About this game

Up in Star Haven, there exists a Star Wand that allows the stars to grant wishes to those who are pure of heart.

The Star Wand is looked over by the Seven Star Spirits, who protect it in its sanctuary.

However, Bowser attacks Star Haven, steals the Star Wand, and locks up the Star Spirits so that they cannot challenge his power.

With his new powers, Bowser defeats Mario and lifts Princess Peach's castle into the air, taking her and all her guests as prisoners.

Now, the only way to challenge Bowser's unbridled power is to rescue all seven Star Spirits, which have been imprisoned all over the land.

Paper Mario is the follow-up to Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars .

Basically, this is an RPG set in the Mario universe.

Mario has the ability to gain experience and grow levels by defeating enemies and bosses.

Mario also has the ability to recruit teammates to help him out in turn-based battles.

As well, Mario can collect badges that will help his combat abilities, star pieces that he can trade for badges, and more items that he can use throughout the game.

The Star Spirits will also aid him in his quest.

All the characters in the game are 2D within a fully 3D world.

This gives the feeling that each character is made out of "paper".

About Nintendo Wii

Launched in 2006, the Wii's motion controls (Wii Remote) brought casual and non-traditional players into console gaming at a scale no prior system had achieved, making it one of the best-selling consoles ever. Because so many Wii units sold with bundled software like Wii Sports, the bulk of the library is inexpensive to collect — but it also means truly rare Wii titles (often niche Japanese-only releases) stand out sharply from the norm.

Gamevaro tracks Paper Mario for Nintendo Wii with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Paper Mario to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WII release dates back to 2007.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Paper Mario, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Wii titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
