The third installment in the ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' series of [[RolePlayingGame RPGs]], ''Super Paper Mario'' (Wii, 2007) mixes it up a bit by being... well, ''[[OddballInTheSeries totally different]]'' from its predecessors. Instead of being a turn-based RPG with action elements like the first two games, ''Super Paper Mario'' is a side-scrolling platformer with RPG elements. One of the most interesting features of the game is the ability to switch between 2D and 3D view at will--a lot of puzzles can only be solved in 3D, and switching to 3D will often show enemies and items that you couldn't see (or interact with) before.

Mario and Luigi hear that Princess Peach has been kidnapped (again) and go off to Bowser's Castle, only to hear that [[NotMeThisTime he didn't do it]]. At that moment, the real culprit, [[BigBad Count Bleck]], appears with Peach and declares his intent to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy all dimensions]] to replace them with [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans perfect new ones]], as foretold in the Dark Prognosticus he wields. He then takes Bowser, the Koopa Troop, and Luigi to his stronghold, Castle Bleck. Mario is left out cold until he is awoken by Tippi, a being called a Pixl in the shape of a butterfly who brings him to the town of Flipside, a place between dimensions. Here he meets Merlon, who holds the Light Prognosticus, a book created to counter the Dark Prognosticus and foretells of a group of heroes who will save existence. Meanwhile, Bleck forces a marriage between Bowser and Peach, summoning the Chaos Heart and causing a rift called The Void to appear, which Bleck plans to use to destroy all dimensions. Mario and Tippi must journey throughout dimensions and collect the Pure Hearts, which can counter the Chaos Heart, and fight Bleck and his strange team of villains--the Secretary [[CharmPerson Nastasia]], the brutish [[ViolentGlaswegian O'Chunks]], the shapeshifting [[VoluntaryShapeshifter Mimi]], and the jester [[MonsterClown Dimentio]]--to save the multiverse... and, in the process, figure out just ''why'' Bleck seeks to destroy everything.
