Intro Story - Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door

[@crackernuts2503]

One of the best Mario games I’ve ever played ^^ wish nintendo would go back to this form of quality with the series. #RemasterTTYD

[@NightMourningDove]

100000% agree, I keep having dreams of playing a spiritual successor and it's so damn awesome, it really gives you life

[@Aurik-Kal-Durin]

@@multifandomfangirl9664 IMO they should return to the original formula of _Paper Mario 64_ and _The Thousand-Year Door,_ but then also make a sequel to _Super Paper Mario,_ and maintain that as a spin-off series. Because _Super Paper Mario_ was more or less an expansion of _Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door._ It ran on the same engine, reused many of the same assets, and was originally supposed to come out on Nintendo GameCube. They basically just took the Bowser levels from between chapters and made a whole game out of those.

A new generation gets to experience this fantastic game now.

As a part of that new generation, I can certainly say that this game is definitely the best in the series. There’s just so much personality and originality.

Hey dude, since you predicted the ttyd remake, can you tell us when the next paper mario rpg will come out? Thanks and lots of love

[@DoctorMinjinx]

Ahem! Today... I'm going to tell you the story of Paper Mario Thousand-Year Door. An awfully long time ago... In a strange and far-off console, a big, bustling RPG won the hearts of many. It was a game all people loved and had very happy times playing. And it was said that the game was very prosperous. But until that one day... tragedy befell this blessed series. A great cataclysm struck the franchise and its characters. Toads filled the skies, and the earth roared and shook. It was as if the very world had come to a violent end. And in but a single night... The series sank into the depths of the earth... Many moons rose and set... Stories of the beloved GameCube title passed into the pages of fairy tales... And when the town's site no longer held relics of its past... People gathered at that spot and built a new game with fabled insects. But word soon spread amongst the people who played... That a beloved title laid remade, at the end of a Nintendo Direct. And that a magnificent remake rested there. Indeed...Yes, this is where it begins in the sea town of Rogueport. The tale of the quest for the legendary game, remade... And the Thousand-Year Door... starts here!

It was my 6th or 7th birthday, and this was my introduction to RPGs. I still have my original copy from years ago and replay it from time to time. "Paper Mario" was a weird game series, growing up. After this, I played Super on the Wii, which I enjoyed albeit not as much as TTYD. Then I played the 3DS game, got bored of it, and concluded that "Paper Mario" wasn't for me anymore. I did enjoy the N64 game a lot, even though the Level 27 cap was a bit disappointing. By the time the Wii U instalment came out, I lost interest and learned about the displeased fan reception directed toward the franchise's recent direction. Fast forward to 2024, and one of my most anticipated games is a remake of the instalment that made me fall in love with not just "Paper Mario", but RPGs overall. It's the only item I want for my 25th birthday, and fingers crossed it sells incredibly well and wins over a new generation of RPG fans. Nintendo might start delivering sequels "Paper Mario" genuinely deserves. But getting hopes up could be catastrophic; it's impossible to forget the unfair twists and turns that life has brought humanity.

In a dimly-lit room, a large, old book rests solely on a table. Its red, dusty velvet cover has certainly seen better days, but it is still holding strong. Written in golden, cursive letters, it is titled CLASSIC MULTIVERSAL FAIRY TALES We imagine this song to be playing as we approach it. As we closely inspect it, as if by magic or an unseen hand, it slowly opens and the yellowed pages turn all by themselves until they land at what seems to be the book's final chapter. A flower made of geometric shapes with seven triangular petals adorns the first page. As if granting us time to take in this simple and cryptic, yet somehow majestic symbol, the rustling pages rest for a few seconds, then turn to the next. The one who brought us here begins in a gentle tone: Ahem! ★ Today, I will tell you the story of how our World came to be. ★ Uncountable years before you were born, our world did not exist yet. ★ All colors of the rainbow raced wild and free through the endless sky, and when they collided, the most wonderful or terrible things would form, and sooner or later, dissolve into their colors once again. ★ It was a beautiful thing to see, but chaotic to live in. ★ Sooner rather than later, all the terrible things that had formed, came together seemingly at random, and united into the Darkness. ★ It promised the others that it would end the chaos of colors and bring order to all worlds, but it was lying. ★ Instead of bringing order, the Darkness drained the sky of all colors, locked them away and stole their power for itself. ★ But it is said, that one wondrous artifact was used to stop the evil and free the colors: ★ The Prism Petunia! ★ Unlike how a normal prism breaks sunlight into all colors, this one is said to have been the source of a magnificent unity, which freed all colors from the Darkness and brought them together, defeating the Darkness and creating the bright starlight, which now brings our world prosperity, and which protects us from the Darkness. ★ Despite being the most important artifact ever known, no one has ever found the Prism Petunia. ★ But the legend also says that, if it is needed, someone will find it… ★ The next page turns and blinds us with a bright light. PRISM PETUNIA PETAL PULP © 2024 Harry M. Frazer aka S4E [Press Start/Pause] [...] [Loading the story’s text.

Colorful postmodern buildings form the landscape, with train lines, greenery and its inhabitants filling the spaces in between. Some of the inhabitants are humans, while others seem completely unrecognizable, like alien creatures. They seem to get along well, however. Now, we direct our focus to the tallest building, one that has masts bearing various important-looking flags coming out from both sides of the towering structure. The wide entrance area is cordoned off, with burly humans and other creatures in black suits or similar clothing guarding it from zealous journalists. But that’s not what we’re concerned with. Quickly, our view sweeps past the guards, through the sterile, yet noble lobby and up a seemingly endless flight of stairs. As our view climbs more and more stairs, audible commotion from above us becomes clearer, and finally we’ve arrived on the same floor as its source. Multiple people are storming down an adjacent hallway towards us, so we turn around and dash for a window as we hear a female voice behind us. Ah, fuck! ★ Our view flies through the window, then turns around to witness it being cracked by gunshots, then shattered by a teenage girl leaping through the damaged glass. She has white skin with a freckled face, short, brown hair with white highlights and wears a combination of a white-pink-and-yellow shirt, yellow ribbons, a short skirt with a swirling pattern of pink and yellow, leather straps and pistol holsters on both thighs with the right one being empty, as well asymmetrically colored boots, with one being pink and the other yellow, but both having white heels. As she flails her arms in the air while clutching a white-and-pink pistol in her right, trying to regain her grasp of the tablet computer-like device she’d just let go of, time freezes for everything except her head, and she turns to look at us. Yup, that’s me, ★ she says in a spunky, but audibly annoyed voice, You’re probably wondering how I got into this mess. ★ Not really, can we get to the fun part? ★ we respond. The girl seems surprised and annoyed. What?! What about the exposition? You’ve gotta know what’s going on! ★ Yeah, but in order to care about that, we first need to be hooked and introduced to the whole thing. Can’t you explain as we go? ★ we explain. The girl sighs. Ugh, fine… ★ she says and time, as well as her fall, resume, with this song (Bardot and the Blue Bloods - Oh Me Oh My) inexplicably starting to sound from an invisible source. She scrambles through the air, catches the device with her left hand and tucks it under a leather strap on her left thigh while also holstering the pistol on her right, then curls up in a ball to control her orientation mid-air. As she falls, we see her from a bird's eye view, the city stretching out below. From above, some of the buildings look like letters that read HARRY M. FRAZER PRESENTS She opens up her arms and legs again, then steers herself, falling towards one of the flag masts on the building, as yet more letters appear, reflected in a window next to her. They read A REALLY STUPID PRODUCTION She grabs onto the highest of the thin metal poles with her left hand and swings around on it like a bar, while grabbing onto the attached flag with her right. After revolving around it once, she lets herself drop, the flag tearing off under her weight. She falls past a massive row of text that reads PRISM PETUNIA PETAL PULP then grabs onto the other end of the flag with her now-free left hand as well, unfolding the flag in mid-air like a parachute and holding on for dear life as her fall is abruptly slowed down, but not so much that she could manage to avoid landing in a public trash can on a sidewalk, which tips over, spilling, among expected waste items, more letters onto the ground. They read PROLOGUE: THE IN MEDIAS RES STARRING Immediately, she is surrounded by more black-suited humans and aliens who point weapons at her, which, despite their futuristic designs, are clearly firearms. Kacey Morgan, you are under arrest for trespassing on restricted government premises, assault of government officials, theft of government property, property damage and resisting arrest! ★ a human guard shouts at her. Our view of Kacey’s face freezes and everything we see, except her face is suddenly dyed bright pink with a slosh of paint that comes out of seemingly nowhere, and white, paintbrush-like text appears next to it, reading WHAT HE SAID AS HERSELF Yeah, I'll have another count of resisting arrest, with a side of murder. ★ she responds drily as the paint vanishes again, rolling the trash can and herself to the side and swinging the torn flag at the guards with one arm. As most of her enemies are confused, she scrambles out of the trash can, picks up a bottle from inside and slams it onto the small, insectoid head of a guard, causing colorless blood to spray in her face. As he collapses, the girl grabs his handgun, fires it at another guard, throws it a third, then darts down a broad street, avoiding gunfire before drawing her pistols and returning fire every now and then. Our view of her bobs up and down alongside her run. So, what is going on here?! ★ we demand, us panting in between words. Uhh… ★ she hesitates, Yeah, I kinda lied. I have no fucking clue what's going on! The story starts like this, I know as much as you people do! ★ She pauses, vaulting over a low wall. Who are you, anyway? ★
