A fantastic paper adventure that everyone should experience. New and old.

Yes. I'm been a huge fan of the paper Mario series. I love the first one on N64 to the Nintendo wii. Yes, I maybe biased after the downward spiral of sticker star and the new releases but i can say Paper Mario: The thousand year door is back with extra few pages inside the book. it is upsetting that the game is only 30FPS.

The remaster is as faithful to the original on the GameCube. The RPG battle mechanics, the companions, the story, its all here. The remaster improves everything from the locations and music and adds a few extra stuff new and old fans will enjoy. Its easier to jump to other locations without having to backtrack multiple times. You gain much more coins then you did in the original and don't lose any when you run from fights. The dialogue is slower so you cant rush the text boxes to speedrun through the game. It also includes hint boxes if you get lost and unlocks artwork from the game when you collect star pieces.

This game maybe a wake up call for Nintendo and possibly retyred to its roots for the series (If not then hopefully it gives them some new ideas for the paper Mario series.) The Thousand Year Door still holds up when it came out on the GameCube and Its still as fun as ever. I recommend it.
