Release Notes[]
Super Paper Mario 2: Dimentio's Revenge was released on the Nintendo Switch on May 9th, 2017. Super Paper Mario 2 celebrates the 10-year anniversary since the original Super Paper Mario by releasing a sequel to continue the legacy.
Synopsis[]
After five years of peace from Dimentio and the evil Count Bleck, Mario and the gang find themselves once again in a jeopardy resulting in the fate of their entire lives. They must once again team up with Merlon, Count Bleck, and Bowser to fight an evil being more powerful than anything they've ever seen.
Gameplay[]
At the beginning of the game, the player controls Mario directly, and then later obtains Princess Peach, Luigi, Bowser, Bowser Jr, and Count Bleck as playable party members. The player controls the characters by using the left stick to move and A to jump. Double tapping A with Princess Peach will activate her parcel and will allow Luigi to perform a higher jump. Pressing B will activate your pixl's ability. The X button opens up the Inventory in this game you can carry up to 99 of each item. Y activates the menu, allowing you to switch party members, switch your pixl and you can also access the world map, key items, you can go through the chapters, the battle cards (see the battle card section) and your characters' information. Pressing the R button will activate 3D and the L button will allow you to use the hammer with Mario and Luigi, Bowser to breath fire, Count Bleck to Shoot Dark Lasers, Princess Peach to Heal you by 5 hp (but this must be recharged) and Bowser JR to fly around in his Clown Car. Mario and his party must use these new abilities, such as turning sideways to slip through cracks, hammering down large blocks, or planting bombs to defeat foes, to advance. The current Pixl can be switched out, but you cannot swap out Brainy except for one time in Chapter 7 in the battle against Shadow Peach And Dark Prognosticus. This Pixl enables turn-based battle, and two people out at once, but this Pixl disappears after the battle. Super Paper Mario, like other Paper Mario games, borrows both RPG and platforming elements in its gameplay, with a noted shift towards platforming in this installment. In this game, you get to switch from 2-D to 3-D whenever needed to solve problems on how to get past that particular part of the level. The main hub, Toad Town provides locations for Mario and his party to talk to residents, shop, and rest, as well as to open doorways to other worlds. Unlike previous Paper Mario games, there is no turn-based fighting but jumping on an enemy starts a battle like in other games but they're still non-turned based. Instead, the player faces foes directly on the screen as in a usual Mario platforming game, and through experience gains and special items, the amount of damage dealt per hit can be increased. The player also must watch the party's health taken as damage from foes, though this can be restored with special health items. The traditional scoring system used in most platforming games doubles as an experience point system. After jumping on an enemy, the player can shake the controller for extra points. The player can also collect extra exp points for your attack and defense pixls by using that pixl in battle 10 times. Battle cards also return with a new function, allowing you to deal more damage if you have that enemies card, but you could have an extremely rare chance of getting 10,000 experience points from killing that enemy if you possess 100 or more of their cards. They can be found, and you can buy them in each chapters towns and can be bought in the Card Shop in Toad Town. You can only find duplicates and you can't buy them. Unlike the first Super Paper Mario, every time you level up 15 points get added to each stat and you can add an extra 15 points to any level. The stats don't do much until Chapter 6 and beyond. Entering 3d in this game doesn't look like it did before, instead, it looks like the over worlds in Paper Mario 64, TTYD, Sticker Star, and Color Splash. You can be in 3D for a minute before you take 5 damage and have the meter reset. You can only enter 3d using Mario.

Mario and Luigi are visiting Peach when Dimentio Castle falls right next to Peach's Castle in a giant pile of rubble. Peach screams because the rubble pile destroyed the wall. In the sky, the paper crew fly down, and Bowser is flailing his arms like an idiot. The entire time "The Ultimate Show" is playing, just like it did during the final battle. It ends with real life Bowser and his army flying in airships with the 3D Bowser yelling "Look's like you returned old flappy arms!" The to be continued screen plays, and "The Ultimate Show" plays throughout the end credits.

Leveling Up[]
In Super Paper Mario 2: Dimentio's Revenge, the leveling system is similar to the Mario and Luigi games where after you get a certain amount of experience points you level up and each skill gets increased by a certain number.
