While the Switch is no longer very young and the big new releases are fewer in number, games from the universe of Mario have been legion for several months. So, last September, we learned excellent news that was extremely well received in the community, namely the return of Paper Mario: The Millennium Door through a remake. However, we had to wait until Mario Day to find out the release date. If you don’t know this GameCube game, Nintendo uploaded one of his usual presentation videoswhich therefore contains elements that can be considered as spoilers on the first chapters of the adventure. For connoisseurs, this is the opportunity to admire this new version in more detail. Since we have already taken it in hand, we also advise you to take a look at our impressions via the link at the end of the article.

Mario acquires them in a very amusing way throughout the story, becoming capable of changing into a paper airplane, changing perspective to slip into narrow spaces, rolling up or even performing a super jump to escape. hang on rods. The particularity of this episode is to give us control of each chapter at the end of peach And Bowserallowing you to see what is happening on their side.

This also happens through turn-based battles using action controls inherited from Super Mario RPG. The originality comes from the presence of an audience within a theater stage, giving rise to some game mechanics. A badge system allows us to personalize our play style depending on the situation, while very useful objects can also be used.
Several additional activities are also highlighted with the casino and the 100-story dungeon accessible quite quickly, but which will still require being at an advanced stage to hope to overcome it.
