Let's Play: Paper Mario
About The Game
Paper Mario is the spiritual sequel to Super Mario RPG. It was developed by Intelligent Systems under the watchful eye of Nintendo. Paper Mario takes the standard Mario Plot and plays with it a little. Bowser wins early on, and Peach uses her time being kidnapped to help Mario with advice. The battle system uses low numbers, and encourages anti-grinding. With badges taking over both special attacks and equipment it is a unique game. It's a charming little RPG that will make you want to dig a little deeper into the world of Mario.Characters

Goombario
Goombario is a Goomba~ He is also a infoholic that sometimes enjoys playing with the fourth wall. He's not that great as a battle party member (outside of one stone smashing strategy) but for world building flavor text (if you're into that sort of thing) he's the champ.
Random Fact: In the french translation they took a few liberties with his dialog, making him a bit more rude.
Kooper

Parakarry
