It's Time Paper Mario Got A Remake

Here is a 205-word summary of the news article: The original Paper Mario game was released in Japan 25 years ago today, on August 11, 2025. The article looks back at how the game's dynamic battle system and unique approach to Mario lore influenced the series for years. Paper Mario told a classic Mario story of Bowser capturing Princess Peach and scattering magical artifacts, but with an enhanced execution. It brought the Mushroom Kingdom to life with diverse, charming characters like the proactive Peach and the terrifying yet goofy Bowser. The hub town of Toad Town featured Toads with distinct personalities that evolved alongside the player's journey. The game also solidified the concept of common Mario enemies like Goombas and Boos having their own allegiances and identities. These partner characters joined Mario in the game's engaging RPG battle system, forcing players to strategize their moves. While the graphics may have aged, the article argues the original Paper Mario still holds up well today. With remakes of other Mario RPGs, fans are hoping the first Paper Mario will also receive the same treatment someday. But regardless, it remains a timeless piece of Mario magic that any gamer should experience.
