History FanFic / PaperMarioX

* NintendoHard: {{Subverted|Trope}}, ironically, as every boss character is taken down without hardly a sweat.
** Played straight in ''Paper Luigi X'', though: either Luigi messes something up or the boss literally is hard and poses a legitimate challenge.

Telling the tale of the first three games, these stories place in characters from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'', ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'', ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' with the main four [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] characters of the games. They come with four teams, each with different members:

* '''Team Mario''': The main heroes. Consists of italian plumber Mario, hyrule knight Link, speedy hedgehog Sonic, pink puffball Kirby, and bounty hunter Samus.

* '''Team BEG''': The ''supposedly'' villains. Consists of giant koopa Bowser, dark lord Ganondorf, and overweight doctor Eggman.

WordOfGod says that the fanfiction based on ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'' is on the back burner for now, due to dismotivation and the fact that she, like most people, thinks Sticker Star is not a good game.

** Link makes one to ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'' in the beginning of Chapter 27 of ''Paper Mario X'', when the group receives Skolar's Star Power.[[note]]Which is Star Storm, which is Poo's most powerful move.[[/note]] Ness himself makes a cameo in the epilogue to SPMX, along with [[VideoGame/MOTHER3 Lucas]] and [[VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings Ninten]].

** Link makes one to ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'' in Chapter 17 of ''Paper Mario X 2'', where he compares the Punies that are following the team to Olimar's Pikmin.[[note]]If you check the previously linked page, you'll see that that actually ''is'' a shout out to ''Pikmin'' in [[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor the original game.]][[/note]]

* FiveManBand: Team Mario and Team Luigi.
** TheHero: Mario and Luigi.
** TheSmartGuy: Kirby and Tails.
** TheLancer: Sonic and Meta Knight.
** TheBigGuy: Link and Knuckles.
** TheChick: Samus and Malon.
** SixthRanger: The partners.

* {{Action Girl}}s: Team ZAP and Malon.

** Team Bowser also has this.

* CharacterLevel: In ''Paper Mario X'' and ''Thousand Year Door''.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Link does this ALOT.
** Occasionally other characters (even the narrator sometimes) will do this as well. Child is pretty much the LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} or Barbara Dunkelman of fanfics.

* MegaCrossover: But of course.

* OhCrap: The teams when falling in World 5 of ''Super''.

* PungeonMaster: Link. Zelda, too, to an extent, to the point where Amy claims that she has been hanging out with Link too much.
* TheQuietOne: Mario may be classified as this.

** During Team ZAP's initial sneaking around on Peach's castle in chapter 19 of the first story, the group compares these actions to the actions of [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]].[[note]]This may be a FandomNod to Solid Peach, though.[[/note]]

* '''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4799731/1/Paper-Mario-X Paper Mario X]]''': ''"Paper Mario novelization with a twist: the X stands for crossover! When dark times come across the lands, and there's no use wishing on a star…sometimes the best thing to do is simply get Mario to fix it for you. But when he finds his story is intertwined with other heroes, Mario might not have to do it alone...and maybe even make new friends!"''

'''Bowser''': Yeah…That's still a pretty clever name…beats G.E.B., that's for sure.\\

'''Zelda''': It's our new group! Zelda, Amy, and Peach! I tried P.A.Z. but it didn't catch on…

'''Sonic''': …as long as we '''never''' speak of it again!

-->'''Bobbery''': It's still a rather suspicious building…wouldn't you say, old boy? Do be careful, eh?\\

'''Sonic''': Actually, my middle name is "the"…\\

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "Never…randomize us…''ever''…again!!"

'''Zelda''': OH…a quiz? It's a good test for my wisdom-\\

** "This reminds me of that one show with the animated dog and the old guy! Um…[[WesternAnimation/BluesClues Ace's Traces]]! Yeah! They'd jump into painting after singing some weird song!"

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: When Team Mario meets up with Team Luigi in chapter 64 of ''Paper Mario X 2'', Luigi finishes his {{backstory}} with "…and so we stopped here for a rest after NOT seeing Bowser, Eggman, and Ganondorf randomly head to the east area!"

'''Mario''': …we just might actually be screwed.

* WeddingDay: [[spoiler: Link proposed to Zelda at the end of the second story and was supposed to get married to her during the beginning of the third, but this was ruined when she got married to Ganondorf along with Peach to Bowser and Amy to Sonic [[ButtMonkey (poor hedgehog, he needs a break)]]. However, the wedding went through on the final chapter.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: In the games she's appeared in, Malon, [[EnsembleDarkhorse though popular,]] is little more than an NPC who's only skill she shows off in the fanfic is her singing ability. In this, however, she's proficient with a bow (though she may have borrowed that from [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Romani]]), she can [[MagicMusic bend reality]] by playing music on her flute, and during final battles, she can use Light Arrows. [[TropesAreNotBad Not that any of this is a bad thing.]]

Created by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1690065/Child-at-Heart-Forever Child at Heart Forever]], this is a series of fanfictions based on the PaperMario series...with the twist of being a {{crossover}}.

WordOfGod says that the fanfiction based on VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar is on the back burner for now, due to dismotivation and the fact that she, like most people, thinks Sticker Star is not a good game.

** Bowser has an obsession with the phrase "[[DragonBallZ over 9000]]".

** Occasionally other characters (even the narrator sometimes) will do this as well. Child is pretty much the LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} or Barbra Dunkelman of fanfics.

** In chapter 45 of ''Super'', after Bowser calls Luigi "the guy in green", Luigi asks Bowser if he doesn't even remember his name. This is a reference to ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'', where ''[[WhoIsThisGuyAgain nobody]]'' [[WhoIsThisGuyAgain remembers Luigi's name]].

* PragmaticAdaptation: Given the original games can be dozens of hours long with all the sidequests and item hunting, the vast majority of those were editing out to keep the story a reasonable length.

WordOfGod says there will be a new fanfiction in the series involving VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar, named ''Paper Mario X 4: Sticker Stars''. Just when it will be released is unknown.
