Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Site Positioning

The Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door site is part of the 500-site expansion plan. It starts by covering four search-heavy needs: chapter route, character growth, dungeon routes, true ending.

This site begins as a stable index. Future work should split it into specific quests, gear pages, map routes, system explainers, update notes, and video-led guides as demand appears.
