Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Receives Brief, Hijinks-Filled Trailer

Two never-before-seen scenes are featured, showcasing the indomitable Lord Crump of the X-Nauts and Goombella's oblivious professor.

A brief new trailer for Nintendo’s upcoming Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is available on Twitter, courtesy of Nintendo of America. While it features some familiar scenes from the announcement trailer, two new additions highlight the RPG’s signature humor. Check them out below.

The first is a scene with the X-Nauts, with their second-in-command, Lord Crump, instructing the group to mob Mario and Goombella. The second sees the latter speaking to Goombella’s professor, who is unaware of Mario’s superstar status (to the latter’s embarrassment). These are only a handful of memorable moments on the long journey to rescue Princess Peach and unravel the secret of the Thousand-Year Door.

As a remake of the 2004 GameCube classic, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door launches on May 23rd for Nintendo Switch and has file size of 5.1 GB per the eShop. Check out the remade intro here, which features gorgeous new visuals and animations to bring the backstory to life.
