List of Playable Characters

Mario

Playable Character Description
Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Mario Mario The main playable character of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door who is searching for the Crystal Stars to save Princess Peach from the X-Nauts.

Mario, the protagonist of the game, is also the most versatile playable character, being able to use moves and actions that are exclusive to him, and not the other playable characters.

Alternate Outfits

Some of Mario's badges will let you change his outfit. This only changes Mario's appearance and does not affect his stats in any way.

Alternate outfits are not alternate playable characters. So while these badges will let you dress as Luigi or Wario, you will not be actually playing as Luigi or Wario.

Using both the L and W Emblems will let you use Waluigi's Outfit

Badge Effect Location
L Emblem
BP: 0 		Gives Mario Luigi's outfit. Poshley Sanctum
Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - W Emblem W Emblem
BP: 0 		Gives Mario Wario's outfit. Charlieton

Peach

Playable Character Description
Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Peach Peach The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom who was taken away by the X-Nauts.

You can play as Princess Peach at the end of each chapter in intermission levels. Peach does not engage in battle, but she can stealthily sneak around. This comes as a departure from Mario and the main game's more fast-paced gameplay.

Bowser

Playable Character Description
Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Bowser Bowser Ruler of the Koopas who grew jealous after knowing the X-Nauts kidnapped Peach, and went out to find the princess.

Bowser is also available at the end of each chapter in intermission levels. You can play as Bowser in side-scrolling adventures with an infinite number of lives.

List of All Characters

How to Play as Peach and Bowser

Play as Peach and Bowser in Intermission Levels

Peach and Bowser become playable in between chapters in their intermissions. These short levels simply advance their side of the story.

These levels cannot be replayed, so make them count in your playthrough!
