The better you do, the more the crowd will cheer you on!
- A paper world full of surprises To find the Crystal Stars, you’ll have to venture beyond the walls of Rogueport and see the world! When it comes to getting around and exploring, Mario’s Paper Abilities can help! Try turning into a paper plane to fly over gaps or becoming paper-thin to squeeze through tight spaces. There are even more abilities to find too!
