Take the original and make it a bit more F2P-forgiving and add more content.

Beating up Kirby bosses but there's microtransactions. It's fine, but just play Super Kirby Clash instead lol.

I was addicted to this back in 2012. It doesn't have as much content as the other MvDK games, but it's one of the more unique ones cuz it's mechanics are more of a mix between March of the Minis and Mini Land Mayhem.

The odd duck of the Mario vs. DK sequels.

The game gets much tougher in World 3 but that's what separates the childen from the adults.

It was fun, though it felt like more like a Mini Land Mayhem expansion a lot of the time.

The animal friends are a fun addition to spice things up, and it can get deceptively tough at times.

Mario Maker with more Mario and more making. Most online levels are poop but that's what you get when you give little Timmy Super Mario Maker 2 for his birthday.

Peak fangame.

Maybe if the NSMB games were more like this, 70% of the 2010s Mario games wouldn't be soulless.

Undoubtedly the best of the modern Paper Mario trilogy. While the battle system isn't perfect, it's still leagues above the SS/CS system, and it retains Color Splash's improvements to the world/writing compared to Sticker Star. Also beating up living office supplies is hilarious.

Either a sidegrade or upgrade to Adventure depending on if you look at it as the original or 3D classics version. The game's art style is actual sex, and the remixed music is nice too (though I slightly prefer the 8 bit versions). The gameplay's not changed too much from the original so you could go either way here.

I worshipped the multiplayer here as a young 'un.

The gameplay is definitely the best of the GBA trilogy by a fair margin due to unit variety, actual map design, and some actual difficulty, though there's definitely some annoyances like funny accuracy and most gaiden chapters being a complete pain.

It's definitely a bit obsolete due to SSU's excellence but it's still fun. The sound effects for hitting bosses are the true superior aspect though.
