Honest opinion of Super Paper Mario?
>>
>>732289478
Fun for a single playthrough
>>
Good game that retrospectively sent us down a dark path
>>
>>732289478
fun when your ten, funny and deep when you're 16, and painfully boring and easy when you're 23
>>
>>732289478
Deserves to be lumped in with the Sticker Star PMs rather than be known as the "last good Paper Mario".
>>
>>732289478
Ruined Paper Mario and it is yet to be seen if the series will ever recover.
>>
>>732289478
This is the one where the sunk cost fallacy began and the people that couldn't bring themselves to let go of a dying franchise started gaslighting themselves into thinking everything was fine

Basically this, it's a great time but you can see the seeds of what would send us into Sticker Hell.
At least we got Mario & Luigi back for a new game so it's not like Mario RPGs proper are totally dead.
>>
>>732289478

Deviant art ass game. I actually do like the plot but its the baseline for all those types of fanfic type stories.
Feels especially so with all those ms paint assets NPC'S/Enemies
>>
>>732289478
Was 'okay' to play through. and i at least beat it unlike sticker star
>>
>>732289478
Fun game that wasn't perfect, but worked well as a Paper Mario spinoff. It shouldn't have been the start of their experimental bullshit though, just a side project.
>>
It's not really good. The story is strong but the gameplay is unexciting. Like, 4/10, it's just extremely basic in both the platforming and puzzles. The Pixls don't serve the role of companions at all and just vanish once you get them, with only like 4 of them actually doing anything useful outside their chapter.
>>
>>732289478
best game in the series story-wise
>>
I bet Timpani was thick af
>>
Good story, shit gameplay
>>
>>732289478
it's one of those things where the pendulum has shifted too far in other direction. for years people shit on this game because it wasn't like the previous two. but now the children who grew up playing this now claim it's the best thing ever. also since all of the following games are abysmal it makes this game seem even better. honestly it's like the starwars prequels. hated too much back then praised too much now, but in reality the game is just mediocre.
>>
>>732289478
Completely underwhelming and half-baked game that fails at both being a decent platformer and a decent Mario RPG. Only defended by people who have obviously never experienced a single good fictional story because I can't explain why else you would be fascinated by this game's contrived and predictable storyline. The end of the Paper Mario series. Literally only 64 and TTYD are good.
>>
>>732292671
It should have been hated on more, it is literally the root cause of this series falling off a cliff and abandoning it's core audience
>>
>>732289478
it kept the soulful writing but dumpstered everything else, including a setting actually able to utilize that writing
can't rate it above 5/10
>>
>>732292754
honestly given that this game is really wacky and has heavy emphasis on story it's probably why miyamoto forced the dev team to only use toads in the following games.
>>
>>732292739
It's "good" for Mario standards

I thought Paper Mario was co-op and wanted to play with my brother. Sadly it is not. Why aren’t these games co-op?
>>
>>732293635
they're jrpgs (or the older games were)
there is a co-op mod for 64

>>732289478
Bad, uninteresting game design (what's the fucking point of stripping the RPG elements from your RPG series? Mario's mainline is ALREADY platforming) coupled with a badly written, overrated story. Count Bleck is not a good character and I'm tired of everyone pretending he is.
>>732293164
TTYD's story was better. In many ways, SPM is a worse rehash of TTYD.

>>732289478
I liked it. I was 14 years old though. Could’ve laid the groundwork for a Mario metroidvania, but nope.

yeah that’s not going to happen. there was so much false advertising in the promotional material for origami king and the dialogue and writing in the game was so passive aggressive towards the original fanbase. it’s over for paper mario
>>
>>732289478
The gimmick wore off real fast and what's left is a dumbed down platformer.

>>732293167
I had to look at it three times until I understood Nintendo hadn't licensed a manga that portrays two people having sex.
>>
>>732289478
Much better than the shit that came after it, still not anything higher than a 7/10.
>>
>>732289478
I liked the banter and sense of adventure so much I could forgive the gameplay being fucking shit. Intelligent Systems absolutely did not know how to design a platformer which is ironic because the original Mario devs figured that shit out in 1985. All they had to do was imitate that. Instead it's a platformer with no physics or level design and an RPG with no customization

Are you a fucking bot? What makes you think any of these games are relevant? If IntSys copied WL4 or SMW or what the fuck ever, that would have been fine too. They didn't have platformer devs and had no fucking idea what makes one good. The closest SPM's director got to a platformer was fucking Wario's Woods

Undercooked world.

2D levels DO NOT make for an RPG-like sense of adventure and wonder.

That's true. TTYD has simple but efficient plot beats.

7/10 but the beginning of the end for the franchise.
Has maximum soul still but terrible gameplay and very dubious game structure (splitting every chapter into 4 different parts did the game no favor).
>>
It's not a truly awful game, but it's not truly enjoyable either, filled with so many things that exist to waste your time or be ironically funny that would later be the blue print for the games that came after it.

Perhaps the die was cast when Miyamoto let Ryota Kawada direct the series, he made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of RPG that meant anything to anybody, just rediculously profitable games that outsell anything that has "soul". Super Paper Mario might be anti mandate(or not), but its certainly the anti rpg series on the wii in its refusal of wonder, beauty, and excitement. no one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>A-atleast it was good though
"No!"
The Writing is dreadful, the gameplay was terrible, As I played i noticed every time a character went for a battle, they were platforming instead of taking turns.

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time there wasn't an RPG battle. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Ryota's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that means he has no other style of writing. Later i read a lavish, loving review of Super Paper Mario. It said something to the effect of, "if these kids are playing Super Paper Mario at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to play Fez. And they were quite right. they were not being ironic. when you play "Super Paper Mario" you are, in fact, trained to play Fez.

>>732289478
Had some memorable bits in there. Recall the game having some really fucking low points though, chapter 5-1 is hot garbage, ch7-3 is tedious back tracking on a blind play. The games main town is a bitch to navigate, with it being basic shapes and 0 memorable locations in it, easily pads the playtime since getting access to some chapters has you doing convulated fetch quests / backtracking. Its peaks are peak. Ch2, 3, 7s first half, and 8 are all very good.
>>
>>732289478
I enjoyed the comedy and liked playing as Peach and Bowser. The overall story wasn't much to write home about, people just glaze Nintendo for daring to write a story in a Mario game with an element of "maturity". The core gameplay of switching perspectives from 2D to 3D was fun as a puzzle game, but a poor idea for a platformer. Chapters were forgettable except for the Mimi and Francis chapters. Creating an RPG platformer was kinda interesting. A traditional 2D Mario with items, a health bar, attack, defence, and other stats sounds fun, but this game didn't execute it very well.

Overall, Wii slop that had a few moments going for it. 6.5/10

genuinely i only like the green maid girl

The peaks are an overrated mess as well. Chapter 2 is peak? You just walk through a house and do obnoxious tasks.

Super Paper Mario and Undertale are literally the same game.

Completed it for the first time a couple months ago. Pretty good. Probably would've been better if I played it as a kid when I got it and not 20 years later after being spoiled on most of the plot points.
>>
The whole game being computer themed was obvius right?
>>
I respect the creativity and soul but the gameplay is ass
>>
>>732293635
How do you make an rpg co-op? Do you hand the controller over to another player whenever its their turn in battle?
>>
>>732289478
fuck chapter 5
>>
I really like it, I got into it after playing it at a friends house then it became part of the Nintendo Selects program.
>>
>>732291889
Not really the right Paper Mario to make that comparison, anon.
>>
Loved it as a kid. Bored me to fucking tears as an adult.
