You guys couldn't emagine how excited I was to play this one when I first bought it. Paper Mario games have always been great. ALWAYS! To tell you the truth, Super Paper Mario let me down. It could be the fact that it isn't an RPG, but I dont think so. It just... isn't as good as the other two before it. Here's why. Right when the game starts you feel right at home. It enters with Mario and Luigi sittin at home havin nothing to do, until Toad shows up. Basically, Peach has been kidnapped. After that, the game goes crazy, and you have to go to another world to save 3 friends and prevent a holocaust *hope I spelled that right*. To do this you have to stop some evil dude named Count Blech, all while trying to find your 3 friends.

This is where gameplay jumps in. Basically it's a platformer with RPG elements. The cool thing is that you can change your view from 2d to 3d anytime you like! Sounds like it wont work, and wont be any fun at all, but it works! The game can get a little repetetive, but the creators threw in crazy bosses, and a whole cast of funny characters to keep things interesting. Not only that, but each place you go to is totally different.

All in all, this game is brilliant. Although the game can get boring at times. There's enough content packed in here to make it a worthy game to anyones collection. Also, remember to read the comments that are on all the cards, some are pretty funny =).

Things You Should Know
When you go to flopside, go to the same place that the arcade is located in flipside. You'll find a card that unlocks a new game in the arcade. Also, at the bottom of flipside or flopside, if you look hard enough, you'll find the guy who can make a pipe from the top of Flipside/Flopside to the bottom of Flipside/Flopside.
Final Score
9/10
Why a 9/10?
Super Paper Mario was a great game, dont get me wrong. But it's not good enough for a 10/10. The main reason is because it didn't keep me interested throughout the entire game. While hit has everything going for it, with great comedy, an awesome soundtrack, and great graphics *well, not great, but not bad either*. Super Paper Mario has the feeling like it's missing something. Still, it is a great game.
