What a disaster. What everyone says is true, this game was the initial cause of AlphaDream's downfall. I have no idea they made this game the way that they did, but it's terrible regardless. The combat is...relatively unchanged from Dream Team. Paper Mario has some fun to use special moves but is otherwise uninspired. The characters in this entire game are all either generic mainline Mario enemies or Toads. Aside from Paper Peach, Paper Kamek, Paper Bowser, Tower Power Pokey (if you can even count that abomination) and a cameo from Paper Luigi, absolutely no unique characters from the Paper Mario series appear. Not to mention that, the story is just another Bowser captures Peach plot. Somehow, the generic formula of NSMB leaked into this game and even destroyed the gameplay. Puzzles are boring (most of them are quite literally waves of enemies) and the only unique factors of this game, the Toad minigames and Papercraft battles, are super mediocre. Toad minigames are repeated WAY too much and the Papercraft battles, while being the best aspect of this game, control terribly and end up occurring too much to be considered a breath of fresh air. Just one of the biggest disasters the Mario series has ever had, almost if not AS big as Sticker Star's failure. If you're playing through the Mario & Luigi series for the first time, you can skip this one (or really just end with Dream Team).

dude i fucking hate this game

when i play this game my hands become high precision weapons of destruction so one time at the arcade my friend put his hand on one of the face buttons just as i was about to press it and my finger poked clean through his palm so now all my friends call him "hole hand" honestly its not that bad because now he can carry a roll of quarters in there so whenever we need to do laundry we just call up ol' hole hand and he spots us also they added hare hare yukai to this one so its good

the manual includes a coupon for cheetos but im terribly sorry to say it expired in december 1993

Big nostalgia for this game. While it doesn't have the intense speed of something like F-Zero X or the item based mayhem of Mario Kart 64, what this game does have is the vibes, man! The music and the gorgeous colorful art direction in this game are just wonderful to chill out to, and the N64 water physics making you bounce around as you race on your jet ski is still really fun! Having to maneuver yourself around the correct sides of the buoys is also a neat design choice to keep you more engaged in where you're going. I still return to this one from time to time because there's just not any other racing game like this.
