Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door for $30
Paper-Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is one of the most beloved Mario games of all time. The Nintendo Switch remake introduced several novel features and quality of life updates, including a Partner Ring that allows you to quickly switch between partners, as well as novel badges to unlock. Additionally, you can browse concept art and listen to the soundtrack in art and sound galleries, which can be filled by obtaining star items. Additionally, a lot of work has been put into the visual department with updated icons, improved graphics, and novel lighting added to provide a more advanced experience.
The star of the series is, of course, the turn-based combat that Paper Mario is celebrated for. Battles take place on a stage with toads in the audience, who can actually change the course of the battle by replenishing the SP gauge. Each turn you will have the opportunity to choose your attack, whether it be a jump, hammer, or a special move. The Thousand-Year Door is a strategy game that is a huge change from the customary Mario formula known from 3D platformers.
