Paper Mario - Nintendo 64

This is the superb sequel to Super Mario RPG, Legend of the Seven Stars. There is a twist though -- 2D characters in a 3-dimensional Mario universe. This is one of my favorite games of all time. There are many reasons for this. First, the plot. Bowser takes the Star Rod which grants wishes, and uses it to defeat Mario and capture Peach's castle by lifting it up in the air! Second, Mario has many diverse partners in this game, and all of them are excellent. You can even control a Goomba, a Koopa, and a Boo! Mario is cute as well. Third, you can read Luigi's diary which is hilarious, in my opinion. You also have interludes as Princess Peach and an adorable little Star Spirit named Twink. Some of the best scenes in the game are controlling Princess Peach! For example, in one of the Peach interludes, Peach acquires a Sneaky Parasol (a participation prize that is far superior to the one she actually wins) which allows her, with the press of a button, to turn herself into the creature next to her. This is one of my favorite moments of the game. Fourth, Bowser appears quite a bit, which is a plus, considering that he is usually a final boss. The fifth reason this game is so superlative is the side quests. Trying to find all the badges, Star Pieces, the ultimate level up, and more can keep you busy for a long time besides beating the game. There's a lot of game play in the game. The normal game will probably take you about 30 hours, and the side quests about 10. This means about 40 hours of game play, and you will want to replay it quite a bit. One more reason is that this game has great graphics. They are colorful and pretty! This is why I love Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Great Product

This is the wonderful sequel to Super Mario rpg the legend of the seven stars. That was the first Mario rpg game EVER. And this is the 2nd Mario rpg game.

World 8 Bowser's castle You beat Bowser thanks to the help of the 7 star spirits.

Cartridge had a number of fairly deep, small scratches on the back, but is otherwise in very good condition. It looks as though someone had started carving their name into it, which hadn't been disclosed. The cartridge worked, but would freeze about every 15-30 minutes during the first hour and a half or so of the game. I ended up having to repeat a lot, and zip through things to reach save blocks to manage through it. I'm about 3.5 hours in now, and while there is occasional slowdown, it seems to be functioning all right. It did arrive very quickly, so at least I didn't have to wait long for it.

A much better RPG than some of the others that have been on the Nintendo 64, *cough*THQ*cough*. Although it is written in a children's story format, it has enough extras and a good story line to keep you entertained for hours, no matter what age you may be. I realize that this was at one time going to be a sequel to Super Mario RPG and I know that a lot of ppl like to trash this game because of Nintendo decided to call it something completely different, but its best to think of it as a completely new game since a lot of new elements are introduced in this game (badges, star pieces, etc) as well as new characters. The difference between the sequel relationship of these two games and Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger, is that this game does not bother with making a connection to the previous Super Mario RPG game, since the game is called Paper Mario after all and not Super Mario RPG 2, also the game contains no previous characters from the first Mario RPG. Chrono Cross on the other hand made a half-baked attempt to connect to the previous Chrono Trigger game one third of the way thru, it probably would of been better if they would of made an entirely different game out of it, like Nintendo did in this situation.

"Paper Mario" was one of my all-time favorite games growing up. I remember playing this game so many times that I practically became an expert at it. But, I had lost my game cartridge, to my dismay. I tried searching for it everywhere I could think of, but to no avail. As a result, I just decided to purchase "Paper Mario" again. I have had the game for over a month, and I have been able to play it with absolutely no problems at all. The game cartridge itself is in exactly the same condition described on here, and most importantly, the memory feature within the cartridge works just fine. As for the game itself, everything looks exactly as how I remember it. The graphics and the sound are intact, the dialogue spoken throughout the game can be read perfectly well, and the battle sequences (best part of this game, in my opinion) function properly. Any fan of Mario should play this game.

Exactly as described (minor scuffs on cartridge). Came earlier than expected which was pleasant surprise. Very thankful for nostalgia.

Un must have pour tous les fans de rétro gaming et de Mario! J'ai vraiment été conquise par la série des Paper Mario et celui-ci ne fait pas exception.

I bought this game for my sister's birthday. We used to play it when we were younger so it's a nice bit of nostalgia. Shipping was quick and the game works perfectly.
