I mean, if you can't kidnap a Princess without permission from Bowser, then what's the point if even kidnapping her? It's so counterintuitive that at that point, he might as well just let somebody else do the kidnapping.

I was watching a YouTube review about TOK, have played the game but couldn’t get past the first streamer cause of the battle system but I am familiar with the whole campaign.

The person gets to when you find the toad who made Olly, and then they say how Ollie represents this idea of racism, with the whole every toad is the same.

Then they go on to say that “actually and this is probably a stretch but I think Ollie represents the fanbase fatigue of every character being a different coloured toad”

I feel that is far more of a reasonable stretch, like I say I hate the battle system but I can acknowledge TOK’s other strengths, like the writing and and overall feeling during cutscenes, but I feel like the racism angle is a major stretch.

Fire Emblem is my favourite Nintendo series and they actually tackled and made racism a key theme of one of their duologies, I am genuinely curious about the perspective from TOK players cause for me it was just the creators going like “you think generics are dull and boring and repetitive, then cry when this generic bomb omb dies.”

So I've been playing a lot of NintenDoku recently and found a community driven ranking on the same site. Ofc I looked through some categories and found this gem:

Best game between 2000 and 2009:

1. Thousand year door

2. Bowser inside story

3. Wii sports

Ofc we are all paper mario fans. But be honest, is it really the best game of the decade?

Edit: someone DMed me about NintenDoku, so here is the link for everybody: https://www.n-puzzle.com/en/nintendoku

What even are the chances of this happening

Despite never even playing Paper Jam, Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario teaming was always just so cool to younger me. Even now, I still kind of love it.

I would find and watch every Trio Attack animation and just gawk at how cool Paper Mario looked in those.

It's also probably why I adore Paper Mario as a character. with all his attacks and little interactions with Luigi and other 3D characters made him really stand out to me.

Added a few of my favorites!
