- Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door lives up to the hype as a “page-turning adventure.” It’s also a long adventure, so be sure to pencil in the time, especially if you’re a completionist. With memorable bosses, much to find, and plenty of extras, this game will keep Switch players busy.
Trevor Gould · Jul 16, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Parmi les inédits de cette version remasterisée, Nintendo a prévu des ajouts de confort qui facilite la navigation dans les menus. Rien d'extraordinaire attention, mais c'est toujours plus agréable de changer de partenaire en appuyant sur un bouton plutôt que de passer via le menu des Options. Dommage par contre que le 60fps du jeu d'origine ait été sacrifié sur l'autel des concessions, mais bon, le grand public n'y verra que du feu... Ceci étant dit, Mario en forme de papier, c'est toujours une valeur sûre, et on espère qu'à l'heure d'internet et du tout démat', les joueurs y trouveront aussi leur bonheur.
Maxime Chao · Jun 22, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - It’s clear that Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Switch is the best version of a masterpiece, and it’s thrilling to know a whole new generation gets to play this for the first time. Smart changes help make things better for returning players, but ultimately, everybody wins as this quirky RPG with a charming heart is a joy to play in every single moment.
Nathan Ellingsworth · Jun 18, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a faithful and beautifully done remaster of the greatest entry in the Paper Mario series. From fixing the ancient wrong of the US release to the addition of new and incredibly convenient features like fast travel and the ability to switch partners on the fly, Nintendo has somehow taken something made of pure gold and added a pure gold plating.
Eric Halliday · Jun 13, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Intelligent Systems has knocked it out of the ballpark with their quality of life changes, updated music for each chapter, incredible humour, and an all-around perfect experience for Mario RPG fans. Truly, this is the definitive edition of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and an exceptional entry point for younger gamers to explore the world of RPGs while providing enough ways for experienced gamers to give themselves a challenge. I can't recommend Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door any more than this and it’s a must have for any switch owner or RPG fan.
Nathan Rudge · Jun 12, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - This polished update of the Nintendo GameCube classic is certain to attract a new generation of fans. Despite a few tell-tale signs of aging, it remains sharp, engaging, and conceptually impressive.
Daniel New · Jun 07, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door looks great on Switch, making it exciting to move from one location to the next, each interesting in its own way. Its writing is brilliant, too, with some genuinely funny jokes that will have you grinning as you play. It's just a shame that its turn-based combat gets old quite fast, and is devoid of challenge.
Richard Seagrave · Jun 06, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Switch is now home to the definitive version of The Thousand-Year Door, and anyone interested in RPGs or Mario games who might've missed it over the years should definitely check it out to see why so many Paper Mario fans long for a return to this style of game.
Dani Cross · May 31, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - From its classic turn-based system, complex yet lighthearted themes, and beautifully recreated worlds that make the most out of its papery aesthetic, there is plenty to love about this remake.
Giancarlo Saldana · May 29, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is an amazing remake of an excellent game. While it isn’t perfect, it provides a highly entertaining experience in almost every way.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
The nefarious X-Nauts are after the treasure behind the Thousand-Year Door! With a map from Princess Peach, and the help of a few locals, Mario journeys through a colorful world made of paper to find them first. To prevail in this quest, you’ll have to level up Mario and his friends, master timing-based attacks and badges to impress the audience on the stage of combat, and make use of all the abilities that come with being cursed—er, conveniently made of paper—like folding into a plane to cross big gaps or turning sideways to slip through narrow openings.
Leaf through a storybook world with charming characters in every fold
Surprises abound in this deep and engaging tale, where everyone’s got something to say and it’s often not what you’d expect. Mario will meet all kinds of interesting folks on his journey, like the upbeat and studious Goombella and the shy but determined Koops. Some of these characters will need your help with their own quests, or even join your party. Others, like Peach and Bowser, have stories of their own that you’ll play between Mario’s chapters!
