This game is a mix between Paper Mario and other traditional platformers. The player moves around in the same way he does in the original Paper Mario, while fighting enemies in a platformer-like style.

There is a point-based rank system in the game. Each time you defeat an enemy, you earn points. Every time you earn a certain number of points, you level up and earn more health. This gives you a reason to want to stop each and every goomba!
