Paper Mario: The Cosmic Medallion

Paper Mario: The Cosmic Medallion is an RPG for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo GameCube 2 developed by Crash Co. It is the seventh game in the Paper Mario series and the second released for the Nintendo Switch, following . It returns to the combat-focused gameplay of and , with battles taking place on stages with an audience and partners that adventure with Mario. The game's story revolves around a new villain named Lord Galossar obtaining the Cosmic Medallion, and using it to send a meteorite to the Mushroom World to destroy it so he can create a new one in his image. To counter this, Mario goes on a quest to awaken the Lunar Spirits, who have the power to override the powers of the Cosmic Medallion. The game also has intermissions between chapters in which the player takes control of Peach, Bowser, Luigi, and Pearl, who each have their own stories that complement the main plot.
==Story==
The story opens on Lakitu Bros. Scoop, a news channel, giving a weekly report. The top story of the week is the upcoming Big Bang Festival, celebrated once every century to honor the creation of the universe. The festivities will be held in Stargazer City, where some of the Mushroom Kingdom's biggest celebrities - Mario, Luigi, and Peach - will be making an appearance. The Mushroom Space Institute also plan to launch an expedition to an undiscovered planet to kick it off.
At that, Bowser shuts down the TV, upset that he wasn't invited, considering that he is one of the most well-known faces of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Ignoring Kammy, Bowser gets inside his Koopa Clown Car and flies over to the Mushroom Kingdom, intending to get a ride to Stargazer City. Kammy Koopa reluctantly follows.
In the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario and Luigi are boarding Peach's private airplane to go to Stargazer City. Toad, Toadette, and Toadsworth are also accompanying them. Before the group can depart, Bowser and Kammy Koopa appear.
While Toadsworth escorts Peach away from the scene and Luigi cowers in fear, Mario pulls out his hammer and battles Bowser. The Koopa king constantly taunts Mario, unaware that he's giving Mario battle tutorial hints, much to Kammy's dismay. After awhile, Bowser is defeated, and he complains that he's lost once again.
Kammy magically picks Bowser up by the tail, spins him around, and throws him into the distance. Kammy then uses her magic to disappear, saying Mario hasn't seen the last of either of them. The crisis averted, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and the Toads are finally able to board the plane and go to Stargazer City.
===Prologue: The End of the Universe!?===
Soon, the plane lands at Stargazer City, and preparations for the Big Bang Festival seem to be under way. Peach, the Toads, and the Mario Bros. step off the plane to take part in the festivities. Peach requests Mario to look for directions to the VIP area, which he agrees to. He starts exploring the city until he bumps into a Bonneter wearing a space helmet.
Mario introduces himself, and she becomes excited.
Mario explains that he and the others flew here from the Mushroom Kingdom as special guests from the Mushroom Kingdom to partake in the Big Bang Festival, and is looking for the VIP area. Moon says that she is one of the lead organizers of the festival, and will escort him and his friends immediately. Mario leads her back to the group, where she introduces herself to everyone else.
Moon has joined your party!
A large, portly Luma, introduced as Mr. Twinkle, then steps up to the podium and says that the Big Bang Festival will be under way in a few minutes. He also says that the ship set on course for a new, uncharted planet is about to take off, with everyone looking behind to see a large rocket rising out of the ground. Before it can launch though, several meteorites are seen heading for Stardust City. Everyone in the ship exits just before it's crushed, and everyone is in chaos at the sudden attack. Suddenly, in the midst of the panic, a red hologram of a mysterious, shadowy figure appears.
Naturally, all of the party goers go into a state of panic, with Toadsworth requesting they go back to the Mushroom Kingdom. Moon is worried that the Cosmic Medallion has been found, and Mario asks what it is. She explains that the medallion created the universe, but also has the power to destroy it. For years it was never able to be found, it in the wrong hands, it could grant them devastating power to end the universe.
Just then, a Shaman named Merlon appears on the podium to try and calm everyone down. He says that there is a way to counteract the Cosmic Medallion's powers, in which the Lunar Spirits must be awakened. There are 12 of them, and they are spread around the Mushroom Kingdom. Their powers combined would be able to override the medallion's world-ending capabilities. Mr. Twinkle then asks if there are any volunteers to go search for them.
Mario then steps in between them to negotiate with Mr. Twinkle.
The crowd cheers as Mario and Moon are put on the spotlight. Moon promises that she will help Mario in any way she can, with Mario happy to bring her along. Merlon approaches Mario, saying that the first Lunar Spirit is somewhere on the outskirts of Stargazer City. Moon asks him how he knows this, with Merlon answering that he has studied them for years and knows their whereabouts.
Before Mario and Moon head out, Peach and Luigi approach them, saying they will he cheering on from the sidelines. Peach asks Mario to promise to stay safe, which he agrees. After searching outside of town for a bit, they find a Goomba, a Spiky Goomba, and a Paratroopa carrying something, and confront them. They say they were sent here as scouts for Bowser, and they battle each other. Bowser's troops run away, abandoning what they were carrying. Mario and Moon touch it, and it begins shining, revealing one of the Lunar Spirits. She introduces herself as Aster, saying that it has been decades since she was awakened. Mario and Moon explain the situation about the Cosmic Medallion, and she says she can lead them to the nearest one, who is in Everbloom Plains just on the edge of Stargazer City.
However, just as they make their way, a large Big Tail Goomba appears, with more of Bowser's minions with him to try and defeat Mario. Aster assists Mario and Moon in the battle, and she also teaches him how to use her special move and how to battle with three characters. After the Big Tail Goomba is defeated, Aster says they should go to Everbloom Plains, but Moon says they should meet back with the town. When they come back to Stargazer Town, Mr. Twinkle is impressed with Moon's efforts, and lets her go with Mario on the adventure. Merlon also congratulates them for finding Aster, but says the remaining ones may not be so easy to find. Aster says she'll do what she can to help, and Moon wants to do whatever it takes to save the universe. Aster mentions the next Lunar Spirit is in Everbloom Plains, and Merlon says there's a Warp Pipe somewhere in town that can take them there. Once they find it, the three head for Everbloom Plains to start the adventure.
===Chapter 1: Robbers of the Royalty===
Mario, Moon, and Astra all appear in Everbloom Village. Astra confirms that the Lunar Spirit is nearby, and can feel her presence strongly. Moon suggests that they ask around town for information about the Lunar Spirits, and Mario agrees. It becomes quickly apparent that the entire town is in hiding. A small child walks up to Mario and asks if he is one of the bad guys, and Moon says that they come in peace. More villagers come out of hiding, and Moon asks what's going on. One of them says that the good people of Everbloom Village have been robbed from criminals the past few days, and they have been in fear of getting their things stolen. Astra asks if he knows anything about the Lunar Spirits as that's what they're here for, with another villager saying that it may be in the treasury of Everbloom Castle, which is just east of Everbloom Village, but it has been under total lockdown and no one is allowed in or out until criminal activity dies down. Just then, a Koopa Troopa comes running by.
This sends all the villagers of Everbloom Village in a panic. Mario calms everyone down and says that he will deal with them, and Moon and Astra say they'll help too. Before anyone can react, the Growling Goombas arrive, consisting of two Goombas, two Spiky Goombas, and a Paragoomba, and they say traffic was nice and they could arrive early. Mario steps in to battle them, and he wipes them out pretty easily. The Growling Goombas run away and hide, but a police Doogan named Warden shows up and traps them in crates, placing them under arrest. Warden congratulates Mario for his efforts, and says that he's been looking for the Growling Goombas for a long time.
The Everbloom Village residents cheer, and the group is unofficially given the title of Criminal Crushers. Warden says that there are a lot more criminals roaming around outside the village, and many of them have stolen belongings of the village goers, and he requests them to bring those stolen items back. Mario and co. head out to Everbloom Plains, and go about beating every enemy they see. Two groups of baddies, a group consisting of two Paratroopas and a Paragoomba called Airborne Assault, and another group consisting of two Squiglets and a Spinia called S Stands for Scary are heading in separate directions. Mario catches up with them at the end of each path, and retrieves the items they stolen.
Mario brings these items back to their respective owners, and Warden says they're doing good. However, a Snatchit appears and steals the bank's money himself. Warden says he's the most feared criminal of them all, and Mario and co. give chase. Mario heads it off at the end of the river and defeats it, claiming back the money. However, they hear yelling coming from the distance, and turn to see a Koopa and Buzzy Beetle dressed in royal garb moving in a wheelbarrow while being chased by a Toad in a chef's hat.
The Koopa and Buzzy Beetle maneuver the wheelbarrow towards the river and try to jump across it, but they end up falling into it instead. The Toad laughs and says that it serves them right and walks off, and the Koopa asks if Mario can help them. Moon questions why they should, and the Buzzy Beetle says there could be a Sap Muffin in for them. The three agree to get them out of the river, and they introduce themselves as the King and Duke of Everbloom Castle. Moon asks what they're doing out here if the castle is in total lockdown from criminal activity, with the King answering that they were always allowed to enter and exit the castle under their decree. Astra asks if they know about the Lunar Spirit supposedly in the castle's treasury, and they say there indeed is one. Mario is about to head back to Everbloom Village to get to the castle, but The King and The Duke know of a shortcut, and say that Mario will need their help getting there.
The King and The Duke joined your party!
The King and The Duke lead the group up the river to their supposed shortcut, taking them through Everbloom Caverns. While teeming with enemies, they manage to get by, The King and The Duke's abilities coming in very handy. Mario also learns how to use Paper Mode here, allowing him to turn thin and go in and out of thin passageways, as well as appear invisible. After solving more puzzles, the group are about to resurface, but they are stopped by a Grand Cleft, who summons other Clefts to help it in battle.
After disposing of them, the group return to ground behind Everbloom Castle. From here, the King and Duke lead them through the back entrance and through the dungeon. However, they lure Mario, Moon, and Astra into a trap that locks them behind one of the cells, and reveal that they were using them to get into the castle and steal the treasury all along. This, however, causes a security breach and causes all the other cells to open and release the other criminals. The King and Duke make off for the treasury, and using Paper Mode, Mario and co. manage to escape. After battling their way through hordes of released enemies, the group reach the King and Duke at the treasury. Aster sees one of the Lunar Spirits, but the thieves steal her along with the rest of the money in the vault.
Mario is about to stop them, but everyone is interrupted by a sudden flash. A shadowy, robed figure appears before them, calling herself Xivas. She says she was sent here from her superiors to stop Mario from reawakening the Lunar Spirit. Aster asks how she knows this, but the King and Duke try to make off before there can be an answer. She uses her power to summon her pet dragon, Wyverntail, who eats the sleeping Lunar Spirit. Xivan then hopes on Wyverntail, and they attack Mario. The King and Duke help him as well, but only to get their stolen money back. After a long battle, both of them are defeated, and Xivan teleports both of them away, but not without commending Mario and saying he was stronger than she thought. They leave behind the Lunar Spirit, and Mario awakens it. This one reveals herself to be Mercii, and is relieved to have been out of Wyverntail's stomach. She joins Mario's party, thus ending the chapter.
Mercii has joined your party! End of chapter!
====Intermissions====
The first intermission opens in a dark room, with three cloaked beings, all similar to Kigera. They are standing in front of the Cosmic Medallion, which has power surging from it, and another being is seen on the other side, who appears to be the one that sent the message about destroying the world to Stargazer City.
Just then, Xivan teleports into the room, looking exhausted.
Randos and Zent disappear, leaving Rose, Xivan, and the master alone.
Rose and Xivan bow before they disappear.
----
The next intermission is set in Stargazer City. Peach, Luigi, and Toadsworth are in a hotel room provided for them for the Big Bang Festival. Peach hopes that Mario is doing OK, with Toadsworth saying she has nothing to worry about. Peach reluctantly agrees, and Luigi suggests maybe they could help out with research regarding the meteor shower. Peach says it's a great idea, and the head down to Stargazer City to investigate. They meet Merlon and Mr. Twinkle, and they are quickly welcomed.
Peach goes in the main building, with Luigi following, but a voice catches his ear. Luigi looks around and finds a shadowy figure standing in a dark alley. He says he can help in Mario's quest, but he needs Luigi's help. He is quick to agree, and the figure responds with a snap of his fingers, with two more figures appearing and trapping Luigi in a barrel.
----
The next intermission opens at Bowser's Castle, where Kammy Koopa is tending to Bowser's wounds who is comically in a gurney and in bandages. He is quite upset he couldn't defeat Mario and was robbed of a trip to Stargazer City. Kammy suggests that they could host their own Big Bang Festival in the castle, but Bowser just gets more angry. A Goomba then walks into the room.
Bowser quickly gets the idea to kidnap the Lunar Spirits for himself before Mario does. Kammy quickly warns Bowser that he's still recovering and can't face Mario on his own, and he responds he isn't going on his own. He calls for Bowser Jr. and asks him to push his gurney for him. He complains, saying that he was just about to reach the final boss in Super Mario and the Underworld Trials, but Bowser says he will burn his Nintendo Switch if he doesn't. Dejected, Bowser Jr. pushes Bowser out of the room, and Kammy Koopa sighs before following.
----
The final intermission opens with Pearl going to Honeyhive Elementary, visiting Belle, Brooke, and Brittany for a playdate they planned. She arrives at the girls' treehouse, but doesn't see anyone inside. She goes into the treehouse's basement, where they other girls are. Brittany greets and apologizes to Pearl for not being upstairs, since Brooke had to study something real quick. Pearl asks what she's doing looking through a telescope while on her supercomputer, and Brooke answers that a meteor shower spontaneously happened in Stargazer City, and she wanted to find the cause.
Pearl asks if she could have a look, with Brooke reluctantly saying yes. Belle continues to complain that they aren't playing, with Brittany saying that this is probably important. Pearl manages to see something from the telescope.
Brooke says this could be an important discovery regarding the meteor shower, and they should report it. Pearl suggests that they head to the Underworld to talk to it with Ruby, and they agree. However, after another complaint from Belle, they agree that they should play some matches of Super Smash Bros. Charged first.
----
Back in Everbloom Village, Mario and co. are commended for their efforts of locking up criminals, even if some managed to escape. Meanwhile, the King and the Duke are charged for royal theft, and as punishment they need to help Mario since they were helpful against Xivan and Wyverntail. Neither of the parties are particularly happy with the arrangement, but Moon says they may as well get used to each other. Astra and Mercii also talk with each other, with Mercii thinking she knows where the next Lunar Spirit is. Mario and his party travel back to Stargazer City to regroup.
==Gameplay==
In terms of gameplay, the game brings over the core mechanics of previous Paper Mario games, specifically Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Paper Mario: The Origami King. The player controls Mario, who can move around, jump, and other actions as he explores open worlds. Partners return as well, who have their own abilities and HP as in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Additional party members exist in the form of Lunar Spirits, who join Mario once awakened and can provide him new special moves.
Paper Abilities return from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, allowing Mario to traverse new areas. Paper Mode, Plane Mode, Tube Mode, and Boat Mode all return from said game, and new abilities are introduced as well. This includes Crumple Mode where Mario gets crumbled into a ball, enabling him to hop around and enter small passageways, and Wet Mode, allowing Mario to get wet and stick to surfaces and reach new areas.
===Battle System===
As in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, battles take place on a stage in front of an audience. In addition to turn-based combat, characters also interact with the scenery, such as the background falling down and dealing damage or random props dropping on the characters. The audience plays a role too, as they will cheer the player on when they land attacks and give them Star Power to use special moves, and exit if the player does poorly. They can also throw items and harmful objects at the player and enemies.
Mario, one of his partners, and one of the Lunar Spirits are always present in battle. The order in which they attack and are positioned can be changed. Mario has the most attacks of anyone, able to have Jump and Hammer attacks among others by equipping Badges. Partners have their own HP and attacks, with new upgrade trees available to give them a different set of attacks. Lunar Spirits also have their own HP and can be upgraded, but lack upgrade trees, making them similar to partners from the first two entries. However, if one Lunar Spirit falls in battle, Mario is unable to use their respective special move.
When Mario or his allies are attacking enemies, they can select their target, though some enemies can't be targeted (ex. most Hammer attacks can't hit flying enemies). Action Commands return, and can be used to enhance the damage dealt to enemies. Stylish moves, extra commands that can please the crowd and gain more Star Power, return as well. Guarding and Superguarding, done by pressing the A and B buttons respectively, can also be performed to negate damage while enemies are attacking. Guarding is easier, but only blocks one damage, while Superguarding is harder, but negates all damage and physical attackers also get damaged.
===Leveling Up===
Every time Mario and his allies win a battle, they will receive Star Points from the enemies they defeat. When Mario reaches 100 Star Points, he will level up, replenishing all of his HP, FP, and SP and allow him to increase one of the following: HP by five, FP by five, or BP by five. Every time Mario's level reaches a multiple of five, he is also given the option to increase his Attack or Defense by one. Should the player decide not to, they are still given the option later on, but once selected, neither can be upgraded until Mario's level reaches the next multiple of five (i.e. if Mario chooses to not upgrade Attack or Defense until Level 7 and does so, he cannot upgrade either again until Level 10).
Partners and Lunar Spirits can be leveled up as well. As in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the player can collect Shine Sprites and use them to upgrade one of their partners, increasing their HP, Attack, and giving them a new ability. Partners have new upgrade trees, allowing the player to select from one of three paths of attacks to give them. Partners can be upgraded up to three times: two on one path, and one on another path. Should the player be dissatisfied with their partner, they can reset their partner to default and upgrade them again to get a better set of attacks at no cost
Meanwhile, Lunar Spirits are upgraded in a similar fashion to partners from the first Paper Mario. The player can hit blocks found throughout the game, which will upgrade one of his Lunar Spirits, giving them a new attack, higher HP and Attack, and decreasing the SP required for their special move by one.
==Characters==
===Main Characters===
Mario 	Mario
 	
Mario is the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, and has saved it and the world on multiple occasions. He, Luigi, and Peach are invited to the Big Bang Festival at Stargazer City, though when the Cosmic Medallion is obtained and the world is said to be destroyed in three days time, Mario jumps into action to awaken the Lunar Spirits and save the day again.
 	
Mario is the player's main character. In the field, he can jump, hammer, and other actions, as well as unlock new abilities as the game progresses. In battle, he can Jump on enemies, which can hit airborne enemies but is vulnerable to spiked enemies, or use Hammer to deal more damage, but can't reach airborne enemies.
Peach 	Peach
 	
Peach is the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, and has been saved by Mario many a time. She is invited to Stargazer City to represent the Mushroom Kingdom during the Big Bang Festival, and decides to stay there during Mario's adventure to awaken the Lunar Spirits, wishing him luck on his quest.
 	
The player can control her during chapter intermissions, where she works with the others in Stargazer City to find out where the Cosmic Medallion is and what exactly it can do. She gives Mario any information she finds when he returns.
Bowser	Bowser
 	
Bowser is the king of the Koopas, and arch-nemesis of Mario. Throughout time, he's tried to take over the Mushroom Kingdom and even the entire universe, but Mario always defeated him. He's jealous when he isn't invited to Stargazer City, so he wants to hijack the Big Bang Festival as revenge. As such, he sends his minions to Stargazer City as scouts.
 	
The player can control him during chapter intermissions. Similar to Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Bowser finds out about the Lunar Spirits and thinks he can kidnap them just like Peach, so he goes out in search of them as comedic hijinxs ensue.
Luigi 	Luigi
 	
Luigi is Mario's taller, slimmer twin brother, and he's helped Mario on his adventures ever since the beginning, in spite of his cowardly nature. He is invited with Mario and Peach to Stargazer City to partake in the Big Bang Festival, and stays on the sidelines to cheer him on during his adventure.
 	
The player can control him during chapter intermissions, where he is lured by shady guys around Stargazer City and going on an adventure of his own with the promise of helping Mario on his journey.
Pearl 	Pearl
 	
Pearl is the young, friendly princess of the Underworld, who quickly befriended Mario and friends after they got trapped in it. Since then, she's become a regular during sporting and party events. While not invited to Stargazer City, she does find out about the events that took place there and wants to find out what happened.
 	
The player can control her during chapter intermissions, where she and her friends are trying to figure out what happened in Stargazer City to stop the Big Bang Festival. Like Bowser's intermissions, these have little bearing on the story and mainly just comedic.
===Partners===
As in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Mario can recruit partners to adventure with him. Each provide their own abilities in the overworld and in battle, and can be upgraded for three Shine Sprites each.
MoonPrologue 	MoonPrologue
 	
Moon is an adventurous Bonneter who works as an intern at Stargazer City. Her lifelong dream is to explore outer space, but despite her training, her superiors don't think she's ready yet. In order to prove her worth to them and herself, she goes with Mario to awaken the Lunar Spirits and save the world from the Cosmic Medallion's power, helping him in any way she can.
 	
Moon's overworld ability is Tattle, where she can tell Mario information about their current location, as well as sometimes give hints. She can also talk about an NPC or object if Mario is standing by them. She serves the same purpose as Goombario and Goombella in previous games.
The King and The DukeChapter 1	The King and The DukeChapter 1
 	
The King and The Duke are a duo of thieves, consisting of a Koopa Troopa and Buzzy Beetle respectively. Initially, they pose as royalty and lead Mario and friends through the Everbloom Caves to get inside the castle, which supposedly has the next Lunar Spirit. However, it turns out they were playing him the whole time and lock him up in a cell while they try to steal the castle's treasury. In the end, they help Mario defeat Xivan and Wyverntail when they attack, and due to their crimes are assigned to continue helping Mario on his journey.
 	
The King and The Duke's overworld ability is Shell Toss. Mario can send their shells forward, with the Duke sitting on top of the King's shell. The King can be held in place, and during this, the Duke's shell can be sent in another direction entirely. They serve the same purpose of Kooper and Koops from previous games, and act as an evolution of them.
====Partner Cards====
Partner Cards, previously introduced in Paper Mario: Stolen Worlds, also appear in Paper Mario: The Cosmic Medallion. They have little bearing on the storyline, but still serve their purpose of letting players use partners from previous installments.
Similar to collectibles like Star Pieces and Badges, Partner Cards can be found by solving secrets, completing sidequests, and even be purchased in a special shop in Stargazer City. Once a Partner Card is collected, players can use it to summon the corresponding partner, and use them for battles, replacing the current partner. It should be noted, however, that partners summoned through Partner Cards can only be used in battle and not in the overworld. Additionally, upgrading these partners costs Coins rather than Shine Sprites.
For a list of Partner Cards, as well as the list of attacks for this game's partners, see here.
===Lunar Spirits===
Throughout the game, Mario must find and awaken the Lunar Spirits, each being encapsulated in a crystal ball that must be opened to awaken them. Aside from Aster, the first Lunar Spirit, each one is earned at the end of each chapter. They will join Mario's party and can fight alongside him like his partners, though they also have a special move Mario can use that is tied to them. If the Lunar Spirit falls in battle, Mario can no longer use that special move.
AsterPrologue 	AsterPrologue
 	
Aster is the first Lunar Spirit, being found on the outskirts of Stargazer City. However, in her sleep, she is being taken by Bowser's forces, and after defeating them, she is awakened. She points Mario and Moon to Everbloom Plains, which is where the next Lunar Spirit is, and she joins Mario's party.
 	
Aster's special move is Sweet Rain, which can replenish up to 6 HP and FP to herself, Mario, and his partner.
MerciiChapter 1	MerciiChapter 1
 	
Mercii is the second Lunar Spirit, being found inside Everbloom Castle among the treasury. The King and The Duke were originally going to steal her, but Wyverntail ate her before they could. After defeating him and Xivan, Mercii is awakened and joins the party.
 	
Mercii's special move is Meteor Shower, which can damage all enemies with a shower of shooting stars.
===Villains===
Lord Galossar	Lord Galossar
 	
Lord Galossar is the game's main antagonist. He finds the Cosmic Medallion, and plans to use its power to wipe out the universe, and create a new one in his image. He's cocky and confident, and isn't at all threatened by finding out Mario is in search of the Lunar Spirits, but rather awaits their eventual battle. Much of his past and motivations are unknown, at least at the start of the story.
Xivan 	Xivan
 	
Xivan is one of Lord Galossar's minions. A war-hardened soldier, she carries with her a sword that can emit various elements depending on its color. She also has a pet dragon she uses in battle named Wyverntail. She appears to be the most loyal to Galossar.
