Join Mario and friends on an epic paper adventure
A classic story unfolds on the Nintendo Switch system.
Collect the Crystal Stars before the bad guys do
The X-Nauts are after the treasure behind the Thousand-Year Door! With a map from Princess Peach—and the help of a few locals—Mario must journey through a colorful world made of paper to find it first.
The stars of the show
Surprises abound in this deep and engaging tale, where everyone’s got something to say and it’s often not what you’d expect! Here are just a few of the colorful characters you’ll encounter along the way.
Mario
(A man of few words, Mario rarely speaks and prefers to let his hammer do the talking.)
Peach
“I cannot believe this! You X-Jerks kidnapped me before I could even begin to enjoy my vacation!”
Bowser
“Princess Peach and the legendary treasure will be MINE!”
Goombella
“My name's Goombella. I'm a junior at the University of Goom. Nice to meet ya!”
Koops
“My tummy's getting upset... Let's find the guy in charge before I lose my nerve!”
Madame Flurrie
“I shall ever love the stage! I must feel the spotlight shine on me again! I MUST!”
Yoshi
“I can hold my own! I'll swallow any opponent whole, honest! Just leave it to me!”
Three Shadows (Beldam, Marilyn, and Vivian)
“Mmmmwee hee hee hee! Time to go to work, lovelies!”
Lord Crump
“OK, you pests! One pummeling, coming up...with extra fists!”
Grodus
“All will kneel before the X-Naut regime! And then I, Grodus, will build a new world!”
