Paper Mario: The Original Story Remastered

Paper Mario: The Original Story Remastered is an upcoming game for the Nintendo Switch. It serves as an enhanced remake of Paper Mario that was released for the Nintendo 64 back in 2001.
==History==
Paper Mario was originally slated to be a sequel to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and production was initially handled by staff that worked on the game. Despite the projections, the team felt that it did not meet the expectations, and did not serve as a sequel in any way. The game was originally slated to be titled Super Mario RPG 2 but was later changed to Paper Mario. The mechanics looked similar to the previous game but with newer techniques, still remaining as an RPG-Strategy hybrid game.
==Story==
The story is pretty much the same as the original N64 version. After defeating Bowser in the final chapter, Mario can engage in some side quests in the epilogue such as a new place called the Cave of 100 Trials, which is located at the left end of Goomba Hills.
===Prologue: A Plea from the Stars===
Bowser has stolen the Star Rod from the heavens above the sky. Parakarry delivers a letter to Mario's House where Peach invites him and Luigi over to her castle. Both brothers go to her castle and Mario meets Peach at the upper corridor until an earthquake causes panic. Peach's castle is uprooted by Bowser's Castle from below and sent to the dark skies above. Bowser arrives on scene and challenges Mario to a duel. Bowser uses the Star Rod to jinx himself, rendering Mario's attacks useless. Mario loses the duel and is ejected through the shattered window, falling through the clouds below.
Mario is unconscious somewhere where the Star Spirits manifest their power to wake Mario up, only to no avail. His unconscious body is brought to Goomba Village, where he awakens and meets a somewhat friendly Goomba family. Mario attempts to leave the village but Kammy Koopa breaks the gate by blocking the path with a big yellow block. Mario explores Goomba Hills and finds a Hammer just before having a duel with Jr. Troopa. After removing the block with the Hammer, Goombario joins Mario's party.
Exploring Goomba Road, Mario battles against Goombas in red and blue just before taking on the Goomba King. After defeating him, Mario reaches Toad Town and then the Shooting Star Summit. After being tasked to rescue the seven Star Spirits, Mario meets Twink, who explains how to use the action command. Returning to Toad Town, Mario meets Merlon, a fortune teller, who helps identify a Toad blockage at the east gate as the Koopa Bros., who have a fortress further down east.
