Paper Mario	The series began in 2000 with Paper Mario. This was the second Mario RPG game, the first being Super Mario RPG. This game was originally going to be called Super Mario RPG 2, but the name was changed due to problems with Square Enix, the company that made Super Mario RPG. The game started of with Mario recieving an invitation to Princess Peach's Castle. But when he arrives the castleis lifted up into the sky. This was caused by Bowser, who had stolen the legendary Star Rod, which could grant people's wishes. Bowser throws Mario out of the castle, and so his adventure begins.

Super Paper Mario	The most recent installment, Super Paper Mario, had a very different battle style to the other games. Instead of going into a stage and choosing your attacks, the characters simply had to run and jump or use one of a pixl's moves to defeat an enemy. The story starts with Mario and Luigi at there house, when a Toad appears and tells them that Princess Peach has been kidnapped. The Mario Bros. blame Bowser, but when they reach his castle, the real kidnapper, Count Bleck, appears. Bleck sucks everyone into a balck hole except Mario, who is then found by a pixl named Tippi, who tells him that he needs to finnd the seven Pure Hearts to save his friends.
