Mario RPG Thread

Greetings all! As many of you know, I am a hardcore Nintendo fan. That doesn’t mean I like ALL Nintendo games (and typically the ones I dislike I am even HARSHER on because I have higher standards for Nintendo games), but it does mean I am particularly obsessed with many of their games. What most of you will not know is that I am obsessed beyond belief with the Paper Mario series. It is LITERALLY my favorite video game series of all time and Thousand Year Doors is my favorite game OF ALL TIME.

This thread is going to be dedicated to any RPG Mario games. There will be polls and records of polls that have to do with the game.. I will spotlight random characters every week (a lot more manageable than daily for someone like me) that don’t get enough credit (or sub characters like Mr. L, for example). I will also have a section that deals with any LATEST information about any rpg Mario games.

Mainly, though, I want this to be a place where we (those who are fans of Mario RPG games) can come together to discuss rumors, what we’d like future games to have, characters we find interesting, screenshots of humorous dialogue sequences in the games, etc. It’s usually years between sequels (especially for the Paper Mario series), so I go crazy waiting around; I’m hoping this thread retains my sanity.

*I'm going to do polls, first, for determining the order everyone likes their Mario RPG games in. I will first ask what the best is, then the next poll will be what the #2 best game was (and it won't include the winner of the first poll) and so on until we get all of them.

Character of the week: Moustafa

"Moustafa is a mouse who lives in Dry Dry Outpost. He is a descendent of the beings who built the Dry Dry Ruins and it is his duty to see to it that no evil enters. He disguises himself as a mouse name Sheeks. He tests Mario to see if he is trustworthy and gives him the Pulse Stone in order to find and unearth the Dry Dry Ruins."

Paper Jam seems to be having some pretty good legs in Japan (now at roughly 200k in retail only, not including digital). This brings global totals up to 410,000 roughly, without any help from North America due to it not being released yet.

You can pre-download Paper Jam in North America NOW!!! WOOT!

Super Mario RPG is coming to the Wii U eshop in Europe (and most assume the rest of the west at some point soon). No longer will you have to plug in a SNES and the cords that make it work! Now, you can experience it with the glory that is "restore game" and "create restore data" so that you don't have to start battles over (yey!).

Scene of the week: This is how you "heal" in Paper Mario :)

Thousand Year Door is my fav, followed closely by Mario RPG.

Funny you made this thread, I'm currently playing through the Mario & Luigi series back to back. Just finish Bowser's Inside Story. It was really good but had a bit too many 'DS' moments where they try to use the hardware in interesting ways.

TTYD FTW!

It has Ultra Shrooms!

I've been wanting to make this thread for a long time lol. And I loved Inside Story (probably my favorite ML game). I always play the older games before sequels come out, so I'm trying to play and beat some before I get Paper Jam (just beat Super Star Saga for the first time).

Super Mario RPG is by far my favorite. I love Super Paper Mario too.

Never liked Mario & Luigi series. I don't like the humour and the gameplay is not as good as SMRPG.
