'''Plane Mario''' is one of [[Mario]]'s many whimsical transformations seen in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Like his other origami-themed forms, it is granted to him in the form of a "curse" from one of the [[Black Chest Demon]]s.

Plane Mario Mode allows Mario to morph into a paper airplane. This useful move, however, can only happen when pressing the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] controller's "Y" button on top of a [[Plane Panel]]. Is is very similar to the [[Boat Mode]] in this manner. As a paper airplane, Mario will constantly float downward at a diagonal angle, and this slope may be leveled off by tilting the Control Stick in the opposite direction of Plane Mario's descent. Flying in this manner, though, will result in the ride being slower, sometimes taken to the extreme of Plane Mario dropping straight to the ground. If necessary, the [[player]] can end Plane Mario's ride by pressing "B", resulting in Plane Mario transforming back into his standard self.

Plane Mode is one of Mario's transformations seen in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its remake, and the first one obtained. Like his other origami-themed forms, it is granted to him in the form of a "curse" from one of the Black Chest Demons in Rogueport Underground.

Plane Mode allows Mario to morph into a paper plane. However, this move can only be activated when pressing Y Button on top of a plane panel. It is very similar to Boat Mode in this manner. As a paper plane, Mario will constantly float downward at a diagonal angle, and this slope may be leveled off by tilting Control Stick in the opposite direction of Mario's descent. Flying in this manner, though, will result in the ride being slower, sometimes taken to the extreme of Mario dropping straight to the ground. If necessary, the player can end Mario's ride as a paper plane by pressing B Button, resulting in Mario transforming back into his standard self.

Like the rest of the "cursed" transformations, there is a minigame in the Pianta Parlor based around this mode.

On May 30, 2024, to promote the game's Nintendo Switch remake, Nintendo of America released a Snapchat Lens based on Mario's Plane Mode whereby users of this application can turn a photograph into an AR paper plane, then flick it forward to send it flying over the visuals captured by their camera.[1] Nintendo posted the Snapcode for this lens on their social media accounts.[2][3]
