Truly a timeless classic. If Super Mario RPG and Paper showed people that Mario games can have gripping stories and emotion, Thousand-Year Door outdoes both of those games by miles and gives us one of the weirdest, most unique, and most heartfelt Mario game yet. Everything from the improved battle system to the fun characters and villains to the creative locations is just dripping with charm and there's really no other game quite like it. I legit got invested to the point where this game felt like a really good anime. It's awesome.
