Super Paper Mario
From Nintendo
Appeal: This game will please SEMI-SERIOUS and HARDCORE gamers as well as NINTENDO FANS. For children?: Maybe; it can be difficult. This innovative Mario title combines platforming and RPG elements (ask your kid what those are) with an entertaining story and some brilliant humor; one of the best games on the system.Customer Reviews
Best Game in the World
Super Paper Mario is an awesome game. You get to play as all the good chacaters: Bowser, Luigi, Peach, and of course Mario. You get to go into 3D where all sorts of hidden things are. And you have all these pixels that are awesome. I love it and I'm only 8!
Eh...
I can fully see how Super Paper Mario charms so many people, but for me personally, the bad outweighs the good. I wish it were otherwise, but there's no accounting for taste. So here's my humble review.
The graphics are colorful and inventive, but no more so than you'd see in a regular Gamecube title. I like how the Wii remote is used sideways like a regular controller... that was cool. And the dialogue is so funny sometimes... but sadly, after a while it became the only real source of entertainment that I got out of the game. I'm a super-fast reader, so the amount of it didn't faze me... although I could have done without some of the more useless explanations and tidbits of information.
The one big thing that takes the cake for me in this game is: it's boring and tedious. It seriously takes out of the replay value for me, which is unfortunate, since I paid $50 for it straight up, at the store. The elevator music soundtrack and dragging gameplay is a good way to relax if you want to think about nothing important and just space out, though. And you get to look at pretty scenery while you're at it, too.
Maybe after I'm done with the game, I'll draw some Mr. L fan art. Along with Count Bleck, he (and Luigi, I guess, by default) is the coolest character.
