Yes all VC games should have the instructions downloaded with them. Start the VC game. Then hit the Home button. Then hit Operations Guide. There should be a menu with everything about the game, including controls. About Paper Mario...I played Super Paper Mario for Wii and didn't care for it. I love Mario RPG. But I never played this one or the one for Gamecube. Is it worth the download? How much like Mario RPG is it?
