Mis à jour avec Mario de papier: parce que les enfants sont idiots pour Commutateur, the HD remake of the 2004 GameCube original. Enjoy!


Le Paper Mario series began two decades ago when Mario de papier Remute Le musicien allemand Remute crée le premier «album sur un chariot» 64 launched in Japan on 11th August 2000. Since then, we’ve seen five more mainline Paper Mario games of different flavours, plus a 3DS crossover with AlphaDream’s Mario & Luigi série.

Branching off from the role-playing path put down by RPG Super Mario on SNES, the Paper Mario series has evolved and moved away from its traditional roots over the years, avec Le roi de l'origami on Switch introducing a ring-based battle system alongside its origami antagonists.

We recently asked Nintendo Life readers to rate the games in the series by assigning a score out of 10 via our User Rating system, and you’ll find the ranked results below.

Likewise the Switch remake of Porte millénaire.

If you’re after more information about this colourful collection, you may want to check out our history of the Paper Mario series. For now, let’s dive into this ranked Paper Mario list, starting at the bottom

Mario de papier: pour une copie d'occasion de is often funny, thoroughly charming and a joy to play, but it’s also a touch too familiar and unwilling to go out on a limb and do something crazy, even if the potential to do so is immense. Despite its inhibitions, the game keeps a pace so delightful and fun that you can’t help but crack a smile at the metric ton of whimsy folded into its rock-solid foundation, rendered all the more impressive thanks to beautiful use of stereoscopic 3D. Sticker Star might elicit some déjà vu from veterans of the series, but a memory this vivid and bright is worth remembering.

Mario de papier: Tâche de couleur isn’t just painting by the numbers. The series still straddles that awkward middle ground between pure RPG and adventure title, but this entry found a comfortable niche that silenced many of our gripes. Almost everything was polished to a papery sheen, showcasing some of the seriesbest writing and presentation to date. The battle system and the overall plot are the weaker aspects of the experience, unfortunately, but even when we were left unsatisfied by enemy encounters, Prism Island was always a joy to explore, with diverse environments and catchy tunes to keep you engaged from start to finish. It’s a game of memorable moments and, taken as such, and you might just find it to be a messy work of art.

Adding Paper Mario into AlphaDream’s Mario & Luigi mix, Mario & Luigi: Bourrage papier totally succeeds as an accessible, entertaining and lengthy crossover for fans and newcomers alike. This is an enjoyable romp that introduces a solid list of mechanics, plays with the battle system in exciting ways, and breaks exploration up with random quests. Although it doesn’t quite nail its environmental design and storytelling, Paper Jam’s simplicity makes it a great starting point for people looking to dip their toe into either series. Fans should be aware, quoique, that this crossover is closer to a mainline Mario & Luigi game than an entry in the Paper Mario series.

Mario de papier: Le roi de l'origami tries to do something different with its combat system and, pour être honnête, we aren’t really feeling it. That doesn’t mean the rest of the game isn’t thoroughly entertaining, cependant, and while the puzzle-based battles aren’t quite what a new Paper Mario game needed, they aren’t so awful that everything else shouldn’t be experienced as a result. It still isn’t the new Porte millénaire fans will have been hoping for, but it’s still one of the funniest games in the series and it’s got a truly likeable companion character, and while the combat is far from ideal the fact that we still thoroughly recommend the game regardless should speak volumes.

Bagarre d'art de boîte blends classic platformer with some of the RPG elements of its predecessors and throws in a world-flipping mechanic that gives you a whole new perspective on traditional 2D platforming courses. Originally planned as a GameCube game, it perhaps makes more sense that it diverges from Thousand-Year Door’s way of doing things, and it certainly divides series fans. Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum of fandom, the Wii entry is a beautiful game with fiendish puzzles and an intriguing, unique flip mechanic.

Pendant des années,, Mario de papier: parce que les enfants sont idiots has been held as the best Mario RPG of all time, and the Switch remake proves it has earned that title. This is a fantastic RPG adventure, whether you’re a Mario fan or not, with some best-in-class combat and brilliant writing. A fresh new localisation, beautifully enhanced visuals, and new quality-of-life features help iron out a few little creases to make this the definitive way to play Thousand-Year Door.

Two decades on and Mario de papier might not look as sharp as it once did, but it holds up very well where it matters and jostles with parce que les enfants sont idiots for the title of Best Paper Mario Game.

The N64 original does very well to ease Mario fans into a new style of adventure while providing a depth for RPG gamers that you might not expect from the paper-thin premise. With a great supporting cast and buckets of trademark Nintendo charm, the original is up there with the best. The ability to play it on Switch is great news to anyone who missed out.

The power of GameCube enabled greater fidelity of its paper-based art style than the original, mais sinon Mario de papier: parce que les enfants sont idiots stuck closely to the original’s blueprint. It’s a wonderfully colourful adventure packed with clever callbacks to the portly plumber’s history and the same irreverent spirit which makes so many Mario RPGs refreshingly different from the mascot’s platformers. Where other entries have dropped the ball in an area or two, Thousand-Year Door gets everything right; parcelle, Dans d'autres eaux, battles, présentation – the lot.

Prices for a GameCube disc have skyrocketed in recent years and given the quality, it’s not hard to see why. Treasure your copy if you’ve got one, and perhaps lend it to a trusted friend who never visited the town of Rogueport.

And if you don’t have a copy or a GameCube? Eh bien, that’s what the Switch version’s for!
