs due to him making the bell ring throughout the land, leaving the remaining residents terrified as their loved ones became swine. Without a doubt, the suspense building up to who you would battle once you reached the steeple would be nerve-racking your first time. Despite being Demoted to Extra, Bowser. He might not be the Big Bad this time, but he's still the Koopa King. Most NPCs flee screaming from his presence. Only the very brave (Or just goofy) keep calm when he's around. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Mega Rush badge raises attack by a whooping 5 when Mario has only 1 HP remaining. The game gives so many different items, partner skills and badges to avoid his demise in that state during battle that it's not even funny, but reducing his health to that single point and keeping it that way all the time can be impractical due to reasons such as a lack of abusable hazards for Scratch Damage in many areas or the Level-Up Fill-Up mechanic. Furthermore, just a single Power Rush badge combined with other attack boosts can get Mario to game-breaking levels of power anyway. The Happy Lucky Lottery has some pretty cool prizes, but due to the mechaniacs of how the lottery generates its winner numbers, you'll have to either wait a long time note Up to a year for the grand prize. or cheat the clock to win the top prizes. Since there's easier ways to obtain them, you're probably best off not bothering to play it. | |

Organized Crime Sidequest | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_2d6d5715 | comment |
Organized Crime Sidequest: The game has some Lighter and Softer examples, as the resident Pianta crime syndicate is The Family for the Whole Family. The main quest involves a subplot involving tracking down the Don's former right-hand man, who's trying to elope with his daughter (which becomes a side plot throughout the game, where the couple are exiled, move to a tropical island and ultimately decide to return when the Don regrets his decision). In addition, several quests on the "Trouble Board" involve some fairly dodgy business, including delivering a mysterious package for someone who doesn't want to be seen out. | |

Glass Cannon | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: The game encourages players to play dangerously by stacking up attack multipliers when Mario is at low or critical health. Several items and skills can prevent Mario from being finished off to mantain this absurd power going for as long as possible, and a NPC can even respec Mario's stats so that he's always in Danger mode. Raising HP upon levelling up is outright called a lack of confidence by the interface. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: Shell Shield can cause the game to hang endlessly, if the partner in front is KO'd in the same move (but not simultaneously; the exact frame window depends on whether the fatal attack was guarded or not) as Mario's Shell Shield in the back gets broken. The game tries to play the "partner collapses", "Mario and partner trade places", and "Shell Shield breaks" animations all at once and somehow this exact timing causes them never to finish and the game never returns control to the player. Thankfully, this is a very specific circumstance. | |

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: If not for the second half of the chapter where Mario must reclaim his body from Doopliss, Chapter 4 would've been pretty short. During their visit to the X-Naut Base, Mario and his team attempt to find Princess Peach after obtaining the seventh and final Crystal Star, but TEC informs them that Grodus already took her to the Palace of Shadow. After you've defeated Bowser and Kammy after beating Grodus, it must be over right? Not even close! Grodus survived that last battle and has taken Peach into a secret room! That secret room is the crypt of the Shadow Queen, and Grodus is about to awaken her so she can possess Peach's body! | |

| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_381066e2 | comment |
Ridiculously Small Wings: The dragon siblings (Hooktail, Gloomtail, and Bonetail) all have extremely tiny wings that should in no way allow them to fly, yet Hooktail is seen flying perfectly fine. It is unknown if Gloomtail or Bonetail can fly as well. | |

Five-Second Foreshadowing | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_381855db | comment |
Five-Second Foreshadowing: When Grodus awakens the ancient demon that's been sleeping behind the Thousand-Year Door, it's revealed that she's actually a Living Shadow like the Shadow Sirens are. Not two minutes later, you learn that Beldam had duped Grodus into opening the Door for her, and that she's been a loyal servant of this Shadow Queen the entire time. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The popular "Danger Mario" build can be surprisingly simple to set up and mantain, with lots of resources on the core path that raise Mario's attack power and make him very hard to hit without even the need to learn the Superguard mechanic. This makes the plain old Power Bounce and Multibounce skills capable of trampling over most enemies and bosses by themselves, rendering all the flashy partner attacks and Special moves largely unnecessary. The very first Special Move unlocked, Sweet Treat, remains useful throughout the game as a way to refill HP & FP using an easily renewable resource. The second Special Move, Earth Tremor, is likely to remain the most-used offensive special even after more powerful moves like Art Attack are unlocked, thanks to its dirt-cheap SP cost. | |

Pop Quiz: A Thwomp in the game's introduction area pops up to ask you some basic questions. Near the end of the game he returns for Round 2, this time in a cybernetic version. Due to his programing from simply telling her outright, TEC has to use one to reveal to Peach the true extent of Grodus' plans for her. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: During the time bomb sequence in chapter 2, hitting a save block with a few seconds left on the timer can trap you into an unavoidable game over, as Crump and the Puni Elder's conversation will outlast the timer, and can't be skipped or avoided due to it segueing into the chapter boss. The only way to get out of it is to start a new file. The tournament fights in Chapter 3 will assign you with a random condition that needs to be fulfilled in addition to winning the fight, such as never letting your partner attack at all, or not being able to use FP. It is in fact possible to get one of these two conditions against the Iron Clefts, which makes it completely impossible to defeat them since you need to use Yoshi's gulp to hurt them, and gulp costs 4 FP to use. While you can just ignore the fight condition, doing so will cause your rank to suffer and you'll have to fight the Iron Clefts again. | |

Plot Twist: Especially for players familiar with Super Mario RPG and the original Paper Mario, which also sent you on quests to recover seven stars. This time, collecting all the goodies advances the villains' agenda — Nice Job Breaking It, Hero. Although in fairness, the seal on the door was getting weaker over time and the heroes would have had to collect the Crystal Stars anyway if they wanted to reseal the door. | |

Recurring Boss | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_3bb81225 | comment |
Recurring Boss: Lord Crump is fought four times: twice on foot, and twice in Magnus von Grapple. The Shadow Sirens are fought in Chapter 2 and again in Chapter 8, with the noticeable change in that, between fights, Doopliss replaces Vivian. Bowser engages Mario in a fight towards the end of Chapter 3, and then becomes the penultimate boss of the game along with Kammy. Mario gets in a fight with the Chapter 4 boss more than any other boss in the game. After beating him once, you're required to go through at least two Hopeless Boss Fights where neither of you can beat each other, and then you rematch him while he has your partners for the real final battle of the chapter. When that's said and done, there's still one last fight with him in Chapter 8 along with Beldam and Marilyn. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Luigi's adventure. Before Luigi actually finishes his adventure, the book based on his adventure starts to release. The first volume of Super Luigi's first paragraph starts something like this: Have you ever tried your hardest to do something, fail, and then feel like you completely wasted your time. This is a story much like that. Now, this is a pretty accurate statement, considering the source. Except for the fact that Luigi isn't done with his quest yet. He won't be for at least two more Chapters of Mario's adventure. How does the book know? | |

This time the kidnapper isn't kidnapping Peach simply because he's an Abhorrent Admirer. Luigi gets his own in the form of Princess Eclair, though it turns out that her kidnapper wasn't actually the main villain, at least according to the Super Luigi book series. | |

No Fair Cheating: By altering the Gamecube console's internal clock ahead for joining Rogueport's daily lottery multiple times, the event will be blocked until you talk to Lucky the Bob-omb to apologize by buying another lottery ticket for 500 coins.note Cheating at the Lucky Lottery twice does NOT induce a game over; it just has the same effects it does the first time. | |

Low-Level Advantage | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_46fc2236 | comment |
Low-Level Advantage: The "Danger Mario" setup backfires at level 72, because your BP and SP will both be maxed at that point, so you will be forced to upgrade HP, breaking the setup. Actually getting one's level this high takes extreme amounts of Level Grinding, however, since one will likely be around Level 20-30 by the end of the game. | |

Exact Eavesdropping | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_4712bc4f | comment |
Exact Eavesdropping: Played With in Twilight Town with the crows. Mario and Vivian learn by eavesdropping on the crows how to learn the name of the monster who stole his body. Of course, they have to listen to the right crows, or they get nothing but random philosophy or gossip. In Chapter 3, while in the vent, the person you're spying on basically goes over his entire diabolical plan to himself. Just to grab your attention, he more or less says "And since I'm talking out loud here, I'll just put this extremely important piece of paper in this desk drawer here and leave. Ah, there we go. Right there in the drawer, nobody's gonna steal it at all." | |

Bowser and Kammy definitely take the cake, too. Bowser, aside from being his usual menacing self, spends his playable segments trying to track down Mario and the Crystal Stars only to get the short end of the stick pretty much every time. Kammy, meanwhile, alternates between getting caught up in Bowser's misfortune or having the time of her life while Bowser struggles. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_485eb589 | comment |
Sealed Evil in a Can: Occurs so much in this game that it might as well be a motif. Played with throughout the game, in which Mario encounters four black chests containing supposedly innocent beings only to reveal themselves as evil spirits upon being freed, which they follow up by cursing Mario... with a Second Hour Superpower. Exaggerated with the Final Boss. The Shadow Queen is sealed within a stone casket that can only be opened with a non-lethal human sacrifice. This casket is hidden in a crypt behind a secret door in the innermost depths of the Palace of Shadow, beyond its myriad monsters and mechanisms, which is sealed behind the humongous Thousand-Year Door, which is itself sealed by the power of the seven Crystal Stars. The Crystal Stars have been scattered across the country, and the Magical Map meant to lead the way to each of them was sealed away in a chest that could only be opened by the pure of heart. Didja get all that? Though to be totally fair to the architects, if you couldn't destroy the sealed monster, you'd also want it stuck behind as many locks as possible. | |

Villain Forgot to Level Grind | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_4bc2a19c | comment |
Villain Forgot to Level Grind: While most recurring bosses do get notable stronger during rematches, there are two exceptions: Rawk Hawk can be infinitely refought after Chapter 3 if you fight your way back to the top of the Glitz Pit. Despite recurring comments and emails from him that he keeps training, his stats and moves stay exactly the same, making an already simple fight even easier. Interestingly played with in regards to Doopliss. In his first stint as a chapter boss, he has 40 HP, 4 Attack, and 0 Defense. You rematch him in the final dungeon, and despite a slight Attack Power increase that's necessary given that he mimics Mario, his only new trick is that he can mimic your partners now. The danger in the rematch comes more from the fact that you're fighting Doopliss, Marilyn, and Beldam at once. | |

Useless Useful Spell | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_4c709317 | comment |
Useless Useful Spell: Bobbery's Bomb Squad lets him fire out three bombs onto the enemy's side, which explode a turn later. Neat in concept, but it's mostly rendered obsolete by other group-damage moves (including Bobbery's own Bob-ombast). The turn delay means that you can usually finish a fight before the bombs explode, they only hit ground enemies, and they deal 3 non-piercing damage even at Bobbery's higher ranks. It's only notably useful in fights such as Lord Crump and the Shadow Sirens, groups of grounded enemies with no Defense Power. Bobbery's Hold Fast gives him the Payback status normally granted by Spite Pouches, which returns half of the damage he takes to the attacker. Theoretically useful in assisting his tanking capabilities, but it only affects contact damage, while plenty of enemies and nearly all bosses use ranged attacks. Vivian's Infatuate inflicts the confusion status on enemies, making them occassionally target the wrong thing with their moves. While it can be fun to use on enemies such as Magikoopas or Wizzerds, as they'll grant the party buffs they normally place on themselves, the move's execution requires stiff timing and the chance of it working is inconsistent. You're usually better off stopping an enemy from attacking altogether rather than making their attacks occasionally redirect themselves. Averted with Flurrie's Gale Force, which is functionally a multi-target One-Hit Kill attack. Unlike similar attacks in the previous game, it lets you earn Star Points, and nearly every flying or hovering enemy can be affected by it. | |

Aversion | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_4ce53a3c | comment |
Essentially any point in the game where dialogue options seemingly give Mario a chance to refuse a possible plot-relevant action or to help someone in need. In most of these cases, his partner will either correct him or outright ignore his refusal and make the decision for him. The biggest aversion to this occurs when the Shadow Queen offers Mario a chance to be her servant. He can actually accept, which leads to a Non-Standard Game Over. | |

Long Song, Short Scene: "Escape the Falling Ceiling" plays once, during an event in Hooktail Castle in which a spiked ceiling trap is descending upon you and you need to get out fast. The song lasts 56 seconds before looping, but your time limit is only 50, and you'll probably get out with a generous amount of time to spare, cutting off a huge portion of the song in its only appearance. | |

This is the first time in the game that the audience learns what awaits beyond the door, and the lack of ceremony about it only heightens the player's likely "Wait, what!?" reaction. | |

Once she joins the party, if the player upgrades her stats, she can be as strong as her Big Sister Bully Beldam by the end of the game, giving the implication that Beldam was doing her best to keep Vivian down and weak via bullying. | |

There are several instances when Mario can choose between two things to say, and sometimes the second choice is less than morally sound to say the least. If he chooses that option, his partner will chew him out and, in a case of seeking the next course of action, insist on taking the first option. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Rawk Hawk goes to great lengths to prevent Mario from fighting him or from advancing. Why? Simply out of revenge for Mario and his partners allegedly calling his champion's belt fake and thus inadvertently implying that he was a bad fighter (and they weren't even talking about the belt itself, but the Crystal Star on him). Similarly, the Armored Adonis Twins in the same Chapter wanted to beat Mario to a complete pulp, and later attempted to ambush Mario right after Mario defeated another group after losing to them in a rematch because Mario allegedly talked trash about their mom (something he didn't even do, but Grubba did while pinning the blame on Mario). | |

Scratch Damage | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_5405b144 | comment |
The Mega Rush badge raises attack by a whooping 5 when Mario has only 1 HP remaining. The game gives so many different items, partner skills and badges to avoid his demise in that state during battle that it's not even funny, but reducing his health to that single point and keeping it that way all the time can be impractical due to reasons such as a lack of abusable hazards for Scratch Damage in many areas or the Level-Up Fill-Up mechanic. Furthermore, just a single Power Rush badge combined with other attack boosts can get Mario to game-breaking levels of power anyway. | |

Discussed post-game when the single Twilight Town resident in Rogueport comments that the Shadow Queen's darkness was more of a creepy, sinister kind-of-dark as opposed to the one he prefers. The Dark Bones mini-boss in the Palace of Shadow. His sole line of dialogue implies that he's trying to prevent the Shadow Queen from being awoken. | |

Meaningful Background Event The Bowser interlude after Chapter 6 happens to take place riiiight in front of that huge chest in Rogueport that has been taunting you the whole game, but you might have forgotten about by now. This clues the player into the fact that you can finally get it now. The one time you catch the Pianta Syndicate doing anything really bad is in the prologue, when Tony and Vinny ambush and beat up a passing pair of Robbo Gang members (Gus and Garf?), which lets you know that Rogueport isn't just rough around the edges, but actually dangerous. | |

In Twilight Town in Chapter 4, a villager makes a wish on the moon not to turn into a pig. When his wish is granted, he asks Mario who he thinks lives on the moon. The two answers are Little Green Men and Princess Peach. While you don't know at this point in the narrative, the latter actually is true - Princess Peach is in the X-Naut Base, which is later revealed to be on the moon. The NPC's response to this answer is pregnant with foreshadowing. | |

Also, if Mario is at one hit point left and he touches anything fiery, it's Game Over. As for Bowser, during the Chapter 6-7 interlude where he traverses a platformer castle level based on the castle levels of the very first Super Mario Bros. game, touching the lava sends him back where he started, though he carries infinite life. | |

False Innocence Trick | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_64f55e69 | comment |
False Innocence Trick: Every Black Chest Demon you encounter will try its damnedest to convince you that it's an innocent victim trapped in a chest only to reveal itself as an evil spirit and curse you. Of course, it becomes quickly apparent that Mario is being Cursed with Awesome, and the act has gone stale by the fourth chest, to the point that even Mario tells the Chest Demon to just shut up and curse him already. Grifty's stories imply that the four Chest Demons are actually the four heroes of legend who originally sealed the Shadow Queen beneath Rogueport a thousand years ago. | |

Lightning Can Do Anything: In contrast to the original game, where Black Chests cursing Mario are accompanied by three seizure-inducing flashes, the trailer shows that they now curse him by striking him with a bolt of lightning. | |

Escape Battle Technique | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_65a258f2 | comment |
Escape Battle Technique: The game featured a "Run Away" option outside of most scripted fights, though it had a good chance of failing and cost coins (albeit coins that could be picked up afterward). The upside is that mashing A quickly enough gets you a 100% success rate & the coins you lose land on the ground so you can get 'em back although you'll need to to avoid the enemy while you do it & they don't stay long. | |

Fooled by the Sound: When Mario is spying on Grubba, the latter hears a sound from the vents and the player must choose from three options a sound to imitate: a squeak, a meow or a belch. Fortunately for our heroes, if the last option is picked, Grubba assumes it's just a belching beetle. | |

Permanently Missable Content: The Tattle Log averts this, as its missable entries can be picked up from Professor Frankly's trash can once the last opportunity to fight an enemy has passed. You still miss out on seeing Goombella's commentary on the foe. During Chapter 3, two Glitz Pit teams retire and are succeeded by newcomers; the KP Koopas are replaced by Wings of Night (four Swoopers) and the Hand-It-Overs are swapped for the Destructors (two Spinias and two Spanias). You can face them in a bout if you fall down the rankings, but it requires a lot of failures and doesn't achieve anything special. Once the chapter is over, the retired teams rejoin the Glitz Pit lineup if you choose to go through it again, making it impossible to fight the teams that replaced them. | |

MacGuffin Delivery Service: When the heroes confront Magnus von Grapple 2.0; Crump announces that he plans to beat Mario & co. to take the six Crystal Stars they had; thus, the X-Nauts would have all seven (as he was guarding that one). Mario and his party defeat Crump and Magnus, and take the Crystal Star he was guarding. Played straight shortly after, when the party is tricked into believing the villains had entered ahead of them thanks to the enchantment on the door weakening. Justified: the enchantment was weakening — which is one reason Mario & co. had to gather the Crystal Stars; they would need them to re-seal the door should it open of its own accord. | |

Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: Grodus is the scheming antagonist for most of the game and leads the X-Nauts without any tolerance for failure, while Lord Crump fails more or less every assignment he's given when it comes to the Crystal Stars. Bowser and Kammy definitely take the cake, too. Bowser, aside from being his usual menacing self, spends his playable segments trying to track down Mario and the Crystal Stars only to get the short end of the stick pretty much every time. Kammy, meanwhile, alternates between getting caught up in Bowser's misfortune or having the time of her life while Bowser struggles. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: The fog that appears during the battle that lasts two turns and reduces everyone's accuracy by 50% can be removed from the battle by either using an attack or item that triggers an explosion or by using Flurrie's Gale Force. The game never tells you that you can get rid of the fog. Finding the Atomic Boo. Remember the church full of Boos clinging to you and sending you back to the entrance? You can send them flying with a Spin Attack. Do so until the boss shows up. To the game's credit, it tries to give to you a clue — notice how the Boos are spinning as they crowd you. Finding General White in Chapter 7. You need to backtrack to most major chapter locations out of order, talk to certain characters, and head back to Fahr Outpost. The townsperson you need to talk to can be either a major NPC (the bartender in Glitzville) or a minor one (a Twilight Towner in an innocuous corner), and their hints are designed with the idea you're expecting a run-around beforehand. The last hint doesn't even give you a location, just the hint "he said he was tired" which the player is supposed to read as "he returned to his home in Fahr Outpost." Notably, there's nothing in the game prior to this point to notify you the house he's in has anything to do with General White. Any time you need to use Vivian's ability to get an unseen, hiding NPC to reveal themselves, most notably while finding Ghost T. in Chapter 6. | |

Story-wise, it ends with Peach coming to Mario's house and saying she's found a new treasure map in the castle and is waiting for Mario on the boat.

Touching the lava or a Fire Bar not only takes away one hit point, it also sends Mario back where he started. Also, if Mario is at one hit point left and he touches anything fiery, it's Game Over. | |

Blocking Stops All Damage | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_72d43279 | comment |
Blocking Stops All Damage: You can Superguard against pretty much anything that causes damage in battle, regardless of whether that means physical attacks, projectiles, lightning strikes, falling walls, fire or explosions, all with no harm done to Mario. The catch is that the timing for the Superguard is extremely strict, and failing the timing means you take full damage, so it's all or nothing. | |

Hooktail, the boss of Chapter 1, is a feared, legendary dragon inhabiting a local castle. Even though she's prominently featured on the cover of the game, Hooktail herself doesn't factor into the X-Nauts' plans, and even though she is one of the pets of the Shadow Queen, Hooktail not even once alludes to this. | |

Unwitting Pawn | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_733e007a | comment |
Unwitting Pawn: Lord Crump became Grodus's around the time Mario and his friends obtain the Garnet Star. Grodus, who by this point has gotten increasingly fed up with his underling's failures, assigns Crump to defend the final Crystal Star. Grodus figures it a win-win scenario, either Mario & co. defeat Crump and open the Thousand-Year Door for him, or Crump emerges victorious and obtains all the Crystal Stars Mario had on him. However by the game's climax, Grodus gets this trope thrown right back at him by Beldam, who only used the X-Nauts as a means to an end to revive the Shadow Queen, her true master. She intentionally misleads Grodus by convincing him that the Queen would serve whoever resurrected her instead of vaporizing Grodus for daring to try to command her. | |

Healing Boss: The game has three scripted examples: After getting Hooktail's HP down to zero, she will attempt to trick you into coming closer to get a cheap shot in. Regardless of whether or not you fall for the tricks, she will then devour some of the audience to restore some of her health. After nearly depleting Cortez's HP to zero in his third phase, he will eat the souls of half the audience and fully restore his health. Upon dropping the Shadow Queen's HP to half, she will show her true form and become invincible. After a few turns she will use her powers to consume the entire audience and restore herself to full health. | |

"Rashomon"-Style: In most cases, the story Luigi tells contrasts with the account given by the partner. Interestingly, only the second accountnote The first account has no partner to confirm or contradict the story Luigi tells is irreconcilably contradicted by that of Luigi's partner (Blooey in this case)—and it's also impossible to take Blooey's account as complete truth, as it fails to explain how Luigi secured that second compass piece. Mostly, the partners' conversations are used to reveal their real motivations for following Luigi around. There is also the author of the Super Luigi books, who plays him up even more than the man in green himself. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Happens when Mario and co. are tricked by Doopliss (disguised as Professor Frankly) into opening the Thousand-Year Door so the villains can get through. However, it's implied that this was for the best in the end, since the seal was weakening over time and would have eventually broken on its own. A more minor example, but Peach instinctively yelling out Mario's name during the chapter 1 interlude allows Grodus to figure out Mario is hunting for the Crystal Stars and deduces he has the magic map. | |

Establishing Character Moment: For the whole setting, there are a few at the start that come in rapid succession to enforce that you're not in the fun-loving Mushroom Kingdom. The player's first clue that this game will be Darker and Edgier than the Mario norm? That would be the gallows in the center square. Then you see some toughs threatening someone in the background. Then a pickpocket robs Mario himself of half his coins. When the Shadow Queen is finally released from her crypt and possesses Princess Peach, it quickly becomes apparent that she will not listen to Grodus as he had thought. After severely crippling and sending him away, she then offers Mario a Deal with the Devil. | |

Puzzle Boss: Hooktail is one of the more powerful main-story bosses before the endgame epilogue. With a defense point and a whopping 5 damage with certain attacks, your survival at this point in the game, while not foregone, is slim. You can entirely beat Hooktail the hard way... but there is a way to make the fight much more reasonable, you just have to hurt her with something that starts with "Cr" and ends with "Icket". Equip the right Sound FX badge and strike Hooktail, and her mighty 5 attack drops to 2, and her defense is removed. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: We never do get to see what became of Bowser and Kammy at all during Goombella's travels when she tells Mario what everyone is up to. Heck, the last time they're ever seen in the game is lying in defeat in the Palace of Shadow just before the final boss fight, and they disappear after you leave the room and aren't mentioned at all during the ending. However, this being the constant Big Bad of Mario games, he's bound to return. Though Prince Mush says he's ready to get back into the ring following Chapter 3, nothing comes of this and he ends up vanishing from the game entirely. At the end of Chapter 3, Grubba just disappears, with the only mention he gets being from Jolene who simply says that she will take over the Glitz Pit in his absence. | |

Parental Bonus | |

Parental Bonus: Plenty, but perhaps the most obvious is Chapter 6, which centres on a stout little man with a moustache attempting to solve a mystery while on a three-day voyage aboard a luxury train. Then there's Fahr Outpost, a snowy region populated by bombs who wear bearskin hats. Their mayor speaks broken English peppered with 'da's and vehemently denies the existence of a superweapon on the base. The official Nintendo Player's Guide actually lampshaded this: "Considering most of the Bob-ombs speak with Russian accents, those of you who grew up in the '60s may feel a bit nervous when you see the enormous weapon rise from a silo. Resist the urge to hide under a desk and tuck your head between your legs." | |

Bait-and-Switch: For those who forgot about the introduction of the game (or just haven't played/seen it in a while), it's very easy to assume that booknote the accompanying music also only played for a few seconds was for something else Mario related and the first part of the reveal trailer footage could easily be mistaken for an outright remake of the first game (which also begins with Luigi handing over Mario a letter from Peach). | |

There are combat skills for several situations, stat boosters and other passive effects, and even minor things like changing the color of Mario's costume or the sounds that his attacks make.

Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: A staple for the sub-series. This time, you have a Valley Girl archaeologist, an overly meek turtle, a wind spirit White-Dwarf Starlet, a hyperactive, belligerent baby dinosaur, a shadow creature with an inferiority complex who was part of the Terrible Trio, an exploding sea captain, and maybe a mousy Classy Cat-Burglar. Luigi's team is even better. He's got a crispy floating squid, a living bomb that looks like a cherry, a disgruntled mechanic who builds roving death vehicles, a spacey director, and a mysterious thing that must deliver a package. All of them (save for the director, Hayzee) are with Luigi to keep him from doing/not doing something or other. | |

Joke Item | |

The Double Pain badge is a pure Joke Item on the surface, doubling the damage Mario takes from everything in-game and costs 0 BP to equip like the other "joke" badges. That being said, it makes the Return Postage badge (which is your reward from completing the Pit of 100 Trials) much more effective, since the increased damage Mario will take also means the enemy will receive more damage in return. The best use of this strategy is in Glitzville, since there's a free bed available in between every single battle. | |

Backtracking | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_8d2f6f03 | comment |
Backtracking: Every Chapter except the last one involves doubling back at some point. Chapter 4 has you to travel from one end of the map to the other and back 3 times. This wouldn't be bad if the path weren't full of high-damaging Hyper Goombas and Clefts, and the rest of the enemies are Demonic Spiders that can put you to sleep. Also, the second time you have to run through the area, you don't have any partners. You'd better get good at mashing the A button, or just figure out how to avoid them. Chapter 7 is the worst offender. To reach the Moon, you have to find General White. The catch? He goes all over the world and leads you on a wild goose chase until you reach his hut again. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: Sky-Blue Spinies that have curled up into balls are referred to by the game as "pipes". Paipo is the Japanese name for the Spiny Eggs, which may be where the confusion came from. What was supposed to be a reference to the Crystal Palace from the first Paper Mario got mangled into "Goomstar Temple". The translators mistook the "kuri" in "kuristaru" for the Goomba's Japanese name. In the Paper Mario 2 demo, Courage Shells are called "Courage Cola". This is because the words for "shell" and "cola" are similar to each other in Japanese, and got mixed up during translation. | |

Breaking Out the Boss: The Shadow Sirens, led by Beldam, were responsible for the events of the whole game. Their boss, The Shadow Queen, was trapped in a tomb deep beneath Rogueport, essentially making her a Sealed Evil in a Can. Beldam spread word of a great treasure hunt and tricked Princess Peach into getting kidnapped by Grodus and the X-Nauts. Grodus himself believed he would harness the power of The Shadow Queen by using Peach as a vessel, using the Shadow Sirens as henchmen. However, Beldam was the one using him and his army for her own ends of releasing the Shadow Queen. | |

We never do get to see what became of Bowser and Kammy at all during Goombella's travels when she tells Mario what everyone is up to. Heck, the last time they're ever seen in the game is lying in defeat in the Palace of Shadow just before the final boss fight, and they disappear after you leave the room and aren't mentioned at all during the ending. However, this being the constant Big Bad of Mario games, he's bound to return. | |

Sword of Plot Advancement: Every time the Magical Map is presented to the Thousand-Year Door, it provides Mario with directions to the next Crystal Star. It almost wouldn't qualify for this trope, except that it bestows the Sweet Treat ability on Mario. Downplayed with the Yoshi hatchling, who's the Sword of Plot Advancement specific to Chapter 3 — gaining him allows you to finally beat the Glitz Pit's Armored Harriers and gain entrance to the Major Leagues, where the plot thickens considerably. | |

Mosquito Miscreants: Jabbies are mosquito-like insects that reside in the Great Tree alongside the Punies. The Jabbies partnered up with the X-Nauts to take the tree for themselves, and are fought on two sections blocking Mario's progress. | |

Mass "Oh, Crap!" | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_97fa0a10 | comment |
Mass "Oh, Crap!": When the Shadow Queen emerges from her tomb, the sky goes dark to herald her rebirth to the world. Even citizens who know nothing of the terror that slept beneath Rogueport cannot help but feel that something terrible has just been unleashed onto the world. | |

Throw the Dog a Bone | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_98576799 | comment |
Throw the Dog a Bone: Bowser's cutscene after Chapter 6 takes great efforts to remind players that he is formidable even when he is failing at his goals repeatedly and existing largely as comic relief. He intimidates the townsfolk without even trying, he clears a lava-filled training course easily, and he defeats Rawk Hawk in one attack. | |

Heroic Bystander | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_9a2aee13 | comment |
Heroic Bystander: Exaggerated during the final battle, when every NPC in the whole damn world becomes one. Specifically, after the Shadow Queen assumes her true form and reaches maximum power, the Crystal Stars react and fly around the world to the closest inhabited settlement to where each was found (Petalburg for the Diamond Star, the Boggly Tree for the Emerald Star, etc.). The people of those settlements gather around the Stars, realize that Mario and his allies are in danger, and begin to cheer for them, sending every bit of love and support that they can through the gems. This wave of positive energy empowers the heroes and weakens the Shadow Queen to the point of being vulnerable again. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_9aaf8eca | comment |
Crippling Overspecialization: Somewhat literally played with the Hammerman and Jumpman badges—each grants 1 extra damage for either Hammer or Jump attacks in exchange for being incapable of using the other. Their low BP cost (2, compared to 6 for a Power Plus) makes them attractive for boosting some builds, and they are really useful in those Glitz Pit fights where you're asked to not use one or the other type of weapon. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: Some mechanics/badges/etc are hard to get good use out of, but are well worth the effort: The Superguard requires better timing than the standard guard, but nullifies all damage and deals damage to some attackers. The Simplifier badge lessens the strictness of the timing, as well. Koops' purely ground-based offense somewhat handicaps him against aerial foes, though with the right set-up, it's all he needs. Similarly, Ms. Mowz' regular attack pierces Defense. Combined with Power Plus badges and Power Lift, she can obliterate ground enemies. | |

AntiFrustrationFeature | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_9b9435d0 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Feature: At one pivotal point in the Final Boss fight, the game rigs the slot machine to give you a much-needed Shine Sprite Bingo, which restores all your HP, FP, and Star Power. If you miss the Tattle for any enemy there is a limited number of (such as bosses or mini-bosses), the Tattle Log entry will appear in Professor Frankly's wastebasket, meaning you can't accidentally lock yourself out of 100% Completion. Despite being listed under "attacks", tattling does not count as an attack in chapter 3. This is to ensure you are still able to fill out the enemy's tattle log entry even if Grubba gives you the "don't let your partner attack" stipulation. | |

Interface Spoiler | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_9cb3e22e | comment |
Interface Spoiler: Each time you finally get your hands on a Crystal Star, the game will tell you about its special powers in battle and what they do. So when you get the Ruby Star in Chapter 4 only to move on without learning about its abilities, you know something's up. Should Mario have the W Emblem equipped, he will go back to wearing his usual red clothes in the cutscene after defeating the Duplighost. This is a clue that it's not really Mario. A more minor example is that whenever Goombella uses Tattle on an enemy, their place of origin, so to speak, is mentioned in their entry. Because certain enemies can be encountered before then (most notably in the Glitz Pit and the Pit of 100 Trials), this can lead to you finding out about a particular place before you actually get there. On the flip side, not using Tattle on most enemies with limited encounter windows causes their entries to appear in Frankly's trash can. So if you fail to use Tattle on the Shadow Sirens, you may wonder why you get Vivian's entry from the trash can, but not Beldam's or Marilyn's. Courtesy of a minor glitch, if you hire the secret character Ms. Mowz at first opportunity, make someone else the active party member, and select to use an item outside of battle, you'll have the option to use it on someone who hasn't actually joined your party yet (Bobbery). Even though the Magical Map is supposed to progressively change throughout the story, if you look carefully as early as before Chapter 1 starts, you can clearly see that the Map is complete. When the camera zooms closer in on it, you can see every location including Glitzville, the Great Boggly Tree, and the X-Naut Fortress on the Moon. Goombella's Tattles in the overworld has her tell you what's in the area. In the final dungeon, there's a set of corridors that are seemingly spacious and empty at first, and yet Goombella's dialogue tells you to make good use of Mario and his partner abilities, indicating that there's more to these rooms than appears at first glance. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: When TEC is cycling through his cameras during the first Peach segment, one of them shows the top floor of the base with the surface of the moon visible through the windows. In Twilight Town in Chapter 4, a villager makes a wish on the moon not to turn into a pig. When his wish is granted, he asks Mario who he thinks lives on the moon. The two answers are Little Green Men and Princess Peach. While you don't know at this point in the narrative, the latter actually is true - Princess Peach is in the X-Naut Base, which is later revealed to be on the moon. The NPC's response to this answer is pregnant with foreshadowing. In the intro before the title screen, the hooded peddler who gives Peach the chest containing the map is short and hunched over. Beldam fits the bill, and she confirms at the end of the game that she was the one who encountered her. You might not realize it until you actually get the item, but the reply when you are forced to name Doopliss is missing one specific letter or kana. Despite having a Crystal Star on his belt, Rawk Hawk never actually harnesses its power. This is a subtle clue that the star on his belt is actually a fake. | |

There's also a map of the Mushroom Kingdom from the same game hanging on the wall.

Elopement: One subplot involves the daughter of a Pianta mafia don eloping with one of his underlings. The first time you meet, he agrees to secure you a ride to the place where the next Plot Coupon is if you bring them back. On finding them, they return of their own accord and he tells them to get lost but gives them his blessing in a roundabout way. They settle on a tropical island a few Chapters later. Just before Chapter 6, you need a ride once again, so you return and find him sick (literally) with worry about them. One subquest later and you have your ticket, the couple and the Don reconcile and everyone's happy. | |

Elite Mooks: Koopatrols (which have their own elite version, Dark Koopatrols), Elite X-Nauts, Elite Wizzerds, Red Bones, Dark Bones, etc.. Elite Wizzerds deserve their own subsection, as the weakest of the three types of Wizzerd, the Dark Wizzerd, is an endgame mook with both regular Wizzerds and Elite Wizzerds being exclusive to the Pit of 100 Trials. Elite Wizzerds have a defense of 5, tied with Chain Chomps and Moon Clefts for the highest save for the Iron Clefts (who have an infinite defense and are only there as a Skill Gate for the arrival of a partner with an Armor-Piercing Attack), and due to their ability to float, they're immune to a number of your "attack everyone and pierce through defense" skills such as the Super and Ultra Hammers. (Well, the front one still gets hit, but it doesn't hit anyone else). They also have a base attack of 8, tied for third-highest in the game behind Amayzee Dayzees and Piranha Plants, 12 HP (fairly high, especially given that monstrous defense), access to a number of Status Buffs...and can come in groups of up to five, which even for the Pit of 100 Trials is a Wolfpack Boss In Mook Clothing. Even worse, said groups of five commonly carry stopwatches, which can immobilize Mario and his partner... | |

She's a Man in Japan | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_a0955420 | comment |
She's a Man in Japan: Beldam insults Vivian by calling her a man in the Japanese, French, Italian and Spanish versions. Whether this means she is a transgender woman or if it was just an insult is frequently debated note Those who believe it was the latter point out that Beldam specifically called her an Otokonoko after Vivian introduced her sisters and her as the "Shadow Sisters" — with the apparent idea being that Vivian was ugly enough to pass for a man. Mario and Goombella seem to believe the former judging from the tattle log, though whether this is a confirmation or part of the joke is also debated. The aformentioned European localizations generally take the Japanese script at face-value and consider her a transgender woman (the Italian localization actually states it outright, with Vivian's tattle log entry reading "She used to be a man but now she's a woman- and proud of it!"). In lesser known examples, Hooktail is male in the Spanish localization while her brother Bonetail is female in the Japanese, German, Italian, and Spanish versions. | |

Overly Long Gag: In a rare case of one being able to harm you, near the climax of Chapter 2, a time bomb is set off in the Great Boggly Tree. When you reach the base of the tree, the Puni Elder confronts Lord Crump, resulting in her spending some time complaining about her back. At one point Mario needs to help out a pair of newly-wed Piantas with finding their wedding rings. This leads to a scene where the husband is forced to say "I love you" to his wife 100 times, and you have to sit through him saying it. After a while a counter even appears to tell you how many times it's been said. | |

Evil Chancellor | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_a3c0d670 | comment |
Evil Chancellor: In the "Super Luigi" book series, Minister Crepe, who called for help, turns out to have been behind the kidnapping all along. Jolene is an inversion: Although it seems like she was the one who was making the fighters disappear, it was actually her boss, Grubba, who did the deed. And while she was trying to betray him, it was actually due to the fact that she wanted to stop him knowing how much of a scumbag he really was. | |

Averted with Flurrie's Gale Force, which is functionally a multi-target One-Hit Kill attack. Unlike similar attacks in the previous game, it lets you earn Star Points, and nearly every flying or hovering enemy can be affected by it. | |

Had the Silly Thing in Reverse | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_a4883667 | comment |
Had the Silly Thing in Reverse : During Luigi's quest he found out that one of the compass pieces can be received by winning a go-kart race. Having been in Mario Kart so many times, Luigi thought this would be a snap. This is the one story that Luigi actually stays much closer to the truth; as he puts it the karts were much higher in power, and they were stickshifts (something that the karts in Mario Kart do not have). The end result is Luigi going in reverse right into the wall (thankfully not enough to make it undriveable, as he was able to finish the race). The total amount of damages for THAT little stunt was 50,000 coins. | |

Bowdlerization | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: The Boos employed by the Pianta Syndicate had bunny ears in the original Japanese version; essentially, resembling that of the Playboy Bunny. They were changed into cat ears in all other versions of the game; possibly just to remove a reference to an adult magazine, or perhaps to avoid legal problems, since the Playboy Bunny logo is trademarked. In the Japanese version, the home of the bandit that steals your coins in the prologue had a Chalk Outline of a Toad surrounded by dried blood on the floor, implying that a Toad had entered the house and suffered a terrible fate. Mario's "hello" gesture was removed in the European localizations of the game, evidently and most likely due to an unfortunate resemblance to the infamous Nazi salute. Any hint of Vivian being transgender was removed from the English and German localizations. During Chapter 5, Bobbery asks you to find him a bottle of wine in the Japanese version. In the English version, it's a bottle of Chuckola Cola instead. In the English version, one of the answers for Question #1 in Shhwonk Fortress is the "Pickle Stone". In all other languages, the answer is "Luigi's underpants". Before the final boss battle, Mario can choose to surrender and this causes a Nonstandard Game Over. In the Japanese version, he becomes a Brainwashed and Crazy minion slouched over with a vacant and wide gaze. In the overseas version, Mario remains on his defiant pose even though the flashing effect for the Demonic Possession remains. | |

Even as Mario is furious at him when he tries to explain what he had done, the guard pretends to feign innocence. Beldam and the Shadow Sirens. Despite loyally serving and nearly unleashing an unspeakable horror upon the earth, they get off with a few apologies and promises. Doopliss even goes on to be an actor with Flurrie. Cortez never gets called out on the fact that he devoured the souls of several members of the audience to restore his HP. It is never brought up again afterwards and does not serve as an obstacle to his Defeat Equals Friendship with Mario and co. | |

Final Boss | |

Exaggerated with the Final Boss. The Shadow Queen is sealed within a stone casket that can only be opened with a non-lethal human sacrifice. This casket is hidden in a crypt behind a secret door in the innermost depths of the Palace of Shadow, beyond its myriad monsters and mechanisms, which is sealed behind the humongous Thousand-Year Door, which is itself sealed by the power of the seven Crystal Stars. The Crystal Stars have been scattered across the country, and the Magical Map meant to lead the way to each of them was sealed away in a chest that could only be opened by the pure of heart. Didja get all that? Though to be totally fair to the architects, if you couldn't destroy the sealed monster, you'd also want it stuck behind as many locks as possible. | |

Arc Villain | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_ad9559e6 | comment |
Arc Villain: A few Chapters have villains who are threats in their own right but are unconnected to Grodus' plans, with the notable exception being Lord Crump. Chapter 1 has Hooktail, a dragon who eats Koopa Troopas. It's later revealed that she has two older siblings who are connected to the main plot, but she herself seems divorced from it. Chapter 3 has Grubba. He's simply using the Crystal Star to further his youth. He actually has no relation to the main plot outside the Chapter and doesn't appear again after being defeated, being replaced with Jolene who takes over the Glitz Pit. Chapter 4 has Doopliss, who curses the people of Twilight Town to become pigs and steals Mario's name and body. Although he later becomes connected to the main plot when he joins the Shadow Sirens. Chapter 5 has Cortez, who was a pirate captain when he was still alive and guards his treasure and island even in death. Unlike the other examples, Cortez actually does a Heel–Face Turn and helps Mario defeat Lord Crump, who had disguised himself as a sailor. Smorg, the Chapter 6 boss, was originally supposed to be something that Beldam summoned to hinder Mario, but this was cut for some reason, leading to it just being some random menace that showed up to stop the train at Riverside Station and hitched a ride while it was stuck there. | |

Unique Enemy | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_b0e18b32 | comment |
Unique Enemy: While regular Clefts are common enemies, Bald Clefts only appear in one room in Petal Meadows as a scripted tutorial battle, and they never respawn. There is exactly one X-Yux in the entire game, guarding the door to Grodus's office in Chapter 7. Failing the Thwomp quiz will force you to fight two at once, however. Many, many enemies in Glitzville. Examples include Red Spiky Buzzy Beetles, the Red, Green, and White Magikoopas, the Fire and Boomerang Bros, and KP Koopas. Some of them, such as Pokeys, Bomb-ombs, and Dark Koopatrols, also show up in the Pit of 100 Trials. Since all of the Glitz Pit exclusive enemies can technically be fought an unlimited amount of times, they won't appear in Professor Frankly's waste basket once you're done fighting them (meaning if you want to put them in your Tattle Log, you need to either Tattle them the first or second time you go through Glitz Pit - or as a worst case scenario - intentionally lose every match until you record all of the enemies you need). | |

Special Attack | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_b1d7169c | comment |
The audience will cheer Mario on for executing his Special Attacks well—a good performance generates star power (in multiple senses), which Mario needs to fuel his Limit Breaks. Doing well will attract more audience members to the theatre, which can raise Mario's star power further in turn. | |

When Koops is reunited with his father after the first dungeon, he says "Everyone thought your game was over!" This may have been an example at the time, but it no longer remains so. In Super Paper Mario, the common term for death In-Universe is Game Over (although there are some instances in which characters bluntly talk about death). | |

Epic Fail: When asked about Luigi's adventures his "sidekicks" tell Mario that they're pretty much an exaggerated series of this. Except Hayzee. But she's a Cloudcuckoolander from a village full of more Cloudcuckoolander Crazee Dayzees who LOVED his "role" of grass. | |

Lost in Translation | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_b7920c43 | comment |
Lost in Translation: The English localization flubs a lot of references to the original game. Some time after finding Koopook for his Trouble Center sidequest, he will send an e-mail saying he's hiding in a cold location. In the original Japanese and most translations, the location in question is the Crystal Palace from Paper Mario 64. The English localization, however, renders as the completely made-up "Goomstar Temple", losing the Continuity Nod. The final RDM email in the original Japanese script and most translations of the games has a special hidden section found by scrolling down for a long time, which mentions Chuck Quizmo from the first game as well as a recipe. For whatever reason, the English translation removed this section entirely but left in the statement alluding to its existence ("May we meet again... sooner than you think *wink* *wink*"), confusing many players. In the Japanese script, the Chestnut King has the same name as the Goomba King, the boss of the first game's Prologue. If the two are intended to be the same indiviual, this would mean that Luigi is going on an epic quest to defeat the first game's Warm-Up Boss. One of the crows in Twilight Town talks about a friend living in “Mushroom Town�, which is a literal translation of Toad Town’s name in Japanese. An answer for one of the quiz show questions in Shhwonk Fortess is “Mushville�, which is another mistranslation of Toad Town. After finishing Pine T. Jr.'s trouble, he sends Mario an e-mail about how his father found new work in Toad Town, where he takes care of a previously-unheard-of entity named "Bubu". The message was supposed to read that he takes care of Li'l Oinks, the pig-like creatures you could farm items from in the first game, but their Japanese name Būbū-san ended up being translated too literally this time around. An answer for one of the quiz questions is "Kooskoos", which is really meant to refer to Koopa Koot from the original game. | |

Boss-Altering Consequence | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_b915b765 | comment |
Boss-Altering Consequence: The Attack FX R badge changes the sound effect of Mario's jumps and hammer to a cricket sound, which normally doesn't have any practical effect during battle, except against Hooktail. If you attack her with the badge equipped, it will lower her attack and defense as she hates the sound of crickets. The game hints at this by telling you in a letter that Hooktail fears something that starts with "cr" and ends with "ickets." | |

King Mook: Generally much less, with a number of more unique bosses, but some still crop up here and there. Doopliss is basically a Duplighost with a white sheet and some party attire. He also successfully advances his Duplighost powers by switching Mario's identity with his cheap, shadowy doppelgänger. Macho Grubba is the second boss variation on the Spike family, after Tubba Blubba. The Shadow Queen is basically a Physical God version of a Shadow Siren. Downplayed with the Red Bones and Dark Bones, which are each a Palette Swap of a Dull Bones and Dry Bones respectively. | |

Arguably also the two battles with the Dark Bones, too, as they have HP on par with early-game bosses and are among the enemies whose Tattle entries can show up in Professor Frankly's wastebasket. | |

Berserk Button: Implying (intentionally or unintentionally) that Rawk Hawk is weak is a bad move, as he'll either go to great lengths, even cheat, to prevent the accuser from commenting on it as a means of exacting revenge on the accuser, or directly attack the accuser (although the latter did not end so well for him as the person who accused him, Bowser, was more than entitled and justified for saying that). Lucky, the Bulky Bob-omb who runs the lottery, gets very angry if anyone cheats. | |

Chapter 4 is a call back to Chapter 3 in the first game. Both introduce the Hyper enemies who can charge their attacks to deal massive damage. Both are about an unbeatable enemy with a secret that makes them beatable, and that you need the help of a partner whose ability is to make you disappear to get through it. Both also take place in a Big Boo's Haunt setting. Boos are foes in this game, though. | |

Money Is Not Power: Flavio spent his time pre-Chapter 5 bragging about being the richest man in Rogueport. After the events of Chapter 5, he admits he's now the second-richest man in Rogueport. That expedition cost money to set up and not having gained any treasure to make up for it (and also losing his fancy ship) obviously hurt his finances. Flavio doesn't seem to mind, having gained the adventure he sought in the first place. | |

Non-Standard Game Over | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_c03fec8b | comment |
Nonstandard Game Over: Failing to escape the Spike Room in Hooktail Castle in time will cause you to get impaled by the ceiling spikes. If you let the Time Bomb go off in the Great Boggly Tree, you (and everyone inside with you) will get blown up. If you read the diary a Toad ghost explicitly told you not to read during the Excess Express level, he'll show up and kill you. If the Dry Bones in the Palace of Shadow pushes you out of the room, you'll get squished. Agreeing to join the Shadow Queen's side before the final boss fight will cause a Game Over, despite the fact that you're still alive. It's a case of Dub-Induced Plot Hole, as Mario is visibly possessed or brainwashed by the villain in the Japanese version when he gives up. | |

| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_c09dbbbb | comment |
Weaksauce Weakness: Hooktail gets nauseated from hearing crickets (frogs in the Japanese version) due to getting a stomachache from eating one in the past. Equipping the Attack FX R badge will lower her Attack and Defense Power every time Mario attacks, making the boss fight much easier. | |

Generic Doomsday Villain: While the Shadow Queen is directly as well as indirectly responsible for most of the game's events, she seemingly exists just for the sake of the game having a twist; only vague hints of her motives are seen in the Riddle Tower's secret messages. | |

Irony | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: The Duplighost boss does not want you to know his name. But by the time he joins up with Beldam, he's practically begging to be called by name, rather than "freak-in-a-sheet". Poor Doopliss. The Piantas threw Mario in the slammer in Super Mario Sunshine after falsely accusing him of being a criminal. The Piantas in this game are criminals. In Chapter 2, Punio states the secret entrance to the Great Boggly Tree won't be labelled "Secret Entrance", or else it wouldn't be a secret entrance. When you get Flurrie and have to use her power to reveal the entrance, it turns out it WAS labelled "Secret Entrance", complete with flashing lights. Punio, surprisingly, doesn't realize the irony. Mr. Hoggle is a Hot Dog vendor. Pork is one of the traditional meats used in making Hot Dogs. | |

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: The Mario series in general is notorious for this trope. Ever wonder what happened to the X-Nauts? The entire ensemble of party members? How about the species only seen in this game, which were introduced as "Ratooeys", "Doogans", "Punis", and "Jabbis"? What about the name-stealing fiend, Doopliss? Where have they gone? Sure, some of these guys have been referred to in Super Paper Mario and the Super Smash Bros. series in trophy form, but they never appeared again after this game. | |

Baddie Flattery: The boss of Chapter 3, Grubba compliments Mario amid his trash-talking and seems to genuinely appreciate "The Great Gonzales", even in his battle where he turns into Macho Grubba, he still compliments Mario for his showmanship and fighting abilities. Grodus briefly praises Mario for finding all the Crystal Stars for him in The Very Definitely Final Dungeon, albeit in a much more threatening manner. Bowser will be impressed that Mario's managed to stay standing and land hits on him the two times he's fought. Granted, he's fought Mario dozens of times at this point, so he knows all about how hard it is to take him down. | |

Shout-Out: Luigi and the Crazy Cart Race is Kart Racing up to eleven, until you realize that it's Twisted Metal. The Toad who fought the Shadow Queen with a Goomba, a Boo and a Koopa could be this to the Japanese fairy tale of Momotaro, who fought off a demon and its entourage with the help of a dog, a bird and a monkey. Do you really think that Rawk Hawk is an original character? Well, let me tell you something, brother! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK!note This doesn't apply to the Japanese release, where he's called "Gold Hawk" in that language. Chapter 2 has Mario leading a swarm of tiny creatures with flower-like stalks on their heads around to aid him. Sound familiar? In Chapter 4, Mario needs to have Flurrie blow down three structures made of straw, wood and brick. Chapter 4 is also full of pigs if you needed it to be any clearer. TEC-XX's dance with Peach is set to an excerpt from Fryderyk Chopin's Waltz in C♯ minor, Opus 64, No. 2, arranged in the game's soundfont. | |

Crippling the Competition | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_c9954979 | comment |
Crippling the Competition: During Chapter 3 (the Boxing Episode of the game), Mario will receive cakes at two points—if the player chooses to skip them, Shellshock will eat it instead. The first is after defeating The Fuzz, which restores all stats if Mario eats it (HP, FP, and Star Power) or has Shellshock boast how great it tastes. Just before your fight against Chomp Country (notable for having high Attack and Defense), another cake arrives. If you eat the second one thinking it's safe, you're forced to fight the next battle alone, without any of your partners. If ignored, Shellshock takes the poison instead. The poisoned cake turns out to be the work of the champion, Rawk Hawk, in response to a perceived slight against him by Mario and his team. | |

Counter-Attack: The Superguard mechanic allows players to fully negate incoming damage while also dealing a minor hit to physical attackers. It uses the B button instead of A and has a much more strict timing at 3 frames, requiring 2 Simplifier badges to raise that a bit. Not every attack can be parried, and the Japanese version makes several more of them unparriable. | |

Playboy Bunny | |

The Boos employed by the Pianta Syndicate had bunny ears in the original Japanese version; essentially, resembling that of the Playboy Bunny. They were changed into cat ears in all other versions of the game; possibly just to remove a reference to an adult magazine, or perhaps to avoid legal problems, since the Playboy Bunny logo is trademarked. | |

Pro Wrestling Is Real: The main appeal of the Glitz Pit. That said, under Grubba's proprietorship, every match is a Worked Shoot of some kind or another, since Grubba goes out of his way to earn Mario extra enmity whenever he Trash Talks on the Great Gonzales' behalf. For extra drama, Grubba imposes some restriction to be observed during the match if the competitor wants a chance to advance, like forbidding Mario to use his hammer. As a treat to anyone who's made it to a championship match, the "restriction" is that the competitor use a Limit Break at least once. | |

Myth Prologue | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_d00fa9ec | comment |
Myth Prologue: The opening scene begins with a book that tells the story of the ancient city in which the Thousand-Year Door resides. Long ago, a bustling and prosperous town stood tall, before in but a single night, an ominous cataclysm swept over the town and buried it beneath the earth — in time, a small port town was built again over its remains, and though its inhabitants live normal lives in the shady town of Rogueport, the legend that an ancient treasure lies in the underground city beneath is carried among whispers in present day. This is used to segue into Princess Peach visiting the town and encountering a merchant who seems to know a thing or two of said treasure, which leads into the events of the game. This legend also omits several details of the story that are only uncovered across the course of the story: mainly that the cataclysm was the work of a horrifyingly powerful demon sorceress who held a reign of darkness in its aftermath for long before Rogueport was built, and that the titular door is the entrance to the vast palace that was sealed alongside the great demon's spirit by the four heroes who bested her. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: The first fight with Lord Crump in the Prologue is explicitly made to be impossible to lose. Even if you lower Mario's HP to 1 by intentionally jumping into the water repeatedly, he'll automatically by healed to 5 HP when encountering Crump. And since Mario goes first in battle, you'll end up winning with 1 HP even if you fail every action command and block, since Crump has 5 HP and only deals 1 damage. When you enter East Rogueport for the first time, a Bandit will steal all of your coins, which you can retrieve later by finding his hiding place and talking to him. If you have no coins at all when he robs you (only possible by deliberately buying items at the shop in Central Rogueport until you run out), the sequence will play as normal, but confronting him will have unique dialogue expressing his annoyance that you had nothing to steal. Normally when speaking to Luigi for the first time, he'll tell Mario he's in town due to his adventure in the Waffle Kingdom and offer to tell the story if Mario accepts. If you wait all the way until after Chapter 7 to speak to him, he'll instead tell Mario that he's in town to relax at the inn since his adventure has already concluded by that point in the game. You can access the Pianta syndicate headquarters as soon as you complete Chapter 1 if you know the secret code before Ishnail tells you. All the Piantas there have unique dialogue, and Francesca and Frankie are present before they elope. Piercing Blow is a badge that's available to purchase from the shop in Rougeport that allows Mario's hammer to pierce through an enemy's defense. However, the iron clefts in Chapter 3 have infinite defense, so even this badge will have no effect on them. This is to ensure you do not skip getting the Yoshi partner, as his gulp is the only thing capable of hurting them. During Chapter 3, two new fighters join the Glitz Pit to replace Bandy Andy and King K. At this point, you're too high-ranked to fight either one. But if you fall down the ranks by losing, you can fall down far enough to fight them. Even though there's no possible way to see it (due to Yoshi's gulp being the only thing capable of harming the iron clefts, and the following cutscenes preventing you from switching partners), Goombella, Koops, and Flurrie all have different dialogue for checking Rawk Hawk's belt and realizing it has a fake Crystal Star on it. Leading up to Chapter 4, Professor Frankly will tell Mario and his party to look for a warp pipe below west Rogueport to reach Twilight Town, the chapter's setting. Once Mario reaches the pipe and jumps in, the pipe will reject him, at which point Mario must go back to Frankly to learn a workaround. However, the pipe can be encountered earlier if Mario takes the Yoshi partner he recruited in the middle of Chapter 3 exploring in that area, which requires the Yoshi's flutter jump ability to reach. If Mario tries and fails to enter the pipe before dictated by the plot, Mario's active partner will remember this when Frankly instructs Mario on where to go, allowing the player to skip ahead to the workaround. There are two bosses (the first Doopliss fight and the first form of the Shadow Queen) that have plot-important events take place during the fight, but could be brought to 0 HP with certain setups before said events happen. If you do that, they'll inexplicably heal a certain amount and the event will begin. When you recruit Ms. Mowz, she gives you a badge. However, if you happen to have the maximum amount of badges you can carry, then there will be a quick cutscene where she leaves the badge in front of the badge store for you to pick up. Note that the maximum amount of badges you can have is 200 and there are only 85 unique badges, so in order for this to happen, the player would have to go waaaaaaaaay out of their way to grind for them. During the interlude between Chapters 5 and 6, after you get a ticket for the train, Beldam will pop up for a cutscene. While Goombella, Koops, and Vivian will recognize her, Flurrie, Yoshi, Bobbery, and Mz. Mowz will not (as none of them was part of your party the last time you fought her), and wonder who she is. If you happen to do some glitching around and enter Gloomtail's room after defeating Bowser for the final time (the room is inaccessible through normal means), there's a hole in the back area which was used when Bowser jumped down. One Trouble involves rescuing Pine T. Sr., who's gotten himself lost and injured inside the Pit of 100 Trials. He can be found on Floor 18, and if you help him and make it to a floor with an exit pipe (which is every number that is a multiple of 10) he'll automatically head straight to the exit pipe and leave. If you somehow meet enough Movers to skip every exit pipe floor and make it to Bonetail along with Pine T. Sr.,note which requires at least 8 Movers to be found on specific floors, each with a 5.1% chance of appearing to begin with the pre-fight cutscene will include him hiding behind a nearby pillar and shaking in fear just before you fight the boss, and heading to the nearby pipe on his own after you defeat it. Like the first game, Goombella will have tattles for every single area and character that are able to be interacted with. Characters that are only around for a limited time such as ones that only appear during trouble center requests, random passengers on the Excess Express, and bosses such as Grubba and Bowser outside of battle all have unique tattle dialogue associated with them. Additionally, some characters will have different tattle dialogue depending on current story progress. For example, Goombella will have something new to say about Pennington when first meeting him, after he introduces himself and makes Mario his apprentice, after Zip Toad/Doopliss runs away at Riverside Station, and after Pennington reveals he's the curator of Poshley Sanctum. Like the above, these only appear during certain windows of time, so you would only see them if you went out of your way to use Goombella at every possible opportunity. During Chapter 7, Mario needs to get permission from Goldbob to use the cannon in Fahr Outpost. In order to do this, the player, as Mario, must agree to give Goldbob all of the coins they currently have, then go through a bunch of "are you sures?" before Goldbob reveals he was joking and returns your coins along with his permission... unless you don't actually have any coins, in which case Goldbob will make an exasperated comment lampshading it before sending you away. This pretty much has to be deliberate due to how late in the game this event occurs in, as well as the fact that in order to get zero coins, you need to spend exactly enough at shops to get down to that amount (since Mario can't buy anything if he doesn't have enough coins to purchase it). When confronting Grodus in Chapter 8, Mario's partner will come to the realization that they are finally meeting the leader of the X-nauts face-to-face, and address him as such before Grodus introduces himself. Except Vivian, who's already seen Grodus before and already knows exactly who he is. | |

Schmuck Bait: When Hooktail's HP gets depleted, she will attempt to plea bargain with Mario 3 times in succession. Accepting any of the offers will cause Hooktail to attack Mario. Go ahead, ignore the repeated warnings and read the diary of the Toad ghost. You'll get a Non-Standard Game Over for your troubles. In Chapter 3, there is a cake delivered to the locker room just after you accept the 2nd seed battle. Fall for it by eating it, and you won't have your partner for the next battle. Don't, and Shellshocker, the Shady Koopa, will be on the floor, unable to move. Subverted with a similar cake delivered earlier in the chapter; that one will actually recharge your HP, FP, and Star Power. Right before the final boss, The Shadow Queen offers to let you join her in exchange for not harming you. Needless to say, accepting gets you a Non-Standard Game Over. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: There are several instances when Mario can choose between two things to say, and sometimes the second choice is less than morally sound to say the least. If he chooses that option, his partner will chew him out and, in a case of seeking the next course of action, insist on taking the first option. Hilariously, there's exactly one piece of dialogue where the opposite is true: At the beginning of Chapter 3, Mario's partner will ask him what they should do after seeing the (fake) Crystal Star on Rawk Hawk's belt. The default option is "steal that thing!" which results in Mario's partner telling him off for suggesting it, while the second option ("fight our way to the top!", which requires selecting it) results in them agreeing with him. | |

We Cannot Go On Without You: Continued from the original Paper Mario, although unlike the first game, Mario's partners have their own HP and are no longer invincible. If Mario's partners bite the dust, you continue as normal. If Mario goes down, it's Game Over, even if your partner is healthy enough to finish off the enemy party. This also applies to Doopliss when you fight him with Mario's partners against you. If Doopliss is beaten first, you win the fight automatically. | |

Another star is palette swapped for gold and referred to as the "Gold Star", despite it being obvious that the star is a crystal not a metal. Perhaps a slight inversion as the last star is an iridescent white, yet it is the "Crystal Star" not diamond. | |

Magic Map | |

Magic Map: The game begins when Princess Peach is tricked into unlocking a chest with one of these inside. She gets kidnapped for her trouble, but she manages to send it to Mario with the promise of adventure just in time. While mostly blank at first, whenever it's presented to the Thousand-Year Door, new territory spontaneously appears on the parchment (even distinctly modern locations like the Glitz Pit and Poshley Heights) leading the way to a new Crystal Star. Of course, knowing where the Crystal Stars are is no guarantee that somebody else is already after them. | |

SpeechBubble | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_d7b1a73 | comment |
Mario's partners now have back-facing sprites, and just about everyone has a broader range of expressions, allowing them to visibly react to events when they previously didn't in the original game. Case in point, the trailer shows the moment when Mario and a partner (Yoshi in the trailer) witness a Twilight Town resident turning into a pig. In the original game, Mario and the present partner would just have them with the Speech Bubble with an exclamation point with Mario doing a tiny jump and a vocal noise to indicate shock as seen here. In the remake, both Mario and Yoshi are much more visibly expressive. | |

Are You Sure You Want to Do That?: In Chapter 6, Mario has to retrieve a ghost's diary to help its owner pass on. If Mario attempts to read the book, three warnings stating that this is a bad idea appear. If the player insists on reading the diary, the ghost appears and causes a Nonstandard Game Over. | |

Lethal Joke Item | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_da1c64ef | comment |
Lethal Joke Item: One of the Attack FX badges comes in handy when facing Hooktail. Who would've known that a cricket sound effect would be anathemic to a giant dragon? One of Zess T's recipes is Trial Stew, which the game only tells you has "amazing results." Using it drops Mario or his partner's HP to 1 and FP to 0, which puts you in the perfect position for an enemy to finish you off. What keeps it from being a full on joke item however, is it also fully restores Mario's star power, making it a convenient way to use special moves if you follow up with a powerful healing item such as a Jelly Ultra. It also happens to set you into the threshold for Mega Rush. The Double Pain badge is a pure Joke Item on the surface, doubling the damage Mario takes from everything in-game and costs 0 BP to equip like the other "joke" badges. That being said, it makes the Return Postage badge (which is your reward from completing the Pit of 100 Trials) much more effective, since the increased damage Mario will take also means the enemy will receive more damage in return. The best use of this strategy is in Glitzville, since there's a free bed available in between every single battle. | |

Fake Ultimate Hero | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_da3043c5 | comment |
Fake Ultimate Hero: The Super Luigi books novelize Luigi's (mis)adventures in the Waffle Kingdom, but they also change a huge number of details to make Luigi look more heroic than he actually was. Among other things, they claim he played "a purifying earth spirit" in the Jazzafrazz Town play, when he was actually an inanimate patch of grass on the side of the road (but the town was full of Dayzees who idolized nature, and thus he was hailed by them). The end result is that the entire series is largely full of lies that is only loosely based on the truth except for the ending. | |

Malevolent Masked Men: The X-Nauts wear bodysuits with goggles and hats that cover their real appearances, even their scientists wear the same uniforms but with a labcoat. The Shy Guys is a downplayed example in this installment. They aren't fought as enemies to be encountered, only appearing as a rare hindrance or assist during battles. They sometimes run backstage and cause something to fall on either Mario, his partner or one of the enemies. | |

Audience Participation: In-Universe. All battles take place on a stage, with certain factors causing audience members to come in and leave, cheer on the player (which gives them Star Power to recharge special moves; Mario can even show off to the crowd to gain even more Star Power) or even throw things at the player to help or hinder them. Some enemies will even attack the audience (such as Magnus von Grapple's machine gun that fires audience members). | |

The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_e0c470a1 | comment |
The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Combat in the game is presented as a stage production, with combatants as actors on a stage and an audience watching. This set-up provides several comic ways to break the fourth wall In-Universe. The stage equipment can malfunction, causing damage or other effects to befall Mario, his partner, or his enemies. The audience will cheer Mario on for executing his Special Attacks well—a good performance generates star power (in multiple senses), which Mario needs to fuel his Limit Breaks. Doing well will attract more audience members to the theatre, which can raise Mario's star power further in turn. Audience members can throw items at Mario, either helpful items from fans or harmful items from hecklers. Mario or his partner can punish anyone about to throw an item, but be careful not to hit a fan, or even more fans will leave with them. Some troublemakers will even leap on stage to run amok behind the scenes. During a Boss Battle, many bosses will have some way to attack the audience directly—Hooktail, the first boss, introduces this mechanic by leaping off stage and devouring the audience to restore her health. | |

Pass the Popcorn: All fights have an audience watching, no matter what situation they're in. And being in the audience can be hazardous during boss fights: Hooktail the dragon takes a bite out of the audience to restore HP, after which the battle spills into the stands; Cortez does the same, but with the souls of some of the viewers; Lord Crump fires audience members at you from a cannon, and the Shadow Queen subsumes the entire audience to heal herself fully, putting you in a very sticky situation. The first battle against Magnus von Grapple has an interesting audience composition; the left side of the audience is full of Punies, while the right side is full of X-Nauts, as if the Punies are cheering on Mario and company, while the X-Nauts are cheering on their boss, Lord Crump. | |

Diagonal Speed Boost | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_e19da456 | comment |
Diagonal Speed Boost: An unusual example. Because the game was built around an odd perspective, Mario has more x-axis speed than z-axis speed. However, speed is still calculated as a function of inputs in both directions, so provided there's a wall to restrict your movement in the z-direction, it's marginally faster to run at a slight forward diagonal than simply left or right. | |

From Nobody to Nightmare: Mario is this to the X-nauts, as Grodus and co have no idea who he even is until he ends up on their radar due to possessing the map leading to the Crystal Stars. He then proceeds to foil Crump and the Shadow Sirens every time they throw something at him and secures six of the Crystal Stars, enraging Grodus. Grodus, however, flips this trope around near the end of the game by manipulating Mario into collecting the final Crystal Star and opening the door for him, then ambushing Mario near the end of the Palace of Shadow so he can take all seven stars from him at once. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: The remake looks even better than before thanks to the Switch's hardware, stylisticly blending the charming designs and style of the original game (best seen with enemies like Goombas, Koopas, and Boos, who have all reverted back to their "classic" Paper Mario designs) with the papercraft aesthetic established with Paper Mario: Sticker Star; most of the terrain, buildings, and objects are now paper and cardboard constructs, the characters' white outlines are heavily downplayed (now resembling thick pieces of construction paper), and everything now has a textured look to them. The speech bubbles now have a paper aesthetic that matches the rest of the remake and even have a sense of depth instead of being simply flat. The original had some variety among the speech bubbles depending on certain characters, but there is an extra speech bubble type introduced to reflect wrath. When Koopie Koo and Bowser scream in anger, the speech bubble turns from smooth and curvy to jagged and spiked accordingly. The letters also naturally appear much more quickly than in the original game (assuming you didn't press A to make it go faster or B to make it instant). Mario's partners now have back-facing sprites, and just about everyone has a broader range of expressions, allowing them to visibly react to events when they previously didn't in the original game. Case in point, the trailer shows the moment when Mario and a partner (Yoshi in the trailer) witness a Twilight Town resident turning into a pig. In the original game, Mario and the present partner would just have them with the Speech Bubble with an exclamation point with Mario doing a tiny jump and a vocal noise to indicate shock as seen here. In the remake, both Mario and Yoshi are much more visibly expressive. The intro story is now fully animated as opposed to being static images. | |

Expy: Many of the partners fill similar roles to the partners from the original Paper Mario, but one notable minor character is Grifty. Grifty's a green rodent who covers almost all of his body except his face and will share information on local history with you if you can find him at the end of the secret rooftop route in the easternmost section of town — exactly like Moustafa from the original. | |

Nerf | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_e545e190 | comment |
Nerf: Zig-zagged with the hammer upgrades. Stone blocks now require the Ultra Hammer to break, while metal blocks are completely indestructible, with the latter only appearing for a single puzzle in chapter 8. The ultra hammer also can no longer flip over spin jump panels for star pieces. In combat, however, they've been buffed, since they grant an attack which lets you knock an enemy into other enemies with no badges required. Feeling Fine (which makes Mario immune to status ailments) in the original game costs 3 BP and is available as soon as you have five star pieces to give to Merlow. Here, it costs 4 BP and isn't found until X-Naut Fortress, near the end of the game. Spike Shield costs 3 BP (up from 2) and doesn't become available until later in the game without abusing exploits or cheats. Quick Change (lets you switch out partners without using up a turn) goes from costing 4 BP to a whopping 7 BP, although it can be obtained earlier since you now trade star pieces for it. Also zig-zagged with Tattle. Goombario's version is automatic, while Goombella's requires an action command to work. On the other hand, Tattled enemies now have their HP displayed permanently instead of just for that battle only. | |

GameplayAndStoryIntegration | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_e6630c8b | comment |
Gameplay and Story Integration: Chapter 1 takes place before the X-nauts and Shadow Sirens learn Mario has the Magical Map and is hunting the Crystal Stars. Likewise, Chapter 3 takes place in a location where neither party ever learns that a Crystal Star is there. As such, both chapters are the only ones in the game that have nothing to do with the Big Bad's agenda, and neither the X-nauts or the Shadow Sirens appear to antagonize Mario at any point during either chapter. In Chapter 8, Mario's partner will deduce that Grodus is the leader of the X-nauts upon seeing him, but do not know his name until he reveals it, since this is the first time Grodus has confronted Mario and co. face-to-face. Should you have Vivian out as your active partner, however, she is noticeably less surprised since she's seen Grodus before and already knows who he is. | |

Elite Wizzerds deserve their own subsection, as the weakest of the three types of Wizzerd, the Dark Wizzerd, is an endgame mook with both regular Wizzerds and Elite Wizzerds being exclusive to the Pit of 100 Trials. Elite Wizzerds have a defense of 5, tied with Chain Chomps and Moon Clefts for the highest save for the Iron Clefts (who have an infinite defense and are only there as a Skill Gate for the arrival of a partner with an Armor-Piercing Attack), and due to their ability to float, they're immune to a number of your "attack everyone and pierce through defense" skills such as the Super and Ultra Hammers. (Well, the front one still gets hit, but it doesn't hit anyone else). They also have a base attack of 8, tied for third-highest in the game behind Amayzee Dayzees and Piranha Plants, 12 HP (fairly high, especially given that monstrous defense), access to a number of Status Buffs...and can come in groups of up to five, which even for the Pit of 100 Trials is a Wolfpack Boss In Mook Clothing. Even worse, said groups of five commonly carry stopwatches, which can immobilize Mario and his partner... | |

Worthless Treasure Twist: The actual legendary treasure behind the Thousand-Year Door itself, which is the soul of a demon that once ruled the world before being sealed away, making the treasure not so much "worthless" as "should never, ever be found in the first place". However, during the epilogue, Professor Frankly finds another treasure chest behind the titular Door — this chest contains a dried mushroom. This isn't entirely worthless to Frankly from an archaeological standpoint, because this proves that the people of the ancient city ate mushrooms a thousand years ago. | |

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: The two groups of organized crime in Rogueport, the Robbo Gang and the Pianta Syndicate, are rarely seen participating in criminal activities (unless the gambling in the Pianta Parlor is considered illegal). The only actual scene displaying their turf war is in the very beginning of the game in the background where two Pianta guards and two Craws fight in town square. Don Pianta mentions some mafia-esque protection racketeering, but no one else ever brings it up, as the only shops in his turf are owned by him. | |

Plot-Irrelevant Villain | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_f010eba7 | comment |
Plot-Irrelevant Villain: Most of the end of chapter bosses are either independent antagonists or villains that are just tied to that area's plot. Hooktail, the boss of Chapter 1, is a feared, legendary dragon inhabiting a local castle. Even though she's prominently featured on the cover of the game, Hooktail herself doesn't factor into the X-Nauts' plans, and even though she is one of the pets of the Shadow Queen, Hooktail not even once alludes to this. Grubba, the boss of Chapter 3, uses a Crystal Star to stay youthful, but is otherwise divorced from the main plot. Doopliss, the boss of Chapter 4, terrorizes the people of Twilight Town by turning everyone into pigs, and he steals Mario's body, but he's basically just a jerk and does his own thing. He later does become a part of the plot by joining the Shadow Sirens, but it's a minor role, serving as just a mini boss and a nuisance to stall Mario in Chapter 6, and his actions in Twilight Town had nothing to do with Grodus. Cortez, the boss of Chapter 5, is simply guarding his treasure after his death, and fights Mario thinking that he was after it. After defeating Cortez, he helps Mario against Lord Crump. Smorg, the boss of Chapter 6, is a Giant Space Flea from Nowhere that attacks the train during the last part of the trip, but there's no explanation as to what it is, and it has no connection to Grodus either. It was originally going to have a bigger role, being sent by Beldam, but this was cut during production. Bowser spends the entire game being one step behind Mario, moping about how someone else kidnapped Princess Peach this time and replaced him as the Big Bad. He does have a few fights with Mario, but they have nothing to do with the plot, Bowser fights Mario since they do have a history and all. The only plot relevant thing he really does is accidentally saving Mario from Grodus when the latter was just about to finish him off. | |

Check-Point Starvation | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_f09021fe | comment |
Checkpoint Starvation: The Pit Of 100 Trials is the epitome of this. Depending on the player's level dungeon takes hours to complete, and you can't save your progress at all, though one can keep whatever badges they obtain and whatever star points they receive if they leave the dungeon and go save outside. Since you can't flee from the final trial, you can't even escape the pit and keep your level-ups if you can't do it. It does reward you with the most powerful badge ever if you manage to beat it though. | |

Time Keeps On Ticking: At the end of the timed escape sequence from the Great Boggly Tree, the timer does not go off even during the unskippable dialogue sequence between Crump and the Puni elder. Fortunately, Crump shuts it off halfway through it, but if the player was a little slow to get back to the entrance, the precious seconds wasted during the cutscene can be fatal. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: If you don't equip the sound effect badge (either by not finding it or not realizing that it's supposed to be the sound of a cricket), then when you end up going against Hooktail, you'll be surprised by Hooktail's gargantuan Attack Power of 5 and Defense Power of 1, which means this early in the game you can basically be two-to-three shot depending on your health. This made astronomically worse by the fact that the second phase of the boss fight will be harder due to the lack of an audience, meaning you can't charge Sweet Treat for a free heal. Fought this way, she outperforms Magnus Von Grapple (the second boss) in damage, defense, and difficulty. You better get used to that Counter button. It may do no damage, but you won't take 4-5 damage every time she smacks you. Additionally, you had better get down all of the action commands, because most of your attacks will do 0 damage without it. This also means that if you face her this way, Goombella basically cannot be used, as Hooktail will shrug all of the damage right off with that 1 Defense Power. | |

Fire Emblem. The monitor you use to reserve a fight in the Glitz Pit in TTYD is a Game Boy Advance. Pennington also "deduces" that what the young Bob-omb Bub wants for his birthday is a Game Boy Advance "because that's what all the kids want these days". | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: During the final boss battle of Chapter 4, Doopliss has the real Mario's first 4 partners fighting with him. You can wail on them and even K.O. them if you're heartless enough. You can also smash away all the fans in the foyer of the Glitz Pit. If you do this to Rawk Hawk's fans, he'll chew you out for it. Again, the Whacka, and you can whack him eight times until he disappears. Whether he died or simply fled is left ambiguous, though. Several dialogue options can be this, such as terrorizing Punio by saying you'll bully him, refusing to keep Francesca and Frankie's eloping a secret, and the "let there be hot dogs!" option in Glitzville. Needless to say, pretty much all of these will result in Mario's current partner being appalled and yelling at him for his cruelty. | |

| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_f89f164a | comment |
Purposely Overpowered: A Glass Cannon strategy that overpowers even the final boss is feasible just by playing the game normally without any grinding or much sidequesting. Then you unlock the Power Rush badge for purchase at the casino and it gets ridiculous, but it's definitely intentional on the part of the developers given the sheer expansion of the BP cap from 30 to 99 between installments and how the game passive-aggressively calls raising HP a "lack of confidence". | |

Running Gag | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: There's a recurring NPC called Dupree that visits the same places that Mario does. Having Goombella use Tattle on him will yield different information (and some snark) depending on the location. The Travelling Sisters Three (a group of Toad triplets) will also pop up again and again. In every chapter, Mario is called by the wrong name at some point or another. Hard-of-hearing village elders tend to mishear his name, he is forced to use a stage name in the Glitz Pit, and is even mistaken for Luigi by a main character in Chapter 6 (although he eventually realizes his mistake and apologizes). In Chapter 4, his name is stolen. There four black chests with "evil spirits" in them, with each one "cursing" Mario. By the fourth and last, the spirit actually requests that Mario and company let him do his thing like the others. There are a number of times where Goombella will either break the fourth wall or potentially be present when somebody else breaks it. When this happens, she will respond by lampshading it. Peach's offscreen nudity, much to her annoyance. One time she's in the shower, in another she has to change clothes to disguise herself as an X-naut and in the third instance she becomes an Invisible Streaker to sneak around their base. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_fc07d409 | comment |
Mario gets in a fight with the Chapter 4 boss more than any other boss in the game. After beating him once, you're required to go through at least two Hopeless Boss Fights where neither of you can beat each other, and then you rematch him while he has your partners for the real final battle of the chapter. When that's said and done, there's still one last fight with him in Chapter 8 along with Beldam and Marilyn. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: During Chapter 2, Petuni reveals she was going to give her brother a mushroom to eat, only for it to dry out and turn into a Dried Shroom due to the amount of time she and other Punis spent locked in a cage. Much later on during the postgame, Professor Frankly reveals he found a treasure chest in The Very Definitely Final Dungeon containing a Dried Shroom, because the original mushroom had dried out from sitting in the chest for over 1000 years. | |

Not Rare Over There | |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Video Game) / int_fe797340 | comment |
Not Rare Over There: After returning to a mafia Don who was part of a previous quest, you find him deathly ill and his bodyguards promise you the tickets for a trip on the Excess Express you need if you find his daughter and son-in-law (who he exiled at the end of said quest). Upon recovering when they return to his side, he's furious when he hears about said promise... until you state what you were promised; he bursts into laughter and asks how many you want. | |

Talking Is a Free Action: Averted during Chapter 2. The Time Bomb set up by Lord Crump to blow up the Great Boggly Tree will continue to count down even during the cutscene before the boss fight. | |
