Description
In 2000, Paper Mario unfolded onto the Nintendo 64, turning the Mushroom Kingdom into a whimsical world of storybook adventure. In this episode, we explore how Nintendo and Intelligent Systems built upon the legacy of Super Mario RPG to create something new—transforming technical limitations into a paper-crafted masterpiece. We trace how its flat aesthetic became a gameplay mechanic, its humor charmed players of all ages, and its design bridged the gap between accessibility and depth. Our conversation also covers its evolution into a beloved series that continues to redefine what a Mario RPG can be. Join us as we flip, fold, and fight our way through Paper Mario on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane.
