Paper Mario Series

[Iris Mist]

Decided to go out and trade some games to get Paper Mario today. I've been playing around with it a bit, and I must admit it's already becoming addicting. I definitely enjoy the fact that it doesn't feel like a remake of a previous game. I'm not very far in the game, and a little bit confused as to how to proceed, but that adds to the fun of it all.

And after 7 days, 21:24 hours of gameplay, I finally beat the game.

Quite a satisfying final boss, I have to say.

Anyone know what I'm supposed to do in the second lava level? I have no clue what to do with the second Chomp.

Simple. Wouldn't it be easier if it was sleeping? Maybe you can do something about it...

Use any sleeping hammer in battle against it, then run away. Work it out from there.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but there are definitely a few parts in this game I found to be awesome:
The second boss. His weakness went so well with the arena you fight him in. Oh, and the music is cool.
The third boss has awesome music.
The Snifit or Whiffit part made me laugh
The fourth boss was really creative in my opinion.

And of course, I figure it out just as I posted the message -_-

I went and downloaded the Gooper Blooper's Theme because I enjoyed it so much. As for the snowy world's boss, it was rather sad to me.

[Nesquik3D]

I agree the story of the snow world's boss was a bit sad, but the giant statue forms reminded me of those Russian dolls that have smaller ones inside when you open them.
I was really surprised to see Petey Piranha in this game. Come to think of it, a lot of Super Mario Sunshine characters had their paper debut. Bowser Jr., Gooper Blooper, Petey Piranha...

Could Nintendo be hinting at a Super Mario Sunshine remake? No, I must be over thinking this.

Maybe a sequel. Also, any references to characters from the previous games? Specifically a certain character still in an egg.

Unlike most paper mario games, there was no references to ANY previous games. It felt like a new developer made this game, even though it didn't

There's still one, though. Try rummaging through the trash in the jungle.

[Clamps]

After Sticker Star left a bad taste in my mouth, I decided to go back and play TTYD, and as I suspected, it is pretty much perfect.

Why couldn't IS just make a follow-up to TTYD?

[Nesquik3D]

I found that by complete accident. It was awesome to find, though. XD I also enjoyed seeing old characters have paper debuts. (except for you, Birdo...)

I just beat the game earlier today. When will Miyamoto decide that the whole "OMG BOWSER TURNED HUGE" thing is getting old? Other than that, the final battle was pretty cool. But why did Bowser say absolutely NOTHING in this game? He was hilarious in the other Paper Mario games!

I think they wanted to make him seem more menacing and less of a joke. That's one story direction in sticker star that I actually agree with. Bowser as a comic relief was getting old.

Understandable. Since he is the main villain again they would want him to be more menacing. But, that doesn't justify the whole "BOWSER TURNED HUGE" thing. How many times in recent years have we seen that?

But still, I would have liked at least one funny line from him.

[Dragon Trainer X]

It does make me wonder if they will ever come up with a better gimmick for a final battle. Most of the recent Mario games have Bowser turning larger and more destruct able.

[lolipiece]

Turning huge? Yes, he did do that, but there's something a little more unique to it that would only make sense in a Paper Mario game.

Basically, Bowser turned into cardboard.

If you think about it, that's fitting. Paper Mario vs Cardboard Bowser.

The game is nothing but a giant diorama, anyway.

So, if you ever wanted to know why PM:SS is the way it is....well....

Miyamoto : (

[Aside from wanting us to change the atmosphere a lot, there were two main things that Miyamoto-san said from the start of the project—"It's fine without a story, so do we really need one?" and "As much as possible, complete it with only characters from the Super Mario world. Iwata That's a difficult task. In some ways that would be the exact opposite direction from recent games in the series. Tanabe Yeah.

WHAT.

With regard to the story, we did a survey over the Super Paper Mario game in Club Nintendo, and not even 1% said the story was interesting.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?????
And I didn't know they actually read those surveys >_> I guess I should take them more seriously from now now on.

[Sabconth]

WHAT.

That's insane. The whole reason this series is so enjoyable is due to the characters and the story, particularly in TTYD.

[lolipiece]

So basically, that small percentage were the only ones who played the game, I bet.

[diakyu]

Well, those surveys probably happened when people's hate of SPM was still fresh. If those surveys were taken now it would be different.

[Grim Heaper]

I liked the SPM story, it's just the gameplay was a big turn off.

What if they took PMSS's battle system and SPM story? That would be a good game I'd think.

[PokeMaster366]

I don't like how Nintendo got rid of badges entirely. If they were so worried about them being OP, they could've used the same system they used for the stickers in Sticker Star or the powers in Kid Icarus: Uprising and made it so that you had to fit the badges on a single page in order to use them. The better the badge, the more space it takes up on that page.

[Plus side down side]

The reviews are kind of worrying me because I asked for this for Christmas. Is it at least kind of fun?

Isn't that the exact same thing as BP? Just visualized?

Aside from having to place the badges tactically.

The humor is still as good, but it kind of falls back the first Paper Mario to me due to how the battles have been greatly altered...
