The first game in the Paper Mario franchise. Bowser stole the Star Rod to finally take over the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario treks all over the kingdom to free the Star Sprites to gain their powers. Mario finds allies to help him along the way.

A mod that makes Toadette the main character instead of Mario!

Features:

-All of Mario's sprites replaced with Toadette's, including the ending parade ones and the retro sprites.
-UI Icons and textures that reference Mario changed to reflect Toadette, including stuff like badges or the BP icon.
-Title screen and partner images (those one are the same but with Mario removed).
-Text changes, both dialogue and menu text. Characters will acknowledge you as Toadette and will use the correct pronouns. Certain dialogues were added or changed to make some things make more sense, like an explanation as to why letters arrive in Mario's house even though you are Toadette, among other things. A few characters talk about Mario and his whereabouts, so it's not like he just doesn't exist.
-A small Mario cameo at some point in the game.
-The Pause Menu Fix Global Patch by Quackles, to prevent problems in certain emulators in some PCs.

Known Issues:

-Toadette's sprites break a bit when going through a pipe or sleeping at a Toad house. This is due to her sprites having a larger width than Mario's. Not much that can be done about it sadly, it's not too distracting though.

Credits:

-Ultimate Star Mario, who made the original Paper Toadette sprites that were used as a base and expanded upon.
-Rain (@rainchus) from the Star Haven Discord, who made Global Patches to edit Mario's name in the stat screen and to replace the BP Icon when you level up. Also shoutouts to Wrymouth for answering a few questions about this too.
-Quackles, who made the Pause Menu Fix Global Patch that's included in the mod.
-superralph7599, who provided feedback and inspiration.
