How Long to Beat Paper Mario TTYD

It takes about 25-30 hours to beat Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (TTYD) on the first try. However, it can take longer if all elements are taken into account. Read on to know how long it takes to beat the game, and how many chapters the game has.

How Long to Beat the Game

Takes About 25-30 Hours

It takes about 25-30 hours for a casual player to beat Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, starting from the game's prologue to the final chapter.

This is an estimation of a playthrough that has continuous story progression without going out of the way or backtracking to collect hidden Star Pieces and Shine Sprites.

Takes About 40-50 Hours for Completionists

Since the game has elements like clearing the Pit of 100 Trials, reaching level 99, battling secret bosses, and completing requests from the Trouble Center, it might take players 10 to 20 more hours to reach 100% completion of the game.

In particular, it will take players a considerable amount of time to make Mario reach level 99, which is the maximum level in the game.

How Many Chapters are in the Game?

8 Chapters Plus 1 Dungeon

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (TTYD) consists of 8 chapters in total, which takes about 3 to 4 hours to clear each chapter.

However, it also contains the Pit of 100 Trials where Mario has to clear 100 floors.
