Great game, got and beat it early on in my Wii life. It was just as good as TTYD if not better. The dialogue as mentioned earlier was priceless. I remember sitting in the den playing and then laughing out loud and my wife wandering what was going on.

Gotta disagree, I was REALLY hyped for this game (even more then for Mario Galaxy!), but SPM disappointed me BIG TIME. Didn't even finish it, I stopped after two thirds or so.

- the structure is much too predictable
- the text is not really funny, but there's a lot of it
- many levels are nothing but tedious
- it controls like a flash game, without that trademark Mario platforming physics

I hope they release Mario RPG on VC soon, it's still the best and funniest part. I had a lot of fun with Paper Mario 64, but TTYD already became a little tiring - I don't like it when the overall structure of a game is too obvious.

 You don't have a Wii, have no interest in a Wii, have no interest in Mario games...yet you feel compelled to come to the Nintendo forum and hop into a Mario thread. How sad.

On topic: Super Paper Mario is a fun game. I was a bit disappointed in it though. The platforming wasn't that great, but the 2D/3D switching was kinda cool. I do feel it had too much text, but nothing that breaks the game. It has some seriously funny moments and neat ideas. Personally, I hope the next Paper game goes back to being a true rpg.

In fact I have a Nintendo Wii with Wii Sports and Guitar Hero 3 with 2 guitars.

Wasn't attacking just mentioning that I loved it all around and didn't exactly know what you didn't like as far as design went.

I liked the SPM:TTYD better, but the original is very good and I am pretty sure you will enjoy it... buy it without hesitation

Not liking Mario games is the same as not liking games with explosions. "Mario Games" is just as much a genre as "Games With Explosions" is.

Try playing the game past the intro before talking crap about it.

And yes, Super Paper Mario is a wonderful purchase.  Just because it isn't as good as Thousand Year Door doesn't mean it's a bad game.  The game is just plain fun and the writing is brilliant. 

Then don't come to this topic if you really have nothing to contribute. :|

Anyways back on topic, yes SPM is worth getting. It's very fun, but my only gripe is how I sometimes find myself stuck to the point I have to use a FAQ.
