Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was one of the best games on the GameCube, and it’s getting a remake for the Switch. If you’re looking forward to this new version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, this article details all the pre-order bonuses and different editions available.
All Pre-Order Bonuses and Editions for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
As of this writing, Nintendo hasn’t announced any special editions for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This isn’t uncommon for the company’s games since even a major title like Super Mario Bros. Wonder didn’t get a special edition when it released. Usually, the only Nintendo games that get other editions are tentpole releases like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or Metroid Dread, and even then, that’s no guarantee. Given how this is a remake of a 20-year-old RPG from a relatively niche Mario subseries, don’t hold your breath for one being announced in the coming weeks.
As far as pre-order bonuses go, a few have been announced for North America, though primarily in Canada. If you pre-order the game at GameStop in Canada, you’ll receive a slipcase themed after the GameCube box art for The Thousand-Year Door. It’s unclear if this slipcase will also be offered by American Gamestops, but if you desperately want it, then Canada is the way to go.

There are a few more pre-order bonus opportunities if you live in the UK, though. If you order from GAME, you’ll receive both a paper plane with Mario on it and a metal keychain. If you pre-order the game through ShopTo, then you’ll receive both a paper plane (most likely the same one) and a sticker sheet. It seems pretty likely, given Nintendo’s recent track record regarding pre-order bonuses, that these goodies will make their way to some retailers in the States, so if they do, we will be sure to update this article so you know where you can get your commemorative piece of paper.
And that’s all the pre-order bonuses and editions for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
