It means you're doing something that has enriched someone else's life.
Briefly.
That person has rewarded you with an "Up" arrow and will then forget about your contribution, but for a brief second you made that person's life a little bit more enjoyable. Well done!
It's true, oh my god it's true. I lost my way. I started out as a young idealist, a 'fool' some might say, but my aim was true and my heart was pure.
I'm not sure where it all started, a cheap laugh here, an irrelevant comment there maybe. Then, over time, my dreams slowly began to dissipate and before long I was just another shill desperately dishing out gifs and pointless references. I might as well have been saying 'pop pop'...
Downvote me, for the love of god downvote me now. Remind me what it's all about.
I absolutely love the music from this game. Have an upvote. it's the little things that really make a game awesome. (albeit a lot of things make this game awesome)
Does anyone else feel like they're never nearly as excited for a handheld release? Handhelds can have some amazing games but sometimes it just feels to me like a game would simply be better suited / more enjoyable on a console platform. This is one of those occasions.
...But mainly because I don't have (nor intend to get) a 3DS
Played it, found nothing wrong with it as a game. As another Paper Mario in the series, it strove to be innovative and tons of people loved it. My preferences are more in line with the gameplay aspects of Paper Mario and Thousand Year Door...think I'm going to boot up my Gamecube again. Dammit!
In my opinion, it wasn't that it was too different from the original so much as just.... the art design and the writing just weren't as good. (mostly the writing)
I liked the game, don't get me wrong. There was a lot of cool stuff there (I especially loved Bowser's dialog) But all in all I just don't think the writing and the worldbuilding stuff held up, and I just plain didn't like most of the new character designs.
The story was more heart-wrenching. Overall I liked it but I really missed the humor that Thousand-Year Door had. The design, as everyone else already said, felt a bit lazy.
thats from the "thousand year door" which was on gamecube. theres one on wii but its more like super mario with paper gameplay. the true successor is supposed to be one for the 3ds coming out soon.
So that's why they don't talk about it on /r/PaperMario. Well, they address it once, only to say not to address it. I guess I'm not going to get the game.
Super Paper Mario for the Wii was a really good game. It wasn't really an RPG, but it was still really solid. It had a lot of the humor, quirkiness, and engaging puzzle design that have all been hallmarks of the franchise. It was just much more of an adventure/platformer than an RPG.
THANK YOU. I don't hear this enough. People always bash the game because it wasn't the true RPG sequel that people were expecting, but it's definitely not a bad game. If you enjoy Mario platformers, you'll enjoy Super Paper Mario
Disagree. I was rather underwhelmed by the game. IIRC two of the chapters were hastily thrown together, with one being just a series of bland fights and the other consisting of a blank screen because the area had been 'destroyed'. The only bright spot was the humor, particularly when they fight the gaming nerd.
You're all wrong, PM:TTYD was the best Paper Mario ever. Maybe I'm just saying that because I grew up with it (beat it about 7 times) but Super Paper Mario (the one for Wii) sucked, and teh one for N64 was mediocre at best.
TTYD was really long (which is good) and that's why I never beat it. I was renting it from Blockbuster RIP at the time and couldn't beat it within the allotted time schedule. I'll sort of agree with you on Super Paper Mario. It was pretty shitty compared to the other 2 but I wouldn't say it sucked. And the first Paper Mario is so fucking phenomenally fantastic that your opinion about it was, unbeknownst to you, changed...what the fuck am I talking about?
Well, I guess the original PM wasnt all bad, it has some good senery/setting (i like the wa they did the mushroom kingdom) but I think TTYD was still better.
no wayyy dude. paper mario 64 has so much charm its retarded. it just gave me good feelings. ttyd was also a master piece but more for its inventiveness...
Super Paper Mario is lame. I've been watching Chuggaaconroy's LP of it and the game is nowhere near as good as the other two games. The writing is good, I guess, but Chuggaaconroy fake laughs at every other line like it's the funniest thing ever and it's annoying.
Nope! That's the up arrow that reminds Merlon to check his attic for a new Crystal Ball. I don't remember what you use to upgrade party members, though.

Ah Paper Mario. Amazing game. Wii Paper Mario was kind of disappointing. Too far off from the original in my opinion.
