Opting to drop the more classic platforming elements of the standard Super Mario series, Paper Mario instead took our favorite plumber and his friends on an RPG-like adventure, complete with turn-based combat. Its popularity quickly grew from there and today, the Paper Mario series has multiple entries in it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In fact, a new entry, Paper Mario: The Origami King, hit Switch last year. You can read our thoughts on it in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/paper-mario-the-origami-king\/paper-mario-the-origami-king-review-just-above-the-fold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Game Informer\u2019s<\/em> Paper Mario: The Origami King review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Nintendo\u2019s official description for Paper Mario: \u201cAfter Bowser steals the Star Rod and kidnaps Princess Peach, Mario plots to rescue the seven Star Spirits and free the Mushroom Kingdom from the Koopa\u2019s rule. As Mario travels from the tropical jungles of Lavalava Island to the frosty heights of Shiver Mountain, he\u2019ll need all the help he can get. Master the abilities of the seven Star Spirits and the other allies joining the adventure to aid our hero on the battlefield.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As noted above, you must be subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, which was revealed back in October.
