Chapter 1 - NintenReviews- Super Paper Mario
The Mario game series continues to grow strong. But this ain't the best Mario game you'll play. I would actually rent this game instead of buying it for $50. Here's why...
Gameplay- Pretty good. It's just like Super Paper Mario. The 3-D thing is really unique. BUT. Very little are their special moves... well just one move. When you jump on top of an enimie, you can push up and down the Wiimote getting extra points and having an audience grow each time you jump. Some special items like the Star make you freakin' large like in the New Super Mario Bros.game are pretty cool.
What dissapoints me-remember from The Thousand Year Door the battle mode where you fight on a stage? It's gone. I kind of liked it even though it gets annoying when it happens frequently. Also theirs not really any special fighting items. There's just mainly items that help you.
Graphics- Very Gamecube-ish. But visuals are improved from The Thousand Year Door. The art style is amazingly unique! Probably one of the best I've seen of any game!
Sound-The music fits pretty well with each level theme.
Characters and enimies-You can play as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser. The pixls are creatures that help you with their powers through obsticles in the game. My favorite's the bomb pixl. Their are 12 pixls. The main pixl, Tipi, has very cool features. For the enimies, their's probably at least 30 non-boss monsters, and at least 15 boss battles. Sadly most monsters are easy and quick to beat. A lot easier than Twilight Princess's monsters. Also most are uncreative.
Total completion time- 20 hours. Somewhat good. If you rent this, you could most likely complete this before returning it.
Age range-This game can get really kidish. Immature things like farts, and creepy expressions.
Diolage- Very out dated and immature. Some quotes are actually funny. Their's A LOT of diolage, and luckily, you can speed up the talking to get through it.
This game should be worth-$40.
Current trade in value @ Gamestop-Around $15
Replay Value- very freakin' low! Why? Because you seem to know what's coming throught the entire. I did try playing the game a second time, but after a couple hours it got boring. After beating the game, there's not much to do, just a couple sidequests and that's it.
FINAL SCORES-
Gameplay-8/10
Graphics-7.8/10
Fun Factor-8.5/10
Sound-7/10
Characters-8/10
Battles-6.8/10
Diolage-6.8/10
FINAL-8.2/10
CONCLUSION- It's a great game. But it feels like a downgrade from the other Paper Mario games. The price for this game makes it a minor rip-off. This game is targeted for kids, but some teens may like this. Not too much of hardcore game either. Also I traded this in because it got so boring after I beat it.
Thanks For Reading!!!

hehe... well, I bought it and I relaly liked it. I have to agree with most the the stuff, but I got used to the fact that they didn't have the stage battles and I ended up semi liking that fact, but I still prefer the stage battles. The main thing I miss is the allys. In the first, I liked the paratroopa guy. In the second, i liked the old bomb guy. In this one... I don't really like anyone. Carrie is kind of neat, but you don't do much with the allys in this one, which is an uber dissapointment. Yes, a lot of it is more kidish, but that's when you have to learn to let go of it and just laugh anyway. Most of it is more along the lines of dry humor, which I like. A dry sense of humor kind of runs in my family XD. You didn't say anything about the main bad guys though, not the little ones. One of my favorite things about this game is the main bad guys. They're extremely creative and have excentric personalities. I also muchly like the story line, though I'm not fan of love stories. My favorite main bad guy was Dimentio. His design is one of the most unique bad guy designes I've seen and his personality is very interesting with those randomly thrown out, overly long similies. And he's always smiling ^_^ Overall, I think I like the other oens the best when it comes to gameplay, but this one is the most crative out of them in my opinion and that means a lot.
