What's the deal?
The original Mario RPG was a no-brainer: Couple Mario, the hottest video game character at the time, with Squaresoft, the hottest RPG developer on the planet and--boom!--instant hit.
Well, Squaresoft may be out of the equation now, but Nintendo's N64 follow-up to the Super NES classic promises to be something special nonetheless. The Paper Mario team is making a concentrated effort at getting away from that tired 'N64 look' (you know, blurry, low-res 3D models) and going for the same cardboard-cutout style seen in Yoshi's Story.
Nintendo knows that its fans, when they're not drooling over the latest Pokemon product, live to play new Mario adventures. Plus we all know Nintendo would never mess up anything with Mario's name on it, right?
So why is it a must-get game?

Paper Mario is going to appeal to just about everyone, and for good reasons. It's got great, old-school RPG action, unique sprite-based graphics and, welL.it's a new Mario game. How long have you been waiting for a new cartridge starring that pudgy little plumber, anyway?
Paper Mario TTYD is the Mario RPG for the Gamecube. The plot of the game is that you’ve received a treasure map from Peach, and that she wants you to join her on the journey. Mario sets out on water to a town known as Rogueport. Rogueport is a treacherous town with infamous thieves. The treasure is behind the Thousand Year Door. The only way to open the Thousand Year Door is to collect all of the crystal stars. You obtain one in each chapter of the game.
The gameplay mechanics are executed pretty well, and the game is a lot of fun, but it has a problem which bothers people like I, and is very common among Mario games; it’s waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too easy. It’s even easier than Super Mario RPG on the SNES! But with that being said, it’s still a very enjoyable experience.
The story and plot lines are very engrossing, and the villains are also very memorable. If you can somehow get your hands on a copy of this game today, and you still have a working Gamecube or Wii, then have a blast with this game!
