Paper Mario: The sacred shard

Paper Mario: The sacred shard is a 2025 RPG and is the seventh entry in the paper Mario Series. While this is not a spiritual successor to Paper Mario: The origami king, the ring-based battle system Has returned. Some aspects from the original games have also returned, like exp and the ability to control how and when your partners attack.
== Plot ==
After the origami king has been defeated, all is now at peace. That is, until another Threat shows up, and steals a essential possession of the mushroom kingdom, the sacred shard. The cloaked figure turns the shard black and evil, and uses its power to cause explosions all throughout the mushroom kingdom. Mario is blown away and sent to a different land, a place he had never been before. He will make new friends (and enemies) in Paper Mario: The sacred shard.

Paper Mario: The sacred shard/Story
== Characters ==
Mario (duh)
Bio: The red plumber himself we all know and love. He's the icon of Nintendo, and possibly gaming itself. He's had some very memorable adventures throughout the years, and this is one of those. 
Luigi (kinda duh)
Luigi is the brother of the iconic red plumber we know as Mario. While often overshadowed by his brother, he does get his fair share of attention.
Peach (duh)
Bio: The true final boss of every Mario game. Seriously all she has to do is not get captured all the time. ITS THAT SIMPLE. THAT SIMPLE. Anyways, Peach is Mario's Girlfriend who is often captured by bowser. Jeez, sometimes it isn't even bowser who captures her. Honestly, if the people in this game actually had brains, they would capture the Mario brothers instead and- OH WAIT.
Bowser (duh.)
(Don't worry bowser isn't the main villain again.)
Bio: Mario's archnemisis. He's the main one causing trouble around the mushroom kingdom. However, on very rare occasions he would join Mario on his adventures. 
...and one time he even let him go inside his body with his brother. Being a little generous there, koopa bud.
Kamek
Bio: One of bowser's most reliable minions. And probably the smartest. This Magikoopa has been casting spells to attempt to put a wrench in Mario's plans for years counting. Once he turned Mario's attacks into sandals, and Mario got so mad he gave Kamek a good ol' fashioned shoe beating. Man, that must've left a mark for a while.
Paper Sonic (cameo)
Bio: Mario's rival in the gaming industry. Has challenged Mario in the olympic games. Is disguised as a secret toad that you can only find post-game if you get a 100% completion. 
Artiyus 
Bio: The main villain of this adventure. He destroyed the mushroom kingdom and sent Mario far far away from it, little did he know he was digging his own grave. 
E.gadd (mentioned) 
Bio: The scientist of the mushroom kingdom. His inventions are rather interesting things. Invented the poltergust, which Luigi has used to explore haunted houses. 
Captain toad (Mentioned) 
Bio: A toad who's main hobby is exploring. He always keeps his trusty backpack around if he ever gets in a pinch. He in the past, he has always been finding what Mario appeared to be looking for. 
(More characters will be added here as the story continues)
Drill guys
Bio: These two shy guys have a habit of coming from nowhere at the best times. Judging by their appearance, they definitely have no idea what a washing machine is.

== Features ==
Mini mario
Some areas are too small for Mario to get through, however, with Mini Mario, tight fits are no big deal. Mini Mario will walk into puzzles, and you need to use the touch screen to get Mini Mario to where he needs to go, just like in the Mario vs donkey kong games.
Dig
When shovel is obtained, you can dig piles of sand to see if you get anything from it. Sometimes, you can get Coins, items, or even Exp!
Partner abilities
Like in games like ttyd and super paper mario, your partners have abilities outside of battle, which are used for puzzles and platforming. And some can even get a first strike on enemies!
