Summary

Why does it seem like just because sqaure made a game means it's good?

The Good

This game starts out good with familiar characters like Mario, Bowser, Princess Toadstool, and Toad, but pretty much everything else stinks.

The Bad

The game’s opening scene is overblown with a fight with Bowser as you’re falling from a chandelier why is it that squaresoft loves things in games where people still fight even though they are in immense peril.

The game’s party members are stupid the only familiar character who joins is Bowser, Luigi doesn’t even appear whatsoever and one of Bowser’s moves belief it or not is to throw Mario corny, yes.

The humor which is very funny in good Mario RPG’s like Paper Mario and Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door (Fear My Accounting!) and Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga (I have Fury!) there is barely any cause square takes things too damn serious!

The Bottom Line

All and all if you want a Mario RPG play Paper Mario for the N64 or Mario and Luigi for the GBA or Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door for the GC.
