Paper Mario Thousand Year Door cartridge issue

[SuperGamer64]

Hello, I recently picked up Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door from my library and when I popped the cartridge in it showed up as TOTK. The cartridge says paper Mario but in the switch is shows TOTK. Can anyone explain? Is this a common issue? Is this super rare and valuable?

Reinsert it and see if it is the correct game.

I've never heard of this before but this may be some rare factory defect.

I’ve done that many times. Still shows up as TOTK.

Someone popped out Paper Mario and put in the TOTK cartridge. Thats what I think.

(Or shifted the stickers)

Sound like maybe sticker replacement if the cart show totk.

On the backside of the cartridge. Can you take a photo of it?

Well, the stamp code for TOTK should be AXN7A09A000. If that is on the back, then there is a good chance someone has changed the stickers.

Can you write down the AEA number or whatever it is?

Yep that’s the code

That's unfortunate.

 

[linuxares]

My guess sticker was swapped, but I don't know why people would swap totk for paper mario.

A9QDA - is the title for Paper Mario

https://catalog.fargolibrary.org/cg...number=387344&query_desc=kw,wrdl: paper mario - surprisingly good page to find the title numbers

@SuperGamer64 I would report it to the library so you don't get in trouble.
