===Background=== | |||
The events that caused Port Prisma to be damaged and the [[black paint]]'s creation are explained through the Big Paint Stars' memories told throughout the game, each viewable after rescuing the respective Big Paint Star. One day, a group of Toads were playing with [[paint]] at the [[Prisma Fountain]]. [[Bowser]] observed the Toads playing from the top of a building, and jumped down into the fountain after imagining himself with a rainbow shell. However, while spinning in the Prisma Fountain, Bowser mixed the colors around, creating black paint which possessed him. Shortly after this, a fleet of airships carrying paint buckets arrives to Port Prisma, and a swarm of Slurp Guys deploys from them to drain the town of its colors. They then take the red, blue and yellow paint to the buckets on each airship. The ships with the yellow and blue paint, while the one with red paint stays in the town, presumably being the same airship Mario rides before entering the [[Crimson Tower]]. During this invasion, the [[Toadmaster General]] is taken out of [[Prisma Postal Toad]] and drained of its colors, folded into an envelope, and given to Kamek, to then send it to [[Princess Peach]] to lure her to [[Prism Island]]. Meanwhile, a group of [[Bob-Omb |Bob-ombs]] destroy the bridge in the Yellow District, which stops a yellow Toad from running away as a Slurp Guy drains him. Bowser then throws the six Big Paint Stars away from Port Prisma, as a red Mini Paint Star is shown to fall out of the red Big Paint Star onto the big building near the fountain. | |||

After saving Port Prisma, Mario and Huey set out to find the red Big Paint Star. First, they pass through [[Ruddy Road]] and [[Cherry Lake]], learning the [[Cutout]] ability and collecting 3D real-world objects called Things. They find out that Bowser has stolen the paint from [[the Crimson Tower]], where {{Morton}} is keeping a Big Paint Star captive. To open the gate, they must find the three [[Chosen Toads]]: [[Justice Toad]] at Cherry Lake, [[Surfing Kinopio]] at [[Bloo Bay Beach]], and the [[Mountain Sage]] at [[Daffodil Peak]]. Additionally, Mario learns about the [[Unfurl Block|Unfurl]] ability and assembles the green and purple [[Rescue Squad]]s at [[Indigo Underground]] and Ruddy Road to help him reach more Mini Paint | After saving Port Prisma by finding Huey and painting the colorless spots, Mario and Huey set out to find the red Big Paint Star. First, they pass through [[Ruddy Road]] and re-paint a red [[Mini Paint Star]] to unlock [[Cherry Lake]], learning the [[Cutout]] ability and collecting 3D real-world objects called Things. They find out that Bowser has stolen the paint from [[the Crimson Tower]], where {{Morton}} is keeping a Big Paint Star captive. To open the gate, they must find the three [[Chosen Toads]]: [[Justice Toad]] at Cherry Lake, [[Surfing Kinopio]] at [[Bloo Bay Beach]], and the [[Mountain Sage]] at [[Daffodil Peak]]. Additionally, Mario learns about the [[Unfurl Block|Unfurl]] ability at Daffodil Peak and assembles the green and purple [[Rescue Squad]]s at [[Indigo Underground]] and Ruddy Road to help him reach more a Mini Paint Star and the [[Fire Extinguisher]]. When all the Chosen Toads have been found, Mario defeats {{Morton}} at the Crimson Tower using the Fire Extinguisher, painting in a large gate at [[Sunglow Ridge]]. When they return to Port Prisma, they discover that [[Princess Peach|Peach]] has just been kidnapped by [[Bowser]], and decide that the only way to track them down is by collecting all the [[Big Paint Star]]s and they set off. | ||

*In some sprites, Mario's cap briefly rises, but it doesn't show his hair below, unlike other games in the franchise, including ''[[Super Mario Party]]'''s cover, which shows Mario's hair visible whenever he raises his hat. This was corrected in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', where both Mario and Luigi have sprites that show them without their hats. | |||
