I miss the old Super Mario games.

But this leveling isn't like most RPG leveling, as it isn't random, and I can't even remember if you can choose what goes up.

Because RPGs have never had random leveling stats.   Oh wait...

 

 

The game mechanic is a platformer. 

The new Need for Speed game allows you to "upgrade" various stats on your driver.  There are also cut scenes.  Does that make it an RPG?  It's no more an RPG than Super Paper Mario.

People are complaining that they can't find games like Super Paper Mario and then refuse to even try it, but they also insist on knowing what the game is about based on previously released Paper Mario games (which were RPGs).
