The '''Shadow Queen''' is the final boss of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. An ancient 1,000-year demon from the dark beyond, the Shadow Queen came to the [[Mushroom World]] with designs on enslaving it and becoming its tyrannical ruler. Prior to the start of the game, she destroyed an ancient civilization and began a conquest on the entire world with the aid of numerous monsters and the Crystal Stars. In the end, her plans are ruined, and she is sealed away by four heroes within the Thousand-Year Door. The basis of the game revolves around numerous villains working together to revive her. Each of them has his or her own agenda for doing so, though, but the Shadow Queen represents the source of all conflict for the entire game, making her its underlying true villain.
The '''Shadow Queen''' is the final boss of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. One thousand years before the game's events, she arrived, hoping to conquer the land; she was defeated and sealed away in the [[Palace of Shadow]], where she remained for the last millennium, with the game's main plot centering around the plot by the [[X-Naut]]s to revive her.

According to legends, one thousand years ago, the Shadow Queen simply appeared one day, and waged war against the city where Rogueport now stands. She destroyed the city and all who opposed her, forcing the remaining inhabitants to surrender to the Queen's rule. She transformed a quarter of the city into the Palace of Shadow, and then made plans to conquer the rest of the world with her minions, including the three [[Shadow Sirens]] and her pet dragons [[Hooktail]], [[Gloomtail]], and [[Bonetail]].

We'd do best to just avoid it by hiding in the shadows with Vivian, I think. Boy, and not only is her body scary, but her hands are pretty mean, as well. She has several attack patterns, so watch closely to see what's coming! Now, Mario!  Let's do it!  This is it, our final battle!  Let's give it all we've got! Shadow Queen has about 125 hp and has high defense.

Legend has it that the Shadow Queen simply appeared one day and waged war against the city where Rogueport now stands. The demon destroyed the city, slaughtering all who stood in her path. The war itself would be described as a great cataclysm where the earth shook and skies roared. After an onslaught of attacks, the city eventually sank beneath the depths of the earth. One quarter of the old city was constructed to be the Palace of Shadows where the entrance would be the Thousand Year-Door itself.


With the city in her complete control and a base of operations, the demonic Queen next set her sights on the rest of the world, hoping to plunge it into an endless time of pain and suffering under her control. To this end, she created numerous demonic beasts and spirits to make the core of her army. Among them were the three Shadow Sirens who would be the most trusted followers of the queen. With her new army, the Shadow Queen set them on the surrounding areas of the world. The demons wiped out all resistance as they took the lands by force, killing millions of people in the process. Towns were destroyed and their treasures were stolen to be stored within the palace, soon to become rich with valuables. The Shadow Queen was far from finished though and created three dragons, [[Hooktail]], [[Gloomtail]], and [[Bonetail]]. These dragons became the loyal pets of the queen and quickly spread fear and suffering throughout the world, feasting on numerous people, their corpses soon reanimated to become minions of the queen.
The Shadow Queen then created the [[Crystal Stars]], which hold the essence of the heavens, and planned to use them to remold the world in her desired image. The Queen hides the stars in fortresses and castles across the lands, and creates the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] and the monsters within it to imprison all who would oppose her.


The queen and her army quickly became feared above all else and the mere mention of them sent people into a fearful state. As more areas fell to the Shadow Queen, she next created the [[Crystal Stars]]. These jewels were created to hold the essences of the heavens and would be used to transform the world into a demonic state. These stars were placed in separate areas around the world to exert the queen's influence, with the very nature of countless lands morphing into the demonic image of the queen. Castles and fortresses were constructed to keep them secured, one of which would be known as [[Hooktail's Castle]] which would also soon become a dungeon to torture those who opposed the queen. Realizing that her opposition were still recruiting others, the queen created a dungeon called the [[Pit of 100 Trials]], which eerily resembled a torture chamber where people were tortured and devoured by demonic beasts and Bonetail. At this point in time, much of the world was in ruins and controlled by the queen, millions and millions of innocent lives were long extinguished, and the Queen's forces expanded into unlimited numbers and were roaming around the scarred planet.
While the Queen is near the peak of her power, [[List of implied characters#Four heroes|four heroes]]—a [[Toad (species)|Toad]], a [[Goomba]], a [[Koopa Troopa]] and a [[Boo]]—emerge to stop her by stealing the Crystal Stars and using their power against her. They gathered the stars, invaded her Palace, and attacked the Queen, destroying her body; her spirit survives, however, and is subsequently sealed in the foundations of the palace. Upon death, however, the queen curses the warriors, forcing them to take precautionary measures.


Just when all hope seemed lost, four brave warriors stepped forward to end the reign of the demon once and for all. The four were a Toad with an odd voice from [[Petalburg]], a wise Goomba from [[Boggly Woods]], a scarred and feared Koopa, and a Boo who was once part of the demonic army but left at the urging of the koopa. The Toad from Petalburg was often ridiculed for his voice, but came to be seen as a hero when he defended his town from the Queen's evil forces. The wise Goomba was a resident of the Boggly Woods and used her vast set of knowledge to aid the Punis in defending themselves against the monsters. The scarred Koopa was a drifter who went around the world battling evil. He became feared among the dark army, but eventually a trap was set for him and he soon fell into it. The Boo warrior of the army then left her demonic allegiance and helped the Koopa. The Boo then used her powers to predict that they would need the aid of the Toad with the odd voice and the wise Goomba in order to have a fighting chance against the Shadow Queen. All four came together and made a plan to destroy the queen. They would use the very power she controlled against her, the Crystal Stars themselves. Through numerous trials, the four obtained the stars and ventured into the Palace of Shadow. There they faced the demon in an epic battle. After an intense fight, the heroes destroyed the queen's physical being. Even then though, the queen's demonic spirit lived on and attempted to kill the warriors. The heroes made one last effort and sealed the queen in her own palace.  
===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
<!--Note to fellow editors: While it's still looking better than before, it's still trying to storybook the matter, which per MW:GOOD is something we want to steer away from.-->
After a thousand years, [[Beldam]] enacts a plan to revive her through manipulation of the [[X-Naut]]s, who kidnap [[Princess Peach]], setting off the events of the game. [[Mario]] and his friends collect all seven Crystal Stars, defeat most of the X-Nauts, and pursue [[Sir Grodus|Grodus]] to the Palace of Shadow in order to stop the plot once and for all. Unfortunately, Grodus is able to summon the Shadow Queen and presents Peach as a vessel for her to possess. Now reborn, the Shadow Queen prepares to enact her vengeance, and soon nearly destroys Grodus for thinking he could control her.


Before the seal was complete though, the queen sent a portion of her magic into the heroes. The effects would not be felt while they held the stars, but afterward the heroes would become trapped within black chests. The queen vowed to return one day and will conquer the world when that day dawns. The heroes then realized that the demon's threats may not just be a bluff. They sealed the Palace entrance with the stars and the seal would remain for 1,000 years, the entrance to the palace would then go on to be known as The Thousand-Year Door. Realizing that others may need the stars in case the queen returns, they made a map of the stars in case other heroes would need them. To insure that the map only fell into pure hands, they placed it in a chest that could only be opened by one pure of heart.  
[[File:PMTTYD Shadow Queen Defeated.png|thumb|200px|The Shadow Queen before being sealed.]]
The Shadow Queen then notices Mario and his friends and offers them the position of her servants. If Mario agrees, the Shadow Queen will engulf the world with her foul magic, resulting in a [[Game Over]] for Mario, for Peach, and for the world. When Mario refuses, the Shadow Queen attacks him and his friends, intending to put them in their place, but finds that Princess Peach's body is impeding her power. The Shadow Queen assumes her real form, and for a time becomes impervious to Mario and his friends' attacks. After several further unsuccessful attempts to attack the Shadow Queen, the battle abruptly stops just as Mario and his friends are about to give up hope.


The heroes all went their separate ways, spreading the crystal stars in secluded areas. The Goomba went back to the Boggly Woods where monsters were still attacking the Punis. To help them, the Goomba hollowed out a tree to serve as protection for the Punis. This would go on to be known as the Great Tree and the Punis promised to guard the crystal star in return. The Goomba soon became trapped in the chest, located within the Rogueport sewers. The Boo warrior went toward Twilight Town and hid the star in the [[Creepy Steeple]], then was trapped in a black chest herself within an abandoned building, soon to be a shop in the dark town. The Koopa warrior went to a tropical island to hide the star, but it was stolen by the pirate [[Cortez]]. The Koopa was in such a weak state from his journey that he did not put up a fight. He soon became trapped in the chest within a wreaked ship and Cortez soon lost the Crystal Star among his various stolen treasures. The last hero was the Toad who became exhausted from his journey and his only option was to leave the star in the care of a stranger. The Toad met his inevitable fate of being trapped in the chest while the stranger would eventually be devoured by Hooktail along with the crystal star. The chest containing the Toad would be found by the dark army and locked away within Hooktail's castle to ensure that one of the heroes who destroyed their dark master would not be released.  
However, the Crystal Stars manage to travel to their home locations, allowing the people of each area to communicate with Mario. The goodwill and wishes of people the world over are enough to suppress the Shadow Queen's possession of Princess Peach; she regains control of her body long enough to give Mario all her remaining power. Restored, Mario and his partners resume their battle against the Shadow Queen; they are able to defeat and destroy her forever, and Peach regains control of her own body once again.


While the war finally seemed to be over, there were other plans in effect to insure that the demon would return to the world. The Shadow Sirens began to spread rumors of a great treasure hidden in the earth beneath the location of the old city. People then constructed a [[Rogueport|town over the city]], which soon became filled with thugs and robbers, hoping to claim the treasure for themselves. None of them knew that the treasure was actually a demon and that the rumor of the treasure was nothing more than a ruse in part of an insidious plot.

The Shadow Queen, in her possessed Princess Peach form, appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|Spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Her connection to the Shadow Sirens is given an indirect reference in her unlock requirements, which requires Vivian's spirit to be summoned alongside a Gengar spirit core.
One thousand years pass and the warriors, the Shadow Queen and their great battle fade into nothing more than a legend. The seal on the palace door also begins to fade, and the Shadow Queen's servants, the Shadow Sirens, know the time to release their queen is coming. In preperation to release their queen, the [[Shadow Sirens]] join the [[Secret Society of the X-Nauts|cult of the X-Nauts]]. The X-Nauts are a criminal organization of unknown origin that exists to conquer the world. With this information [[Beldam]], the head of the Shadow Sirens, manages to convince the [[X-Naut]]s master [[Sir Grodus]] to seek out the Crystal Stars and use them to release the Shadow Queen. Grodus, who hopes to rule the world, believes that by releasing the Shadow Queen, he will be able to control her and use her to fulfill his dream. This is all a lie by Beldam, though, just to get Grodus to help, unaware that the Shadow Queen is an evil beyond any form of control.  


With the X-Nauts playing into her hands, Beldam comes into possession of the chest that contains the Magic Map. She gives it to Grodus and tells him that it is be the ideal way of finding a pure maiden. Beldam knows that if the queen returns to full power, a vessel is needed. The vessel needs to be one of pure origin and seeing how the chest can only be opened by someone like that, it is the perfect way to find the maiden. Grodus likes the plan and has Beldam disguise herself as a merchant selling various items they looted while looking for people to open the chest. Eventually Beldam finds the right person to open it who turns out to be [[Princess Peach]] of the Mushroom Kingdom. Beldam finds the maiden, but is unable to abduct her then because of too many witnesses. Peach in the meantime mails the map to Mario to aid in searching for the treasure. As a result, Grodus sends his army to abduct the princess and search for the map.
==General information==
===Powers and abilities===
[[File:PMTTYD Shadow Queen Battle.png|thumb|left|200px|]]
The Shadow Queen is an immortal demon, having survived for a full thousand years while being sealed in the Palace of Shadow. She can also possess other people, and has a variety of magic at her disposal, which she uses to create powerful creatures and objects such as the three dragons and the Crystal Stars. However, her vessel may be able to suppress or co-opt her influence temporarily if they possess particularly strong willpower.; near the second half of the final battle, Princess Peach manages to regain control long enough to fully heal Mario and his party.


Beldam resides in the shadows of the organization, making sure that everything is going to plan. With the seal on the Thousand-Year Door weakening and Grodus's intellegence at her side, the queen's resurrection seems assured. Attempting to collect the stars the X-Nauts are foiled at every turn by the hero [[Mario]] and his friends (including [[Vivian|another traitor]] to the Queen). Eventually Mario after defeating Grodus's second in command [[Lord Crump]] and shutting down the [[X-Naut Fortress|X-Naut base]], manages to claim the last Crystal Star. In the meantime, Beldam abducts Frankly and has him locked in a secluded area and Grodus has Doopliss disguise himself as the aged professor. In this guise, he is able to convince Mario to open the door and allow entry for Grodus. Mario does and goes after Grodus who, along with a kidnapped Princess Peach, had entered the [[Palace of Shadow]] shortly after Mario cracked the seal on it with the Crystal Stars. Eventually after making his way through the palace traps Mario encounters and battles Grodus. When Grodus is defeated he chooses not to accept it and uses the Princess as a hostage, it is only with the intervention of [[Bowser]] that Peach is saved from harm. Unfortunately Bowser engages Mario and his friends in battle along with his assistant [[Kammy Koopa]], this distracts Mario and co. long enough for Grodus to escape with Peach to the Queen's chamber. After Mario defeats Bowser and Kammy he goes after Grodus and corners him in the chamber, there it is revealed why Grodus needs the Princess. It seems the Shadow Queen needs a body to be revived fully and Grodus plans to use Peach as the Queen's host body.
In battle, while in her true form she is immune to normal and [[Piercing attack|defense-piercing attacks]], and can only be made vulnerable with the power of the Crystal Stars. She is able to use her hands to drain the health of her enemies and pierce their [[defense]]s; they are also capable of smashing opponents to the ground, and are considered separate enemies that can be targeted individually. When the hands defeated, the Shadow Queen can revive them the following turn. The Shadow Queen is also able to strike her opponents with lightning that pierces her target's defenses. When low on health, the queen will often resort to attacks that induce [[Poison (status effect)|poison]], [[Confused|confusion]], or [[Allergic|allergies that prevent status changes]].


[[Image:Shadow_Queen.JPG|thumb|left|The Shadow Queen and Shadow Peach.]]
One of the Shadow Queen's stronger attacks is the use of several shadowy hands that come up from the ground and drag Mario or one of his partners down into the shadows and damage them with several attacks or stampede them for heavy defense-piercing damage. The queen will also attack the audience members with these hands to drain their energy to restore herself to full health and power. Her strongest attack is a series of dark energy waves that hit Mario and his partner for heavy damage, but this attack takes a turn to [[Charged|charge]] up, allowing Mario to avoid it with [[Vivian]]'s [[Veil]] ability. Additionally, the Shadow Queen also has the ability to temporarily raise her [[POW-Up|attack]] and [[DEF-Up|defense]] by 3.
Summoning the Queen, Grodus presents her with Peach whom she then possesses, her summoning engulfing the world in darkness. Grodus, thinking the Queen is under his control because he revived her, orders her to destroy Mario. The Queen, insulted by Grodus thinking her to be a slave, blows apart his robotic body. The Shadow Sirens then appear, and Beldam explains to the Shadow Queen that they created the myth of an ancient treasure and tricked Grodus into reviving her. The Shadow Queen then sees Mario, and offers him a choice of being her servant, which he refuses (the player can choose yes, but it will result in an instant [[Game Over]]). She then attacks Mario, and while the fight is not too hard at first, the Shadow Queen eventually becomes invincible. None of Mario's or his companion's attacks are able to do any damage to the Queen and all Mario can do to survive is to wait until the Crystal Stars come out in response to the evil in the area.  


[[File:SQ3.png|thumb|200px|The Queen before being perished.]]
===Personality===
Once the Crystal Stars appear, they transport themselves to their respective locations, one per location (except the last Crystal Star appears in Fahr Outpost, rather than the Moon). They then allow the people in that area to communicate to Mario. Once this is discovered, the friends who Mario had made during the course of his journey encourage him with their pleasant thoughts, which are communicated through the Crystal Stars. This distracts the Shadow Queen long enough for Peach to gain momentary control and give Mario all her power (restoring his Star Abilities in the process). Receiving full power, Mario can now harm the Shadow Queen and the true battle begins. After a lengthy and intense showdown, the demon is defeated and she expresses disbelief at how she could be beaten by such beings after waiting years to be revived. She screams as her life force is drained and her spirit destroyed and is sent to the netherworld. Peach is released perfectly unharmed, while the rest of the Queen's followers flee and eventually turn good all together. With the queen finally vaporized, the world enjoys a sense of peace with her army and influence gone at last. Mario, Peach, and all their friends then go back to Rogueport to celebrate.
[[File:ProperPlace.png|thumb|200px|Shadow Queen refusing to be controlled by [[Sir Grodus]]]]
<br clear=all>
The Shadow Queen is a demon who cares only for herself and her aspirations, particularly conquering the world and remaking it in her image; she seems to rule her followers through fear rather than loyalty, as she often uses her powers to intimidate them. The Shadow Queen is motivated by power and pride above all else, and is not afraid to assert her authority over anyone she sees as weak or insubordinate; despite Sir Grodus playing a major role in her unsealing, she blasts his head off for daring to suggest that she obey him. She then takes on Mario and his party, believing them to be too weak to handle her.


===''Super Mario-Kun===
Some of the Shadow Queen's speech and behavior vary somewhat between the Japanese and English versions of the game. In the Japanese version, she speaks in a considerably more down-to-earth manner. For example, when she sees Mario and his party members, she describes them as looking "agreeable", and claims she will "let bygones be bygones" when offering them a second chance to serve her. In the English version, she speaks more formally, and is more condescending, backhandedly describing Mario and his party members as looking weak but possibly useful.

{{br}}
The Shadow Queen also appears in the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' manga adaptation of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'''s plot.


==Personality==
===Physical description===
Like many Mario villains within the series, the Shadow Queen is shown to be a cold and calculating villain who cares for nothing but power and control. She is a highly sadistic, power hungry, and ruthless demon whose actions have led to the destruction of entire lands and the murders of millions. She is shown to be one of the more disturbing villains within the series as she has been known to be a complete monster, devoid of any type of kindness or goodness, nearly killing Grodus without a second thought even after he revived her. Unlike some of the other villains, the Shadow Queen possesses no comical undertones whatsoever and only has a sadistic and dark sense of humor. While it is unknown if she instructed Beldam to revive her, the Shadow Queen in essence is responsible for all the events in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. Many of the monsters Mario fought were part of her army, and her most loyal followers were the ones manipulating the course of events to revive her.
While possessing Peach, the princess's skin turns paler with dark makeup, and her dress becomes dull purple with white detailing. She wears a similarly-colored cloak with a high collar; the collar causes her hair to appear significantly shorter as well. Peach's crown and jewelry turn red and take a similar shape to those of the Shadow Queen; her face also takes on a more cruel expression.  


In addition to being a demon from the dark depths, the Shadow Queen is highly sadistic as all her strongholds and fortresses are overflowing with thousands of mutilated corpses. The corpses were so mutilated that only the skeletons of their former beings were left, their only purpose left was to serve the very being that murdered them. In addition to this, the demon was also in control of the Pit of 100 trials, which eerily resembled a torture chamber. This all contributed to her sadistic personality and thirst for violence. Her evil and power seemed to possess no limits as she created demonic armies, three fierce and immortal dragons, and even the Crystal Stars themselves. The Crystal Stars seem to have unlimited power and taking into account that they represent only portions of the queen's power, her powers seem nearly god like. After years of her reign of terror, her reputation became so horrible and well known, that people shuddered at the mere mention of her or any of her followers and monsters.  
In her true form, the Shadow Queen appears as a shadowy purple demon, with a "starry" body that takes on an elongated form during cutscenes and a spiral-shape during the final battle. Her hair underneath her massive crown is a grayed purple, and her "face" only has small pale lips visible, similar to the Shadow Sirens; in ''Super Mario-kun'', she possesses a large mouth with jagged teeth as well as big, scowling blank eyes. The Shadow Queen has large hands that only appear connected during cutscenes, and are shown as disembodied during the battle.


She seems to be so evil, that her very presence brings a horrible aura as well as darkness in the skies. Her palace and even the Thousand-Year Door itself all have a horrible feeling and even the thugs of Rogueport stay away from the door due to the feeling it evokes. Unsurprisingly, the queen was able to instill massive fear in not just the world itself, but her followers as well. While the demon's followers are shown to be loyal, this seems to be as a result of fear rather than respect. Even after her first defeat, her minions, the Shadow Sirens, attempted to revive her by using other villains. It is later shown that they turn good after her destruction. This hints that they were never truly evil, but were afraid of the queen's wrath should she return without their assistance. Other than the stories told within the game, not much more is known about the demon and it seems that she has done nothing else within her existence other than creating destruction, chaos, and mass murder. As of now, it has been stated that she has been defeated by Mario and sent to the [[netherworld]] for all eternity.

The Shadow Queen, being an ancient demon, is in control of numerous powers. At her full power, she is completely invincible (even attacks that pierce defense don't work on her), and can only be made vulnerable with the power of the Crystal Stars. In her spiritual form, she is able to use her hands to drain the life force of her enemies. This damages her opponents while at the same time giving her energy and also pierces their defense. In addition to this attack, her arms are also capable of smashing opponents to the ground. Her hands are considered separate enemies. However, whenever they're defeated, the Shadow Queen revives them a turn later. The Shadow Queen is also able to strike her opponents with lightning, an attack that is difficult to avoid due to how fast it is implemented and pierces Mario and his companion's defenses. When in a dire situation, the queen will often resort to poison, confusion, or allergic toxins. One makes her opponent lose health every turn, another makes her opponent so incapacitated that he or she will often attack their own allies or miss an attack all together, and the last one makes her opponent resistant to status changes, thus making Mario and his partners unable to use [[Power Lift]] or a [[Boo's Sheet]].

One of the most harmful attacks of the queen is when she summons upon dozens of demonic hands to come up from the ground and drag her victims down to be issued a large beating. A even stronger attack with her dead hands is when she uses them to stampede Mario or his partners, which if not protected against can deal 12 damage. Her dead hands can pierce defense. The demonic queen used this early in the battle with Mario to murder the audience members and drain their life force to give her full health and power. Another very harmful attack is when the queen uses one full turn to build up energy and then release demonic energies at her enemies. This attack alone can take off a large portion of Mario's health. Her strongest attack consists of sending out black waves of darkness, which hits Mario and his party member, but this attack takes a turn to charge up before she can use it, allowing Mario avoid it with [[Vivian]]'s [[Veil]] ability. The Shadow Queen also has the ability to temporarily raise her attack and defense by noticeable amounts, and when the queen has her attack and defense raised, she is able to do the Megawave, a special and powerful attack reminiscent of Mario's own [[Supernova]] created when the queen charges and boosts her attack and defense power by 3, dealing 17 damage, and, if the player is using the P-Up, D-Down badge, the damage can be devasting, dealing up to 20 (if the player uses 3 P-Up, D-Down badges). While not considered to be a battle power, the queen also holds the ability to possess other beings for her own uses. The Queen seems to be immortal. She holds the abilities of creating unlimited amounts of demonic monsters and other spirits to do her bidding.

==Trivia==
*Some of the Shadow Queen's speech and behavior varies somewhat between the Japanese and English versions of the game. In the Japanese version, she speaks in a far more down-to-earth manner. For example, when she sees Mario and his party members, she describes them as looking "agreeable," and when she offers them a second chance to serve her, she says if they agree she will "Let by-gones be by-gones." In the English version, she speaks more formally, and is more condescending, describing, backhandedly, Mario and his party members as looking weak, but possibly useful, and when she sees Beldam she says "what ages have past."
*Her text box graphic is the same as [[Bonetail]]'s, as well as [[Mimi]]'s true form in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.
*The Shadow Queen recognizes [[Beldam]] and [[Marilyn]], but not their sister, [[Vivian]].
*Despite being the final boss and the game being able to be resumed from after she is defeated, the Shadow Queen only offers one star point upon defeat. This is also true for Bonetail.

—Shadow Queen, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

The Shadow Queen is the final boss of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. One thousand years before the game's events, she arrived, hoping to conquer the land; she was defeated and sealed away in the Palace of Shadow, where she remained for the last millennium, with the game's main plot centering around the plot by the X-Nauts to revive her.

History

Background

According to legends, one thousand years ago, the Shadow Queen simply appeared one day, and waged war against the city where Rogueport now stands. She destroyed the city and all who opposed her, forcing the remaining inhabitants to surrender to the Queen's rule. She transformed a quarter of the city into the Palace of Shadow, and then made plans to conquer the rest of the world with her minions, including the three Shadow Sirens and her pet dragons Hooktail, Gloomtail, and Bonetail.

The Shadow Queen then created the Crystal Stars, which hold the essence of the heavens, and planned to use them to remold the world in her desired image. The Queen hides the stars in fortresses and castles across the lands, and creates the Pit of 100 Trials and the monsters within it to imprison all who would oppose her.

While the Queen is near the peak of her power, four heroes—a Toad, a Goomba, a Koopa Troopa and a Boo—emerge to stop her by stealing the Crystal Stars and using their power against her. They gathered the stars, invaded her Palace, and attacked the Queen, destroying her body; her spirit survives, however, and is subsequently sealed in the foundations of the palace. Upon death, however, the queen curses the warriors, forcing them to take precautionary measures.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

After a thousand years, Beldam enacts a plan to revive her through manipulation of the X-Nauts, who kidnap Princess Peach, setting off the events of the game. Mario and his friends collect all seven Crystal Stars, defeat most of the X-Nauts, and pursue Grodus to the Palace of Shadow in order to stop the plot once and for all. Unfortunately, Grodus is able to summon the Shadow Queen and presents Peach as a vessel for her to possess. Now reborn, the Shadow Queen prepares to enact her vengeance, and soon nearly destroys Grodus for thinking he could control her.

The Shadow Queen then notices Mario and his friends and offers them the position of her servants. If Mario agrees, the Shadow Queen will engulf the world with her foul magic, resulting in a Game Over for Mario, for Peach, and for the world. When Mario refuses, the Shadow Queen attacks him and his friends, intending to put them in their place, but finds that Princess Peach's body is impeding her power. The Shadow Queen assumes her real form, and for a time becomes impervious to Mario and his friends' attacks. After several further unsuccessful attempts to attack the Shadow Queen, the battle abruptly stops just as Mario and his friends are about to give up hope.

However, the Crystal Stars manage to travel to their home locations, allowing the people of each area to communicate with Mario. The goodwill and wishes of people the world over are enough to suppress the Shadow Queen's possession of Princess Peach; she regains control of her body long enough to give Mario all her remaining power. Restored, Mario and his partners resume their battle against the Shadow Queen; they are able to defeat and destroy her forever, and Peach regains control of her own body once again.

The Shadow Queen also appears in the Super Mario-kun manga adaptation of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's plot. As with most characters in the manga, she displays more of a comic side.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

The Shadow Queen, in her possessed Princess Peach form, appears as a Spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Her connection to the Shadow Sirens is given an indirect reference in her unlock requirements, which requires Vivian's spirit to be summoned alongside a Gengar spirit core.

General information

Powers and abilities

PMTTYD Shadow Queen Battle.png

The Shadow Queen is an immortal demon, having survived for a full thousand years while being sealed in the Palace of Shadow. She can also possess other people, and has a variety of magic at her disposal, which she uses to create powerful creatures and objects such as the three dragons and the Crystal Stars. However, her vessel may be able to suppress or co-opt her influence temporarily if they possess particularly strong willpower.; near the second half of the final battle, Princess Peach manages to regain control long enough to fully heal Mario and his party.

In battle, while in her true form she is immune to normal and defense-piercing attacks, and can only be made vulnerable with the power of the Crystal Stars. She is able to use her hands to drain the health of her enemies and pierce their defenses; they are also capable of smashing opponents to the ground, and are considered separate enemies that can be targeted individually. When the hands defeated, the Shadow Queen can revive them the following turn. The Shadow Queen is also able to strike her opponents with lightning that pierces her target's defenses. When low on health, the queen will often resort to attacks that induce poison, confusion, or allergies that prevent status changes.

One of the Shadow Queen's stronger attacks is the use of several shadowy hands that come up from the ground and drag Mario or one of his partners down into the shadows and damage them with several attacks or stampede them for heavy defense-piercing damage. The queen will also attack the audience members with these hands to drain their energy to restore herself to full health and power. Her strongest attack is a series of dark energy waves that hit Mario and his partner for heavy damage, but this attack takes a turn to charge up, allowing Mario to avoid it with Vivian's Veil ability. Additionally, the Shadow Queen also has the ability to temporarily raise her attack and defense by 3.

Personality

The Shadow Queen is a demon who cares only for herself and her aspirations, particularly conquering the world and remaking it in her image; she seems to rule her followers through fear rather than loyalty, as she often uses her powers to intimidate them. The Shadow Queen is motivated by power and pride above all else, and is not afraid to assert her authority over anyone she sees as weak or insubordinate; despite Sir Grodus playing a major role in her unsealing, she blasts his head off for daring to suggest that she obey him. She then takes on Mario and his party, believing them to be too weak to handle her.

Some of the Shadow Queen's speech and behavior vary somewhat between the Japanese and English versions of the game. In the Japanese version, she speaks in a considerably more down-to-earth manner. For example, when she sees Mario and his party members, she describes them as looking "agreeable", and claims she will "let bygones be bygones" when offering them a second chance to serve her. In the English version, she speaks more formally, and is more condescending, backhandedly describing Mario and his party members as looking weak but possibly useful.

Physical description

While possessing Peach, the princess's skin turns paler with dark makeup, and her dress becomes dull purple with white detailing. She wears a similarly-colored cloak with a high collar; the collar causes her hair to appear significantly shorter as well. Peach's crown and jewelry turn red and take a similar shape to those of the Shadow Queen; her face also takes on a more cruel expression.

In her true form, the Shadow Queen appears as a shadowy purple demon, with a "starry" body that takes on an elongated form during cutscenes and a spiral-shape during the final battle. Her hair underneath her massive crown is a grayed purple, and her "face" only has small pale lips visible, similar to the Shadow Sirens; in Super Mario-kun, she possesses a large mouth with jagged teeth as well as big, scowling blank eyes. The Shadow Queen has large hands that only appear connected during cutscenes, and are shown as disembodied during the battle.

Tattle That's the Shadow Queen! Wow, she's scary… but we gotta hold our ground! Max HP is 150, Attack is 7, and Defense is 1. She'll use lightning magic and boost her own Attack and Defense power. And, if she uses her breath on us, we could be poisoned, confused, or lose power-ups! But...the worst is when she saves energy for a big attack! That… is… GNARLY! We'd do best to just avoid it by hiding in the shadows with Vivian, I think. Boy, and not only is her body scary, but her hands are pretty mean, as well. She has several attack patterns, so watch closely to see what's coming! Now, Mario! Let's do it! This is it, our final battle! Let's give it all we've got!
