## Gameplay

*Main article: Paper Mitchell (2001)*
The Remaster is a cross-genre video game, containing elements from action-adventure, role-playing, and puzzle games. The player controls a two-dimensional paper version of Mitchell and explores a linear open world designed to look like paper and cardboard. The player's goal is to free the imprisoned seven "Power Stone Spirits" from Marquessa, the series' main antagonist and then Save the world. Throughout the game, the player sets to save the city of Raleighopolis and defeat Marquessa, Mitchell and his friends must locate the Power Stone Spirits, who can negate the effects of the stolen Power Stone Rod, by defeating Marquessa's minions guarding the Power Stone spirits. The player controls Mitchell and a number of partners to solve puzzles in the game's overworld and defeat enemies in a turn-based battle system. The battles are unique in that the player can influence the effectiveness of attacks by performing required controller inputs known as "action commands".

The gameplay for the remastering is very similar to the original version, albeit with some modifications made to the game. The battles in *Paper Mitchell DX: Director's Cut* borrow elements from the first original Paper Mitchell game and Paper Mitchell 2.

The core gameplay involves in a traditional role-playing game (RPG) elements with concepts and features from the Mitchell series. For the majority of the game, the player controls Mitchell, who can jump and use his Dizzy Spin to overcome physical obstacles placed in the game's overworld. Many of the game's puzzles and boundaries are based upon the abilities of Mitchell's partners, who each have a specialized skill required for progression in the game. The player accumulates partners as they advance into different locations; only one partner can accompany Mitchell in the overworld, although the player can interchange them at any time.

## Development

Nordic Games GmbH and Square Enix was looking to revisit the series again, and decided on remaking the original game due to it being incredibly outdated by modern standards. The main goal throughout development was to keep the general vibe of the original game, but have the combat mechanics of Paper Mitchell 2 as well as fixes to the game, namely removing the slow start it was infamous for.
