The fan-favorite paper RPG, remade and looking better than ever.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is widely considered the high point of the Paper Mario series, and this Nintendo Switch remake brings it back better than ever. For RPG fans — or anyone who missed it the first time — it's a standout pick.
The Thousand-Year Door wraps a charming, funny adventure around battles that play out on a stage, with an audience you can win over for bonuses. Mario's papery nature is part of the fun: he folds into planes, boats, and tubes to solve puzzles, while timing-based attacks and a colorful crew of partners keep combat lively.
This version rebuilds the classic with lovely updated visuals and modern quality-of-life touches, so it looks and feels great on Switch while keeping everything fans loved about the original intact.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is available digitally on the Nintendo eShop. The simplest way to download it is with a Nintendo eShop card — instant email delivery, funds straight toward the game. New to redeeming? See how to redeem an eShop card on Switch.
