Living proof that writing and story can save an otherwise shitty game.
Too bad none of you filled out that Club Nintendo survey honestly.

HOLY SHIT WHERE?
Yeah nah. The story was average at best. Nothing can redeem bad gameplay.
>muh magical 7 macguffins which can save the universe
It's more that the peak of witty mario rpg writing was wasted on a not-rpg. It's worth playing once but it didn't save the game.
IF the gameplay to this and Sticker Star was phenominal and not covered in bloated mistakes and issues, the story wouldn't stand out so much.

What the fuck is wrong with you people?
I think TTYD and SPM are equally great.

CANON PAPER MARIO RANKING

>Super Paper Mario
>Thousand Year Door
>Sticker Star
Further proof

With the exception of Sticker Star, that's literally the opposite of the correct ranking.

I thought the Underwhere being the land of Game Overs was a cool touch. Also fucking Cerberus Chomp.
>>335636519
I remember absolutely nothing about the story of this game except for facebook meme frog.
SPM had too many overly long drawn out gags.

>Type "please" five times and then go get a piece of paper so you can write this long ass block-hitting order down.
>Let's teleport you to the bottom of that tall as fuck vertical shaft in the road to the Overthere two or three times.
>There are four fucking Pit of 100 Trials if you include Sammer Kingdom and having to go through the Flopside pit twice.
>>335636519
It was the writing that caused Super Paper Mario's atrocious pacing in the first place.

>Hold right for like seven minutes for Rubee farming
Oh god he actually did it the madman
>>335642027
Two to three of those can be completely avoided, and as for the fourth, I recommend yougit gud
That shit pales in comparison to Backtracking: The RPG: Featuring Purple Mario and the Tranny Ghost
Wny is Super Paper Mario considered shitty?
>>335641032
The issue isn't that it's a platformer now. That's great. The issue is that the game still thinks it's a fucking RPG and IS had their head up their ass the entire time.
You know what's great in platformers? LOTS OF CUTSCENES. And don't forget ENDLESS BACKTRACKING. Oh and that fucking chapter that is almost entirely the same fight over again and then running in a white space for three minutes.

In terms of gameplay, they wanted Paper Mario 3 but got Zelda 2: Adventures of Link instead.
>>335642678
Uninteresting action RPG elements and poor platforming compared to most Mario platformers.
