The Dark Prognosticus
The Dark Prognosticus is the lost book of prophecies that foretells the end of all
worlds and grants immense power to whoever holds it. Although the book appears
to portend a bleak and unpleasant future,it has many devotees.
count Bleck
while his motives are a mystery, Count Bleck appears to have the power to snuff out
all known worlds and leave barren wastelands in his wake. On the other hand,he's a
surprisingly forgiving and upbeat overlord-and a pretty snappy dresser, to boot.
Bleck's Bootlickers
Count Bleck has rounded up a team of diverse and colorful minions to do his dirty
work. You'll have to fight most of them at least once, so it pays to familiarize yourself
with their methods.

The Light Prognosticus
To counteract the evil prophecy of the Dark Prognosticus,some forward-thinking indi

any bells?
Mario
Yes,that's right-Mario is the hero. The game is called Super Paper Mario,so that
shouldn't come as a shock. Once again, the fate of the known universe rests on the
rounded shoulders of a mute plumber.

The odds may be against one small man defeating the insidious gears of prophecy, but
