Paper Mario: Rush to the Ruby Shards

Paper Mario: Rush to the Ruby Shards is the 5th installment in the Paper Mario series. It takes place after Super Paper Mario, excluding the story found in Paper Mario: Sticker Star.
The game's plot revolves around Mario and friends trying to collect shards of a crystal meteor that was smashed into pieces. Shards of said meteor were spread all over the Mushroom Kingdom, and Mario is in a race against Bowser and his minions to find all of the shards. When all shards are combined, the user gets insane power.
"Paper Mario: Rush to the Ruby Shards is heaviily inspired by Paper Mario: Countdown to Chaos. Infact, if it weren't for Countdown to Chaos, None of this project would have existed. I praise whoever created Countdown to Chaos" - a quote from the creator of Paper Mario: Rush to the Ruby Shards
This project is still in development.
==Mario's Partners==
Throughout the game, Mario, just like the first two installments, has partners. His partners have purposes in both the overworld and battle. They can be upgraded by Merlon by giving him 3 Shine Sprites. Every partner knows two moves upon joining the party, learns the third after being upgraded to Super Rank, and masters the final move after attaining Ultra Rank. A 5th move may be added through the use of a badge which can be won by clearing the trials set for each specific partner by a mysterious character after Chapter 7.
