Models and Metaphors - Idea Research

Paper Mario -


For research, I have been looking at 2D based games

In 2001, Intelligent Systems released Paper Mario into Europe onto the Nintendo 64. Paper Mario was a unique concept based on the role playing game genre, whilst still holding elements from the Mario series.

The basis of Paper Mario is that Bowser has stolen the Star Rod from Star Haven. It's upto the plumber to retrieve all of the the Star Spirits and defeat the evil Koopa King, bringing peace back to Star Haven.

I have chosen to use this game as research for my project because I really like the games concept. Paper Marios characters throughout the game are two dimensional, however the rest of the world is three dimensional, shown in the image below...


My Models and Metaphors idea which is based around the same concept in which Intelligent Systems used for Paper Mario is slightly different to what you can see throughout this post. I'm still trying to gather research for this idea, and at the moment I'm trying to keep it as a thought and not reveal too much.
