This isn't a nastalgia bias. I grew up with TTYD, since the day of its release. Ive played every subsequent game or watched them on YouTube as they came out. My first time playing PM64 was in 2023. Ive played it every year since, so this is my fourth playthrough.

This time im really focusing on the artwork, various NPCs and all the dialogue. Im trying to absorb EVERYTHING in this game

One thing I can say I wish Mario had more of, was artwork like this first picture of the Koopa Brothers. So much personality.

I feel wirh the 3d models of the main series too many of the characters look very similar, and with the Paper Mario series to me it feels more uninspired as rhe series goes on.

Im just really appreciating the look of this older game, the sprites and artwork just look more fun and fit the "mario story" aesthetic

Tl;dr: paper mario series fanoy recently played the original for the first time and thinks, overall, it is the most charmingly beautiful game of the series

In the last few months, I’ve recently played or replayed the following:
Mario RPG
Paper Mario 64
Paper Mario TTYD (remake)
Super Paper Mario on Wii

I loved all of these and also enjoyed Mario and Luigi Brothership earlier in the year. I’m running out of options that people really recommend, but I NEED more. Which of these in your opinion should I play next? I’ve never played any of them. Thank you.

I lied a tiiiiny bit in my last post - there's one very important lady who can't be left out.

They're suppose to be kissing in the last panel.

I thought this could apply here as well XD

I'm not nature English.I can't read and speak English.

I don't like study.I like game.

Switch can change lauguage.

I play papermario by English.

But I don't know many difficult words.

What do you think that playing papermario is effective to improve English?
