Easily one of the best games available for the N64, Paper Mario is a fantastic experience that shouldn't be missed.
If you're severely allergic to overly cute-and-cuddly games, take some Dramamine before heading off on Mario's adventure.

Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64 is my 2nd favourite game of all time, just behind it's sequel, The Thousand-Year Door. Following on from a great game, Super Mario RPG, Nintendo was tasked with making a RPG Mario game that would live up to the greatness of that game. Considering previously Mario (story-wise) was little more than an Italian plumber who spent his days chasing after an evil turtle, Paper Mario couldn't have done a greater job. It keeps the traditional Mushroom Kingdom and Bowser is still the main villain, but the world here seems so much bigger than ever. You come across a village of friendly Goombas, who aid you at the very start of the game. You find a prison cell of Bob-ombs who help you defeat the Koopa Bros. You uncover a secret temple hidden underneath a desert. The game is brimming with creativity from start to finish. Not only that, the battle system is very strategic and adding action commands was a great idea to add some skill into the mix to. If you haven't played this, what are you waiting for?

Not just my favorite Paper Mario but my favorite Game ever. I just love everything about it and for some reason just enjoy it more then ttyd (probably mostly nostalgia but i have some other reasons) If you enjoyed ttyd go ahead and give it a try. The Graphics might look a little old but i think it has its own charm. Probably wont ever be replaced as my number 1 Game ever

What it does have is a great story, fun puzzles, and epic battles. Any RPG fan would be absolutely nuts to pass on Paper Mario.
With its light-hearted plot, loveable characters, innovative gameplay and perfectly fitting music, this game should appeal to anyone and everyone.
Not only is Paper Mario a superb RPG, but it's also another quality N64 game that simply shouldn't be missed.
Despite having a unique look, the visuals certainly aren't the highlight of Paper Mario. It's the fun adventure, mixing intuitive controls and straightforward gameplay that make this a great addition to the N64 library.
The first Paper Mario and the best Mario RPG. This game made me realize that JRPG genre, which used to put me off, actually can be enjoyable and relaxing. It has a charming story with funny characters and great gameplay.

Paper Mario is a worthwhile RPG that pays tribute to a previous Mario RPG title, following a simplified formula in the next graphical dimension. It introduces a creative and amusing art blend of 2D sprites with an interactive 3D environment. Although the theme and animations seem cartoony and comical, the gameplay may provide temporary points of challenge for some newcomers to the genre. Gameplay will often test the player's ability to backtrack, recall previous dialogs and environments, and pay attention to detail to advance through the story. The repetitive battle music may be lackluster and missing some epicness, but they still maintained interest with new enemies and abilities.

This fame is a bit **** partners are good and the side quests are packed with collectibles but the bosses are underwhelming.Action commands are tedious and to be completely honest , the story is awful compared with ttyd and spm.
Overall , i had fun playing this game and i would recommend , but practise your action commands

This game is really fun, but the lack of a post-game really disappointed me. I wish I could have explored the world more!
