Super Paper Mario is a RPG-styled platformer developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Wii. The gameplay is similar to the classic Super Mario games, but with the aesthetic qualities of the Paper Mario series, RPG-like elements like character dialogue and puzzles, and a blend of 2D and 3D platforming. The player starts out with only Mario, but unlocks Princess Peach, Luigi, and even Bowser through the game, and can change between them at any time.
The game was originally planned for the Nintendo GameCube in 2006, but Nintendo changed it to a Wii release due to declining GameCube sales.
Emulation Information
Graphic Stretches
All graphics except animations will stretch if you set Aspect Ratio to "Stretch to Window", so some animations may not bound with the background graphics.
Requires Bounding Box
A large portion of this game requires bounding box emulation. Without bounding box emulation, there will be graphical errors, crashes, and other issues throughout the game. It is not recommended to ever disable bounding box emulation while playing this game.
Missing Transitions
Some transition effects and most paper flip animations won't work properly. Disable EFB Copies to Texture Only to prevent that.
Bounding Box Slowdown on NVIDIA Cards
NVIDIA cards are abnormally slow during bounding box effects even at very low internal resolutions when using D3D11. They get dramatically slower as the internal resolutions increase, even though comparable AMD graphics cards suffer no slowdown at all. This is due to Dolphin hitting a slow path on those graphics cards. It is recommended that supported NVIDIA users use D3D12 or OpenGL backends when playing games that require Bounding Box emulation to avoid that.
Problems When Using Older Graphics Cards
Bounding Box emulation requires GPU-specific features that are not present on older GPUs (older than 3rd quarter 2012). As such, graphics cards without Direct3D 11 or OpenGL 4.3 support are no longer supported. In essence, only computers with GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce 400 series and newer, AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5000 series and newer, and Broadwell integrated GPUs (Intel HD Graphics 5300+) are supported by Dolphin for games requiring certain bounding box implementations. Additionally, OS X cannot be used, because no GPU drivers for OS X support the required features as of July 2016.
Using newer revisions with unsupported GPUs or drivers will lead to graphical glitches and softlocks. If game-breaking bugs are experienced, use revision 4.0-5124 or lower as a workaround. For more information, refer to issue 8405, issue 8505, issue 8270.
Problems
Wii Remote Volume
A weird thing happens when turning down the speaker volume by the use of the HOME Menu in relation to Tippi/Tiptron's pointing ability. When the volume is at 0, the volume of Tippi/Tiptron's pointing sound effects are amplified instead of muted. When the volume is maxed out, the audio is barely audible. See issue 9061.
Configuration
This title does not need non-default settings to run properly.

3.0-228 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i3-2100 @ 3.1GHz | ATI Radeon HD 5770 | Perfect Full speed | Gobrin |
3.0-681 | Windows 7 | AMD Phenom II x4 955 @ 3.2GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6870 | Perfect, full speed, use HLE audio to avoid slowdowns | |
3.0-766 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-2450M | AMD Radeon HD 7610M | Perfect Full speed | Chinmorph |
4.0 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i7-3630QM @ 2.4GHz | AMD Radeon HD 7610M | Perfect. 60FPS All the time even at 1080p 4.0 is the fastest build if you faced a slowdown use 3.5 also remember to set power plan to "High Performance" if needed. Setting: Direct3D11, Resolution: Auto (Window Size), OpenMP Enabled and DSP HLE with XAudio2 Backend. The game will freeze sometimes when using one of the latest builds, i can't remember which one tho. to avoid this use 4.0 at least. | Hardlord999 |
