'''''Super Paper Mario''''' is a platform/console role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. Originally developed for the Nintendo Gamecube, it was released for the Wii. The style of gameplay is a combination of the previous ''Paper Mario'' titles and ''Super Mario Bros.'' titles. Unlike the RPG-style gameplay of previous ''Paper Mario'' games, the game combines platforming gameplay, RPG and puzzle elements. It is the third game in the ''Paper Mario'' series.
'''''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.


== Problems ==
The game was originally planned for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] in 2006, but Nintendo changed it to a Wii release due to declining GameCube sales.
===Graphical Issues===
 
* Black/flickering sprites when entering pipes or doors or during any flipping effect.
== Emulation Information ==
* In DX11 plug-in Mario and Pixl cant be seen.
 
* In DX9 plug-in small colored straight lines appear around Mario and Pixl. (Does not affect Dolphin 2.0 release on DX9)
=== When Using Older Graphics Cards ===
* "Press 2" at beginning is black.
This game uses a feature known as "Bounding Box", which Dolphin typically uses Shader Storage Buffer Objects (SSBO) to emulate. This requires a NVIDIA GeForce 400 series or newer, a AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5000 series or newer, or a Intel Broadwell Integrated GPU (Intel HD 5300+) or newer and an operating system that supports OpenGL 4.3, D3D11, GLES 3.1, or Vulkan. On macOS, MoltenVK can be used to attain Vulkan support on the latest builds. If Bounding Box is not emulated correctly, the game will show severe graphical glitches and won't be playable to finish.
* When lots of enemy's appear like in the intro they don't show up.

===Shops===
Because Dolphin has gone through many variants of Bounding Box support throughout its history, it may be possible for older graphics cards to use less accurate versions of Bounding Box present in older builds. On Android, {{revision|5.0-9322}} or newer is required for Bounding Box to function at all when using OpenGL ES due to an unrelated bug. Please note that other driver issues can often cause issues with Bounding Box emulation, which can produce similar bugs to having no Bounding Box support whatsoever. In this case, updating drivers or using a different video backend may be your only recourse.
Some report that buying items in shops doesn't work. This could hinder you to proceed after chapter 2-1, as you need a fire burst. You can also get this item as a random enemy drop.


===Outdated or New Revisions===
=== Freeze When Starting a New Game ===
Earlier revisions suffered from disappearing Pixls, cutting sound effects and a crash during the intro. These were fixed, but new issues have occurred in recent revisions:
Disc images that have been converted to the NKit format will freeze when attempting to start a new game. This is a problem with NKit, not Dolphin. Converting the disc image back to a non-NKit disc image will fix the problem. See {{issue|11900}}.
*No Mario or Pixl on screen in 2D using DX11 plug-in.
*DX9 and 11 plug-ins has some graphical problems and flickering that weren't in 2.0.


The best revision to use currently is the Dolphin 2.0 release.
== Problems ==
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
=== <s>Bounding Box Slowdown on NVIDIA Cards</s> ===
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 resolution 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 other video backends when playing games that require Bounding Box emulation to avoid that. Resolved as of {{revision|5.0-14311}}.


===Intro + lots of Characters on screen===
=== <s>Dolphin Freezes during Void takeover in Chapter 6-2</s> ===
When lots of characters are on screen at once like the gombas in the intro they won't show up.
Dolphin may freeze completely when the Void takes over during Chapter 6-2, after the laughing Sammer Guy runs away. This issue has been present [https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-crash-super-paper-mario-chapter-6-2-crash since at least 4.0].
A workaround is to disable the Panic Handlers in Dolphin's main Configuration menu, under the Interface tab, while playing Chapter 6-2. This has been fixed in {{revision|5.0-11866}}.
}}}}


===Invincible Francis===
== Enhancements ==
Francis, the boss at the end of Chapter 3-4, cannot be injured in any way.
=== HD Texture Pack ===
There is a work-in-progress HD texture pack for Super Paper Mario on the Dolphin forums; see [https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-super-paper-mario-hires-texture-pack this thread]. [https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-super-paper-mario-hires-texture-pack?pid=404558#pid404558 This post] has links to a currently-up place to get them.

Vulkan and D3D11 both give a constant 60FPS, except that Mario's switching between 2D and 3D could cause a slowdown to 40~. Perfectly playable in all. OpenGL is not tested.|tester=amiboss}}

Game version USA Rev 0 (v 1.00). Vulkan works very well, consistent 60 FPS. Encountered an issue in Chapter 6-2 after the Mimi fight, when the Void takes over and the screen flashes white after the laughing Sammer guy runs away, Dolphin freezes. I was able to get around this by disabling Panic Handlers in the main Dolphin config.|tester=hman360}}
