Legends tell of a man, a quiet man, a man who jumps and a man who spins, a man who one day—this day—must rise and save us all. But that man was not available, and so it falls upon this paper plumber to embark upon a journey to the stars to save a princess oft and once more kidnapped. The Mappers embark upon this man’s journey through a twisted land of pun-laden characters and self-aware deconstruction, and arrive finally at the end of their quest with only the corpses of penguins to show for it*. (*No penguins were harmed in the making of this podcast.) As a companion piece to this episode, M produced an zine for Paper Mario, featuring cool and cute paintings and sketches of the characters and the world of this month’s game!
