|The original ''[[Paper Mario]]'', released in Japan as ''Mario Story'' and originally known as ''Super Mario RPG 2'', was released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000/2001 to positive media reaction and commercial success. It is set in a paper-based version of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] where as Mario is attending a party at [[Peach's Castle|Peach's castle]], the palace is suddenly uprooted and lifted into the sky by [[Bowser's Castle#Paper Mario|Bowser's aerial fortress]]. The Koopa King invades the castle, emerges victorious over Mario, and kidnaps the princess. The story centers on Mario as he tries to reclaim the seven [[Star Spirits]], whom Bowser and his assistant [[Kammy Koopa]] had incarcerated in playing cards in an invasion of their residence, [[Star Haven]], during which the tyrant also stole their fabled treasure, the wish-granting [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]], which he had used in his defeat of Mario to make himself completely invincible. | |The original ''[[Paper Mario]]'', released in Japan as ''Mario Story'' and originally known as ''Super Mario RPG 2'', was released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000/2001 to positive media reaction and commercial success.
