The Paper Parable is a Paper Mario 64 Game Mod based on its inspiration The Stanley Parable, an Environmental Narrative Game.The story follows our protagonist Mario, who's typically jumping and hammer-ing his way through his adventure on order from Princess Peach. But one day, the letters stopped coming by, leading Mario to investigate the oddly absent castle to discover what happened. While that's the set up in terms of story, it being based on The Stanley Parable means there's more to it than that. Especially when you choose to defy the Narrator.Spoilers inbound for most of the story

Morton's Fork: Upon reaching the library, the Narrator advises grabbing a book of your choice and taking it to the chair in the middle to read out. Regardless of what book is chosen, it'll inevitably lead to Mario facing off against a giant pig.

Foul Flower: The Dark Lotus, found in the "Good Ending" path and discussed in another ending. While there's no hint of outright villainy, the narration describes it as the cause behind everyone's disappearance in one path, while another suggests that it put everybody in a coma state and that Mario's just one of many, but that was a Fake-Out Twist courtesy of the Narrator.

Dying to Be Replaced: In one ending, the Narrator tries to invoke this by killing off Mario and restarting the story with Luigi as the main protagonist. Unfortunately for them, Luigi's not a Silent Protagonist, and thus subsequently gets repeatedly ticked off by his narration being interrupted until deciding to work with what's best and bring Mario back.

Fake-Out Twist

Fake-Out Twist: Choosing the red mushroom in the dungeon leads to this type of scene. The Narrator is revealed to be Princess Peach, who trapped Mario in a dream of her own creation after the whole of Mushroom Kingdom was plunged into nightmares by the Dark Lotus, and Mario is soon to awaken to what the Dark Lotus had done. Shortly after she closes her speech, she suddenly turns into the Dark Lotus, with the Narrator calling "sike" on that actually being the true ending.

comment
Overly-Long Gag: The Pit of 100 Trials, unlocked after getting five of the bad endings, is essentially a watered down version of the dungeon without any enemies. Meaning you'll be going through each of the hundred floors while the narrator is singing "100 Tasty Mushrooms" for most of the descent.

Giant Space Flea Out Of Nowhere: Upon reading any of the books in the library, the narration will subsequently lead to Mario facing off against a giant pig in a pseudo-battle that ends with the former curb-stomped by the latter.

Shout-Out: Descending to the dungeon floor on the right side has the narrator give Mario the option of taking either the blue mushroom, or the red mushroom.
