One of the best Mario games

Screw a summary. I'm just going to get straight to the review. Gameplay: The gameplay is great. It starts out with Peach inviting Mario to a party. Bowser crashes it, and you have to fight him, and lose after the first couple of attacks you do to him. From there, you have to rescue 7 star spirits. It has a fun turn-based battle system, and there's plenty of fun places to explore, and plenty of fun stuff to do in this game. And that's not including the fun sidequests it has as well. And you'll also play as Peach at the end of each chapter, which includes stuff like sneaking out, and having to do....various different stuff to get info on the location of the next star spirit. These parts are also pretty fun, and are nice break from the regular gameplay. Story: Mainly just Bowser kidnaps Peach, with a slight plot twist. While this plot has been used many times, it still gets a good score from me, cause it just still seems to remain interesting, despite being used so much. Graphics: Pretty good 2-d graphics. They're slightly kiddy, and could be a little better, but for the most part, they're good. Sound: Well.....there's some cool music, and some cool sounds such as entering a warp pipe, and some cool sounds in battles, and stuff like that. It could've used a little more variety, but it's still good. Final word: This is a terrific game, and the flaws it has are very minor. If you like Mario games and/or rpgs, you'll almost certainly love this.
