Have you ever played Paper Mario? If not my friend well YOU ARE IN LUCK because I recently rediscovered Paper Mario and it's exactly as great of a game as I remember it being when I last played it over 10 years ago. Which is pretty impressive!
Aaahhh where to begin on why I love it? Well, for starters, the concept. You've got the Mario whimsy paired with one of my favorite genres of gameplay: the turn-based RPG. Except it's not entirely turn-based because you can execute action commands to deal more or take less damage, which kind of blew my mind back in the day and still stands up as a fun mechanic to keep you on your toes during the battles.
I am also guaranteed to love anything that has a bunch of main characters, and this game definitely serves that up too, because you get 8 different partners you team up with over the course of the game and they're all great both in personality and in powers that they bring to the table. The writing is also top-notch - you can tell the translators had some fun with this one.
Honestly, I basically think this is a perfect video game, which is why it kind of boggles me that as far as I remember, the sequel (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door) took everything great about it and made it even better. I am currently looking for a way to legitimately get my hands on that one, because god DANG. I need my Paper Mario fix.
