Find a flaw

I-I can't.

partners are just random abstract things

no towns other than the hub world

hub world is mediocre compared to toad town/rogueport

levels are kinda boring even if the plot is okay

coins and items feel a lot more useless, less gratifying than badges/starpieces

battles aren't as fun

basically, it's a big step down from TYD in everything except the plot twist, but at least it's still worlds better than sticker shit

Game is long, like annoyingly long. Levels get super gimmicky to the point of being tedious. Otherwise it's a neat concept

Playing as Luigi/Peach/Bowser is shit because they can't go 3D like Mario.

>>385784721
It's not a role playing game.

it's the reason the devs decided to take paper mario into the depths of hell.

This character marked the end of OCs in the Mario franchise.

This.

Also, was there any reason not to use Bowser once you unlocked him? I recall him being pretty OP.

The thing with Mr.L and /ourguy/ Francis were pretty good. The story was alright too. I hated the platforming and lack of roleplaying mechanics.
Not only that this game and its sequels are pretty weak compared to what this series used to be.

It wasn't thousand year door and it planted the idea that its okay to make paper mario not thousand year door. Which was okay in this case but clearly that clearly hasnt been a good idea since

You'd have to ride that one pixl everywhere with him if you didn't want to be ridiculously slow.

>>385784946
>no towns other than the hub world
There are towns in chapters 1, and 5

Shit partners, laughably bad story story, shit music, poor attempt at a love story the piantas in pm2 had a better one, unecessary timelimit to 3D until the end game.

>laughably bad story story, shit music

But that's not true though

Pretty much everything besides the plot/presentation/music.

Seriously fuck the Cragnons

Platforming was just okay for a Mario game and it almost has no RPG elements. But it does have the best story in a Mario game.

My only problem is that it was absolutely ridiculously, retardedly easy, to the point where you could simply not die without purposely gimping yourself severely.

btw, this was a localization change, he didn't actually say that in the Japanese version

It's not turn based so it's automatically better than the previous two.

Some of the major flaws were obviously that it wasn't a traditional Paper Mario game.

I can point out atleast 3 posts in this thread at the time of this post, that just flat out hate it for not being a turn based RPG like the first 2.

Overall it was a great game for what it was meant to be: a pseudo 2D sidescroller with RPG elements.

No, you can't say it was a bad game because of 5 out of like 10 chapters, because every Paper Mario had THOSE parts. The real flaw with SPM was level design and it's lack of continuity.

The first world was almost perfect. It uses every mechanic it shows you within the first hour of gameplay. You use the pixl, you point at the screen to find hidden things, you obtain the main gimmick of the game and use it in simple ways to show how the rest of the game will go, you do some platforming, and you talk to villagers to get some information and unlock different areas. Every area after that? Nope. Name one fucking time you use the "Point at the screen" gimmick after chapter 1. Maybe ONCE? Every pixl is used in their respective chapter ONLY, and leaves no space for creativity (outside of combat). No. Seriously.

The most creative part of the game was the Pit of 100 Trials. Think about that. How do you make a side scrolling combat game "harder" when all you do is jump on enemies to damage them? Tight corridors and clever use of what the game hands you. Pit o 100 is easily done if you bother using more than 2 pixls for it.
>He didnt use the shrinking pixl to duck under horizontal obstacles like lasers and boomerangs

You fucks seriously need to look past it not being a turn-based Paper Mario game.

It didn't really feel like Mario, there were no traditional Mario enemies like goomas and koopas everything including partners were these weird geometric shapes.

It's alright anon. Tell us where Paper Mario touched you.

If it's that compressed, blood flow would most likely be restricted. It'd hurt like hell, but you might not get a penile fracture.

she sure is

but seriously, I don't really mind them reusing her for 3 games straight. OC characters for each game would've just been walking suitcase or floating paintbucket tier anyway.
if only she wasn't such a cunt towards luigi
