Paper Mario 64 Review

My (minor spoilers) review of Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64! Chat with me on Twitter @CasenSperry

This is one of my all-time favorites. It's BY FAR the best RPG for the N64, though I can only think of like 3 others that ever graced the system. This was a "sequel" to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and a prequel to Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. It definitely started a new type of video game.

This game is by far the most cherished game in my collection and has a special place in my heart. I have some of the fondest memories with this game ever since 2001 when I got it for my 7th birthday. It is now 2017 and I am about to turn 23 and I still absolutely love Paper Mario 64.

THE most underrated N64 game.  Period.

Paper Mario 64 was the greatest RPG for the N64. Prove me wrong!

My childhood was this game. The story line is so much fun. You’re exactly right, the dialogue really is hilarious. The first time My sister and I started playing I was on the edge of my seat whenever we were fighting an enemy. I have never elost interest in the game, there is always something new to try.

I use to play this game with my grandfather when I was 6 years old. It makes me miss him so much

Really nice review. Paper Mario had me absolutely captivated from start to finish when it dropped. And the abandonment of the classic style in the newer games hurts my heart too haha.

oh man I have a sudden craving to play through all the paper mario games now.

I remember when I first played this game back in 2001 I really enjoyed this game. It is one of my favorite Mario Games and One of my favorite RPG Video Games. Nice Review.

It was the game that really started to explore the Mushroom World in its most realistic essense.

My biggest issue when I replayed the game recently wasn't the lack of difficulty (easy games don't bother me if they're still fun), but that it is VERY slow to get going. It takes a long time to start getting your reaction abilities and expanding on them, so while Paper Mario is crazy fun the first time, it takes a while to get into it on a replay.

But the first few dragging hours are worth it, because the writing's great even in the slow parts, the charm is resonant, and with time the combat system gets super fun and engaging. Glad they re-released this on the Wii U Virtual Console, because I never owned the game for N64 - just rented it a bunch - so I'm glad to have a way to add it to my library. It's a classic. Great review, thanks for the in-depth look :)

I played this game a bit as a kid. We never owned it but my sister and I loved getting it from the video store. I forked over the cash for Switch Online purely so I could play some N64 favorites. I got all the way to the final fight with Bowser before I got distracted. Such a fun game and Im glad I had the opportunity at 34 to play it all the way through (am 35 now).

“The highest possible amount of damage Mario can do at the end of the game is 12...”
ha...ha... *a perfect power bounce + max super jump charge can deal 4, 953 damage*

I really wish the newer entries of Paper Mario included the Partner System again, that was one of my favorite parts of the series was getting to hang out and battle with cool characters like Goomba's, little yoshis, boo's and more

I LOVE this game! This was actually the first RPG that I've played and I think it was a great introduction to the genre. I love how this game combines a turn based battle system with action elements, it's just so much fun. The art style is charming, the soundtrack is amazing and the dialogue is hilarious.
Great video as always, keep up the good work! :)

This review made me turn on the Wii U and jump into Wii's virtual console just to play the awesomeness that is "Paper Mario" for the first time in years, last night! I bought this on my original Wii after remembering how much fun I had with it on the N64 cart but never did jump back into it, nows the time!

[HelloHelloHellobby]

I just beat this game for the first time. The difficulty can be increased by not using healing items in battle, or not using inns or heart blocks, which I did. Worked out pretty good for me. It actually felt like it could be a legit hard more for the game.

[ahabgaddis]

Paper Mario was really fun, light-hearted, and grand adventure. It was as good as Super Mario RPG

[Hammy]

The only problem is that Paper Mario turned from an amazing RPG, to an ok adventure game.

[MelodeathxTed]

Another great review as always, Casen. Your reviews are always very emotive and quirky, which makes for a nice alternative to Mike's style of reviewing (Both are great)

Keep up the good work.

I've played Mario and luigi superstar saga and finished it. But when I played paper mario, I got so into it. This became my favourite game of all time. The story to me was so emotional. 😢
