Paper Mario: Orbs of Light

Paper Mario: Orbs of Light is a new entry in the Paper Mario series, following up on the first 3 games rather than the later entries. Like te original Paper Mario's, the paper theme is once again mostly reserved for visuel gags, with it not being mentioned in-universe. It also returns to the battle system of the first 2 entries.
The story follows Mario, Peach and Bowser and his crew as they travel across the world to find 7 Light Orbs that can destroy the corruption that has overertaken their kingdoms, in a similair vein to Mario Odyssey, although with a greater focus on exploration. Meanwhile, the Toad Brigade finds themselves in wacky antics while scouting ahead, and poor Luigi is left behind trying to survive in the twisted remains of his home, their adventures replacing the Peach and Bowser interludes of the first 2 titles.
== Plot ==
=== Prologue ===
At a seemingly peaceful day in the Mushroom KIngdom, Mario is visiting Peach for cake like usual, when a screaming alerts them. As they head to the entrance, dark tendrils can be seen spreading across Toad Town and its surroundings, twisting its structures beyond recognition as they overtake them. As the tendrils start spreading across Peach Castle, Mario and Peach rapidly make their way to the highest tower of the castle to escape it as long as possible. When all hope seems lost, Bowser's new flagship, The Koopa Conqueror flies near, with Bowser telling the 2 to quickly jump aboard. As the ship leaves, however, Luigi turns out to still be in the town, and as they slow down to throw a rope, a dark tendril slams onto the back of the ship, forcing them to flee and leave Luigi behind, the Toad Brigade's Starshroom quickly following as they ascend and fly away from the destruction.
However, as they near the kingdom's borders, the engine starts to bread down from the damage of the attack, and Bowser is forced to make a crash landing. As it turns out, the ship has crashed on the neighbouring Beanbean Kingdom's Stardust Fields, with Bowser commenting it feels deja vu-ish, before ordering everyone to find a way to fix the ship, promting Mario to explore the area. Not far in, he finds a lost Beanish, under attack by some of the local enemies, which he quickly disposes of. The Beanish introduces himself as [Tba] a big fan of the local Starshade Bros. He then recognizes who Mario is, and freaks out with excitement, immediately asking for an autograph. A bunch more more enemies suddenly show up, and he decides to help Mario out. After the battle, he asks Mario if he can join his party.
After making their way through the field, they encounter the Starshade Bros, who comedically mistake the crash for an invasion. After a brief battle, however, Mario manages to explain what's going on, and they are allowed to take some materials for repairs, allowing the ship to continue its flight. Attempting to head deeper into the Beanbean Kingdom only finds it blocked off from entry.
=== Chapter 1: General Guy Returns! ===
After the ship is repaired, they can finally set sail, now having found a clue about how to stop the corruption while Mario was away: 7 ancient artifacts, orbs of colored light, which the Toad Brigade says to have seen as they were scouting ahead. And so, the group sets sail to their first destination.
The ship arrives in a land where Goombas and Shy Guys live together peacefully... Or well, they used to. As it quickly turns out, when one of Bowser's former generals, General Guy, settled here, he rallied up the Shy Guys to seize control over the entire kingdom, now commanding his chaotic troops from his fortress. 
Mario arrives right when a group of Shy Guys attacks a small coastal village, and quickly disposes of them, after which the village elder explains what's going on. Of course, Mario sets out to General Guy's fortress to put an end to the conflict, though the road ahead is filled with traps and Shy Guy troops. Nonetheless, he manages to safely reach the fortress, quite obviously the structure is locked, and as it is now, there is no way for Mario to enter. More to be added soon

The ship flies further across the continent, soon finding themselves in a land of gigantic flowers, home to the familiar Honeybees. More to be added
