We review this nice Nintendo saga, which turns its characters into simple sheets of paper.

Since Paper Mario was born 20 years ago on Nintendo 64, establishing itself as the unofficial (and arguably unwanted) heir to Super Mario RPG, the saga has undergone different transformations, although always under the long shadow of The Thousand Year Door, the extraordinary installment in Gamecube that many consider the brightest moment of the saga on several levels.

With the appearance of The Origami King, which was extremely satisfying, we took advantage of the fact that Azucena reviews the entire saga from its origins, commenting on the highest and lowest points of a series that already occupies a place of honor in the pantheon from Nintendo.
