''Paper Mario''{{'}}s gameplay is a blend of traditional Japanese role-playing games and ''Super Mario''-esque [[Genre#Platform|platforming]] features; Mario has the ability to jump in both the overworld and in battle, and jumping remains one of the most important actions in the game. The player controls Mario and a party of followers as they journey through the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], exploring dungeons, managing stats, and battling enemies.

After waking up, Mario meets the Goomba family who found him, including [[Goombario]], the family's son. Kammy Koopa appears to confirm that Mario is still alive, and blocks the gate out of Goomba Village with a [[Yellow Block]]. When Mario goes to get a hammer from [[Goompa]], the family's grandfather, the balcony behind the house is missing. After a short venture that involves Mario saving Goompa and a battle with a local troublemaker called [[Jr. Troopa]], Goompa requests that Goombario join Mario on his quest and together they leave Goomba Village by breaking the block using Goompa's hammer. While traveling [[Goomba Road]], the connecting strip of land between Goomba Village and Toad Town, Mario and Goombario are confronted by the [[Goomboss|Goomba King]] and his two lackeys, the [[Red & Blue Goomba Bros.]] The protagonists manage to defeat them and reach Toad Town, where they continue on towards Shooting Star Summit. | ||

To win a battle, the player must eliminate all enemies on the opposite side, either by defeating them or by making them run away. An enemy counts as defeated if their [[Heart Point]]s (HP) are dropped to zero. Likewise, if Mario's HP drop to zero without a [[Life Shroom]] in his inventory, the battle is lost. The player can keep track of Mario's HP and various other stats with the battle statistic on the top side of the screen. | To win a battle, the player must eliminate all enemies on the opposite side, either by defeating them or by making them run away.

During battle, the player and the enemies take turns attacking. The damage an attack will do is determined by the attack's power minus the target's defense rating. During the player's turn, Mario and the currently active party member each get an action, the order being changeable by pressing {{button|n64|Z}}. | During battle, the player and the enemies take turns attacking.

Mario's main attack options all fall into the two categories of "hammer" and "jump". The condition of the targeted enemy may make one or both of these options either inaccessible or inadvisable. Hammer attacks have a limited range and can only attack the first ground-bound enemy of a group. Jump attacks on the other hand can reach past enemies standing in the way, or attack enemies flying out of reach, but jumping on a spiked or otherwise hazardous foe cancels the attack and makes Mario take 1 HP of damage. | Mario's main attack options all fall into the two categories of "hammer" and "jump".
