Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

A little too harsh on SPM tbh but I do agree that SPM is the weakest Paper Mario by far and Sticker Star is a genuinely great game.
 
SPM is an ok game with an ok story that's too melodramatic at times, but Francis makes it worth buying.
 
What I genuinely liked about Sticker Star was the exploration aspect. I think they nailed it on that one, especially in the first jungle level and Chomp Ruins.
Yeah. Pretty much the only qualm I had with Sticker Star is that it had me going back for a strategy guide more times than pretty much any other game I've played.

I found it very enjoyable outside of that, though.
 
As someone who's currently playing Sticker Star, yes I agree

The levels are fun to run around in. I might even say it's way more fun than ttyd but I haven't played the entire game to judge
 
What's interesting is that Super Paper Mario according to Elimination records actually won KO a Character: Wii Games, especially since KO a Character is one of the harsher kinds of eliminations (one person wants you out and you lose). I guess it goes to show how strongly public sentiment changes over time considering how many people on the forum see SPM as the worst Paper Mario game now.
 
If I was active in that game, I would have KO'd it first lol.
 
Paper Mario Origami King is the only Paper Mario game with a serious storyline that didn't make me hate it.
 
Long time no see!

Here's one opinion I'm not sure how many will agree with, but I'm going to say it:

-King K. Rool>Bowser. As much as I like Bowser, I feel he's become a broken record when it comes to his sinister schemes. King K. Rool is in every way better. K. Rool performs different kinds of schemes in most of his roles, the way his minions behave can be funny (especially in Donkey Kong 64 when one Kritter was hanging onto a cable/wire/whatever that was, consistently calling for help), and K. Rool always has a different motive for his schemes.
 
if only k rool appeared more so that we could know about his character more. yea things like the dk cartoon kinda established a personality for him, but we know bowser way more than we know k rool.
