I played the original back in the day, and it's lovely to play it again on a modern platform with a fresh coat of paint. It was highly innovative and influential when it was released, and it is still a joy to play today: you can clearly see how it laid all the foundations for sagas like Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi to triumph. Funny dialog, a killer pace, and an absolute masterpiece of a soundtrack. Hope this title motivates Nintendo and Square Enix to make a proper sequel of it. Also, the post-game content was a lovely addition.
