In the Reception section, the article states that there is no Dash button. A dashing feature actually can be unlocked, by completing the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials and receiving a Pixl named Dashell. (Note: This Pixl is optional and not necessary for any part of the game.) Dashell, when used, enables Mario to run at about twice his normal speed.

Since there was already a list of characters in SPM, I commented out the large block of character details as this is unnecessarily duplicating information. I think some of those details can be worked into the List page which is why I didn't just delete the text. -- Masem 20:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Frequent criticisms include [...] the very large amount of dialogue between characters, especially compared to any other platforming game.
It's an RPG, what would you expect... 194.120.158.162 23:10, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was also criticized for its lengthy dialogues, and it was an RPG. The dialogues went on for perhaps the same amount of time that SPM's did. So lengthy cut-scenes that cannot be skipped are criticized in general. -- ThomasO1989 ( talk) 03:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Just so eveybody knows, I put a link to http://faqs.ign.com/articles/784/784008p1.html, A webpage that tells you what you need to do when you really need to get to the next level of Super Paper Mario.

Why was the whole Super Paper Mario characters article deleted? Both the PM: Thousand Year Door and Super Paper Mario character pages were scrapped, but what for? That was a lot of useful information? Unknown Dragon 02:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
So why WAS the character pages deleted? 75.185.101.79 14:10, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
It looks as though ALL the Paper Mario character sections have been deleted...What's going on here? There's no reason for that. MsDevin92 19:54, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Can we redirect " Count Bleck" and " Super Paper Mario characters" to " List of Paper Mario series characters"? 75.185.101.79 02:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be some kind of spoiler warning? zanzer7 11:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
I added the other way of getting round the glitch - it does work, as that is how I got round it.-- 03crichardson 16:43, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I object to the glitch section being removed. It is a major fault with a large quantity (if not all) PAL disks. It is not a trivial "he can walk on air for a little while" glitch, it freezes the whole wii - only fixed by pulling the power out. For any PAL players this is a serious issue. -- 03crichardson 17:46, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
I also object to the glitch section being removed. If it's serious enough for NOE to put out a replacement disk, then it's serious enough to be mentioned in a wiki article about the game. Dunnymeister 08:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Okay, the only sources I have are from forums, and could have been written by any one of us. Although, I was playing the game, it froze for ME, and I got around it. Hows that for proof? If this sint useful information, then what is? -- 03crichardson 17:33, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

As a PAL gamer who uses wikipedia for info I strongly support this being here. In fact, I only learned about the glitch because I read about it here (however it was unfortunately too late as I had returned the game first). - 161.73.45.173 ( talk) 01:49, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

{{spoiler}}
I think something about Dimentio should be added to the Plot section, and maybe also something about Blumiere and Timpani as well, if someone could do that. Because the game's not quite like some of the other Mario games, and has what appears to be the main antagonist to actually be the good guy in the end...or something like that.

While digging through the online print archive, I located the following print reviews for this game:
Hope these are helpful. JimmyBlackwing ( talk) 04:16, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
I think it should be mentioned that this game has been discontinued by Nintendo. 71.218.190.224 ( talk) 05:15, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
It's been a long time since I played the game, but I don't remember ever seeing anything about a forced marriage, as it says in the beginning of the Plot section, much less it being the cause of the void. I think we should confirm whether that's actually true, since it kind of sounds like a troll to me. I may be extremely wrong, however, and be embarrassed after making this statement, but I think we should verify it. Philmonte101 😊😄😞 ( talk) 22:21, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

@ Le Panini and Smuckola: To find a citation for the Nintendo Power awards and nominations, I contacted a Wikipedian who owns the relevant issues. The next time you need something from a magazine, search for it in the Reference library. This library has a subpage for Nintendo Power. Unfortunately, the two people who own the relevant issues are no longer very active on Wikipedia. — Dexxor ( talk) 14:05, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello! Ballou123 made an edit to this article (which I reverted seeing their edit in absolute good faith mainly because I wanted to discuss it with them a little) change most (if not every) instance of "universe" to "multi-verse" because "the game is literally about travelling between universes and dimensions and saving them from destruction espacially [ sic] when merlon in the beginning of the game said the void will destroy all dimensions, all worlds and all existence, the contextual defintion of universe means multiverse but there are people who aren't aware of that so the word multiverse is more fitting to avoid misleading people and so they don't think it's just a singular universe" (taken from their edit summary). Wikitionary's definition of universe (that best fits how it is used in the article) is "an imaginary collection of worlds" and (for reference) the definition of dimension "a universe or plane of existence". So since the game uses (from what I understand I haven't played the game myself) dimension (and possibly universe), I'm here to ask if referring to them with the word "universe" or "multi-verse" would be better. ― Blaze Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 21:57, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
@Thomas01989 first, there are a few instances of authors not using the word "multiverse" because it's a useless word (such as Star vs the forces of evil and digimon). Universe by definition already means "everything", so having a different word for that same thing isn't a necessity. Even calling something a "Smaller Something" sometimes is more about how to place it in the larger cosmology rather than saying it's small Also don't use the term world from other games, because it varies from game to game, in galaxy world refers to a galaxies cluster You do realize that world 4 which is stated to he another dimension is also called universe in Japanese? And mario's home dimension is also called world and universe, let's bring up more Dreams in Mario become reality do you know what they call him in Mario party 5 and dream team? Universes and dimensions Also did you ignore that fiction treat dimension as a universe? We must judge the information not by words but by context, there are many words that their meaning change by context, Every context needs to be Analyzed on is own and be used to understand what is the meaning behind the work If the usage of universe is more in line what people think a multiverse is, that is exactly what it's because again the usage and context matters more than a "word" Ballou123 ( talk) 06:45, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
