The idiot who puts things in the wrong board.
If anyone knows anything about me, its that I'm a Bowser fanboy and that I don't have the highest opinion of Super Paper Mario. With aspects that range between dislike to outright hatred. So out of boredom and to stop derailing topics about it I'm going to put all my opinions of the game into this.
First, what I like. Multiple playable characters is good, though Bowser is a bit too OP, thus making using the others beyond puzzles a bit superfluous. Flipping between 2D and 3D is a cool mechanic, but I feel its rather half baked. I like the idea of a platformer rpg and wouldn't mind seeing it again, but SPM's version of it is very half baked and under developed.
Now what I dislike. First off the worlds and character designs. I don't like most of them. They are either extremely dull and uninspired, or have extremely baffling design decisions that just suck the life out of me and make me not want to continue. Second is the character designs. I hate them. They are either too minimalistic, or just plain ugly to look at. The most notable are the cragnons, flipside towns folk, and the main villains.
And for what I hate, the story. Its cliched, even by Mario standards and there are no real ''mario-esque'' twists put onto it. Its just a run of the mill hero saves the world(s) prophecy story. Its way too melodramatic and takes itself way too bloody seriously. The worst thing about it, the thing that annoys me the most about it is that the actual main Mario cast has largely nothing to do with the actual events of the game in question. They as actual characters are irrelevant and are just macguffins. The real main character is a rather bland pixl and her relationship with the main villain. The whole thing feels like the developers wanted to write their own generic jrpg and just slapped it on PM.
