    Incredible game and fantastic remaster

    Revisiting this GameCube gem was a real joy for me. If you've played the original, it's essentially the same game but has been rebuilt from the ground up using the Origami King engine. The updated graphics and lighting effects surpass the original and the remastered orchestrated score sounds just as rich. The 30fps wasn't as noticeable as I thought it was going to be thankfully but some people do report the menu navigation not being as snappy and super-guards feeling a bit different. New quality of life improvements such as the partner quick-swap, the additional pipe shortcuts, and significant efforts to mitigate the tiresome backtracking in areas such as Twilight Town and Keelhaul Key are hugely appreciated. If you're thinking of picking this up for a first-time playthrough as well, I highly recommend. The game absolutely holds up nostalgia aside.

    Best paper Mario

    Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Buying Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door at a discount is an easy recommendation. The witty writing, memorable characters, and refined turn-based combat still shine today. With its long playtime and replay value, the lower price greatly enhances an already beloved and high-quality RPG experience.

Join Mario on an epic paper-adventure to collect the Crystal Stars before the X-Nauts do! The nefarious X-Nauts are after the treasure behind the Thousand-Year Door! With a map from Princess Peach, and the help of a few locals, Mario journeys through a colorful world made of paper to find them first. To prevail in this quest, you’ll have to level up Mario and his friends, master timing-based attacks and badges to impress the audience on the stage of combat, and make use of all the abilities that come with being cursed—er, conveniently made of paper—like folding into a plane to cross big gaps or turning sideways to slip through narrow openings. Leaf through a storybook world with charming characters in every fold. Surprises abound in this deep and engaging tale, where everyone’s got something to say and it’s often not what you’d expect. Mario will meet all kinds of interesting folks on his journey, like the upbeat and studious Goombella and the shy but determined Koops. Some of these characters will need your help with their own quests, or even join your party. Others, like Peach and Bowser, have stories of their own that you’ll play between Mario’s chapters! A classic turns the page, bringing fresh visuals and updated features. Twenty years after the original game on the Nintendo GameCube system, this version for the Nintendo Switch system has revamped graphics, and a suite of additional changes that make the game easier than ever to enjoy.

Set sail on an island-hopping adventure starring Mario and Luigi. The brothers return for a brand-new adventure on the high seas! A mysterious power has fractured the world of Concordia into many scattered islands, and it’s up to Mario and Luigi to reconnect them. Venture out on Shipshape Island (part ship, part island) and launch out of its cannon to visit, explore, and quest your way through islands that range from tropical rainforests to bustling cities. Meet new friends along the way, like Connie and Snoutlet (definitely not a pig), and encounter familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom like Peach and Bowser, who may help—or hinder—you on your journey. Make choices about the order you visit islands in, and your approach to the challenges you’ll face, as you chart your path through the story! Rely on Mario and Luigi’s brotherly bond and abilities to succeed. Unleash the mighty power of Mario and Luigi’s brotherly bond to overcome adversity and thwart foes! Use Bros. Moves to bypass obstacles while you explore by turning into a ball or UFO, or even throwing fire and ice balls to melt or freeze something in your way. Take advantage of powerful Bros. Attacks like Zapperator in a dynamic twist on turn-based combat, where well-timed attacks, dodges, and counterattacks are key to defeating foes! Equip Battle Plugs for extra abilities, like guaranteed critical hits against flying targets, to get a strategic advantage on your enemies. Swap Battle Plugs whenever you want, and experiment with creative combinations to create different effects—you’ll need every edge this “brothership” gives you to save the day!

Wait until you see the tricks he comes up with to help you deal big damage in boss battles!
