In ''[[Paper Mario]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], partners are either referred to as '''Party Members'''<ref>[http://m1.nintendo.net/docvc/NUS/USA/NMQE/NMQE_E.pdf ''Paper Mario'' instruction manual]. Pages 15, 21, 23, 24, and 26. ''nintendo.com''. Retrieved May 7, 2021.</ref> or '''Mario's Friends'''.<ref>[http://m1.nintendo.net/docvc/NUS/USA/NMQE/NMQE_E.pdf ''Paper Mario'' instruction manual]. Page 7. ''nintendo.com''. Retrieved May 7, 2021.</ref> In this game, Mario can only have one Party Member active at a time. Switching Party Members mid-battle uses up Mario's turn unless he is wearing the [[Quick Change]] badge. Party Members do not have [[Heart Point|HP]]; most enemies' attacks will only target Mario, and the few that can hit Mario's Party Members will simply incapacitate them for a certain number of turns depending on how much damage they took. If the attack is successfully [[Action Command|guarded against]], the Party Member will take no damage. Party Members can be upgraded with [[Super Block]]s, which increases their attack power and makes them learn new moves. Each Party Member can be upgraded twice, first to Super Rank, then to Ultra Rank. Mario must have the [[Ultra Stone]] to upgrade Party Members to Ultra Rank.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Mario's party members are referred to as '''partners''' or '''allies'''. The party mechanics work similarly to the first ''Paper Mario'', but with several changes. Partners now have HP and take damage the same way Mario does. Partners are now upgraded by giving [[Merlon]] three [[Shine Sprite]]s. [[Luigi]] also gets partners throughout the story: [[Blooey]], [[Jerry (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Jerry]], [[Torque (character)|Torque]], [[Hayzee]], and [[Screamy]]. However, the player cannot play as them, for Luigi is not a playable character.
