Paper Bowser World: Operation G.R.O.M.
preview
By: toodles_team
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 to her! This exciting Paper Mario inspired platformer features over 20 unique levels and more humor than ever before!

Surprised to see it finished? Well, I really didn't want to see all that work I had done go to waste, especially since I had quite a lot more done than what was shown in the first demo, so I spent about two months and finished it up! Enjoy!

(NOTE: You'll need to have the font "Hey Gorgeous" installed on your computer for the in-game text to display right. If you don't have this font already, it's included in the zip.)
Completion: Full Game Genre: Platform
Franchise: Mario

Update History
02/08/08  I re-did the way Bowser gets hurt so he no longer bounces around. ;)
01/29/08  The old version was (I'm not kidding!) missing levels. Anyway, it's updated with everything in place.

Author Summary Score
steffire The numbers don't add up because this game deserves a higher score for it's adorable comedy which really should be a category of it's own to rate games of this kind. 8 / 10
onpon4 This game is a massive improvement over Paper Bowser World, but it's still just "OK". Worth checking out, but not particularly amazing. 6 / 10
Joey Apples As a game on its own, Paper Bowser World: Operation G.R.O.M. delivers fun platforming mechanics and a sensationally funny script. Unfortunately, there's really no avoiding comparisons to the first game, and in that area, this sequel comes off as a tiny bit of a letdown. 8 / 10
YoungLink (This review is spoiler-free to my knowledge)
Good game if you are seeking humour. I suggest anyone not looking for pure games, can read English and can generally run Windows executable try it!
10 / 10
Dim_Yimma_H The angry humor is funny and uses a mild language, so it's easy to like. The game play is straight-forward with an easy control that has one drawback, the slow running. Make sure to enjoy the water world, because it has one of the best swimming controls I've seen in a Mario game. 6 / 10
Alba Garcia Clerigues This game is a continuation of Paper Bowser World, it has got more action and it is funnier than its previous game. 8 / 10
ShadowLuigi64 Oh! I remembered now! I was gonna tell you the password for world 5 but I changed my mind. Too bad. Oh well. Toodles Team has made another Masterpiece that will keep you on the computer for... hmm... about 3 hours for the game. Replay will keep you on for... 2 months. Good luck getting off this game. Now for my signature speech for good games, Click the Download/View button. What are you waiting for? 10 / 10
Lockout YAAY PBW 2! :D 10 / 10
Mylverous A sequel to a classic, but does not feel the same. 7 / 10
Giga Gamer Although the first time through is absolutely stunning, you probably won't play this again. Still, it's a great thing to try once. Final score is a... 7 / 10
Papero A great re-creation of the PM2 Bowser Levels. Play it, please. 9 / 10
Hatman You'd be doing yourself a huge favor if you played through this at least once! 8 / 10
mamaluigi Paper Bowser : Operation G.R.O.M is better than the original, but still has the flaws. 7 / 10
Zero Kirby It's good! Wait... we're checking the instant replay... ooooh! That's gonna set them back pretty bad, Tim. 6 / 10
Carl Definitely a game worth playing. Stepping outside the fangame box to produce a Bowser themed game is worth a download in itself. Other than that, the gameplay fun and easy to get the hang of. 9 / 10
Hyper Kirby Fan A mediocre sequel to a great fangame. 5 / 10
Pucifur G.R.O.M. will charm you with its beauty and then give you an ice bath. Fun may turn into frustration as the gameplay becomes tiresome and the graphics get progressivly lazier. Play PBW once through and try to enjoy it for all it's worth. 7 / 10
Nad This is a masterpiece of MFGG. So play it, and enjoy it, for you're never gonna find something quite like this at MFGG. Or anywhere, for that matter. 9 / 10
Average Score 7.8 / 10

In the first paper bowser game the minus world was reached by beating the game without dying more than ten times, so this time it may be something similar. Also, it's dumb that they call it the minus world when the real minus world from Super Mario Bros. 1 was not a bonus world but an endless glitched water level.

The minus world is accessed in a completley different way, and I just called it that as a fun reference since that glitch is so famous. There was a joke about that in the first game, and I just kept the name for this one.

That would have been...odd. I wanted to have Mips show up again, but I never was able to come up with a good place to put him (her?) beyond World 1. Also I actually did consider several different characters for Lord W, I like what I settled on.

Sorry. That last boss is too hrd for me.

I consider a game bad if I can't beat it.

But besides that, it's a great game! I give it a 0 that I can't best it but a 10 of everything else!

Just because you can't beat it you give it a 0?
You are a sore loser
And on a side note:
OMG IT IS BACK!!!!!!!
Im can't wait to d/l it ;)

Wow the picture is there! But you're not allowed to select and use the 0/10 rating anyway, so despite this easter egg within the site I'm still basically right.

WTH? thats totally stupid. you consider a game bad if you can't beat it? i can't beat smb2, and i consider it great :) you should consider it that if the gameplay is suxy, if the controls sux, if everything in the game sux. that, my friend, would make you give it a 0/0. oh wayt, your not my friend. BTW, WHAT KIND OF CHEESY XCUSE IS THAT???!?!?!?!?!?!?!?1?1one

Oh another thing that really got on my nerves during this game. THERE WERE NO CHECK POINTS!!!!!!!! On one level I was right at the end and a freakin Cheep-Cheep jumped out of the water and killed me!! And I had to start allllllll the way over again to the beggining of the level. And one more thing, on the level before the last boss. The part with all the X-Nauts and the latters a little to difficult, very frustrating. Well those were just Two things that could use some impproving.

Well, first off, Neither of the Cheep-Cheep-jumping-out-of-the-water levels are very long, so I wouldn't put check points in them regardless. (The one in World 3 is really short.) Also, the part with the X-Nauts was designed to be a little frustrating. It is the end of the game after all. The X-Nauts come at the exact same rate, so just get into a rhythm with the Space Bar and it's not really that hard. By the way, has anyone figured out what that part of that level is a reference to, yet? I'm surprised no one has pointed it out...

absolutely wrong!!! I won't tell you the name, but I will tell you:

-he was introduced in the original Paper Mario for the N64
-he was fought multiple times throughout said paper mario game
-he was not affiliated with the main villain in any way
-he was not in any game since aside from a cameo in a picture in TTYD.

Gee, cause that's not obvious at all. ;)
Of course, it's already been flat out spoiled twice already on here. :(

Just so everyone knows, I've submitted a new version that changes the way Bowser gets hurt. He just flies up a bit and you become invincible for a couple seconds after you resume playing. (If you've played Super Paper Mario, it works a lot like that.) I hope you all like it better.

Of course, you don't have to beat it one sitting like the first one, so if you get a little bored, just stop for a while.
