Why is this game seen as the worst in its series? PiT had the darkest and engaging Mario story and is a long ass, hard game to boot.
>hub world was boring compared to Beanbean Kingdom
-the time travel gimmick was wasted
-the US version gave all the bosses super-bloated HP

It was really short, the baby mechanic got kind of annoying after a while, and there were little to no sidequests outside of Bean collecting. It felt extremely underwhelming after Superstar Saga.

linear as fuck
short as fuck
every area but the hub is a dungeon
boss HP is broken in the US version
special attacks being usable items never works in Mario RPGs
>Hard
The only redeeming part was the story, but the game itself was boring as shit.

why was the HP even bloated in the first place?

Because the damage output mechanics were strange so they changed it when doing the JP version

Because of nostalgiafags that love to whine about anything released after GBA era. Also because they didn't liked its dark mood.
Personally I love PiT and it's a worthy sequel. Also even if it's darker, it's still colorful and funny like the first M&L game.

>darkest
Why do people act like this is inherently good? Are people this edgy on this board?

the same people that think Bowser should get vacay and let a shitty doppelganger play "star nemesis" for a few games.
