These changes are present in all versions of this mod. For ease of reading, I've broken them up into two sections: Basic Fixes and De-Localization.

BASIC FIXES
These are fixes to mistranslations, typos, and other general oversights in the game. These changes include:

The Icicle Pop and Zess Frappe descriptions now show that they heal FP, not HP.

The Paragloomba tattle now says that it's a “stronger version of a Paragoomba,” rather than a Parakoopa.

The Shady Koopa and Shady Paratroopa tattles now correctly reflect their abilities.

The Dark Lakitu and Sky Blue Spiny tattles no longer call the Spiny Eggs "pipes".

Freddy is no longer called "Gloomer" in Goombella's tattle.

Grodus's responses before the final Bowser fight have been swapped - he now responds appropriately to Mario.

The Buzzy species with spikes - called both Spiky Buzzies and Spike Tops in-game - are consistently called "Spike Tops" now. Luigi's Buzzy friend, Torque, is now called a "Wrench Top".

Red Spike Top's Tattle now shows that it has the same stats as a regular Spike Top, and no longer asserts that it's "the sturdiest Buzzy Beetle species".

The Atomic Boo Tattle has been tweaked. The original erroneously claimed that Mario could become confused just by attacking it. In actuality, it's the Atomic Boo's attacks that inflict confusion.

Rawk Hawk's Tattles now display the correct stats.

Goombella no longer remarks that Bob-Ulks are the largest Bob-Ombs, as Bulky Bob-Ombs are slightly bigger.

Pa-Patch's email mentions Flavio pestering him, but Flavio is no longer on the island! The email now specifies that Flavio comes to visit.

Gob the Bob-omb normally speaks in a Russian accent, like the other Fahr Outpost Bob-ombs, but this speech pattern was erroneously missing in his email to Mario. The email has been slightly rewritten to match his normal way of speaking.

Shellshock's dialogue during the ending cutscene has been tweaked - the localizers seemed to have confused him with King K., as he refers to Mario as "G-Man" and "my man" - terms typically used by King K.

One of Jolene's battle instructions (from the second Glitz Pit challenge) has her calling Mario “son” - a term typically used by Grubba. As with Shellshock, it's likely that the localizers got the two mixed up. The dialogue has been edited appropriately.

The Spicy Pasta and Space Food descriptions now mention their extra effects.

The Allergic and Confused status effects now have clearer descriptions.

There are several instances in the original game where the Yoshi kid calls you “Mario”, rather than “Gonzales,” as he does elsewhere. These have been fixed.

The Omelette recipe is called both “Omelette Meal” and “Omelette Plate” at several points throughout the game. As Super Paper Mario only calls it “Omelette Plate”, this is now the only name it goes by.

Several battle items had erroneous descriptions in the original game, which have been rectified. These include:
The POW Block description now states that it attacks all enemies, not just ground-based ones.
The Fire Flower description no longer states that it can burn enemies.
The Thunder Bolt & Rage descriptions no longer state that they can paralyze enemies.
The Shooting Star description no longer states that it can confuse enemies.
The HP Drain description now specifies that it only attacks one foe.
The Ruin Powder description now specifies what the Confusion ailment actually does.
The Courage Shell, Power Punch, and Point Swap descriptions now specify that they work on anyone – the original descriptions suggested they only work on partners.

The Feeling Fine and Feeling Fine P descriptions originally state that they protect against poisoning and dizziness, when in fact, they prevent far more status effects than just that. Their descriptions have been rewritten appropriately.

When re-entering the Glitz Pit later in the game, partners who were not present during Chapter 3 speak as though they'd fought in the Pit before. Their dialogue has been changed to reflect this being their first time there.

The tiny Glitzville model seen from the Cheep Blimp has several textures displaying the town's Japanese name – Oolong Town – and several others showing species that are never seen in the Glitz Pit. These have been corrected.

The posters in the Glitz Pit have been rectified to feature a Red Magikoopa, a Red Chain-Chomp, and basic Bob-Ombs, and, as no blue Magikoopas, regular Chain-Chomps, or Bulky Bob-Ombs are fought in the Glitz Pit.

One of Koopie Koo's lines was mistakenly left out of the original North American release. The line has been restored.

Various grammatical, spelling, and formatting fixes throughout.

DE-LOCALIZATION
These reverse changes made during the localization of the game. These changes include:

The murder scene in Rougeport's back alley has been reinserted.

The Boo clerks' rabbit ears have been reinserted, along with an unused idle animation.

Vivian is trans. Her menu description and tattle reflect this, as well as the dialogue before the first Shadow Siren fight, and when talking to the lonely Goomba in Keelhaul Key.

Hooktail is sickened by frogs, rather than crickets.

Pa-Patch responds to Bobbery "smelling something suspicious" with a fart, rather than suggesting "Flavio's armpit”.

Bonetail is female, like in the JP version.

The Red Bones tattles now hint at it being bloody - both the Japanese and French versions call it a "bloody Koopa skeleton".

Pennington's job description is now "Sanctum priest" rather than "Sanctum Manager".

The threatening letter received on the Excess Express now specifies that there will be an explosion - this not only brings it closer to the Japanese version, but also makes Pennington's suspicions of the Bob-Omb family more sensible.

The Bob-Ombs in the Fahr Outpost cannon have a small exchange regarding personal space and butts.

The final RDM email originally contained a secret section at the bottom if you keep scrolling past the end! This was removed from the English release, but has now been restored.

Koopook's email in the Japanese release referenced the Crystal Palace from Paper Mario 64. This was changed to “Goomstar Temple” in the English version. The reference to the Crystal Palace has been restored.

Pine T. Jr.'s letter makes reference to a "Bubu" character in Toad Town – this is actually intended to be a reference to Li'l Oinks, which are called Bubu-san in Japan. The Li'l Oink reference has been thusly corrected.

In the English release, characters refer to locations called “Mushville” and “Mushroom Town”. These were originally references to Toad Town, from Paper Mario 64. The Toad Town references have been restored.

Likewise, a reference to Koopa Koot in the Schwonk Fortress quiz was originally translated as “Kooskoos.” The Koopa Koot reference has been restored.

Goombella's “Rally Wink” has been changed back to its Japanese name, “Rally Kiss”. Likewise, Flurrie's “Lip Lock” was changed to its Japanese name, “Sexy Kiss”.

TEC's eye has been changed back to its original red color.

All references to “cola”, “cola bartenders”, etc. have been changed back to alcohol.

Chuckola Cola is now Vintage Red. Its sprite has been changed back to its Japanese colors.

The final Super Luigi book has been changed back to its Japanese colors.

The Power Rush and Power Rush P badges now display P instead of D.

The Wrestling Mag item now has an all-new texture, bringing it closer to its Japanese sprite while maintaining the reference to NES Pro Wrestling.
