About this listen

Today, we’re flattening expectations with Paper Mario, the 2000 RPG that reimagined the Mushroom Kingdom through a papercraft lens. We begin by tracing its origins as a follow-up to Super Mario RPG, developed after Square’s departure from Nintendo. Then, we’ll explore how Intelligent Systems overcame the limitations of the Nintendo 64 to create a charming, accessible RPG full of humor, heart, and strategic depth. Along the way, we’ll look at its unique battle mechanics, the legacy of the ring-style menu system, and how Paper Mario helped redefine Mario’s storytelling potential. So grab your hammer and get ready to peel back the layers on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane!
