This is a game that I have played many times, and for each time I just seem to like it more. I've heard many comments from people saying that the only reason people like this game so much is for the story and for nostalgic reasons. And while the story is certainly part of that, I feel like the gameplay is very underrated, and frankly, many of the problems that I thought the game had the first times playing it were absent from this playthrough. For instance, I disliked how long it took to change from 2D to 3D, which is a major feature in the game, and used in almost every puzzle. But during this playthrough, I found that problem to be non-existent. The whole gaming experience felt seamless. What I've always loved about the Paper Mario series is the world and the environment around you. And Super Paper Mario offers what is probably the best world(s) in the entire series. Because every world you travel to feels very distinct, has a very distinct atmosphere, and I just feel so immersed in the world because of this. Another thing that really adds to this are the different items the enemies drop. Because those items are usually very thematically correct. For instance, Crazee Dayzees and Amazee Dayzees drop Dayzee Tears, which you can use to make certain recipes. But many enemies drop these appropriate items, which really drew me into the game. I also think the main mechanic of flipping from 2D to 3D was a resounding success, probably in large part because of how incredibly detailed all the environments are. If you flip to 3D anywhere in the game, you get information about the world through things you just couldn't see in 2D, which makes it feel rewarding even when you don't find anything special there. And let's not forget about the music. This game has one of my favourite soundtracks ever, an incredibly consistent collection of weird, bumping, melancholic and bouncy tunes. Few games have better soundtracks honestly. The dialogue is also one of the strongest parts of the game. This game made me chuckle so many times throughout the game that I lost count. However, the main thing that makes me love this game beyond almost every other game I've played is the story. The story of Blumiere and Timpani is so beautiful, sad and sweet that I can't help but shed a tear or two every time I get to the ending. It may be standard in some regards, especially with its portrayal of love as the dispeller of evil, but I feel like it is actually true. Love is truly a wonderful force. All these things combine to form a game that I previously considered the strongest 9/10 that I had ever played. But now that I've played through it once again and enjoyed it so immensely, I have to give it too a 10. One of the best games I've ever played!
