Paper Mario, known in Japan as Mario Story (マリオストーリー or Mario Sutōrī), is a console role-playing game video game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 game console. It was first released in Japan on August 11, 2000, in North America on February 5, 2001, and in Europe and Australia on October 5, 2001. Paper Mario was re-released for Nintendo's Virtual Console in 2007.

Paper Mario is set in the Mushroom Kingdom as the protagonist Mario tries to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. To do so, he must locate seven "Star Spirits" to negate the effects of the captured Star Rod, which grants invincibility to Bowser. The player controls Mario and a number of partners to solve puzzles in the game's overworld and defeat enemies in a turn-based battle system. The battles are unique in that the player can influence the effectiveness of attacks by performing required controller inputs known as "action commands."

Paper Mario is the first installment for the Mario role-playing games Paper Mario series and is the predecessor to the GameCube game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and the Wii game Super Paper Mario. The game received a positive reaction from the media, attaining an aggregate score of 88% from Game Rankings and 93% from Metacritic.It was rated the 63rd best game made on a Nintendo system in Nintendo Power's "Top 200 Games" list in 2006.

Problems

Glitchy Select File Menu

The boxes containing each file in the Select File menu are glitchy when changing selections. Disabling Enable Dual Core will resolve this. Refer issue 7143.

Template:SFreeze when creating save dataTemplate:/s

Booting the game for the first time (or when no save data exists) will freeze Dolphin at the "You need classic controller" screen, but it didn't freeze. The game is creating the save file, but a problem with Dolphin make that process take much more time than on a real Wii, taking around 5 minutes to complete. After save data creation finished, Dolphin will unfreeze and the emulation will resume. To avoid this, turn off any intrusive virus scanners that scan file access. Please note that stopping the emulation or closing Dolphin during this process will leave the save data corrupt and the game won't boot next time complaining about that. Fixed by 4.0-6970.
