Gameplay
The Millennium Door has a unique visual style. The graph consists of a mix of 3D environments and 2D characters that look as if they are made of paper. At a different point in the game, Mario is "cursed" with the ability to allow special movements in the outside world, all of which are based on paper themes. Mario can fold into a boat or paper plane by standing in a special activation panel, and rolling onto a roll of paper or into a thin paper. The game environment also follows this theme; for example, an illusionary object that conceals secret objects or switches can be slammed by a gust of wind due to the quality of paper such as the environment. In certain parts of the game, players control Bowser in some side-scrolling levels based on the original Super Mario Bros. . In addition, players control Peach at X-Naut Fortress while completing most of the game chapters.
The battle at The Millennium Door borrows elements from Super Mario RPG and the original game Paper Mario first. A turn-based system, in which players choose attacks, defenses, or items from the menu, plus by pressing the timed buttons that can result in major attacks or defense bonuses when done correctly. A similar "action action" is also used in all released Mario RPG games. At The Millennium Door, every Mario party member now has their own heart point (HP) and can accept any attack that Mario can accept. When the heart's point of the couple is reduced to 0, the partner becomes inactive for the rest of the battle and the next battle until recovery. If Mario Heart Points is reduced to 0, however, the game ends. Flower Points - required for special movements - are shared among Mario and his party members. Defeating the enemy gives various Star Point numbers to Mario; for every 100 Star Points, Mario can level up. Mario can choose to increase his heart points (HP), interest points (FP), or badge points (BP). The fight took place onstage in front of the audience; if a player performs well in combat, the audience can help Mario by filling the star power, throwing stuff that helps on stage, or inflict damage on the opponent. Instead, audiences can throw items that cause damage to the player or leave if the player performs poorly in battle. For every 10 levels, the stage will grow by fifty spectators for a total of 200 after level 30.
Outside the battle, this game contains some strong role-playing video game traditions. For example, the power of Mario is determined by some statistical fields and status enhancement items that can be used inside and outside of combat. The effects of these objects range from the healing of Mario or his partner to damage the opponent. Mario can also buy badges from non-player characters, find them hidden in the neighborhood, or occasionally get them from defeated enemies. Each badge requires a number of Mario badge points (BP) to be equipped. When completed, these badges can permanently improve certain skills or aspects, or, in some cases, provide new Mario steps, including Power Jump and Quake Hammer. Throughout the game, Mario is permanently assisted by party members. Every member of the party has special skills, some of which are needed to solve the puzzle for progress in the game. More and more party members are gained as players progress through the game.

Character
The Millennium Door contains some characters, mostly unplayable. Advancements in the game sometimes depend on interactions with non-player characters, although they are widely used in a variety of game conquests. Specifically, Goomba Professor Frankly, most knowledgeable about the mystery associated with Rogueport, should be visited whenever Mario picks up the Crystal Star. The game continues the tradition of Paper Mario , where Mario can be accompanied by one assistant character at the specified time. There were seven party members in total: Goombella the Goomba, Koops the Koopa, Madame Flurrie, wind spirit, a Yoshi (named by the player), Vivian the Shadow Siren, Admiral Bobbery the Bob-omb, and Ms. Mowz, which is available as an optional character.
Mario is the main character of The Thousand-Year Door , although the story also revolves between the parts where you play briefly as Princess Peach and Bowser. Most of the stories Peach spent on his interaction with the X-Naut AI TEC computer, who fell in love with Princess Peach despite not fully understanding the concept of love. Princess Peach agrees to teach TEC about love in exchange for the ability to contact Mario via e-mail. The main antagonist of the Mario series, Bowser, tried to collect the Crystal Stars before Mario did instead of directly opposing Mario, though his efforts were largely comedy comedians. Mario Luigi's younger brother is an NPC who tells of his slapstick adventure in Waffle Kingdom, appears in Rogueport with his own party members, many of whom dislike Luigi for various reasons, juxtapose the universal respect Mario has for Mario. Ironically, Luigi finally did his adventure completely printed and published. The books became the best-selling novels that were eventually purchased through the in-game item stores, although the stories told in the novels greatly exaggerated Luigi's heroism, compared to the stories told by disgruntled Luigi's partners or even Luigi himself.
Story
The game opens with an introduction to a seaside town ravaged by natural disasters and consequently sinks to the depths of the earth. A town called Rogueport was later built on this site, with the luck of the lost kingdom that emerged behind a thousand-year-old Reputable Gate, located in the ruins of the old city. Mario became involved when Princess Peach contacted him about the treasure map he bought at Rogueport, but became part of a larger adventure after learning that Peach had been lost. With the help of Goombella and Professor Frankly, Mario knows that the map potentially reveals the location of the legendary Seven Star Crystal, which is required to open the Millennium Door. Assuming that Peach himself is trying to find a Crystal Star, he uses the map in an attempt to find it.
In fact, Peach has been kidnapped by the Secret Society of X-Nauts, a group of Moon occupants headed by Sir Grodus, who is also looking for Crystal Stars. When detained, Peach uses e-mail through the main base computer, TEC, to tell Mario about the search and consequently help him to reach the seven Crystal Stars and find the treasure. However, the "treasure" is actually the Queen of Shadows, the devil responsible for the ancient natural disaster that destroyed the original city 1,000 years ago. The X-Nauts have kept Peach so that his body can be possessed by the Shadow Queen in an attempt to restore his full power. This happens, but the mysterious powers of the Crystal Stars are then used to separate Peach from their owners in a nutshell to give Mario and the power friends needed to fight the Shadow Queen. Mario defeats the Shadow Queen and frees Peach, returning home with him.
