Mind-Altering Substance
I just realized that from Mario's perspective, everyone is using Parrot Exposition. Would that be an actual trope, or just a bit of Fridge Brilliance?

I would file that as an In-Universe example.

Think we should split this page into VideoGame.Paper Mario and Franchise.Paper Mario?

Possibly, but we spent some work on it when we split the pages up and moved a bunch of game-specific tropes around, it'd be kind of redundant if we went back and made a general Franchise page after that.
I agree with the rename, if only because hardly anyone actually refers to the first game as "Paper Mario 64". Its not even as widespread as Donkey Kong 94.
Modified Ura-nage, Torture Rack
The article needs to be rewritten to be specifically about the first game. I'm working on moving some of the tropes, but I don't feel up to tackling the body...

It seems we're taking this on one step at a time. But it has been my concern for a while that there was no page dedicated solely to the first game, so I'm glad it's getting fixed anyway.
Okay, I've finished with the trope list. We still need to rewrite the introduction and find an appropriate page image, though.

Would anyone like to help out in dividing the page up? Thousand Year Door is more or less done, but are we keeping this page as the series page or devoting it to the first one? Also there's apparently a redirect in place for Super Paper Mario, and I don't know how to edit those back into something usable.

I dunno about most of that, but I'm working on taking Super Paper Mario out.
EDIT: Done. New page is here.

I've never heard about the Villain Team-Up mechanic mentioned on Paper Mario 3DS' page before. Is there any validity in this or is it just speculation based on the Chain Chomp partner?

Was there really a reason to move the picture over there?

No. It's just that a good chunk of the pictures on this wiki are left justified (which is strange since wikis are usually right justified).
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!
I'm not sure what to change the page image to, but considering the current one is fan art for the Thousand Year Door (which now has its own page) it would probably be more appropriate to have art for the first game.
Should we make seperate sections for each Paper Mario game?

Yeah I think so. These are pretty trope heavy games that have a lot of story to them. If the Mario And Luigi games have separate pages, then so should these.
Okay, there's now a blank page for Thousand Year Door over here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitlet2lo201q
. . . I'd work on it now but I REALLY need to go to bed.
Scratch that, now there's a good start . . . go ahead and add more, I need sleep.
You may want to link to it in the main page.
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!
I've been putting links to it all over the place, but I'm pretty sure I've probably missed a few places it should go. The first mention of Thousand Year Door on the main page is a link to it now, though.
