Having played very little of the original SMRPG, I was pretty excited to see this remaster coming out. $60 is maybe a bit high if you're one of those people who thinks that price should reflect the time you spend playing, but shut up dude nobody cares. It's a really pretty game with a lot of charm, and I think the new look and music are pretty worth it. Gameplay-wise it's very baba binky. The entire final boss was spent doing like 3 things on repeat for me, which wasn't the most engaging. Definitely had some other bosses or even random enemies that I found required more actual thought, so that was a little disappointing. Definitely a super easy game that took like 6-7 hours for me to finish, although I didn't do some of the optional content because that's not really the kind of guy I am, so maybe I missed some stuff that makes this a stellar game. it's very serviceable and cute and fun and I found it very interesting to see the evolution of this game into Paper Mario's 1 & 2.
