''Paper Mario'', known in Japanese as and originally known as ''Super Mario RPG 2'', is a role-playing 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 Wii Virtual Console in July 2007 as well as Wii U Virtual Console in 2015. ''Paper Mario'' is set in the Mushroom Kingdom as the protagonist Mario tries to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser, who has lifted her castle into the sky and has successfully defeated his foe after stealing the Star Rod from Star Haven and making himself invulnerable to any attacks. To save Mushroom Kingdom and get back Peach and the castle and defeat Bowser, Mario must locate seven "Star Spirits" by defeating his minions guarding the star spirits which can negate the effects of the stolen Star Rod, which Bowser uses to render himself invincible. 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 second ''Mario'' role-playing game to be released (following ''Super Mario RPG'') and is the first installment for the ''Paper Mario'' series. ''Paper Mario'' is the predecessor to the GameCube game ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', the Wii game ''Super Paper Mario'', and the 3DS game ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''. The game received a positive reaction from the media, attaining an aggregate score of 88% from Game Rankings and 93% from Metacritic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Game Rankings: Paper Mario )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metacritic—Paper Mario )〕 It was rated the 63rd best game made on a Nintendo system in ''Nintendo Power''s "Top 200 Games" list in 2006.〔 ==Gameplay== ''Paper Mario'' combines traditional role-playing game (RPG) elements with concepts and features from the ''Mario'' series. For the majority of the game, the player controls Mario, who can jump and use his hammer to overcome physical obstacles placed in the game's overworld. Many of the game's puzzles and boundaries are based upon the abilities of Mario's partners, who each have a specialised skill required for progression in the game.〔 The player accumulates partners as they advance into different locations; only one partner can accompany Mario in the overworld, although the player can interchange them at any time. These characters also assist Mario in the game's turn-based battles, where damage inflicted against them results in temporary paralysis as the characters do not have individual HP statistics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RPGFan—Paper Mario )〕 Attacks in the game are similar to those in traditional RPGs, although the player can influence the power of a move when attacking or defending by timing a button-press accurately or performing some other action command as required. Mario and his partners have a finite capacity to perform special moves, with each of these consuming a particular number of flower points (FP) when performed. Such statistics can be increased by earning Star Points (experience points) in combat to level up.〔 There is also an on-screen gauge to display Star Energy, which is required to perform another type of move that accumulate in number as the player advances through the game. The player can locate hidden battle upgrades in the game's overworld, which promotes one partner character to a new rank at a time.〔 Progression through ''Paper Mario'' depends upon interaction with the game's non-player characters (NPCs), who will often offer clues or detail the next event in the storyline. As in other RPGs, the player can find or purchase items from NPCs to help in and outside of combat.〔 Badges can also be obtained that yield bonuses ranging from added moves to gradual health restoration during combat; each consumes a set number of Badge Points (BP), meaning Mario can only equip a limited number of badges at a time.〔 Princess Peach is playable at particular points in the game as a recurring sidequest.〔 The objectives and actions of each transition to Peach vary, although most are stealth-based. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paper Mario」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
