Just a perfect game and the best mario game of all time.

as an aspiring game developer, this game is (at the very least) inspiring. its so simple, yet it very obviously has so much to offer. TTYD is an elevation of everything this game does or tries to do.

Fun, but wears on near the end. The influence of Super Mario RPG can definitely be felt in the game's DNA, but it is nowhere near as engaging or complex as its predecessor. The Squaresoft touch was sorely missed.

Remake this with modern TTYD mechanics and it'll clear TTYD.

A great start to the paper mario series. It has the puzzles that comes along with every mario game, along with solid combat and a decent story. A fair bit of comedy is spread throughout. Very good for a 2000's game.
