! SPOILERS !A really awesome remake for the original game, I love how many little things were added and changed.There's a lot of things I personally noticed just during my gameplay, and I'm nearly headed to the moon at the time of writing this.Just to name a few changes:-Easy access to creepy steeple now via a pipe in town-Prince mush is now a new boss you can fight, quite challenging as well. Including the little Whacka, which is now a boss after you go back to the 100 trials when you beat it. That is so cool to me, excited to properly fight them.-More coins, even coins after boss battles, and even more coin space than before, I'm past 2k at the moment.-Easier selling, storing and sorting. Especially giving items to NPCs, you no longer have to read the same NPC message 50 times after you give them something, like the underwear mission in glitzpit. You can just hand them all off to Jolene rapidly.-Pipe room is now all one spot vs the walkways and lack of names they had before. A lot nicer and convenient.-Revamped and better soundtrack for almost every area. New SFs and sounds for voicelines of characters! Only soundtrack I hated was glitzpit. I don't understand why they tried to play so much into the culture of the place. I always found the place more of a fun-fair/carnival kind of vibe, really threw off my favorite chapter for me lol-New cutscenes and fixed typos/lines, and new interactions.-There's this new karate lady that also helps you practice everything and gives you tips, it's super awesome if you were a new player or want to practice moves without battling.-More hints, you can access goombella anytime to ask for help without switching partners.-Quick wheel for changing partners. Thank god, I hated having to constantly go into my inventory for swapping.-Enemies don't immediately charge you or tail you constantly like the piranha plant did. Piranha plant bites once then goes back to its spot. It's really nice that the enemies don't follow you the whole time, I always got stuck in fights because of that, that I didn't want to fight.-No death room of turtle enemies in creepy steeple when you jump down a bounce pad. Gosh, I hated that room so much, thank you.-You can now choose if you want to ride the excess express all the way to riverside or just to rogueport immediately, instead of having to ride the whole way.-Enemies no longer wake up when you put them to sleep if you hit them. Still can wake up by the stage elements though. There was always a 50/50 chance before, I love that change.Regarding some disliked changes:There's only been a few things here and there where I was sad to see it changed, such as the spring jump no longer using Mario's voice and just a sound effect. Or even when you hit a wall with super jump above and it makes a little comedic sound effect when your paper form falls. Small things I loved.Also they somehow made the hammer throw worse-- like, it was at least decently useful at the start now it's just pointless.Also the screaming or reacting from audiences sadly is gone, and the style moves are a bit different than the original which threw off my original timing I learned for so long. But other than some few things, honestly I find more pros with this game than any bad ones. It feels like a love letter to the fans bringing this game back and I've really enjoyed playing it all over again for old times sake.Been a blast playing it, and will probably play it several times over for different runs after my current one. Playing currently more the OG style, nothing crazy, or cheaty-like.

Great game, my son loves to play this. Lots of fun and is good at being challenging but not too difficult to learn.

Fun game

The package was managed well and came without any hitches. The game itself provides an amazing experience that is worth it for anyone who is into RPGs or people that are fans of Mario games in general. The story is also a particular highlight of this one, as well as the charming characters and game mechanics.

Got this game as a gift for my adult brother. He loves it, it works as it should. Came sealed.

It was brand new as they said, they delivered it and it was a solid purchase for a switch game. As for the game, I don't know yet but this is a good way to get a switch game.

This and the original N64 paper Mario are my favorites in the series (wasn't a fan of the origami one) but this one was as good as the first .I like how this game changed it up a little bit and wasn't another Bowser takes peach Mario saves her storylines even tho that never gets old lol.i also like that it had side stories where you get to play as peach and Bowser for short intermissions like segments .the art in these paper Mario games is great all the characters look so cool in this world .if you've never tried a paper Mario game this isn't a bad one to start with .
