== Story ==
The game starts off with a flashback to Super Paper Mario about four heroes closing off a void that was going to suck everything up from all worlds. Fast foward to the present day, the head of Super Dimentio was laying on the ground until Dimentio finally got out of it. "I finally got out of that thing again... again." Dimentio said. "Ugh I can't believe I got sent here again by Mario and his friends they beated my up like I was a kid getting bullied in school! Hey I know I should do to get revenge, I should bring back the star of darkness. THE DARK STAR!" Dimentio said.
Meanwhile over in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario was napping. "Mario! Spaghetti is-a ready! You-a can wake up!" Luigi shouted. Mario then woke up and said "Okey Dokey! I'm-a coming!" Mario and Luigi then started to eat their spaghetti. "Mamma Mia... It-a is peaceful but, it is a little to peaceful which-a makes it boring." said Mario. "Yeah, Big Bro. It-a is getting boring around here." Luigi said in boredom. "How about we-a go to Princess Peach's Castle and-a we can ask Princess Peach to-a go go-karting with-a us." said Mario. "That-a would be great. Let's-a head to the Castle!" Luigi said excited. 
The Mario Bros. then went to Peach's Castle but, Toad Town in front of the castle looked different. There was Dark versions of Bowser's Minions that were members of the Dark Army attacking, with normal versions of the Koopa Troop but they didn't look normal, with also not looking normal Minions of Paper Bowser, and Dark versions of the Paper Minions too. Mario and Luigi looked around at the sight in shock. Mario then saw Princess Peach look very injured. "Peach?! What is-a going on?!" Mario shouted worried. "Lots of Minions that we know... Ouch... of are attacking, I tried fighting back... but I couldn't... handle... them... Ow!..." Peach said very injured due to the foes pounding her to a pulp. "Mamma Mia! What-a caused all of-a this?!" The trio then saw figures that looked like then with a weird mask on. "Wait a sec... They-a look like us!" Luigi said in fear. The figures that look like the Mario Trio got in a battle stance looking like they wanna fight. "I-a think they-a want to fight us." said Mario. "If-a they do we-a will defeat them! Because they-a have "Wanting to destroy Toad Town" written all over them!" Luigi said. "Guys I will help... Ouch... I think... I still have some... fight in me..." Peach said. "Okay! Let's-a do this!" Mario yelled. Mario, Luigi, and Peach then confronted the figures but they sadly lost causing them to pass out. 
Mario then woke up somewhere else along side Luigi and Peach. "Where are we?" Mario said. "The ground looks-a like carboard so-a we must be in the Paper Mushroom Kingdom." said Luigi. "Guys, we have to get back to the Mushroom Kingdom." said Peach. "Uhhhh... Guys... We-a can't leave there is a rock in-a the way and-a it looks too hard to-a break." said Mario. "Great! Now-a what are we going to-a do?!" Luigi said. A spark then came down and touch each of them causing everything around them to turn flat under their feet. "What's happening?!" said Peach. "Greetings." Some voice said. "Who-a said that?!" Luigi said in fear. "No need to be in fear, Luigi." The voice stated. "H-How do-a you know my name? And-a where are you?" said Luigi. "I'm, Sparkly. I am a guardian who protects the very fabric of space and time and I know everyone's names in the universe." Sparkly said.
"Now then, let me explain what happened that Spark I sent gave you a new power called "Reality Spark Shift." It can be used to change everything around you that you can see to something thin and flat. Let me explain how it works. You see, you can freely move across the Reality Piece." Sparkly said. "Will this help use get rid of that rock." Peach said. "Sure it will Sparkly said just walk up to it and press A for Mario to grab onto it and start pulling it but, you have to work as a team so quickly mash A, B, and Y to pull it out. Once when it flies off the Reality Piece it will start floating in the fabric of space and time. Also, you can only use Reality Spark Shift when you are in a certain area when your powers find a place where Reality Spark Shift can be used your bodies will start to glow yellow. Almost forgot the way how to enter and exit Reality Spark Shift, you can enter it by pressing A and you can exit it by press L." Sparkly said. The Mario Trio then have finally learned Reality Spark Shift and they were able to get rid of the rock and they decided to make their way to Paper Toad Town but it looked destroyed and their Paper selves looked worried. 
"Paper us! What's-a wrong?!" Mario shouted. "Toad Town-a got destroy." Paper Luigi said while Paper Mario nodded. "Lots of enemies came by and attacked us and Toad Town and all of my poor people got very hurt." Paper Peach said. "What?! T-That happened to us too! My people also got attacked!" said Peach. "What is-a even going on?!" Mario said. "Mario! I knew what happened Dimentio came back and he revived the Dark Star to get revenge. And the reason why you saw all those enemies attack is because Dimentio brainwashed all of the members of both Koopa Troops by planting Floro Sprouts on their head and the Dark Star made more Dark minions. Also, for those figures were created by Dimentio using his power and with the Dark Star using the remaining shadows of your Dark versions." Sparkly said. "Well-a we have to stop them! Let's-a go!" Mario said. "Ok" Everyone else said while Paper Mario just shook his head "Yes." Then the Paper versions went inside their normal versions and both Marios, Luigis, and Peachs went off to start their adventure to save both of their worlds.
