How it feels

Gloriously nonsensical Paper Mario retelling where Google Translate mangles every line into surreal comedy gold.

About

Book of Mario is a text-hack of the Paper Mario (Nintendo 64) created by Fatguy703 and his fans. The text within the game is produced by oscillating translations several times (with Google Translate) to change the dialogue, creating a very different plot from the original game. The game also has a new badge added, which was only obtained via hacking.
