Join Mario and friends on an epic paper adventure
A classic story unfolds on the Nintendo Switch system.
Collect the Crystal Stars before the bad guys do
The X-Nauts are after the treasure behind the Thousand-Year Door! With a map from Princess Peach—and the help of a few locals—Mario must journey through a colorful world made of paper to find it first.
The stars of the show
Surprises abound in this deep and engaging tale, where everyone’s got something to say and it’s often not what you’d expect! Here are just a few of the colorful characters you’ll encounter along the way.
Mario
(A man of few words, Mario rarely speaks and prefers to let his hammer do the talking.)

Know when to fold ‘em
Master your badges and timing-based attacks to impress the audience in a theatrical twist on turn-based RPG combat.

Badges
Earn and equip badges to customize your stats and abilities.
Special Moves
Collect Crystal Stars to unlock powerful moves.
“Cursed” Abilities
Find a Black Key to unlock a chest and get “cursed” with abilities that turn Mario into a plane, a tube, a boat, and more!
Leaf through a storybook world
Explore a colorful paper world with charming characters in every fold.
