THE GOOD: Simple, fun and easy to learn gameplay, expands on Super Mario RPG, unique graphics, mostly good soundtrack, simple story allows you to focus your attention on gameplay, control scheme is simple and easy to learn as well as quite responsive, an overall fun experience really.
THE BAD: Too easy and only lets you carry 10 items at a time. Some songs will get on your nerves as well.
SUMMARY: Created by Intelligent Studios in 2001, Paper Mario is one of the few RPG games on the N64. It adheres to a fair amount of turn-based RPG traditions (like a story, easy to learn turn-based battle system, HP and M..err, FP, A...BP and ATK stats, accessories, puzzles and more) while following up with the standard Mario formula (simple story consisting of "omg Princess Peach has been kidnapped by Bowser, save her Mario! And drop a few pounds while you're at it!" as well as some platforming and something to do with stars).
THE GOOD: - Cheap price cost now. - Alot of badges. - Alot of recipes. - Easy game to get into. - Battle sequences are good. - The sidequests. - Bowser is strong for once. - Great backgrounds. - Not entirely paper.
THE BAD: - A limit to HP, FP, and BP. - The bosses are easy. - Only 10 items are aloud. - The game can be beaten in a day. - Music is mediocre.
SUMMARY: This game was a good start until they released the second one. This is one of the few N64 games that are still on the shelves with Goldeneye 007, Super Smash Bros, and Mario Kart 64. I recommend this game even though people think it is average I think it is good.(You may want to buy this game because it is almost off the shelves.) This game could have been on the Gamecube if better graphics and sound were available.
THE GOOD: A new type of gameplay, since its not like normal RPG's, but instead is a 'paper' (2d-ish) type gameplay and graphics. It has some depth to it, which is a good thing since you wont really get that bored with it. Its also quite long, so that's a plus.
THE BAD: You have a limit to 10 items that you can carry at once. The game is too easy.
SUMMARY: Now the fact that this is a Mario RPG doesn't instantly make it good. Im also not saying that it's a bad game, its just too easy. The gameplay is fun since you start off as a really weak Mario, but as time advances, so does your ability to make yourself strong and tougher. Its also not a real time game, but instead, it's a turn-based RPG game. This means that you take turns with each character and select the command and watch them then do the move, of whatever you selected them to do.
There are also lots of different puzzles and stuff that you are forced to solve. With this game being...
THE GOOD: Bowser kills you for once no matter what (but you come back from the dead) Some of the bosses and places look good, like LavaLava Island and Tubba Blubba Castle.
THE BAD: Some of the bosses are too easy. Allies could use some HP.
SUMMARY: Lastability: 7/10. When you've beaten Bowser, oops, gotta restart the game. But really, before Bowser, you have to collect stuff like Badges for Mario's attacks, and Super Blocks to power up your allies twice. There's a dojo sidequest, which won't give you EXP, but at least helps you do some other sidequests. However, it's not too long. Graphics: 9/10. Very unique, and great for its time even. Sound: 7/10. Some of the music is hard to hear sometimes, some of the music isn't worth hearing, but most of the music and sound effect scores are pretty sweet. Gameplay: 8/10. Just like in many RPG's, you, ally and enemies will take it in turns to attack. With...
Yes it's Paper Mario the second best Mario RPG (With Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door coming in first place). It's really fun fighting Bowser in this game. I can't describe why it just is. Maybe because he's the final boss. Also I suggest not to trust Chet Rippo. He rips you off. No wonder they call him Chet "Rippo". He may upgrade your HP or FP or BP but he lowers the other two. It's not worth it. Trust me.
I reccomend this game to any Mario or RPG fan. But as I've said before I am not a very big RPG fan but I still enjoyed this game. Buy it.
Lots of fun stuff to do, and plenty of creative areas
THE BAD: Some may call the plot "overused", as wrong as they are
This game is rather simple, and may not appeal to everyone, supposedly the gamers who have to have their rpgs be "complex" and "adult like" for them to be enjoyable.
Uh....I'll think of some other stuff eventually. Well, maybe.
SUMMARY: Well, this is definitely a fun game, and well worth playing. It's a rather simple rpg, but that doesn't stop it from being fun. It may not appeal to everyone, as stated above, but that doesn't mean it's not good. This is, without question, one of the best Mario games. One of the best, ya hear me? ONE OF THE BEST! ONE OF THE BEST!
THE GOOD: its fun and nothing can stop you.the 2d is a good idea for this game
THE BAD: at first bowser beat you BUT EVERY THING ELSE IS COOL cool
SUMMARY: this is the best you unlock lots of secrets.it also has the best paper like effects sometimes your trapped and theres an anser anywhere this is a cool game try it yourself i mean it. I meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeAN it.its the best i mean the 'best'. the best the best theeee best try it now i mean try it now. its to die for.DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEE FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRR DIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE FOOOOOOORRRRRRRRR DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE FOOOOOOORRRRRR DIIIIIIIIEEEEEE FOOOOOOORRRR DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE FOOOOOOORRRRRRRR DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE FOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRR DIIIIIIIEEEEEEE FOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRR DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE FOOOOOOOORRRRRR DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE FOOOOORRR DIE FOR DIE FOR DIE FOR DIE FOR DIE FOR DIE FOR DIE FOR DIE FOR DIE FOR DIE FOR.
THE GOOD: - A Mario RPG game for the Nintendo 64 - Good gameplay and controls - New "paper" graphics - Good plot - Almost everything else
THE BAD: - You can only carry 10 items at a time - Once people join your party, they lose depth - A little easy
SUMMARY: This is definately my favorite Mario game for the Nintendo 64... No, my favorite game for the Nintendo 64! This is a brand new Mario RPG, and everyone should try it.
Notice the name "Paper Mario." They don't call it that for no reason. Nintendo has made a new graphic technique that makes all the characters look paper-thin! The backgrounds, however, are polyginal (sp?). You can move in all directions still. Since the characters are paper thin, you mostly view them from the side. This gives the game not only RPG elements, but platforming elements as well! That's right, sometimes you'll have to hop platforms, or jump over fireballs, and still be able to move in all...
THE GOOD: This game is so fun. Much, much better than any other Mario game I've played. And all you people love Super Mario 64 so much. What about Paper Mario? Huh? Huh? Is he too flat for you? Huh? HUH? The graphics are good, besides most things being flat. It's challenging and long. Wee!
THE BAD: I gave it a five. What do you think? *sarcastically* I don't know, Ms. Authoress. What?
SUMMARY: This game is so fun! The graphics are...um...good, the music is good, it's just good. You can get all these partner dudes to help you. They're cool. You can also buy piggies! But, you can't bring them along on your wonderful adventure of wonderful adventuring. No matter how good you love your piggies, they'll stay behind to wallow in Mario-less misery for the rest of their days...and probably end up in a frying pan. Oh, delicious bacon, clogging my arteries, I love you! Anyway, that's a bit off topic. The bosses are fun in this,...
THE GOOD: Brilliantly-styled graphics, amazing gameplay, simple yet effective battle system, wonderful Characters, and heck, it's Mario isn't it?!
THE BAD: Maybe it can be slightly too cute sometimes...
SUMMARY: This is the best videogame ever to bless the Nintendo 64. The sequel to the NES classic Super Mario RPG, this game begins with a visit to Princess Peach's Castle, where Bowser traps the two lovers, flies off with the Castle, all the while basically being Bowser. He then fights Mario, but this time, there's a twist. Bowser becomes invincible and triples his power. The biggest catch - HE WINS. Yes folks, Bowser defeats Mario. The story is a delight to follow, with inventive Characters and the good sides of Characters such as Koopas and Goombas who were all previously believed to be evil Bowser-following monsters. With all of its wonderful touches and with a LOT of Items required to complete the game 100%, this is a masterpiece. Even once...
