  • paper mario was first on the 64

  • 5:18 Petuni, Lady Bow, and Bootler :D I love how Lady Bow has appeared in all three of these paper mario games :D

  • 444 comments! Epic. Except now there are 445.

  • The only things i don't like about this one is I hate Chapter 3-3 except for the boss of it, not sure when to flip from 2D to 3D and I would've like voice acting for the major characters of the game

  • My only complaint for this paper mario was the attack system, I wanted turn based attack.

  • This started on n64, not gamecube....

  • @tysonwilliam321 The series started on N64, but this specific game was originally supposed to be a gamecube game.

  • The first 2 were great rpgs and this is a great platformer.

  • I loved the sidescrolling part but hated the 3D shit, I also hated how easy it was

  • I thought this was a great game. I don't see the problem

    -2D environments. Easy to navigate and makes backtracking less tedious.

    -Going 2D to 3D. I thought that was cool.

    -Real Time battles. Even better! I can't stand turn based battles. They slow things down and are downright annoying.

    -Constantly flipping between characters in the pause menu. Okay, that's annoying. Like that never happened in the 64 or GC games.

    -Wordy as hell. Yes much like it's past games.

  • @ECL28E

    People are just comparing it to the first two, and they clearly loved the battle system and got mad when it was changed here. It is a great game but disappointing for people who didn't like the change in style. I thought this game was good but would rather turn base battles for the paper mario series.

  • @poefred999 Yeah i agree. I loved the turn-based battle system. Real-time battle system is great for any other mario game, but it just doesn't feel right for paper mario.

  • Fake and gay.

  • So for the reviewer this game is sooo boring he cna barely speak??? My god !!!!

  • What about luigi?

  • Super Paper Mario sucks.

    The first 2 Paper Mario games ruled!

    If you're a Paper Mario fan at all, You know that this isn't even a Paper Mario game. It's a disappointment with an unworthy title, 'Paper Mario'.

  • @CrazyJ114 Your comment is bad and you should feel bad.

    Super Paper Mario was perfectly on par with the other two games. In fact, it was significantly better than the other two in terms of music and story.

  • @PaperMario15

    You're an idiot.

  • @CrazyJ114

    Nah,you are because you had no reason to call him an idiot.Thats your ONLY comeback to him.3 words.

  • @PokemonFanRoblox

    If you've ever played Paper Mario 64 or Thousand year door, you'd know why I called him an idiot.

    The first 2 have badges to collect, Things to do aside from the normal adventure, Going into battle rather than "Hehehe, Jump on him 2 make him died". The first one was AMAZING with its story, The 2nd one was a great sequel. The 3rd one isn't even a paper mario game.

    I'll admit it's decent if you're judging it as a Super Mario game, but as a paper mario game? LOLNO!

  • Mario as an over used character? In a Mario game? WTF 6:20

  • ttyd>original>>>>>>>>>>This

  • meh thousand year door looks better.

  • hes wrong. this isnt a port.

  • yeah, there was just something about super paper mario i didnt like, still a good game but the first two were still better. and the new one coming out for the 3DS will be going back to the original 2 paper mario's gameplay and with the 3D mixed with the graphics im i hope it will be good too.

  • This game struggled to find its identity and rather than draw in the platformer and rpg fans, it settles itself in an awkward medium which is ultimately dissapointing. This game had alot of potential, but they made the mistake of misleading everyone by putting the "Paper" in the title. The Mario series has many great platformers like the "Super Mario Advance" series, the problem however is this game was a sequel to a PAPER Mario game not a platformer. Super Mario Bros. did a much better job.

  • @Hans1994yout You can't say a game is bad just because of its genre. I liked this game better than the original paper Mario, and the genre is more of a mix between platformer and RPG than just a platformer. Also, who said if the sequel of a game is not in the same genre it is a bad game. I always hate it when people say that something about a game is bad without a good reason. All those reasons in your comment were bad in my opinion. (Except the part where you said the title was misleading)

  • @superunsubscriber I'm just saying give the Paper Mario fans what they want because we already have alot of platformers. Overall you'd have to agree that most of the Paper Mario fans were disapointed because the story was not as good as the original and TTYD. Also the removal of the turn based battles and action commands made the game too easy. I am open minded to change in gameplay but not absolute alteration. You should watch Wiiviewers review, I think he hit the nail on the head.

  • @Hans1994yout Well you have a good point, but the story in my opinion was way better than the other two and maybe even the best in any mario game.

  • @superunsubscriber It's intersesting to hear other's opinions; do you mind me asking what specifically you liked more about SPM than TTYD?

  • @Hans1994yout Well first of all the story I think was better, but I don't want to explain why since it will take forever to do so and second is that you can beat an enemy way faster since you don't have to go into a battle scene every time you walk into a enemy. I think it is much more fun that way because there is still a bit of the RPG element because you level up and have hit points or health points or whatever you want to call it, but an enemy doesn't take forever to beat. SorryForLateReply

  • @Hans1994yout I couldn't fit everything on the other comment so I'll continue here. Also I didn't play TTYD that much because I only played it at my friend's house. I did watch a playthrough of it and it looked really fun. My only problem with it is that there was too much backtracking in this one part.

  • @superunsubscriber It's still a great game, you should do yourself a favor and play it.

  • Comment removed

  • "I didn't like it that much for a huge list of things I found wrong with it, but since it's mario, he gets a high score." Well Ign, I think someone's getting paid.

  • the gamecube and the n64 ones were a trillion times better than this one 'cause the gameplay is mostly in 2D

  • @devansh287 I havent got the thousand year door, do you think i should get it, it does look very good

  • @devansh287 So pretty much you're saying this game sucks because it's different.

    Okay I love the Paper Mario series but it has one of the most idiotic fanbases in the entire video game industry.

  • I thought the original paper Mario was on the N64, then they put it on the Gamecube

    and lastly the Wii.

  • @21blueboy21 and on the 3DS

  • At 5:17, there's a poster in the background with a picture of petuni. EASTER EGG! Oh and personally, I found this game repetitive. Surprisingly, fiting the same kinda enemies all the time in the last game didn't seem quite as repetitive as this. And at some times, the levels seem kinda... boring. Well, anyway, I don't NOT like it, but it was ok...

  • I still preferred Paper Mario, and Paper Mario 1000 Year Door ;p

  • they forgot the whole point in PAPER mario. its paper characters with paper atributes. not pixel, paper. too much pixel kind of things in this game. i think a clever kind of theme wouldve been maybe a paper and pencil story line. you know maybe like collecting some kind of objects involving drawing on PAPER. because pixels really dont have anything to do with paper.

  • @gaaragirlgo98 super* paper mario

  • @ZeSharkz well still i understand its super paper mario but i loved the paper like qualities :)

  • @gaaragirlgo98 then go play the paper mario one, super paper mario is focused more on RPG and the original mario style with an effect similar to paper mario

  • i liked the origal better it actualy felt like paper this has like none!

  • "Overused characters- Mario" Well the title is Super Paper MARIO...

    You think Yoshi would be the main character?

  • @AxeOfFlame I think he means the 8-bit Marios

    Paper Yoshi!

    NintendoCaprisun would be SO HAPPY!

  • @john2114505 lololololol that would be awesome! :)

  • I blame the first Paper Mario for my literary skills.

  • The first is the best because of the story and because it all takes place in the mushroom kingdom. you don't start out in a town where gangs are with treasure underneath it or a different dimension with people who look like a computers crap

  • I personally don't mind the story its very good and also u ppl should read i mean u shouldn't just sit and video games all day. Another thing ith called Super paper MARIO thats why he is used the much God ppl put 2 and 2 together already srry if this is mean but really its a good game and those things aren't bad in my opinion.

  • i have one problem with this game: It's NOT a Paper Mario game. Paper Mario is a full-on RPG, Super Paper Mario is a platformer with some RPG elements.

  • i love this game specially got the story

  • i have never played the other paper marios´ , are they good? i played this one and liked it, will i like the others ???

  • @krishoshi Yes, yes you will.

  • @R2BDSi very long

  • nope, this one is shit, i loved the first 2 so i bought this one....bad choice

  • Does this contunie anything from the other paper marios that kicked ass?!

  • Lol shroom shakes Should Be Shroom Tea

  • I am Error

    Error 404 little hamsters hamsters cannot be found

  • Comment removed

  • SOOO EXCITED FOR PAPER MARIO 3DS

  • @RockNRoller294 comes out 8/2 so yaaaa im kinda pissed.... but cant wait

  • To all the fanboys who are bitching on about how it ruined the series, I'd point out that there are two other very good titles in the series, with another one comming soon!! Stop bitching!!!!

  • @SuperDoctorNick Isn't it coming to the 3DS? I feel like it should be an "RPG" on a console. I would rather not play paper mario on a handheld.

  • so can you be in a town like you could in the first paper mario game? those towns and villages were so fun to explore and it was fun talking to those who lived there ;D

  • I borrowed this game so I shouldn't be complaining about how I was so surprised that this wasn't like the others in the paper series... I guess I just didn't like the surprise. Would've been more pissed if I bought this game.

  • i liked the way you played the thousand year door but who am i to judge? i havent played super paper mario yet

  • Ok for the people saying this game was differrent then worry not, they are going back to the RPG battles in the next one

  • Paper Mario is so cuuuute! I want to kiss his nose!

  • This guy talks pretty softly at times, don't you think?

  • I liked Thousand year door the best to tell the truth

  • loved this game i miss my wii

  • I'm sorry but this guy has got to be the dullest and most boring sounding game reviewer ever. He repeats himself too much about the gripes and gets too wordy as he would put it and shows no spirit at all. His reviews nearly put me to sleep. He sounds like a guy who doesn't like his job.

  • Paper Mario 1 - I got it for my b-day as a kid and I loved it!

    Paper Mario TTYD - I saw it on a commercial and got extremely hyped about it and I loved it a lot!

    Super Paper Mario - Meh.

  • @dallasdollars7 well said

  • i liked the thousand year door alot and the first one which i recently beat is this one worth getting

  • @murky223 It is very different from the two previous games. I bought it but i didnt feel that i would 100% it like i did with the others

  • @TheKawaiiXatu I'd have to say that this is my least favorite Paper Mario title. It's not a bad game,but I just didn't enjoy it as much. Also,some of the enemies looked like they were drawn at the last second. Don't get me wrong,simplicity is great,but it doesn't look appealing for most of the time. There are moments in the game I absolutely loved,but I can't really see myself playing it again. It's been three years since I've played it.... = / Again,not a bad game.

  • This game was very beautiful and the story was brilliant but i have to say the battle system was disappointing. I really enjoyed the old battles, they were so creative and fun. Fighting in this game is quite lame. I also didn't like the pixie world or the pixie friends. They weren't as great as the old characters.

    Anyway i hope the next paper mario returns to its roots!

  • I fell in LOVE with the gamecube game - it was amazing but I don't know if I can play this because it isn't turn based and not as RPG orientated :(

  • this game ruined the paper mario series

  • luigi!!! man luigi

  • legit ass review man i like ign reviews

  • see, paper mario: thousand year door was my favorite nintendo game ever... it was witty, had clever puzzles, it varied and it was FUN. but this one... isnt a paper mario game. the point of paper mario is to be an rpg but combining it with Super mario bros is exactly what they DIDNT want to do. wasnt paper mario supposed to be DIFFERENT? by adding platforming, it isnt the same... im very disappointed. its by no means bad but its not AS good.

  • @XDArK2442X OH NO IT'S DIFFERENT

    Gaming fanbases are so idiotic it almost makes me sick. Change is a good thing, if we just keep rehashing the same games over and over again, it gets very boring. Super Paper Mario was a wonderful game all-around.

  • @PaperMario15 yea but the change was to what they were doing for decades.... as in every mario game (excluding the sports ones). i dont know about you but i likes the rpg elements and the partners... and the characters who weren't polygons. idk, change is good but when you change a major part of the game then well.... its not the same game. i also feel nintendo cheaped out abit with the characters and fast pace levels... just my opinion

  • @PaperMario15 I didn't dislike the game because it was different, I disliked it because it was a bad game. The 2D/3D manipulation was great and ingenious, but it wasn't really utilized well. I felt like the rest of the game -- the huge RPG portion -- kept getting in the way of what could have been a unique and creative platformer.

  • yeah i agree ruined the series the first and second games were the best

  • To me I don't think Peach exactly sounds like Peach; she sounds abit more-or-less boy-ish...

  • This game shows that it is time for Nintendo to start implementing voice acting in their games. After playing this game halfway through I turned it off because I felt like I was reading a book. I eventually went back and finished the game but my God there's a lot of reading.

  • ummm paper mario started on the N64

  • ok here is the thing:

    the game itself is really awesome, its just that most ppl get confused wen they here its paper mario and think they ruined the game, but then u also have to remember the super in the title that gives away that this game will be more based on the super mario series fighting style.

  • @2chainallboutrs even though its a rip off the original super mario, its a boring one indeed. I can play super mario all stars w/ mario world over and over again, but i can't really revisit this game.

  • @2chainallboutrs when I look for 'paper mario' it dosent matter if they put super, or sh** paper mario. Paper mario for the last 3 games. Was a turn based battle type game.  I don't mind this game itself, but they need to change the name. If they want to make a platformer, name it 'super mario whatever' but not after a rpg series that imo represents a nice rpg from my and everyone childhood.

  • Thumbs up if the original was the best.

  • @MrNitt The second one was also very good

  • @MrNitt Actually thought that the Thousand Year Door was better, mostly because I liked the characters more. That's just my opinion, though. :]

  • @MrNitt I disagree. The first was amazing, but I think the Paper Mario series is one of the rare series where the sequel actually matches or even surpasses the first. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door was a masterpiece.

  • @MrNitt

    preferred the second game most personally...

  • @MrNitt i liked the first but the second one to me unforgetable!!! it was soooo fun and really different from any of the other mario games! but if you ask me with super paper mario they have just blew the whole thing out of preportion!

  • @MrNitt No thousand year door is the best

  • the original was the best

  • Ruined the series IMO

  • Why give it an 8.9? Why not just a 9?

  • This game is awesome! It was one of the first wii games I've ever played and I liked it. The only thing I hate is how other people say it ruined everything or whatever just because it's DIFFERENT than the previous games.

  • @JDishCorp Because its not a paper mario game

  • @nextbikerider If Its "not" a Paper Mario game like you say, than why is it Called Super Paper Mario? Anyways, why cant u just accept the game as it is? Are u a hardheaded douche or someting?

  • @JDishCorp Its listed under a platformer and its hardly a rpg

  • @JDishCorp People always bitch and whine if anything is even remotely different from previous installments.

    Super Paper Mario is a wonderful game, but no one realizes that. It's depressing, people just want the same game over and over and over again.

  • @PaperMario15 That's exactly right!

  • This was a fun game, but I missed the turn-based fighting.

  • My favorite Paper Mario game is the 2nd one then this one then the first one.

  • 1:35 did he say that the experience is displayed in the upper-left-hand corner? No it isn't... -_-

  • It is a spin-off of the Paper mario RPGs. Stop criticizing it for not being an RPG. It has a great story and it is an awesome platformer.

  • Dear Matt @ IGN: Stop whispering!

  • you know, i read all the hate, all the backlash about how this sequal is too different and that there are apparently soo many problems with it, but you know what, i had fun playing this game. i go into games fresh, no comparisons to previous games, this game stands out in its own right, and its one of my favorite wii titles, those of you who can't get over the real-time rpg elements can hate, but at the end of the day, i liked it, and i wasn't the only one.

  • @masterbassist93 I agree. In fact, the only reason i've played it more times than the other 2 (which i own) is because of NO nearly NO turn-based battles. I hate those battles, they just slow things down for me.

  • @ECL28E Those games are RPGs with platforming elements. You can't expect the game to be fast pased.

  • @strongo25 I was a kid then, i didn't know what to expect from those games. I mean, Paper Mario? How was I to know that I'd be playing an RPG? I only played the normal Mario series and I was never introduced to turn-based battles back then. Except FF7, which I never got into.

  • When I first bought this game I hated it but now that I look back it was pretty cool actully. I wish did not sell it now.

  • 2 Ways to improve This game:

    1: 2D Only

    2: Less Dialouge

  • @wariofan279 So what you're basically saying is: "Make it like every other Mario game."

  • Oh God, the dialogue RUINED it almost. I mean, in most Mario games the plot is somewhat vague and things didn't need to make sense. Everything was simple, I it shoulda stayed that way.

  • I loved this game. Gonna get back to it soon, even though I've beat it 100% including Shadoo. Remember using a level up skill trick which made you jump continously on coconuts one of those square shaped ducks would shoot at you. The score you get doubles every time you jump on something without hitting the ground in between of course. A really cheap but effective way.

  • This game was GREAT, but it wasn't really a great PAPER MARIO. Yeah, it was still an RPG, but not the way the other 2 were. You still got EXP and leveled up, but that was it for me in the whole RPG element thing.

  • this is not paper mario even if the game is good its a shame they ruined such a possibly good sequal.

  • even though this is the weakest paper mario its still an awesome game

  • this game is by far the best game ive ever played. the story behind it is amazing and the game is just plain fun. there are some EXTREMELY confusing mazes tho. but other than that its amazing

  • this game lacks the good rpg elements that the other two paper mario games had.

  • @max094m Not only that but I don't like the atmosphere. It's all depressing pixels instead of PAPER.

  • he sead 3d mode looked "flat".....the games called super PAPER mario

  • good game, this ign reviewer sounds like hes falling asleep

  • 0:31, 3:30

    how is this a port of the older paper marios? a port is when the game is remade for another console to be almost EXACTLY THE SAME, and the slight differences are usally just enhancements. this game has different gameplay, different story and different gimmicks. yet again, IGN fail.

    but enough flaming IGN, this is a great game, but i have to say that i did enjoy the other paper marios more. if you enjoyed this game, i would highly suggest getting the original paper mario on the VC.

  • @bulby1994 Hate to say it but it's a fail on your part. He said this game was originally supposed to be for Gamecube, but it was ported over to the Wii instead. He didn't say this game is a port of The Thousand Year Door.

  • @Madchimpz

    well, he still failed by not explaining that fully.... but anyway thanks for the info!

  • @bulby1994 He made it pretty clear "super paper mario actually began it's life on gamecube but was later ported to wii, now you can only buy it on this console"

  • @Madchimpz

    but how can a game be a port if it was never actally released before? im sure that paper mario for GC wasn't completed before being moved to the wii. but if that was the case, why didn't they just do a twilight princess thing and release it on both consoles.

    what he should have said was "super paper mario was at first developed for the gamecube, but due to the wii's iminate release, production was moved to the wii."

  • @bulby1994 Being ported over is the same thing as saying moved over to..

  • @Madchimpz

    OK. wikipedia says that "Porting, the process of modifying software so as to make it compatible with other operating system and/or hardware architectures"

    ok, now i admit that this game was SOMEWHAT ported because the unfinished infomation was pased on to fit the wii's capabilitys. but some of the game was not produced for the GC, and so this part of the game was not ported and done for the wii.

    lets just say thats it is half ported and half not, OK.

  • Don't buy this game it totally sucks (sooo bad), go get The Thousand Year Door, it's a GREAT game, you'll love it.

  • i love this game, dont get me wrong, but i liked the turn based mechanics of the first two games more

  • i like the older way of battling better, but this game is fun too

  • the attacks on this game is more like when you have the first attack badge in the second game

  • no the first paper mario game was on n64

  • 4:45 lol

  • The Games are 3 years apart so this year a new game shpuild come out! and this game was sopposed to be on the gamecube so the diffrent console theory won't work!

  • this game is fun one of my fav mario games....just way too much reading like they said but other then that this game is great

  • great review!

  • always thought this game was lame so i never bothered buying it but it wass my bday and my cuzin got it for me so i decided wat the heck it cant be that bad

    and i got to say i Love This GAME i feel like the 2d to 3d thing was perfectly well thought in the game design and the pixls for fu to use too but it does suck that mario can only turn into the 3d and no one else

    i think this is one of the best mario rpg series becuase of its indivuality and great design

  • @fearme4iambry its bad compared to the other ones

  • @ilikepokemon98 It's friggin bad It's the worst wii game I've ever played

  • @GuitarT7 -- fucked me out of 50$ actually thinking it was good. It fucking sucks! The dialog kills the entire bloody game! I mean seriously who the hell did they get to write it, a fucking 5 year old? I wouldn't be so bothered if there was a function to not display any dialog cause thats mainly what kills it for me, that and the fact that only Mairo can go 3D and the annoying switching, they better not kill SMG2, nintendos gotta get its ass out of "new things" and make better games for the wii.

  • @euroknite agree and when they made the partners they were high or something

  • @euroknite you're just pissed that it's not "traditional" paper mario...if you get rid of the dialogue you get rid of the whole fucking plot, and what's paper mario without that?

  • @fearme4iambry I thought this game would be mediocre as well, but I ended up loving it, more than The Thousand-Year Door and almost as much as Paper Mario. This, along with Super Mario Bros. 2, is the most underrated Mario game of all time, and thus one of the most underrated games in general. It's hated for the stupidest of reasons. If people hate it because it's a platformer, they might as well hate the Mario series in general.

  • this game looks awesome... :D

  • who would have thought you have to use mario the most in a ma rio game

  • i had fun playing this game, and the story developed with much more complexity, and character depth, with some moments being really sad. i couldn't go to far without looking at walkthroughs online, and the game to me 3-5 days to beat overall (i'm an average gamer, and this is as close to an rpg as i have played). highly recommend, maybe not a buy, but one hell of a rental

  • oh boo i love this game and francly it ahd one of nitendo's best vikllain's eva dimentio true it could of ahd more vurity but the art was beautiful its was plesent to play the controls were eassy the music was kick-ass as always overall is was a very nice nitendo game

  • this game was dissappointing..they really should've stuck with their formula and ADDED 2d sections in the game like mario galaxy did. the original mario bros game is more fun than this later game..

  • i remember being at a freinds house, we just picked this up and played, and we got hooked.

  • Mr. L is the best!

  • Terrible game, and you forgot Luigi

  • No it's not. It wasn't that good as a sequel to the old ones, but it's great on its own. And Luigi is a pretty big plot spoiler since he doesn't appear until about 85% of the way through the game.

  • i was kind of sceptical when it wasent turn based but it was nice not to have to wait for 5 mins to kill an enemy

  • this is a pretty good game but i was kinda disapointed with the battles.

  • a dissapointing sequel to Paper Mario 64 and Paper Mario, The Thousand Year Door.

  • Comment removed

  • How so?

  • @roymaster45 i was really expected a ture sequel, with the classic rpg elements in the other games, its like link, in a basketball game, you dont think it really fits, good game, but a dissapointing sequel...

  • @tommonkey91 true, sorry

  • Sorry but this game is just SO boring!

  • If you can't read through a few lines of text every couple seconds - suck it up.

  • I'm not talking about the text.
