I see it as two lines of games:
Paper Mario on the consoles
Mario and Luigi on the handhelds
both lines are decedents of Super Mario RPG

After playing SPM for about an hour and a half, I stand by wanting more games like this.  It's very creative.

A thousand apologies.

And I don't consider the Paper Mario or Mario and Luigi as sequels to Super Mario RPG or to each other. They're all kind of separate series.

Damn this game to hell for not giving the flipping ability to Bowser.

Bowser's dialogue is absolutely hilarious. I would gladly play as him all the time if I could but it requires frequent shifting to Mario to go into 3D.

Dammit...

That's because the 4D engine doesn't work well on the Wii. Only the PS3 has the power to handle it! Sony said so themselves.

Well I finished the game last night (Took me about 16 hrs), and what a ride. The game is definately something special, even with some of its flaws.

I hope Nintendo starts including extra difficulty levels in their games.  I didn't grind at all, and  beat the last  boss in four hits, though I did complete the 299 trials the game offers before you finish.

I agree to an extent, but the challenge is made available, and I tried to avoid killing as many enemies as possible most of the time.  Anyways, I still wish they had more difficulty settings.  That is probably what I felt was missing from the game.  I never had any trouble with bosses, even though they had difficult boss patterns, the bosses didn't do nearly enough damage, nor could they take enough.

Did anyone else notice that Bowser + Carrie = God mode? Seriously, Bowser's only real limiting factors are his sluggishness and the fact that he can only breathe fire on the ground, but when you use Carrie, he becomes much faster and he can then breathe fire while jumping and just becomes an unstoppable force of destruction. The second time I fought Mimi looked like it might be difficult, but I have no idea because as soon as the chance presented itself, I leapt in the air and baked the bitch and her projectiles before she even had a chance to attack.

Also, for those who don't know, Bowser's dialogue is, by far, some of the best I've seen in a videogame, ever. Tippi says, "Looks like they went into that pipe." and Bowser replies, "What am I, blind? Shut UP." Too perfect...

Yeah, I realized that in the very last chapter of the game...But I wanted to spend my first playthrough playing as much with solely Mario as the game would let me...I'm looking forward to seeing the extra dialogue next time through... =D

That's the way I'd recommend doing it.

I just wish they gave Bowser/Peach the flip ability so you wouldn't need to constantly switch characters AND pixls.

Also, I think they should have mapped a button for pixl switching, like the B-button, maybe hold down B then tap up or down on the D-pad to cycle through them.

If this is true, then SPM may feature the best interpretation of Bowser yet! Probably even better than Mario RPG!

Yeah, many have claim that this is perhaps the best localization of a Nintendo game yet.

They needed a bonus Pixl that you could map two Pixl functions to, using the controller's 'b' button.

I just started When Geeks Attack and it is Hi-Technicaaaaaal!  Wish I had more time to play...so far, I'm liking this game a ridiculous amount...probably even more than Twighlight Princess.

I love this game so much.

Another Pixl that can equate to god mode is Flip.  You can stun any enemy and have enough time to kill them.  I hadn't tried the Bowser Trick though.  

I personally love this game...and although it is easy, there is tons of stuff to collect and technique to learn.  The pit of 100 trials is also difficult.  Or it can be without enough health.  

Couchmonkey:  I think I liked this game more the Twilight Princess as well.  It just brings a happy smile on your face while you play it.  

I am over 20 hours in the game...and I am curious to see much more game I actually have.

This game is just amazing.. I am also enjoying it moreso than Zelda. But then again, I'm a Mario platformer whore.

My copy of SPM just arrived today!!!!!!!!!
Now I know what tonight is gonna be made of.

edit: I played for a good hour and a half and I love it!!
Weird thing though: my Wii performed a quick system update when I inserted the game. It wasn't loading (i.e. the game channel didn't display the name of the game) then when I clicked on it, it said "performing quick system update" (or something like that) then shut down.
After all that, my Wii recognized the game and I was able to play it. Very very odd. (and I have the 2.2U firmware version)

Everyone give evil eyes to Artimus for starting a new topic in January when a perfectly fine one already existed.

Everyone give evil eyes to the mods for not catching it, resulting in this debacle.

This game would have been much better if it had actually been a platformer which actual platforming obstacles.

Then it wouldn't be Paper Mario would it?
