This game, while very good, is over-rated and contains an astounding amount of backtracking filler
Were you hoping to start a heated debate with that completely reasonable opinion?

fuck you, dad!
And water is wet. What's your point?
Yeah, like when they forced you to fight four groups of those ghost enemies in a row just to get through the Keelhaul Key door puzzle. What were they thinking? JRPGs waste your time so much.
64 was better

I like color splash.
If they made another Paper Mario like the first two, what are the partners that you would like to see?
>>382815516
Blooper, Chain Chomp, Shy Guy and/or Snifit, Podoboo, Rocky Wrench, Bullet Bill, Magikoopa
>>382815458
Me too.
Paper Luigi game when?
>>382814705
The Paper Mario series has always been a poor man's Mario and Luigi since TTYD.
>>382815816
*since Sticker Star
>>382815816
Other way around. M&L was never good since Superstar Saga.
>>382814705
the great tree, chapter 4, and chapter 7's start is really dumb.
Everything else is pretty great though
>>382816110
Chapter 4 has a real good spooky feel going for it but it was ruined by the constant travel back and forth. It could've been handled much better.

>series first game is so good that only ONE of the subsequent entries even comes close to topping it
PiT was a misstep, Dream Team was a literal snoozefest, and Paper Jam refined DT's mechanics but the actual game is dull and lacking polish/excitement.
>>382815816
i don't enjoy M&L because of the way you have to control both brothers, also paper mario had way more variety in terms of character builds/abilities/items

Paper Mario and TTYD were both way better than Superstar Saga and Partners in Time. SPM is a hybrid RPG/platformer game that hasn't been replicated by anything else.
Sticker Star and Color Splash are inferior to Bowser's Inside Story, Dream Team and Paper Jam.
>>382816394
Precisely, Bowser's Inside Story was the only exception. The M&L series has been milked a little too much, and I think they know it since they've made a remake instead of a new entry. They need to take a break from the series for a bit, maybe give Paper Mario its RPG element back in the mean time since it has a completely different charm to it.
>>382816110
Chapter 1 is too similar to PM64's chapter 1, Chapter 3 is dull on replays,
Chapter 5 has the same backtracking BS as chapter 4 and the first half of chapter 7 is a joke.
>>382814705
Backtracking is literally the only thing wrong with the game, it's a minor flaw and everything else is fucking tops
>>382814705
Imaging how garbage this game would seem without chapter 3. That entire chapter saves practically the entire game.

> Sticker Star and Color Splash are inferior to Paper Jam
This, it pains me to agree with this. The first two Paper Mario games I adore wholeheartedly, but they keep trying to reinvent Paper Mario when it doesn't need to be fixed. Super Paper Mario has story but horrible gameplay, it was better when it was for shots and giggles as Bowser in TTYD.
Super Mario RPG: LotSS >>> Nothing
Paper Mario "Mario RPG 2" > Superstar Saga
TTYD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Partners in Time
Super Paper Mario <<<<<<< Bowser's Inside Story
Sticker Star <<<<<<<<<<<< Dream Team
Color Splash <<<<<<<<<<< Paper Jam
The Paper Mario series used to be better than the Mario & Luigi series until the SPM and BiS era.
Now the Mario & Luigi series is better overall than the Paper Mario series.
>>382817018
The level design is lacking too, the areas are ridiculously linear and some dungeons like the creepy steeple are tiny.
The partner's field abilities are too similar to PM64's as well.
>>382815516
A Goonie, a Monty Mole, and a Wiggler.
>>382815516
Honestly, a Toad would be nice. Obviously a unique Toad with their own design, but it's kind of surprising it never happened.
my save file of this got corrupted

Amiibo/DLC Paper versions of other Nintendo characters.
