PaperPad
Paper Mario
Score for the original game edition, not the port’s performance.
Paper Mario is a role-playing game for the Nintendo 64 in which Mario sets out to recover the seven Star Spirits and defeat Bowser, blending turn-based combat with light platforming and a distinctive paper-cutout art style. PaperPad is a native iOS/iPadOS app that runs Paper Mario on iPhone and iPad via static recompilation of the N64 game, with Metal rendering, customizable touch controls, and private ROM import.
