Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was released earlier this year as a remake of the original title and features a typical plot that is seen in a lot of the games in the franchise.

In this remake, Princess Peach sends Mario a treasure map that leads him to sail to Rogueport in order to meet up with the Mushroom Kingdom's royal.

However, when the hero gets there, Princess Peach is nowhere to be found and thus begins the journey to rescue the princess.

This Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door tips and tricks guide will help beginners get ready for what their journey has in store in this beautiful land.

Check Behind Objects

The world of the game is technically a 2D model and everything is rendered with a flat quality in order to mimic the quality of paper.

However, you should still try to think in 3D because there are usually hidden secrets that you can find if you look hard enough, according to GameRant.

Sometimes you will see a wall that doesn't quite line up with its surroundings and you discover that it is actually hiding an entirely different area. There will also be times when you find collectibles such as Star Pieces hiding behind various objects.

Master the Art of Battles

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, players primarily control Mario himself but during battles, you can have one additional character to help you. Every party member that you recruit can be swapped out as well.

Another thing to keep an eye out for are enemies' weaknesses which you should take a look at behind deciding the party's order of things. Sometimes there are flying enemies and you have Mario and Koops, which means that Mario should be going first.

Pick Up Drops

Whenever you defeat an enemy, the game doesn't automatically loot the items they drop for you and you have to manually do it yourself.

This can sometimes be a chore but every single resource counts if you plan on beating the game with the highest chance you can, said Polygon.

Entertain the Audience

In a lot of the battles in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, there will be an audience watching everything. Being good with the Action Command timing will help fill the audience's Star Power meter. When this is full, you can pull off a Special Move, according to Nintendo.
