After releasing Paper Mario World, Superadammario decided it was time to move on to a sequel, called Paper Mario World 2. This game featured a new character line-up, including Mario, Link, Sonic, Kirby, and others(as well as Yoshi, who would help during training). The game was started, and got to a point where a demo was given to Yoshiman, which had about 5 levels. Unfortunately, the days went on, and Superadammario slowly faded away from the fangame community and ultimately discontinued production on Paper Mario World 2.

There were only a few that knew about it's sequel, and it never reached beyond that, once Superadammario left MFGG. Later on, much later on, near the end of 2005, Yoshiman found Superadammario on MSN, and began communicating, and received his permission to post the demo of the sequel.

After doing so, people fond of the original wanted to re-create a Paper Mario World 2. There were various attempts at doing so, but due to low hype, was canned there-after. A noteable remake of the sequel was started conceptually by a joint cooperation between Superadammario and Kaepora, whom both who discussed their ideas on MSN. They both soon decided, due to vocal criticsm of the idea, that a sequel is not the best of ideas, and that a spinoff was a better way to go. Due to lack of interest on Kaepora's part, the project was cancelled.


On June 24th of 2007, Yoshiman posted a topic in the fan-games discussion forum. This topic featured a trailer of the official sequel to Paper Mario World, called Super Paper Mario World. Unlike the official and alternate sequel, this fan-game has many vast improvements, yet kept the same charm that was present in all three games.

Unofficial Sequel

Eventually, a completed fangame known as "Paper Mario World 2" was made by GeneralGuy, which now resides on the main site. However, it should be noted that this game is not considered a true sequel to Paper Mario World, due to the fact that it bears absolutely nothing in common with Paper Mario World by Superadammario, aside from the game's title.

The Story

After Mario defeated the Shadow Queen, Grodus lost control of the X-Nauts. They left for GlitzVille, while he remained at the moon base. Tubba Blubba's heart(from paper mario) had recovered at that particular time and went to discuss Grubba's plan about becoming unbeatable. When he finally got to the town, Grubba had disappeared. With anger, he took regained control of the X-Nauts to continue the dark plot. First, he took over the Mushroom Kingdom and then kidnapped Princess Peach. You set out to find her with Luigi and Koopa explorer.

Gameplay

There are nine total levels(with three bosses) in the game. Due the setup of the majority of these levels, you can easily die. The engine was completely custom. However, it used the basic platform movement and lacked originality. You are forced to attack with a hammer, in order to defeat the various enemies&bosses found in the game. If you jump onto an enemy, boss(whether it has spikes or not), the game automatically restarts. This aspect of the game is very similar to that of Super Mario Pandemonium. The only area of this game that is creative and unique are the boss battles themselves, which use the hammer.
