this is the first paper mario I played, and I was so impressed! you can teach your partners new moves, you can level up and all of that stuff. the turn based mode is really great, and in my opinion. Better than any other super mario game. that is why I am not really impressed by super paper mario: it's turn not based
Even after completing the game. There might be some more stuff to do. you can fold into a paper boat. you can roll over to a tube. And reach previously unreachable places
the thing at paper mario: the thousand year door is:when you want t attack an enemy: you must click you control stick to the left, so mario can charge up his hammer, release at the right moment. And mario inflicts extra damage.
Badges are also very cool. this way, everyone has it's own strenghts and weaknesses. the onl bad thing are the badge points. I think you get to less badge points when leveling up. there are power and defensive badges. Like power up, defense up partner, bad thing is, those badges cost so many points, you need to level up TWICE to activate one of these bedges.
You have also got offensive badges, like power smash. For 1 badge point you can choose this particular attack. but then you also have to pay flower points. Bottom line: level up a lot!
like I said. paper mario is my first paper mario game, and if they don't put this system back, it would be my last paper mario.
