About Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is an adventure and Role-playing (RPG) game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo, released on 22 July 2004.

What sleeps behind the door? Time passes, the pages turn… and a new chapter unfolds in an unfamiliar land! Get ready for a two-dimensional role-playing adventure for the ages as Mario returns to paper form to discover a mystery that sleeps behind an ancient, legendary portal called the Thousand-Year Door. The quest is long, the dangers many, and this time, Mario will have to make full use of his papery qualities just to survive.

In the seaside town of Rogueport, Princess Peach acquires a mysterious treasure map said to point to a great fortune hidden behind the fabled Thousand-Year Door, sealed beneath ruins built atop a town that sank long ago. Peach sends the map to Mario, but she is soon kidnapped by an alien group called the X-Nauts who are after the same treasure. Mario travels to Rogueport and learns that the map reveals the locations of seven Crystal Stars needed to open the door. Gathering allies along the way, he sets out to collect the stars, rescue the princess, and uncover the secret of what lies behind the Thousand-Year Door.
