Paper Bowser World is a Mario fangame created by Toodles Team (known for his custom Paper Mario 2 sprites). The game itself is also a custom work based from Paper Mario 2; in fact, it is a direct parody of the Bowser platforming stages from Paper Mario 2. The game itself spans sixteen levels and four additional secret levels, on two game modes (Bowser and Kammy), leaving a total of forty levels in all.
Plot
Kammy Koopa has discovered that Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach are going on a two week vacation. Upon reporting this news to Bowser, he immediately sets out to find her, outraged at the thought of going two whole weeks without being able to kidnap her. Meanwhile, Kammy goes for a relaxing box. While she is walking, she discovers a mysterious black box. A voice from inside the box promises to do something very cool for her is she lets him out…
== Gameplay == 
The gameplay depends drastically on which mode is chosen; for example, "Bowser" mode is especially easy. The idea was to create a comical parody of the original Super Mario Bros. Also, the PM2 segments that inspired Paper Bowser World were incredibly easy; so easy, in fact, that Toodles Team made the following changes:
- Bowser is not quite as powerful as the official game
- Bowser is unable to perform a ground-pound attack
- Many more levels
However, Bowser mode remains easier (except in some castle levels), and more humorous. "Kammy" mode is more in tune with Mario gameplay, as she is much smaller, and has less destructive potential in her magic attack than Bowser does in his fire breath. Ergo, all of Kammy's levels have been slightly edited for her gameplay by removing bricks, changing trap locations, etc.
Controls
The controls are as follows:
- Left arrow: Move character left.
- Right arrow: Move character right.
- Up arrow: Make character jump.
- Space: Use special attack (Bowser breathes fire, Kammy shoots a spell).
- Enter: Pause the game, make selections, and progress dialogue.
- Esc: Return to the title screen, and exit the game.
