No doubt about it..... it's the best game in the Paper Mario series.....
Just kidding you all! This is, by far, the best game I've ever played!
It's awesome because it's at least 16+ hours long, got a lot of awesome boss battles, awesome abilities, such as the Paper plane function, which allows you to turn into a Paper Plane and fly through the air! Another one is the Paper Boat ability which allows you to turn into a Boat and float on the seas!
Ah, well, in other words, this game is awesome.
But I'm not finished, yet! Let's talk about the plot, which this game has, opposite of failed miserably, on.
It's all about Mario receives a letter from Princess Peach (for the millionth time, now :P) and this time about a legendary treasure she heard about. She wants Mario to come to the town of Rogueport to find the treasure..... but when he arrives, he sees a Goomba named Goombella and a bunch of X-Nauts, with Lord Crump. After the fight with Lord Crump, Mario and Goombella walks up to the
Rogueport square, where they meet Toadsworth. But then...... the princess was kidnapped......, as usual........
But whatever, Mario and Goombella meets Professor Frankly, which was (I think) Goombella's teacher, like a year back.
During the adventure, Mario collects Crystal Stars, to open the Legendary Thousand-Year Door. (hence the game's title) Mario travels to different places, such as Petal Meadows, Boggly Woods, Glitzville (My favorite video game place of all time ;)), Twilight Town, Keelhaul Key, Poshley Heights and The Moon, and each of them has a Crystal Star, somewhere.
Now, let's talk about gameplay....
Like its predecessor, Paper Mario, you have the same battle system....
except that you're now on a scene, instead of a plain Paper spot.
You can also use Badges, like the other game, too! But whatever, there ARE flaws in some parts of the game, such as horrendous moments of backtracking and stuff.... but I can live with that. After all, it does not affect me anymore on this game. :D Other flaws can be some enemies being difficult to avoid. Can be bugging, but this game's still awesome.
One VERY difficult thing about the game, is the Pit of 100 Trials, where you go down 100 levels. The level seems kinda easy in the beginning, but don't let that catch you off-guard, because near the end, YOU.....WILL......BE.....DOOMED with ultra-strong enemies, such as the Elite Wizzerds, Poison Puffs and the Amazy Dayzees! NO, not Amazy Dayzees!
The Amazy Dayzees're hard! 20HP and they do 20 Damage each to you if they attack! :(
But then, when you get down to the 100th floor, you will meet a difficult boss called Bonetail. He has 200 HP, an Attack of 8 and Defense of 2. Hard as heck.............
Bottom line, amazing gameplay, story, abilities, partners, challenges, etc.
Score: 10/10
Rank: Prime
My right-now favorite game of all time! :D :)
