Paper Bowser World: Operation G.R.O.M. (also known as just Paper Bowser World 2) is a Bowser fangame developed by Toodles Team. It is the sequel to Paper Bowser World.

Paper Bowser World 2 was a major step-up to the prequel, with a new story, improved graphics and many more features.

History

Paper Bowser World: Operation G.R.O.M. was announced on July 13, 2007 with a demo featuring the first world, Green Green Meadows, and was originally going to be shown at the Nintendo Community Fangame Convention. However, when Toodles left, he canned it, and was never heard from for a while, even when Toodles dropped by the site (During Toodles' departure, the game won an award for best story).

But on February 1st, Toodles announced that he has finished the game, surprising everyone.

Story

Bowser realizes Peach is missing

Join Bowser on a crazy adventure spanning over five worlds! The X-Nauts have returned, and under the leadership of their new ruler, Lord W, they have captured Princess Peach! Now it's up to Bowser to rescue her! This exciting Paper Mario inspired platformer features over 20 unique levels and more humor than ever before! -Toodles Team

Gameplay

Paper Bowser World 2 gameplay

The game spans 5 worlds, with over 20 levels, and 4 secret levels.

Unlike the prequel, this time there is no playable Kammy, which disappointed some. Bowser can now ground pound and is essential to progress through the levels. A password system was used so that you can access each world easily.

Many new features that were obviously inspired by Super Paper Mario were in the game; for example, when normal Bowser eats meat, he turns into a mega 8-bit Bowser sprite that can destroy everything, puzzles, a Heart Point system, and a coin system that returns all health back to Bowser when you collect 100 coins. There is also Rancid Meat, that turns Bowser into Mini Bowser.

Trivia

  • G.R.O.M. stands for "Get Revenge On Mario".
  • The finished result was shorter then what Toodles planned.
  • Many of the graphics were reused from Paper Bowser World.
  • Again there is the return of the "Minus World", however it is accessed by a secret password.
  • PBW2 had a beta testing team called Team G.R.O.M. composed of Hatman, Bacteriophage, MegaTailzChao, Mr.mario and Ultramario.
  • The "boxart" looks a bit like the SMB2 boxart, like the first game's "boxart" looked like the SMB boxart.
  • The game won both the 2007 and the 2008 MFGG awards for "Best Story" winning the first time as a demo, and the second time as a completed game.
