'''''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 playing the game, entering pipes or doors and during any flipping effect. Refer {{issue|3148}}. To fix: Under Graphics > Hacks. Set EFB Copied to RAM. Game Properties > Enable Bounding Box Calculation.  Entering doors doesn't work properly.
== Emulation Information ==
* When lots of characters and/or enemies are on screen at once, like the goombas in the intro, they won't show up, only their shadows. (fixed in {{revision|3.0-188}})
 
* In DX11 plug-in Mario and Pixl can't be seen. (fixed in {{revision|7556}})
=== When Using Older Graphics Cards ===
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.


===Shops===
{{Image|SPM-Down_Pipe_1.png|Missing animation when going into a pipe}}
Buying items in shops doesn't work on some earlier revisions. This could hinder progress after chapter 2-1, as a fire burst is needed, that can't be gotten as a random enemy drop. However shops are working fine on recent revisions ({{revision|7612}} and above, likely prior revisions as well).
{{Image|SPM-Down_Pipe_2.png|Ditto|br}}


===Regression on Recent Revisions===
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.
Earlier revisions suffered from disappearing Pixls, cutting sound effects and a crash during the intro. These were fixed, but new issues have occurred with DirectX 11 back-end in recent revisions, such as no Mario or Pixl on screen in 2D mode and some graphical problems and flickering that weren't in {{revision|2.0}}. The best revision to use currently is the Dolphin {{revision|2.0}} release or a version past {{revision|6154}}.


===Invincible Francis===
=== Freeze When Starting a New Game ===
On earlier revisions, Francis, the boss at the end of Chapter 3-4, couldn't be injured in any way, and referring to {{issue|2755}}, the workaround on these revisions was disabling Dual Core mode. However this issue doesn't occur on 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}}.


===Freezing in chapter 6.1===
== Problems ==
When the King Sammer calls his vassals, the door opens but the game freezes.
{{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}}.


To fix: Under Graphics > Hacks. Set EFB Copied to RAM. Game Properties > Disable Bounding Box Calculation.
=== <s>Dolphin Freezes during Void takeover in Chapter 6-2</s> ===
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}}.

You just have to disable it temporarily : just to open the door. Then you can re-enable it !

=== 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].

=== Controls Suggestion ===
As the game barely uses the Wiimote, it can be played with a controller. This work fine until the part in which the Wiimote is used to get information on enemies, at which point the game refused to leave that mode.
The suggested set up for controls is to use the left trigger to enable the Wiimote (Use the "NOT" option when right clicking to configure control, along with the hide, so it's hidden unless pressed), along with an analog stick to control the IR stuff. That way one can hold the left trigger and aim with the analogue stick. Make the 1 and two buttons A or Back and B or Back, so that pressing back enables both, giving the menu. Use the left thumb-stick to control the shake too. All this with sideways Wiimote on.

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

When Using Older Graphics Cards

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.

Ditto

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, 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.

Freeze When Starting a New Game

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.

Problems

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 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 5.0-14311.

Dolphin Freezes during Void takeover in Chapter 6-2

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 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 5.0-11866.

Enhancements

HD Texture Pack

There is a work-in-progress HD texture pack for Super Paper Mario on the Dolphin forums; see this thread. This post has links to a currently-up place to get them.

Configuration

This title does not need non-default settings to run properly.

5.0-266 Windows 8.1 Intel Core i3-4030U Intel HD Graphics 4400 Runs perfectly but animations won't bound with BG images if aspect ratio is "stretch to window". Sometimes, Pixls don't appear after going through doors, which when tried to switch to 3D, results in computer freeze. SahilGagrai
5.0-3012 Windows 7 Intel Celeron G1610 @2.6 GHz Intel HD Graphics Runs excellent, NEEDS bounding emulation and EFB to RAM. Runs 60 FPS using D3D11 (Reaching up to 80 disabling frame limits), but OGL runs way slower, 45-55 FPS. Native Resolution. EblfIYH
5.0-8935 Windows 10 AMD Ryzen 5 2400G @ 3.9 GHz AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 IGP Configuration: 720p, 2xSSAA, 2xAF and other optimal settings, game region JPN. 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. amiboss
5.0-11827 Windows 10 Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.0 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Configuration: 1440p with Widescreen enabled, high res texture pack, and other enhancement settings. 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. hman360
