the game with the better Bowser and Peach wedding.

the fact that I go by the screenname "Tippi" should tell you how much this game means to me. Super Paper Mario is such an interesting game to me in the way almost no other game is. a lot of people will harp on this game for abandoning the RPG combat that both of its predecessors is known for, and while I will admit it's not my favorite, I don't really think the platforming is as bad as people make it out to be. being able to switch between party members to solve puzzles is really interesting - I just wish the puzzles were a bit harder

the game is admittedly bizarre - this is the game that will have you run on a literal hamster wheel to try to gain currency and has a surprisingly biting criticism of entitled nerds that still rings true over 10 years later. the change in play style is an... interesting choice. this game isn't everyone's cup of tea, and that's generally fine. but these weird, strange decisions we had never seen in a Mario game before or since has made me come back to this game again and again
