Paper Mario: The Sacred Book

Paper Mario: The Sacred Book (Paper Mario: The Scripture in Japan), is the sequel to the 3DS version of Paper Mario. Like the whole of the series, excluding Super Paper Mario, partners make an appearance and grants the player different abilities. Tattles return and newer enemies appear in the game!
==Story==
Thousands of years ago, when the Mushroom Kingdom was founded by 4 of Princess Peach's ancestors, a book was written by the 4. This book was kept safe as it was believed to foretell the Kingdom's future. Only the Royal Family had access to that book! One of the events foretold was that one day... a monster would attack the Kingdom and steal the book. But this prediction was yet to come true... It had confused many, including Mario! In addition, a "dark" book was made by the 4 and that had different tales about the Mushroom Kingdom.
Several days later, the prediction had come true. Masked vilains had attacked the Kingdom in search of the dark book. It was unknown if was the army of Bowser or Super Dimentio. Peach read the book to find that Bowser would use the Dark Book to take over the world, however Dimentio would try to reform the Void. Moments later, Peace had been trying to lock the Dark Book in a safe, but it had flew out of Peach's hands out into the Kingdom. Suddenly, Peach realised that both books are gone!
A cutscene activates where both Dimentio and Bowser appear! They decided to become Allies and work together. The book is in their hands until they find that they suddenly fuse together, forming Dimser (Bowsentio in PAL regions). It's up to Mario and Luigi to find the pages and take back the Light and Dark Books and return the book back to Princess Peach, restoring the peace of the world. Scriptures from the book were torn out and scattered across the world.
A Toad comes to help Mario on his quest! Mario hesitantly agrees and the Toad (referred to as Mr. Toadly!)! The first chapter of the False Book is found in Peach's castle and all of a sudden, Mario gets warped to a different world and the journey starts!

===Battle System===
The battle system from the first 2 Paper Mario Games return in this game. In addition, Mario's hammer returns as well as the use of items and badges, renamed as "Stickers". The stickers can be changed in-fight.
==Mario's Partners==
Throughout the game, Mario, just like the past game, uses partners. His partners have purposes in both the overworld and battle. They can be upgraded by Merlon by giving him 3 Crystal Stars. Every partner knows two moves when he or she joins the party, learns the third after being upgraded to Super Rank, and masters the final move after attaining Ultra Rank.

==Trivia==
*This game features the most enemies in the Paper Mario series, the original having 120, Thousand-Year Door having 124 and Super Paper Mario having 182 enemies. This game has a total of 191 enemies
**However, some don't count the enemies that have no defence point (eg. Goombas, Gloombas and Gleembas), deducting the enemy count to 181.
*This is the first Paper Mario game in which Peach being kidnapped doesn't occure straight away. However, she is kidnapped when the player starts Chapter 3 in which Mario receives an email from Toadsworth that she has "disappeared".
*Although Dimser is the NTSC name and Bowsentio is the PAL name for the final boss, the names with "Dimser" in them stay in the PAL versions, (eg. Dimser Castle would've been Bowsentio Castle in the PAL versions)
==Reception==
None so far...
==Sequel(s)==
The author has said that there may be a possibility of a sequel, but nothing is known. It seems quite unlikely of a sequel for another year or so.
