For those of you unfamiliar with the Paper Mario series, it was basically a RPG with Mario elements, every game was packed full to the brim with interesting stories and characthers, and the battle system for each game became more and more twitch based.

I guess if the previous Paper Marios could be associated with RPGs like Final Fantasy, Super Paper Mario could be probably termed as an action RPG. So there's gonna be more adventuring, backtracking, and... in typical Nintendo RPG form, lots and lots of text.

So if you're thinking that SUper Paper Mario will be another traditional Mario platforming outing, it's not. But if you're familiar with the Paper Mario series or you're willing to try out a fun action RPG, with a pretty well written script, then by all means.. Super Paper Mario is for you!

Not much Nintendo releases I'm interested in lately mar.. next month.. OUUUEEEEENNDAAAAANNN 2!!!

I'm not saying it's bad, its just that if you're expecting a Mario action game, it's not going to be what you expected. Paper Mario is different it's more an action rpg than a platform game... although it has very heavy platform flavoring... arrggg.. it defies classification!!

oh god.. thats exactly why I put this thread up, Hey, SimHum you wanna help me out here?

The thing is.. Super Paper Mario is more an Adventure game than a straight forward linear action/platform game you might expect a Super Mario game to be. In your usual Super Mario game, all you do is finish the level and that's it.

Paper Mario, is more an adventure game, yes, it's a Mario based title so you can expect lots of jumping, Goomba stomping, Coin collecting. But because it's an adventure game, there'll be brain teasing puzzles, and textual clues, plots, subplots, lots and lots of fun text to read on screen.

So it's 2 different type of games, My purpose of posting this post is.. say a loving parent wanted to buy his young son a new game for the Wii, and he sees a new Mario game, and he knows.. hey.. it's Super Mario, it's a pretty straight forward platform game, what could go wrong? Well if you bought Super Paper Mario for a young child who can't quite read properly yet... well... it's not gonna end beautifully..
