Afterward, the scene focuses on [[Bowser's Castle]], where [[Kammy Koopa]] tells [[Bowser]] about Mario's quest to find the Crystal Stars and Peach's abduction, things that motivate Bowser to hunt for the Crystal Stars and kidnap Peach back. Bowser and Kammy then head for Rogueport.

Back in Petalburg, the group receives an e-mail from Peach, who informs them that she has been kidnapped. Mario and company head back to the Thousand-Year Door to reveal the location of the next Crystal Star.

|FraM=Chapter 1: Mario + castle + dragon

The [[Emerald Star|second Crystal Star]] is revealed to be in [[the Great Tree]], home of small creatures known as [[Puni|Punies]], deep inside [[Boggly Woods]]. When searching for the pipe leading to Boggly Woods in [[Rogueport Sewers]], Mario and his partners encounter [[Punio]], who tells them that the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] have invaded the Great Tree, capturing most of the Punies and that the [[Jabbies]], the Punies' enemies, have allied with the X-Nauts and are trying to kick the Punies out of the Great Tree. Mario and company decide to help out the Punies, and therefore Punio leads the group to the Boggly Woods. After getting there, Mario and company encounter the [[Shadow Sirens]] with a [[Necklace (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|necklace]], who do not recognize him due to having lost a sketch of him. The group continues and arrives at the Great Tree. However, they realize that the tree is locked. Punio suggests they find [[Flurrie|Madame Flurrie]], who can help them find the Tree's secret entrance. Despite this, upon reaching her home, Flurrie reveals she has lost her necklace and does not want anyone to see her without it. Thus, Mario and friends return to the Shadow Sirens and defeat them, this way retrieving the necklace. After returning it to Flurrie, she joins them in their quest. The group finds the secret entrance with her help and manages to enter the Tree; after freeing the locked Punies with the aid of a [[Puni Orb|special orb]] and after solving the Great Tree's puzzles and defeating the [[Jabbies]], they reveal the second Crystal Star at the bottom of the Tree. There, Lord Crump snatches it, and activates a time bomb to blow up the Tree. Upon following him to the entrance, he stops the bomb and uses [[Magnus von Grapple]] to fight the heroes, but he is defeated by the group. As a result, the X-Nauts evacuate the Tree and Mario and company obtain the [[Emerald Star]].

At the X-Naut headquarters, the X-Nauts notify Sir Grodus that Mario has taken the Emerald Star. TEC-XX calls for the Princess, and asks her to dance with him. TEC then lets Peach e-mail Mario.

Meanwhile, Bowser heads for Petalburg, since Kammy tells him that Peach was seen there. After crossing [[World 1 (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Petal Meadows]], he arrives in the town, and upon spotting what he thinks is Peach, he tries talking to her, but she is revealed to be merely a poster owned by a local Koopa Troopa.

|GerM=Chapter 2: The tree of the Bubus<br>(''Bubu'' is the German name for the [[Puni|Punies]].)

|Fra=Chapitre 2: Un grand arbre

|FraM=Chapter 2: A great tree

The [[Gold Star|third Crystal Star]] appears in a [[Glitz Pit|large arena]] on a [[Glitzville|floating town]]. To reach Glitzville, Mario and the gang must visit [[Don Pianta]]. He offers them the ticket they need after doing him a favor. Once Mario and his team arrive in Glitzville, they enter the Glitz Pit, a popular place in which fighters brawl, and spot the Crystal Star on the [[Champ's Belt]], held by [[Rawk Hawk]], the current champion. They sign up in the Pit, battle through the ranks, and eventually gain a [[Mini-Yoshi|newborn Yoshi]] as a partner. Soon, a mysterious figure known only as "X" starts sending cryptic e-mails to Mario. The e-mails lead Mario and his partners to discover that the Star on the belt is a fake, and that the real Crystal Star is being used by [[Grubba]], the promoter of the Glitz Pit. Mario and company expose his wrongdoings and chase him into the arena, where he transforms into [[Macho Grubba]] in order to eliminate Mario and his friends. Nonetheless, the group manages to defeat him. After the battle, [[Jolene]], Grubba's assistant, appears and reveals herself as the mysterious X, explains her story, and gives Mario the [[Gold Star]].

At the X-Naut base, TEC-XX asks Peach to go ask Grodus a question relating to his plans. The Princess goes undercover in an X-Naut disguise and learns that Grodus is plotting to use the Crystal Stars to take over the world. TEC allows her to send this message to Mario.

Meanwhile, Bowser and Kammy are searching for one of the Crystal Stars in the Great Tree, where they discover that Mario already obtained it.

Mario and company receive Peach's message; they promptly reveal the [[Ruby Star|fourth Crystal Star's]] [[Creepy Steeple|location]].

|Fra=Chapitre 3: Vas-y champion!

|FraM=Chapter 3: Go champion!

At the X-Naut base, TEC-XX requests the Princess to participate in a sort of "quiz show" with him. By doing this, she discovers what the "treasure" of [[the Thousand-Year Door]] really is: the soul of an [[Shadow Queen|ancient demon]]. The Princess then relays this information to Mario.

In the meantime, [[Bowser]] continues his quest for the Crystal Stars by flying to [[Glitzville]] in his [[Koopa Clown Car]]. It malfunctions halfway there, though, and he must [[World 2 (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|travel underwater]] in order to return to Rogueport. After he gets there and meets up with Kammy, he orders her to continue her research on the Crystal Stars.

Back at the X-Naut base, TEC-XX wishes to gain access to a disk in [[Sir Grodus]]'s room, and requests Peach to help him. With the aid of an invisibility potion, she secures the disk for TEC, and thus he promises to analyze the data. Peach then sends yet another e-mail to Mario, informing him of this development.

Meanwhile, in Twilight Town, [[Bowser]] and [[Kammy Koopa]] run into Lord Crump. The three get into an argument, which escalates to an armed confrontation between the [[Koopa Troop]] and the X-Nauts. Bowser inadvertently ends up igniting the [[Superbombomb]], knocking out both armies.

|JapM=Stage 5: The Great Pirate of the Tropic Island

|FraM=Chapter 5: Pirate of Tropatroce

The [[Garnet Star|sixth Crystal Star]] is in [[Poshley Sanctum]], located in the ritzy town of [[Poshley Heights]]. The only way to get there is by riding on the famous [[Excess Express]]. After doing [[Don Pianta]] another favor, he gives Mario a train ticket.

Back at the [[X-Naut]] base, the X-Nauts tell [[Grodus]] that Mario now possesses six of the seven [[Crystal Stars]]. They also tell him of TEC's betrayal. Just then, TEC makes the information he gained from Grodus's data disk known to the Princess, and prepares to help Peach escape. Before he is able to, Grodus enters with two X-Nauts and orders them to initiate a data-wipe procedure of TEC's memory. TEC tells Peach "I love you" just before he is shut down.

Meanwhile, Bowser is searching for another Crystal Star, and upon clearing an [[World 3 (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|underground course]], he reaches Rawk Hawk's workout room, where he stumbles across the [[Champ's Belt]]. However, he quickly learns that it does not bear a real Crystal Star, just a glass fake.

|Fra=Chapitre 7: Voyage sur la Lune

|FraM=Chapter 7: Journey to the Moon

Mario and his friends open the Thousand-Year Door with the seven Crystal Stars, allowing them to enter the [[Palace of Shadow]]. The palace itself is full of enemies, puzzles, and traps. Eventually, Mario and company battle and beat a dragon named [[Gloomtail]], Hooktail's older brother, this way making him relinquish the key to access the [[Riddle Tower]]. Upon solving the Tower's puzzles, a secret passage — which leads deeper into the Palace — is opened. Mario and his party continue down that path, but not before defeating the [[Shadow Sirens]], who try to get rid of them. Finally, Mario and company enter the throne room of the Palace, where they confront [[Sir Grodus]], whom they engage in battle. They are able to best him, yet Grodus reveals a captive Peach, whom he uses as a hostage to freely attack Mario and company. Suddenly, [[Bowser]] and [[Kammy]] drop in unexpectedly and land on top of Grodus. The duo seizes the opportunity to fight Mario, but are foiled in the end. Nevertheless, Grodus uses the distraction of the battle to bring Princess Peach into the deepest part of the Palace. There, he opens a sealed coffin and frees the [[Shadow Queen]], the ancient demon of legend. [[Beldam]] appears all of a sudden and announces that she was the one who orchestrated the plot to free her mistress. The Shadow Queen refuses to be controlled by Grodus, and fries him with a lightning bolt, apparently killing him. The Queen proceeds to possess Princess Peach, using her as a vessel to sustain her life. The world is then covered in darkness. Mario and his allies challenge the Queen, but she eventually decides to fight in her real form, in which she is invincible. She proves too much for the group to handle, until the Crystal Stars abruptly react to the evil of the Queen and fly throughout the world, each returning to where they were found, giving the people of the world a chance to cheer on Mario and his party. Their hope breaks through the Queen's invulnerability, and this also lets Peach give the heroes the last of her power. Strengthened, the heroes seal the Shadow Queen forever, saving the world.

{{rewrite-expand|Need Mario's stats and upgrades}}

In terms of gameplay, ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' brings over the core mechanics of the N64 original and enhances them. Mario now has a voice used for jumping and attacking, and starts his adventure with a [[Hammer#Paper_Mario:_The_Thousand-Year_Door|hammer]]. Action Commands can also be performed from the start. However, he has lost the ability to Spin Dash from the original game.  

The partner system is also enhanced. Unlike the original, where partners had a simple fine/injured status system, this game gives partners their own Heart Points. As such, partners can fall in battle, and items such as the Mushroom can be used on them as well. Several partners are similar to ones seen in ''Paper Mario'', like [[Koops]] being the counterpart of [[Kooper]], but generally have more abilities available. Timed moves are more abundant in this game. In addition, battles are set up on a stage, like a play; this greatly affects battles, and characters can interact with the audience and stage.

[[File:PMTTYD Background.png|thumb|Mario wandering around in the background scenery.]]

Another element introduced in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' is the background scenery, which is actually accessible for Mario through certain pipes. Several places which only appear in the background can be visited this way, some of which include Hooktail Castle, the Great Tree, the X-Naut Fortress, and [[Merlee]]'s house in the Rogueport Sewers. This feature was carried over to the next game in the series, ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Certain abilities are disabled here, however: Mario's partners cannot be used in the background, Mario cannot move to a different screen/area, and he also cannot walk past any buildings.

The first intermission allows the player to control [[Princess Peach]], similarly to the intermissions from ''[[Paper Mario]]''. These intermissions follow Peach as she is held captive in the [[X-Naut Fortress]], as well as her interactions with the fortress's main computer, [[TEC-XX]], who had a malfunction upon discovering Peach, causing him to fall in love with her. The intermissions also provide more context to the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]], their motive for kidnapping Peach, and their greater overall plans. At the end of each intermission, Peach sends a message to [[Mario]]'s [[Mailbox SP]].

The Peach intermission is followed by a [[Bowser]] intermission, a new addition to ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. These intermissions serve as {{wp|comic relief}} to contrast the more serious nature of the Peach intermissions. Each intermission follows Bowser and [[Kammy Koopa]]; having discovered that Mario is collecting the [[Crystal Stars]] and Princess Peach has been kidnapped, Bowser sets off to find the Crystal Stars first and kidnap Peach himself. However, Bowser usually visits the places Mario has been to one chapter before, and his search for Peach and the Crystal Stars in each location he visits ends to no avail.

Bowser says a short line when beginning each new attempt of a level. Below is each line in order:

#Inconceivable!

#Charge!

===Paper abilities===

While exploring the game's world, the player encounters [[black chest]]s, which give Mario special abilities to use in the overworld. All of these abilities are based on the paper element of the game's graphics.

!width=40%|Description

!rowspan=4|[[File:PMTTYD Goombella Artwork.jpg|100px]]<br>'''[[Goombella]]

|rowspan=4|A sassy [[Goomba]] who studies at the [[List of implied organizations#University of Goom|University of Goom]]. She is the first character to join Mario (shortly after he defeats [[Lord Crump]]), since she, too, is looking for the legendary treasure. She has the same ability to uncover an [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door bestiary|enemy's stats]] as [[Goombario]] does.

|[[Headbonk]]<br>0 FP||Hits one enemy twice. Does not work on fire enemies, or those with a spiky top.

|[[Tattle]]<br>0 FP||Analyzes one enemy and reveals their [[Heart Point|HP]] and other statistics.

|[[Multibonk]]<br>3 FP||Attacks one enemy repeatedly for diminishing damage (minimum 1 HP per hit). Does not work on fire enemies, or those with a spiky top.

|[[Rally Wink]]<br>4 FP||Allows [[Mario]] to perform a second action, at the expense of her own.

!rowspan=4|[[File:PMTTYD Koops Artwork.png|100px]]<br>'''[[Koops]]

|rowspan=4|A timid Koopa Troopa who lives in [[Petalburg]]. To prove to Petalburg that he is not a coward, and to avenge the death of his father, [[Koopley]], he joins Mario's team. He has the same ability [[Kooper]] has outside of battle: using his shell toss move to activate switches, grab items and attack enemies, but with a slight upgrade — he can hold his shell in place and then launch it back in the opposite direction. Koops has a Defense Power of 1.

 

After defeating [[Hooktail]], he finds out that Koopley is not dead after all, but continues traveling with Mario to become stronger.

|[[Shell Toss]]<br>0 FP||Attacks the frontmost ground-bound or low-hovering enemy. Does not take contact damage from spikes, fire, or electrification.

|[[Power Shell]]<br>3 FP||Attacks all ground-bound and low-hovering enemies. Does not take contact damage from spikes, fire, or electrification.

|[[Shell Shield]]<br>4 FP||Summons a [[Green Shell|Koopa Shell]] to protect Mario from attacks until it breaks.

|[[Shell Slam]]<br>6 FP||Attacks all ground-bound and low-hovering enemies, ignoring their Defense Power. Does not take contact damage from spikes, fire, or electrification.

!rowspan=4|[[File:PMTTYD Flurrie and Heart Artwork.png|100px]]<br>'''[[Flurrie|Madame Flurrie]]

|rowspan=4|A slightly pompous wind spirit and an actress on hiatus that Mario meets in Boggly Woods. Out of battle, she can blow wind at enemies to make them dizzy and stun them, and also to strip fake walls away, revealing secret passages. She joins Mario only after he returns her her lost [[Necklace (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Necklace]], which [[Vivian]] innocently picked up.

|[[Body Slam (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Body Slam]]<br>0 FP||Attacks one enemy. Does not work on fire enemies, or those with a spiky top.

|[[Gale Force]]<br>4 FP||Blows enemies away from battle, earning Star Points in the process. This move is particularly effective against aerial foes, and those who have a level lower than Mario's. In addition, this move clears fog.

|[[Lip Lock]]<br>3 FP||Transfers an enemy's HP to Flurrie's HP. This move pierces Defense Power. Does not work on fire enemies, or those with lateral spikes.

|[[Dodgy Fog]]<br>4 FP||Makes Mario [[dodgy]] for a few turns, so that attacks directed at him miss sometimes.

!rowspan=4|[[File:Yoshikid.jpg|100px]]<br>'''[[Mini-Yoshi|Yoshi]]

|rowspan=4|This belligerent, spunky [[Baby Yoshi|Yoshi baby]] hatches from an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] rescued by Mario and friends. The player can press {{button|gcn|X}} to ride on his back like most Yoshis. He can run much faster than Mario can, and float in the air for a moment to cross gaps; this is similar to [[Parakarry]]'s ability from ''Paper Mario''. The Yoshi's color will vary depending on how many minutes pass before he hatches. He allows Mario to name him.

|[[Ground Pound]]<br>0 FP||Attacks one enemy multiple times, for 1 HP of damage per hit. Does not work on fire enemies, or those with a spiky top.

|[[Gulp]]<br>4 FP||Swallows the frontmost ground-bound enemy and spits it at the ground-bound foe right behind it (if there is one), damaging both of them. This move ignores Defense Power. Does not work on certain bosses.

|[[Mini-Egg]]<br>3 FP||Throws a set amount of eggs at randomly-chosen enemies, dealing 1 HP of damage per hit. This attack may make them [[Tiny (status effect)|tiny]].

|[[Stampede (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Stampede]]<br>6 FP||Calls a herd of [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s to attack all enemies, no matter where they are located on the stage.

!rowspan=4|[[File:PMTTYD Vivian Main Artwork.png|100px]]<br>'''[[Vivian]]

|rowspan=4|The youngest member of the [[Shadow Sirens]]. At first, she works for [[Sir Grodus]], but eventually joins Mario's party to help him get his name, body, and teammates back, because Mario is kinder to her than her sisters. Since he is prevented from telling her who he is as a result of having his identity stolen, she does not realize he is her enemy until their final confrontation with the body thief. She retreats from battle upon learning this, but quickly returns after deciding that Mario has earned her loyalty. She can pull Mario into the shadows with her Veil technique, which is for all practical purposes identical to [[Lady Bow]]'s [[Outta Sight]] move from ''Paper Mario''.

|[[Shade Fist]]<br>0 FP||Punches an enemy and leaves it magically [[burn]]ed. Does not work on fire enemies, and those with lateral spikes. The burn inflicted will detonate bomb-type creatures.

|[[Veil]]<br>1 FP||[[Invisible|Hides Mario and herself in the shadows to negate all damage for one turn]]. Next turn, Vivian will not be able to act. If Mario acts before Vivian uses this move, he will also be unable to act the following turn.

|[[Fiery Jinx]]<br>6 FP||Attacks all enemies with fire, penetrating their Defense Power and leaving them burned. This move is particularly effective against ice and undead enemies, heals fire foes, has no effect on [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, [[Cleft]]s, [[Bristle]]s, and [[Chomp]]s, and detonates bomb-type creatures.

|[[Infatuate]]<br>4 FP||Blows kisses at all enemies, possibly [[Confused|confusing]] them.

!rowspan=4|[[File:PMTTYD Bobbery Artwork.png|100px]]<br>'''[[Admiral Bobbery]]

|rowspan=4|A retired [[Bob-omb]] admiral who at first refuses to help Mario reach [[Keelhaul Key]], but changes his mind when Mario delivers his late wife's letter to him. After Mario saves him from Cortez's underlings and gives him [[Chuckola Cola (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Chuckola Cola]], he joins Mario's team. He possesses the same ability [[Bombette]] has outside of battle: with his bomb attack, he can destroy cracked walls, activate switches and attack enemies. However, he can be tossed upwards to walk on elevated ledges. Bobbery's [[Appeal]] tactic clears fog.

|[[Bomb (Paper Mario series)|Bomb]]<br>0 FP||Attacks the frontmost ground-bound enemy. This move is particularly effective against fire and undead enemies, can flip Clefts, detonates bomb-type foes, and clears fog, but has no effect on Buzzy Beetles.

|[[Bomb Squad]]<br>3 FP||Sets up three time bombs to explode on the next turn.

|[[Hold Fast]]<br>4 FP||[[Payback|Damages all enemies that make contact with Bobbery]].

|[[Bob-ombast]]<br>9 FP||Powerfully bombs all enemies. This move will ground all foes, flip Clefts, detonate bomb-type creatures, and clear fog, but will not damage Buzzy Beetles.

!rowspan=4|[[File:PMTTYD Ms Mowz Artwork.png|100px]]<br>'''[[Ms. Mowz]]

|rowspan=4|A flirty [[Little Mouser|Squeek]] cat burglar and badge hunter and the manager of the [[Lovely Howz of Badges]]. Mario and his teammates cross paths with her at [[Hooktail Castle]], [[the Great Tree]], and the [[Glitz Pit]] storeroom. She is an optional partner who joins Mario if he chooses to solve her trouble at the [[Trouble Center]] in [[Rogueport]]. To help her, Mario has to get the Attack FX B badge in Hooktail's lair and give it to Ms. Mowz.

|[[Love Slap]]<br>0 FP||Attacks one ground-based enemy, ignoring their Defense Power. Does not work on fire enemies, and those with lateral spikes.

|[[Kiss Thief]]<br>2 FP||Steals a ground-bound enemy's held badge or item.

|[[Tease]]<br>3 FP||Makes all enemies [[dizzy]]. This move is particularly effective on aerial enemies.

|[[Smooch (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Smooch]]<br>10 FP||If successful, Mario recovers up to 10 HP.

Battles take place on a stage. In addition to the traditional turn-based combat, the characters on-stage interact with the scenery: sometimes the background falls (damaging all characters on stage and possibly making them [[dizzy]]), the audience helps Mario gain Star Power and may throw Mario useful items or pelt Mario and his partners with garbage, and lastly, some bosses even exploit the audience for their own benefit (for example, [[Hooktail]] will eventually eat some of the audience members to regain 10 HP, which causes all the other spectators to flee, therefore making it impossible to gain any Star Power).
