I think it best
that I come out swinging for this review. Super Paper Mario has a lot of
interesting ideas but fails to properly execute any of them. Unlike its
predecessor, it is woefully dated graphically. Combine that with boring level
design, a penchant for padding and a tonally inconsistent plot and you have one
of the most middling games in the entire Mario series. Perhaps the most disappointing
game in Intelligent Systems’ entire catalog, there is no reason to play Super
Paper Mario when there are hundreds of better platformers out there.
