In SPM his stupidity is flanderized to the 11th degree and he spends a lot of game crying and whining like a baby, his pathetic aspects even take part in the battles against him where one of his attacks is running towards you and flailing his arms.
When he's properly written he doesn't save people selflessly nor does he cry or whine like a baby when he gets upset. Instead he'll get angry and pissed off.
The game even tried to imply he isn't all that bad of a guy, which is horse shit.

I found it epic, whether it's cliched or not doesn't matter to me as long as it doesn't feel like "been there done that" the way the main series and Sticker Star feels. At least it has original characters and some kind of story (and a damn good one I'd say).
I would try to explain it better but I feel like I've already done so too many times and it's kind of hard to put into words.

The entire plotline is been there done that. Same with its characters its all painfully overused rpg cliches. Yeah SS and the other main series games have their own cliches but there the story isn't expected to be taken seriously nor does it even present itself.
And even for the other rpgs that have plotlines. Those ones will put their own spin on the old ideas and give them a very distinct ''mario'' like feel.
But no, not SPM. It just uses extremely tired storytelling cliches and makes its overall plot not about the main characters everyone loves, but instead about some one offs who we will NEVER see again.
God I fucking hate SPM's plotline. Its a spit in the face of EVERYTHING that makes Mario the great franchise that it is.

It seems we disagree on what makes Mario awesome then. Because I saw Sticker Star as more of an insult to the franchise and SPM as an example of where it shines best.

SS as mediocre as it is at least understands how the theme of Mario works. Which is lighthearted adventure. SPM is full of melodramatic bullshit that has no business being in a series where the main character is a goddamn plumber who uses performance-enhancing mushrooms to rescue a princess or other such things from a fire breathing turtle monster whose ego is bigger than the planet they live on.
I want to like Super Paper Mario. I really do.
There are so many titles that are just "kidnap! rescue!" and this one actually had a story beyond that.
It just didn't click with me, though.
I feel especially bad for not liking it because I feel that SPM's criticism is the reason Nintendo decided to make Sticker Star the way it is.

I don't see how SPM's story doesn't fit with the Mario series when there were games like Partners in Time and The Thousand Year Door before it, which both had "darker" stories compared to the Mario series. Are the stories cliche? Yes, but what story nowadays doesn't have cliches. Also, SPM is the best in the series.

Oh, excellent!
Except that SPM wasn't really a Paper Mario. When some one says "Paper Mario", my instant thought isn't a 2D Game with RPG style enemy bashing and annoying 3D flicking sound affects. It's more like M&L where you have heaps of strategy, equipment and levels.Magolor said:

When I think of Paper Mario I think of a paper-style Mario game with an epic story, partners (SPM did have them), experience, items, tons of side content and a large hub.Ninelevendo said:
SPM was all that.

Oh, excellent!
SPM didn't really have a good story in my and most peoples opinions, but that's not the point. You don't go "Paper Mario is NSMB with RPG Elements". You think more in line of M&L and SMRPG, not NSMB. Paper Mario games usually have at least some sort of Paper element, and SPM didn't really have anything. It's still more of a Paper Mario game than SS was.That One Weird Dude Who Plays Mario And Eats Burgers All Day said:
