almost tops the frist one

a awsom game and great sequel it lived up to its name as one of the top 3 mario game seres, in my mind and if u like mario games u should get this game alos because its one of the best games on GameCube it has adventur, story evry thing u could want in a mario game and more because it is know as a great RPG

Probably the Best RPG for the Cube

I first played this at my friend's house in Calif., and this game rocked my face right off! I loved this game so much, I wanted it for Christmas more than 2 years after its release. I'm actually starting to track down the original N64 Paper Mario. I think I'll have fun with that game, too.

Great Mario RPG

The sequel to the N64 hit, this one improves just about anything the first one did. The battle system remains untouched from the N64 version but it has gotten a little upgrades to it. The crowd during the fights is important. Impress them and you'll get star power to pull off impressive moves. If you dont entertain them, they will leave and you wont have anything to give you star power. The audience during the fights can throw helpful and harmful stuff at you. When exploring during the overworld, there are platforms that require you to transform into a specific paper thing ex. transforming into a paper airplane in the airplane platform. There are more powers that you can find. Overall its pretty lengthy and is hillarious. This one isnt expensive at all so give it a try.

RPG, with a twist of Mario!

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year door is a great game. It has a great Mario story, but a little different than usual. They graphics are enchanting, as well as the places that Mario must adventure to. The paper aspect makes the graphics not the best, though. But what really shines here is the gameplay. Battles are RPG style, with Mario and his 'teammate' picking from special and regular attacks to fight enemies. But with additions like button-timing attack increasers, audience reactions, and unique attack management, Paper Mario becomes an original experience. Also, paper mechanics when traversing the world adds to the fun, Like with many games, I have this one complaint. It is too short. Mario games and RPGs should be lengthy, so a short combination is dissapointing. Don't let this deter you, though. The Thousand Year door is a throughly wonderful gaming experience.

Who would've imagined, another Paper Mario

Mario is in everything nowadays and this time he has made a return in paper form. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the third RPG in the mario series has mario teaming up with a host of new characters, like Koops, Goombella, Vivian, and many more. each of them have their own special abilities to help mario in his quest to find the treasure and save the princess. The graphics are creatively well done, and gameplay is bound to give you endless hours of fun. The only thin negative about this game would have to be that only two characters are allowed on the field at one time, when traditionally in a RPG there is usually 3 or more.
