I just beat Mario RPG again and finally playing Paper Jam so it got me thinking. I've beat all the other games except the last 3 Paper Mario games. Only played Sticker Star from those and got bored like half way or so.

I'm guessing most people would put the last 3 Paper Mario games and Paper Jam in the bottom 4 or so games.

I know my top 5 would have Mario RPG, TTYD and PM. Probably SS. not sure for a 5th. been awhile since I played PiT and BiS but probably 1 of those for 5th.

Havent beat Paper Mario 64 yet I would rate M&L like this:

Bowser's Inside Story > Superstar Saga > Dream Team > Paper Jam > Partners in Time.

Yeah, I know many would rate Paper Jam the last. Yeah, the enemies are just the same old NSMB ones, there are the lazy toads everywhere and koopalings and bowser as bosses. But Partners in Time was underwhelming to me in many ways. Hate how much HP the bosses have, it's annoying how linear the maps became and using 4 buttons for the gameplay was annoying (specially when one of the adult bros die you have to jump with like a + y at the same time, completely opposite buttons).

Paper Mario > TTYD > SMRPG > Superstar Saga > Dream Team > BiS

The first two Paper Marios and SMRPG are all pretty equal. I think I'd pick the original Paper Mario as my absolute favorite though. Superstar Saga isn't too far behind, but I'd say there's definitely a bit of a gap between it and Dream Team. I've played a bit of Partners in Time, but not enough to rank it.

I'm surprised how much lover PM is getting over TTYD. Thought I was more in the minority in thinking it was the best game in the series.

would definitely recommend it. it's a good game and cool to see the primitive mechanics that were used in the other games. definitely more of a traditional RPG compared to the later games. you still have an active defend but not straight up dodge.

yea that's kinda what's annoying about paper jam is the 3 buttons. makes dodging pretty hard for some attacks. PiT definitely had the same problem with 4 buttons. overall i still enjoyed the game but the babies were pretty weak and you could just body everything with the adults. but then was nice when they split them up at times so it was just the standard 2 person battles. for a first playthrough PiT was a lot of fun. but not sure how it would live up to replaying it

Please stop overrating Super Mario RPG and putting it above stuff like Paper Mario, TTyD or Superstar Saga.

Yeah, it was genius when it came out, but it was outdone by refinement of the formula.

i don't mind people putting it number 1. like i said for me i wouldn't put it number 1 but would put it top 5 for sure. it's more of a traditional style rpg than what the mario & luigi and paper mario series ended up branching off into.

I used to be hard TTYD > PM, but after replaying TTYD, that game has a lot of 'dead air' at times, like Vivian's chapter literally just has you walking back and through through the same straight line like 3 times. And the chapter after that I remember being underwhelming too. But it does have higher highs than PM, but also lower lows.

I played all of the other Mario RPGs on my list before I ever got around to SMRPG. It's not nostalgia, it's actually just that good.
