Paper Mario, known as Mario Story (マリオストーリー Mario Sutōrī) in Japan, is a role-playing game that was released for the Nintendo 64, and later for the iQue Player and Virtual Console. The gameplay is a blend of traditional Japanese role-playing games and Mario-esque platforming features; Mario has the ability to jump in both the overworld and in battle, and jumping remains one of the most important actions in the game. The player controls Mario and a party of followers as they journey through the Mushroom Kingdom, exploring dungeons, managing stats, and battling enemies. The title refers to the game's arts and crafts aesthetic; nearly every character in the game is drawn as a flat 2D sprite, revealing itself as paper-thin when turning around, and many elements of the environments are also depicted 2D sprites.
