I bought Paper Mario on the Virtual Console a couple months ago after reading the reviews. I didn't know whether I would enjoy the RPG style or not. I quickly found out after playing a couple hours through the game that it has become one of my favorite games of all time. The characters, graphics, and settings are just ridiculously charming and funny. The gameplay is even fun although it may be a bit simplistic. For ten bucks and over 20 hours or so of fun, I'd say that's a pretty great deal. I'm now looking into getting Paper Mario: and the Thousand Year door for the Gamecube which appears that it has the same great ideals that it's predecessor has. I also watched the review on Super Paper Mario for the Wii and I came away a little depressed. It looks like they totally changed the gameplay. I still think that Paper Mario is one of the most overlooked franchises in video gaming.
