Probably one of the best games for the Game Cube!
In this game, they do not stress the graphics of the Game Cube, so you get a clear picture of what is happening. There is a nice lengthy storyline, and the game requires for you to level up and choose between upgrading your HP (Health Points), FP (Flower Points), or BP (Badge Points). This isn't a Mario game that you could finish in a couple of hours.
