they absolutely perfected my favorite game it still doesnt feel real. i absolutely loved the return of the classic gameplay combined with modern paper marios graphics and sound design (battle theme variations, final dungeon music continuing through battle) and really enjoyed all the additional content. personally i never had issues with the original games backtracking not to mention it was mostly skippable with glitches but im happy about how they handled it now in the remake.

i have some small issues with it tho like how you cant really mash through text which id appreciate on replays and also how youcant scroll text boxes back up to read text you missed but they arent that huge of a deal to me at least sooo overall this is a 10/10 remake of a 10/10 game in my book i couldnt be happier
