the original paper mario formula hasn't even really been touched on at all. they did ONE sequel years ago, tossed the whole thing in the garbage and tried something totally different with Super, which was fun, but signified the future of the series. like, no one was sick of the RPG style, people only gushed over it. my problem with nintendo is they THINK they're innovating when they're really throwing gimmicks at the wall too early after washing their hands of a great thing that was actually unique and not ripped off or rehashed 100 times

Part of the problem is that they try to have it both-ways on the RPG thing. They want to keep a battle system but simultaneously think it's clever to remove leveling / progression. The problem is that leveling/progression intrinsically gives incentive to battle - Sticker Star in particular actively discouraged battling by making your attacks quite literally an expendable commodity that you can quite literally run out of. And for what? The battles don't actually get you anything useful. They're un-ironically a waste of time and resources.
