    Super Paper Mario (Japanese: スーパーペーパーマリオ Sūpā Pēpā Mario) is a Platform/role-playing video game currently in development by Intelligent Systems, a division of Nintendo. It is to be released on GameCube, but is also in development for the Wii. It is similar to the previous two Paper Mario titles and the Super Mario Bros. for the Famicom / Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The game will combine side-scrolling 2D gameplay with free roaming 3D graphics and to a somewhat lesser extent, RPG elements (unlike the RPG-style gameplay of previous Paper Mario games.) . The gaming web site IGN claimed that Super Paper Mario has been moved to the Wii. * (last response on page) This has been further confirmed by Nintendo in its list of upcoming Wii titles, put up during the September 14 event. The list also says the Wii release would not be out until 2007 , although Nintendo's North American site still has it as a GameCube title.

    Gameplay
    Super Paper Mario will be the second Paper Mario game to feature side-scrolling platforming gameplay ( featured three platforming levels for Bowser during its story); Mario, Peach, and Bowser will each be available as playable characters, and the player may be able to swap between characters at any time during a level.

    Characters and Abilities

    The E3 trailer showcased several new abilities and power-ups, one of which is a space helmet: Mario is seen floating in mid-air while shooting enemies with a ray gun, and also running sideways down a wall.

    Each playable character will have different character traits, as well as a special character-related move. For example:

      Mario - Mario's special move turns the world 90° for a limited time, allowing the player to play in a 3-dimensional environment. This reveals hidden objects invisible in 2-dimensional mode.
      Princess Peach - Being the lightest, Peach can jump the highest, and similar to her move in Super Princess Peach, can use a parasol to glide large distances while floating slowly towards the ground. It is unknown if she also uses it to attack enemies like in the aforementioned game.
      Bowser - The largest, heaviest, and slowest-moving character out of the three. Bowser retains his ability to breathe fire, which does more damage than a normal attack.
      Other Characters - two other characters seem to follow the player-a square/triangle/circle surrounded by dots or with wings, and a colorful butterfly. Their purposes are unknown.

    Power ups

      Mushrooms: In the Mario RPGs, Mushrooms increase the player's health (as opposed to traditional side-scrolling Mario games, where the Mushroom increased the character's size).
      Starmen: Starmen make the character grow to immense size (similar to the Mega Mushroom in New Super Mario Bros.), allowing him or her to crash through the level, effectively invincible. The characters turn into NES-style sprites when this happens.
      Red Flowers: Deviating from their traditional role of allowing Mario to throw fireballs, these make him move faster.
      Blue Flowers: The opposite of a Red Flower; these make the player move more slowly.

    Enemies
    The trailer has shown that staple Mario enemies, such as Goombas, Koopa Troopas, Hammer Bros. and so on, will make a return appearance in the game, although two new enemies, a purple square with a beak, and a blue version of said enemy, have appeared so far.

    Also, there appears to be a boss character based on a chinese dragon, There also seems to be some sort of mummy boss, a big-headed chomping boss and a giant Blooper boss, as seen in these screenshots, respectively. ***
