Prologue: Welcome to Rogueport of the Prologue
I am giving a reception in my castle today! Mario and Luigi, it would be an honor to greet you. Many guests from near and far are hoping for your appearance. A magnificent banquet and all kinds of entertainment await you here! The Princess Peach
The First Fight
As soon as you can move, go through the door at the top. After the second door you reach a long corridor, at the end of which you meet Princess Peach. After a little conversation, the castle takes off and Bowser flies through the window. This is followed by a fight against the king of the Koopas. To anticipate, you will lose this battle. Since Bowser stole the star rod, it is invincible for you at this time. If you have lost the battle, you end up in a clearing of Goomba Village and thus begins the prologue: Welcome to Rogueport by Paper Mario!
Awakening in Goomba Village
After listening to the words of the seven high stars, you wake up in the Toad house, where the Nobel star again appeals to you and conveys your mission. After that you can move and should first go outside. Go into the big house and through the door at the back right. Talk to Goompa and leave the house afterwards. Now you’re talking to Gumpapa who’s at the gate. Unfortunately, you cannot leave the village as Kammy Koopa clan clan blocks the path with a large yellow block.
Fight against Jr. Troopae
Go back to the porch where you just met Goompa. Unfortunately, this one is no longer there and you plunge into the depths. Down there you meet Goompa, who crashed like you and lost the hammer. This can be found in the section on the left in the far left bush. With this hammer you can now destroy the yellow blocks and hit things from trees. With the help of the hammer you can find Dolly in the tree on the right. Leave this place again and you will meet Jr. Troopa who challenges you to fight. Strike him a few times with the hammer and attack him with jumps, if you defeat him you get 20 star points.

Your first items
Destroy the yellow block that blocks the path, before you can find a mushroom in the tree. Go right up and jump up with the trampoline to reach a Fire Flower. In the next section you will meet the first real opponents. Defeat them by jumps or with hammer strikes. Goompa always tells you which is the best tactic. A little further up the road leads back again. Follow this path to get a Star Piece, you have it you can go further to the right. You land again in the village, where you first get a Star Piece from Goombaria for the return of Dolly. After that, Goompa will tell you how to put badges on, but after his lesson you will have to put the badges “Power Jump” on again (;). Now Goombario joins your team. If this whole sequence is over, you should first rest in the Toad House and save your progress once. In addition to the Save Block, you can beat a gum nut from the tree, this is important later. Now destroy the block and leave the village.

The Goomba Street
You are on Goomba Street, here live, as the name suggests, many Goombas. Fight a little to get to know the game principle. It is not necessary that you scan an opponent. But this way you will find out how many HP your opponents have and Goombario usually reveals a small tactic on how best to defeat the opponent. In the second section you will find another badge “Close Call” in the red block, which you should first create. On the sign afterwards you get a mushroom. In the end, you can regenerate your powers, which you should do, because a fight follows.

The Red, the Blue and the Goomba King
Your opponents are the red and the blue Goomba, which are slightly stronger than the normal ones. It is best to use a Power Jump twice for the blue Goomba so that he is defeated. You can now defeat the red with simple jumps. Once you have defeated both, you fill up your energy again and can then store on the right. Now follow the two Goombas to the castle. Here you will meet the Goomba King. First you should use the Fire Flower so that the two Goombas are defeated. In the next attack, you hit the Gumnus tree with the hammer so that the big fruit falls on the Goomba king and takes 3 HP from him. Now you can defeat the king with a simple power jump. By now, you should have so many star points that you climb a level. Increase your BP number.

Another badge
If he is taken to flight, you will find the next Star Pieces in the tree crown. In the bushes in front of the castle is the switch that activates the bridge. If you press this, the castle flies into the air and you can travel further. On the other, in the foreground, hidden in a block, you will find a super mushroom. Leave this area and the spectacle changes to Bowser’s castle. Here you will learn that Bowser sends the Koopa clan clan clan brothers to stop you. It will continue again in the Mushroom Kingdom. In the new section, you will receive the item Sleepy Sheep in the next block. In the tree that is just before the entrance gate, you will find a trampoline. Slap this down and get the badges “Hammer Throw”, then you can enter Toad-Town.
How Bowser gained power
In the city you will find another Toad House where you can rest first, next to it is a storage block. To the left of the house with the rotating roof is a tree, in its crown is another Star Pieces. Now go through the great Stargate and follow the path to the Shooting Star Summit. Before you go all the way up, if you go left, you’ll find another Star Pieces. Now you can go upstairs and listen to the story of the high stars, at the end the scene changes back to the castle. Here you get to know Twink, who is supposed to bring the lucky star.
The Action Commands
Leave the summit and return to Toad Town. Along the way, you will meet Twink, who will give you the lucky star and now explain the action commands. Once you have passed the tutorial, Magikoopa will fly in and challenge you to the fight. With the just learned commands it is now no problem. If you use a power jump twice, she is already defeated. This would all be done and you can really return to Toad-Town. Merlon is waiting for you in his house. Tap twice before he lets you in. After an endless speech, you leave the house to the east again. Here, four dark toads block the way. Ask Merlon for help. This exposes them as the Koopa clan clan clan brothers and the way to their fortress is free. Save your score and follow the path.
