Paper Mario

The entire script, text, entire scenario extracted from the Paper Mario video game for the Nintendo 64 all in order. Work in progress.

Note: the underlines that appear under some characters names are ordinary NPCs that are optional to talk to.

Introduction
Narrator text: Today... I'm going to tell the story of "Star Spirits and Good Wishes".

(Blank stage background rolls to isle in night sky with stars surrounding it.)

Far, far away, beyond the sky, way above the clouds, it's been said that there's a haven where the Stars live.

(Backdrops slides to the haven sanctuary.)

In the sanctuary of Star Haven there rests a fable treasure called the Star Rod, which has the power to grant all wishes.

(Backdrop slides to a closer view of Star Rod.)

Using this wondrous Star Rod, the seven revered Star Spirits watched over our peaceful world carefully...very carefully.

(Backdrop slides to a zoomed out view of the rod, with a taped image of Kammy Koopa overhead.)

And then...

Oh dear...

What the...?

Who stuck that weird thing into this story?

(Back view of Bowser slides up.)

Bowser: Ha ha ha! Yeah! I did! Gwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! So I can, at long last, beat my archenemy, Mario. I'll take this Star Rod! (Flies up to the right of screen, and the backdrop changes to a closer view of the Kammy image.) Do it, Kammy Koopa!!

(Kammy's wand begins to glow, and electrifying sparks shoot out all over, startling all the Star Spirits, then Bowser uses his fire breath to stop the glowing of the rod.)

Narrator text: No, you mustn't do that!!

(Cut to Skolar and Misstar backing up.)

Bowser: Yeah! Now let's try using it!

(The rod begins to glow, and a ripple passes through the stars, making them all fly onto cards hovering around Kammy.)

Narrator text: Stop it! Cut it out, Bowser!! You're changing the story!!

Bowser: Bwa ha ha ha ha... We did it! That was a piece o' cake!! Gwaa ha ha!

(Bowser and Kammy fly to the top off the scenery, as the scene fades to black and to the outside of the sanctuary. Twink passes by.)

Narrator: Now Star Kids may rise to the Star Haven to deliver people's wishes...

...but those wishes will not come true.

Whatever can they do?

(The stage backdrop fades to white, and the game's title card appears.)

Going to Peach's castle
(After the player starts a file, the scene then fades to Mario's house. Parakarry flies down and puts a letter in Mario's mailbox.)

Parakarry: Mail call!

(Parakarry flies off and Luigi comes out of the house to grab the letter inside the mailbox.)

Luigi: Hey, Mario! We got a letter from Princess Peach! (Mario walks into the dining room where Luigi is at.) I'll read it to you, OK? (Opens letter) Alright, let's see...

(Scene cuts to letter with Peach's Castle in the background.)

''I'm throwing a party at my castle today! ''

Mario and Luigi, I would be honored if you both could attend.

Many guests from distant towns are hoping to meet you.

''There will be tasty sweets and all kinds of entertainment! ''

I hope to see you here soon!

Sincerely, Peach

(Mario and Luigi leave their house and take a pipe to Toad Town, then they walk inside to Peach's Castle.)

Main lobby
Luigi: What a magnificent castle! I never get used to this place. It looks like lots of guests are already here.

Toad standing on right side of Mario : Mario, you're looking well! Please enjoy the party, OK?

Toad walking around: Wow! I've never seen so many guests from different parts of the world in one place! I'll bet you could hear some stories about places you've never been to, huh?

Toad Guard: Welcome to Peach's Castle!

Green Toad: Hey...urp...Mario! I hope you brought an appetite, there's so much good food here! I already ate too much...I'm taking a breather. Well, that's enough of a rest! I'm hungry again! Let's eat! To the buffet table!!!

Russ T.: Ah! Salutations, Mario! Do you know Frost T. here? He's come all the way from the Shiver region, which lies far to the north of here.
