 *Mario must solve a mystery in both games. A [[Bumpty]] is Mario's fellow detective in both.
-*In one point of the games, Mario falls for a ploy created by the boss of the level which led him to be confined in a cage. A ? block in ''Paper Mario'', and a fake puni pedestal in ''The Thousand-Year Door''.

+*[[#Chapter 1: Castle and Dragon|Chapter 1]] in both games features a castle/fortress as the location of the boss, with both being located in peaceful, green plains. Additionally, both bosses are revered by denizens of the local town ([[Koopa Village]] and [[Petalburg]], respectively, which are both largely inhabited by [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]s). Both towns feature a distinctive, elderly Koopa ([[Kroop]] and [[Koopa Koot]], respectively).

For ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', the denizens of Twilight Town are being turned into pigs at the toll of a bell.

 *[[#Chapter 5: The Key to Pirates|Chapter 5]] takes place on a tropical island with coconuts in both games and both involve an expedition. Also, in both games this is when Mario's oldest partner joins him, and they both have to be rescued from being stuck in a tree before they do so.

-*After the battle against Cortez was over, one of the [[Toad (species)|Toad]] sailors will tell everyone that he feels a "slight wind" coming from the cracked wall, just as [[Misstar]] did in the first one. Also, the Bob-omb partner of both games is needed to blow that up. Also, the most frequently fought boss of both games conveniently show up after Chapter 5 is completed.
