Super Paper Mario

In an adventure game which is a mix of 2D and 3D, Mario and the three other heroes must save all dimensions from the destruction caused by the Chaos Heart unleashed by the evil Count Bleck. But is everything as it seems?

Major Characters (good)

Mario

The hero who must save the worlds, just like in about every other adventure he has every had to save worlds in. The main character, and the only one who can turn 3D to avoid obstacles and save certain puzzles.

Princess Peach

Usually the damsel in distress, once time heroine and another one of the 4 hero type characters, after escaping the twisted castle of Count Bleck, she also has to help save the worlds.

Bowser

Usually the evil villain who Mario has to rescue Princess Peach from in every mainstream Mario game, he has to help his own enemy in order to stop the destruction of all dimensions. After defeating him in world 3 that is...

Luigi

No one really knows where he was after the beginning cut scene and before you find him in the Underwhere (cough: it's totally obvious) but he becomes the 4th hero, or so it seems...

Major Characters (evil)

Count Bleck

Saddened by some mysterious reason in his past, he has married Princess Peach and Bowser to cause the chaos heart formation which will destroy all dimensions. Base of operations is in Castle Bleck, the final area.

Nastasia

Count Bleck's most loyal minion, she is the one who has hypnotised many of Bowser's captured soldiers and Luigi. Her past is unknown, but can be figured out via subtle clues from some story accounts.

O' Chunks

A physically tough soldier to Count Bleck, it turns out he was once a general of an army, and led powerful forces across enemy lines, then after losing due to a traitor, was enlisted by Count Bleck in his services. Very non intelligent.

Mimi

An unknown female creature which serves Bleck, it is unknown whether this thing is what kid of creature. It appears to be a robot after looking at it in 3D, but may also be a failed pixl. Can shape shift and take the form of any character, and has a true form like a spider.

Dimentio

A mysterious jester like character, this character is supposedly helping Count Bleck, but seems to have his own plans for destroying all dimensions... Can teleport at will, and seems to be mentally unstable, attacking things to cause boss battles and to get rid of even some of Count Bleck's minions... Very mysterious enemy indeed...

Mr L

A mysterious character (it is so obviously Luigi that it's ridiculous), he seems to be a very self centered and somewhat selfish minion of the count. Attacks using either force or s giant robot called Brobot.

Bosses

Chapter settings

Lineland

This dimension has four areas which are Lineland Road (a grassy plain with various types of basic enemies), Mount Lineland (a tall mountain which houses Yold Town), Yold Desert (a vast desert with the entrance to Yold Ruins) and Yold Ruins which is an ancient set of ruins home to many enemy types and Fracktail.

Gloam Valley

A sunset swamp which includes the actual area as well as Merlee's Mansion which is a twilit manor in the swamp, home to many enemies, prisoners, treasure and where Mario had to battle Mimi.

The Bitlands

A pixelated area which looks very much like the graphic style of NES games. It has the actual Bitlands, which is the pixelated main area where there are references and areas based off of older Mario game levels, the Tile Pool which is a pixelated lake with watery enemies and a giant blooper mini boss, the Dotwood Tree which is a giant tree and Fort Francis which is the home of Francis, the chapter 3 boss, filled with videogames, consoles and nerd things plus cat robots.

Outer Space

This is the Outer Space area of a certain dimension, and is set in space. It has one area actually where the heroes go through space itself and use an alien creature as a ray gun, an area called Planet Blobule, an area called Outer Limits and a really weird area called the Whoa Zone, which is very disorientating. They fight Mr L and Brobot here.

Land of the Cragnons

A prehistoric type area with primitive inhabitants, this area has the actual village (Downtown of Crag), a rocky area outside of the village and an area called Floro Caverns which is the main area inhabited by Floro Sapiens. The boss in this area is King Croacus (IV).

Sammer's Kingdom

An area which is most known for holding the Duel of 100 Tournament, this has many Sammer Guy warriors and King Sammer. However, it is destroyed by the void as the heroes are fighting the Duel of 100, and turned into a white void. They must fight Mr L and Brobot L Type in this dimension after it gets obliterated.

The Underwhere and Overthere

The Mario type versions of the Underworld and Heaven, these areas are explored in Chapter 7 of Super Paper Mario. The Underwhere is the dark, creepy location very comparable to the Greek Underworld, with Shayde inhabitants, Queen Jaydes, The River Twygz and a three headed monster called the Underchomp based on Cerberus. The Overthere is the Mario version of heaven, which is ruled by King Grambi and inhabitated by various Nimbis.

This chapter's boss is a skeletal ice dragon thing called Bonechill which, as well as his army of skellobits was released from their Underwhere prison.

Castle Bleck

The final area and a creepy castle with colours of only white and black, located in the realm of darkness. Here the main characters must defeat O' Chunks, Mimi and Dimentio, before facing Count Bleck. After Count Bleck is then defeated, they must then fight Super Dimentio.

Pixls

These are helper creatures which help the main characters, and do only one purpose, which is given away by their naming. The full list of Pixls is below:

Items

There are various items which can be used, many of which are from past Paper Mario games and some which are new. Major things include the star, which turns the hero characters into giant 8 bit versions of themselves.
