Paper Mario: Dark Matters

"Paper Mario: Dark Matters" is a turn-based RPG made for the Wii U. It was released on February 5, 2016 and is the next installment in the Paper Mario series. The game is supposed to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the original Paper Mario game, and will feature characters and locations in the original 4 Paper Mario games. Unlike the previous installments, there will be 10 chapters, along with DLC coming shortly after the game's release.
==Gameplay==
The game plays out like Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, in which you play as Mario and one of his many partners in the first two games. However, since there's a Gamepad involved, there are obviously new mechanics. For one, you can use the Gamepad to switch between partners during battle and in the overworld. Also, the main new feature is that in certain areas, like Toad Town and Mario's house, you can travel through time and go in their respected time periods, like Mario's House from Paper Mario or Toad Town from Sticker Star, each having different layouts and results. The combat is the pretty much the same, but with Time Gears as the collectable items this time, giving you different powers in battle once you collect them.
==Story==
The story starts with Parakarry dropping off a letter to Mario's house. Luigi reads it, saying that Peach wants to see the bros at the castle. Once they arrive, it's revealed that Bowser is there, along with his minions. Peach is trapped in a cage, although you notice her knocking enemies out with her umbrella in the background. Mario and Bowser fight, resulting in Bowser losing, and Luigi freeing Peach. However, a hole in the castle suddenly bursts open, and a crumbled up being appears, calling himself "Dark Skrool." He kicks all the castle's inhabitants out, including Bowser and his minions, and turns the entire castle in a small scroll, in which he shoves in his pocket and goes away, opening holes in time, sucking all of the inhabitants and invaders in a different one. Mario gets sucked into one, and the game's story offically starts...
==Chapter 1: Road To Toad Town==
Mario is seen in an inn, and he notices a Toad that looks...different. He hears someone talking outside of the inn, and decides to head outside the inn, only to see a family of Goomba's talking to...himself? Mario walks over to the look-alike of himself, only to notice that the look-alike is really HIM, only from a few years ago. The Goomba's, including Goombario, are pondering on how two Mario's could meet up, when they notice all of area's respected enemies running away. One informs the Mario's that some of the world is getting torn apart, and the heroes, along with Goombario, run off to see what's the problem.
