Paper Mario, known in Japanese as Mario Story (マリオストーリー, Mario Sutōrī) and originally known as Super Mario RPG 2, is a role-playing video game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 game console. It was first released in Japan on August 11, 2000, in North America on February 5, 2001, and in Europe and Australia on October 5, 2001. Paper Mario was re-released for Nintendo's Wii Virtual Console in July 2007 as well as Wii U Virtual Console in 2015.
Paper Mario is set in the Mushroom Kingdom as the protagonist Mario tries to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser, who has imprisoned the seven "Star Spirits", lifted her castle into the sky and has successfully defeated his foe after stealing the Star Rod from Star Haven and making himself invulnerable to any attacks. To save Mushroom Kingdom, rescue Peach, get the castle back, and defeat Bowser, Mario must locate the Star Spirits, who can negate the effects of the stolen Star Rod, by defeating Bowser's minions guarding the star spirits. The player controls Mario and a number of partners to solve puzzles in the game's overworld and defeat enemies in a turn-based battle system. The battles are unique in that the player can influence the effectiveness of attacks by performing required controller inputs known as "action commands".
Now I can't spend a minute
Now I can't steal the time
I've lost all my friends like money
I've lost all my men to the sky
Can't keep your loving from my mind
It's worth more than gold, crystals and pride
Ready to shake these stars from me
But I can't withdraw your heart from mine
No, I can't withdraw your heart from mine
No, I can't withdraw your heart from mine
I never knew what your love could do
I blew it all away
Thought I could satisfy the yearning of my
Heart shaped hole on hold for you
Never learned to hold on
I hold too tight and have to let go
But there's no love, no love,
There's nothing to take your place
Now I can't spend a minute
Now I can't steal the time
I've lost all my friends like money
I've lost all my men to the sky
I can't keep your loving from my mind
It's worth more than gold, crystals and pride
Ready to shake these stars from me
Oh, I can't withdraw your heart from mine
You're the one thing that sticks right onto my side
No, I can't withdraw your heart from mine
How'd I get so stuck, so stuck to your side?
No I can't withdraw your heart from mine
You're the one thing that sticks, right into my side
