 The story focuses on [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]], and [[Luigi]] journeying across various dimensions to stop a villain named [[Count Bleck]] from destroying all of existence. In addition to the four playable characters are fairy-like [[Pixl]]s that grant the main party members various extra abilities, such as [[Cudge|hammering objects]] or calling up a [[Barry|temporary shield]]. As the players defeat enemies, they accumulate points and level up, making their own attacks stronger.
-''Super Paper Mario'' has a distinct visual identity within ''Paper Mario'' and the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise as a whole. While it retains the look of its predecessors for the playable characters, returning enemies and items, the game experiments with novel art styles for the diverse dimensions featured and their inhabitants, which are in general built from more geometric, abstract shapes and psychedelic colors, patterns and gradients. This style, coupled with elements such as the rectangle selection effect for warping and teleporting characters and the line-by-line then color fill animation for appearing stage objects, seem to be inspired by digital graphics editing. Writing-wise, the game maintains the humorous dialogue and occasional pop culture references familiar to the series, contrasting with the more somber and serious tone of the main plotline.
+''Super Paper Mario'' has a distinct visual style among the ''Paper Mario'' games. While most characters, enemies and items returning from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' retain their appearance, the game utilizes very abstract, inorganic shapes for its new character designs, which are assembled from simple polygons, circles and lines. Its environments are equally geometric, and have tile-based layouts. For coloring, gradients, patterns and psychedelic colors are common for both characters and backgrounds. This visual direction, coupled with animations such as the rectangle selection effect for warping characters and color fill effect for appearing stage elements, seems to be inspired by digital graphics editing rather than traditional art media, as is the case for the rest of the series.
+The game was originally planned for a 2006 release on the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and the newer Wii console, but it was pushed to the latter exclusively. Motion controls were added to certain gameplay features, pushing the release date back to April 9, 2007 for North America, April 19, 2007 for Japan, and September 14, 2007 for Europe, and September 20, 2007 for Australia. The game was re-released for the [[Wii U]] [[Nintendo eShop#Wii U|eShop]] in North America on June 16, 2016, in Japan on August 3, 2016, in Europe on August 11, 2016, and in Australia on August 12, 2016; however, the digital re-release was eventually removed from the Wii U eShop after its discontinuation on March 27, 2023, making it no longer possible for players to purchase the game, although players who purchased the title before this date can still play it as long as it is on their Wii U device.

 *Like the first two games, the Chapter 5 boss is located in a cave.
 *Both ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' and ''Super Paper Mario'' feature a card key system somewhere. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', it is located in X-Naut Fortress. In ''Super Paper Mario'', it is located in Floro Caverns. The design of both of them is also similar.
+*The Tattle for [[Goomba]]s references the one in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. In the Japanese version, this is a throughline to the original ''Paper Mario'', whereas the English localizations lost the direct quotation.

-===Through the platform===
+===Clipping through objects===
-The player must be Luigi and must be under a platform moving down. To start the glitch, Luigi must high jump and hit the platform moving down. The platform will keep moving, and when Luigi starts falling, he should jump immediately. Luigi should be on the platform.
+If Mario flips dimensions, goes beside a slanted object, and flips back into 2D, he is able to walk through the object.
 ===Infinite jump glitch===
 Using Mario and [[Thudley]], the player should [[Ground Pound]] with the {{button|wii|1}} button, and just as Thudley's ground pound reaches maximum height, cancel it and flip to 3-D. The mechanic of jumping in midair after flipping allows this trick to be performed repeatedly to gain height and distance.
