Your thoughts on Super Paper Mario

What do you think of Super Paper Mario?

Most successful version they ever had and the rest of the series will be that way

All the others were let downs in one area or another, the formula has finally been perfected

But there is till a major problem in Super Paper Mario, there is WAY TO MUCH TEXT.

I almost spent more time reading than I did playing the actual game.

Other than this, there isn't much wrong with any of the paper mario games, it really all depends on the player. That is, does one prefer the turn-based or real-time combat.

That's why I like the story. It actually explains it in full detail instead of just going from one place to another without knowing your goal. Kinda like how MGS4 is full of hour long cutscenes. It makes for a better story.

I had fun and liked how it was more reminiscent of classic Super Mario than Super Mario Galaxy was, but all the "dialog" was so freaking annoying that it detracted from the game a lot. I couldn't button-mash past it fast enough to keep from going insane.sremick

Super Paper Mario was awsome. How many hybrid genres do we see like this? An RPG mixed with a platformer and another amazing storyline in the Paper Mario fashion.

It was a great game, one I would love to see continued on the DS, but I also want to see the traditional Paper Mario come back. Paper Mario in general is such a good series. Even people who do not normally like RPGs can appreciate this.

The first one was better IMO, but I still like this one.

Great game that is inferior to Paper Mario and Paper Mario 2.

I think the series will eventually return to its roots.

Nice combination of RPG and Platformer properties and very nice 2D-3D flipping mechanic makes SPM a very unique game for the Wii. A must for RPG and Platformer fans, but not the best in the Paper Mario series.

Infact I consider SPM a spin-off of the main Paper Mario series. Paper Mario 3 will go back to old turn-based fighting mechanic, I can feel it.:)

Super Paper Mario felt really fresh. Paper Mario 64 is probably my favorite of the series, but Super Paper Mario is still a fantastic game. I loved the story, but I agree, way too much text. And I didn't think the sidekicks were nearly as interesting as the last games, in fact the character design in general was a bit lame. But the story was great, the visuals are beautiful, the 3-D flipping was a sweet concept, and it was a hillarious game in general.

the game was okay. i mean i liked the story a lot. i dont mind reading. it does make you know what is going on in the game which is great. it is just that i thought the first 2 paper mario games were absolutely fantastic and when i heard about super paper mario, i was so excited but when i got the game, i noticed the partners were not the usual goomba and koopa partners that you team up with. the count bleck and tippi story was absolutely one of the best stories ever in a video game. i did miss kammy koopa though. she and bowser were funny together. dimentio is an absolutely fantastic addition to the game. he makes areally good villain and i actually hope he returns in a future paper mario game. so i i thought the story was great but the game was not nearly as good as the first two. i hope the next paper mario is more like the first 2 and you get goomba and koopa partners again. i also hope kammy koopa returns.

It wasn;t quite as good as the previous two Paper mario titles, but it was still a very good game, nonetheless.

Voice acting would be cool. I know blasphemy talking in a Mario game. All that good script could be put to more use.

It's a pretty good game but I still prefer the first two.

Loved this game more so then the others in the previous ones. Id give it a 9.5 but I kind of miss the RPG elements. I also was happy that it didnt involve Mario saving Peach.

I bought it a few weeks after release and have yet to finish it. I thought it was funny and like the art style. That said, I don't like as a whole. The flipping mechanic is torture for completionists like me. I'm constantly flipping the world to find hiiden goodies and it's a horrible idea. Mario is the only one that can do it, so I rarely find use for Bowser, Peach and Luigi. Some parts were pretty boring, like working for cash in the place you get locked in with all the slaves who are doing the same thing. Inventive twistmaybe, but I'll be damned if I actually have to WORK IN MY GAMES!:x

It just didn't work for me. I guess I will try and beat it to write my review of why it ultimately sucked.

Meh for me also. It was funny but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too easy.MonsieurX

I really liked the Wii one because it was all like"

"I'm 2D!!! But not anymore!!! You see that? Now it's 3D!!!"

And stuff.

Too much text for so little story. Another reason why it was too much is that the text diluted the truly funny parts. There was some comedic brilliance in there, but it was completely drowned. Less text would have let it stand out more. Also, too little emphasis on RPG stuff. I actually had to think about it after beating the game whether it was an RPG when someone asked because I couldn't off-hand remember any RPG elements, it was so downplayed.clicketyclick

I especially agree about the humor. Some of it was downright hilarious, but it was like several dabs of frosting on an otherwise bland cake. I like reading too, but it completely interrupted the flow of the game in this case.
