GDC 2007: Super Paper Mario story and controls interview

Straight from a Game Trailer TV interview with Nintendo Localization Writer Erik Peterson at the 2007 GDC, you can get a whole lot of other info on Super Paper Mario, including how the game is played with a Wiimote and a little sneak peek at the game’s story. The U.S. version was lovingly transformed by an army of translators to bring out the original story and humor that we know the Mario games are notorious for.

In addition to being able to play Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Bowser in the 50-hour game, each character will be accompanied with Tippy, which is that “digital butterfly” you’ve seen on the gameplay vids before. While each character also sports their own skills, you’ll be able to select which ones you’d like to play immediately in-game, as long as they’ve joined Mario on his quest to stop a crazy Count from wrecking the Mario worlds.
