Super Paper Mario

I've noticed a trend with the Paper Mario games:

Paper Mario 1 = Great gameplay, but bad story
Paper Mario TTYD = Good gameplay and good story
Super Paper Mario = not exactly the best gameplay, but amazing story.

Is that how balance is created? Maybe for Sticker star, it will rebalance itself.

I've noticed another trend with the games:
- The final boss for each game was invincible for the first part of the fight (although the Shadow Queen could be hurt before she made herself invincible)

I'm willing to bet that the final boss of Sticker Star will be invincible for the first part of the fight, otherwise it'd break the trend, then again the trend is predictable if you've played through the Paper Mario games.

Saw a used copy in my game store. Kind of want to buy it, kind of don't. Chapters 6 and 7 seem like huge turn-offs considering the sheer lengthiness of them.

Nah son, you'll have a good time.

I agree that SPM's an [i]awesome[/i] game. I was alright with the gameplay, though I'm also fine with Sticker Star going back to its roots.

The only downside to SPM was the partner roster; it was all about Mario and the gang, which is fine, but partners are the real charm to the Paper Mario series.

While I think TTYD was better than SPM, It's still an awesome game. [url="http://www.toy-tma.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Super-Paper-Mario-Ending.jpg"]The ending was good... *sniff*[/url]

Also, Paper Luigi FTW.

I have to agree, Super Paper Mario, a bit underrated. Sure its gameplay is far from the series usually is, but the story well makes up for it. TTYD still the best imo, hoping sticker star does well.

I didn't, but those aren't actual [i]characters[/i]. They only talk when you first meet them and then they become weapons for the rest of the game. Later partners continued to grow (if you took them out) and had plenty of development beforehand.

I enjoyed SPM's plot, but TTYD will always stand out as one of the defining games of my childhood.

Seriously, I played through again a few weeks ago, and SO MUCH NOSTALGIA.

On topic: Like I said before, the plot was very enjoyable, with twists that legitimately surprised me, not the "well, duh" I usually do.

Those plot twists are also what made me love the game. And I agree about TTYD, it's simply the best Paper Mario game, even though I only just got it a month ago. :P
