Mario RPG's

[JrDude]

I liked the Bowser levels in PM: TTYD, though they were pointless and short, they were fun and funny <3

[Thirdkoopa]

...but those levels weren't all that great. They lasted 5 minutes at the most and were composed of you just blasting your way through with firebreath.

I agree but hey; That's how they got the original idea to even come up with SPM last I remember from an interview. I would like more of those in a Paper Mario 3 (True one); Maybe with a bit more point but it made the missions feel less forced and a more enjoyable break to the end of each chapter.

The RPGness of Paper Mario is why people love the series.

Agreed and partly disagreed. If It was just a generic J/RPG It'd probably be much less "Loved" But there's so many things about it; Small but big that make it all compose together.

Yes I did play them. And I know that SPM is not a RPG. That made it fun.

While you may like it more just due to not being a Mario RPG most (If not all) of the mario regular platformers are superior.

You know... I still haven't gotten Super Paper Mario...
I'd really like to play it despite everyone saying it's bad compared to the rest.

Think that, instead of RPG elements taking over old Mario school style, the style takes over RPG elements. You could say is sort of a spin off, but at least it has a lot of humor.

but at least it has a lot of humor.

Which is really the only thing that kept me playing, frankly.

The humor value in it? Granted Mario RPG humor value is good most of the time but I found the humor in that lacking.

I really completed it because I was renting it and I wanted my "lol i beat all mario rpg's and everything extra" ribbon since it's my favorite series ever hands down. I still need to get all the beans and finish off the challenge node : (

Now playing SMRPG. Haven't gotten too far (just got the Star after Booster), but love it as much as ever. The VC version is surprisingly decent.

They cleaned up some of the sound glitches. I love that game.

[Thirdkoopa]

...Isn't the VC version the same asides from a few slight changes?

Whatever. Still a fantastic game. I feel like finishing it off.

Yeah all they did was fix a few of the sound bugs, like I said

[The Riddler]

Surprised I haven't replied to this. It's a month old but hell I'll bump it.

SMRPG is fantastic. My favorite Mario RPG to date.
Paper Mario and TTYD were both great, but Super Paper Mario was terrible.
Mario and Luigi was fun, I didn't finish PiT, and I never got a chance to play BiS.

Am I missing any?

[DededeCloneChris]

BIS is certainly the best Mario RPG I've ever played. The bosses had very tricky ways to trick you to defend at the wrong time, and with the optional bosses feature makes this much better. :)

[JrDude]

It's not important, but it's BIS, not Bowser's in Story.

[Shujinco2]

I've only ever played SMRPG, and a little bit of Partners in Time, so I can't really say I have much of an opinion.

I've heard Paper Mario was great though.

[Silverhawk79]

The only Mario RPG I ever finished was SMRPG. I played Paper Mario: TTYD and the 2 DS ones, but never finished 'em.
