Most of Paper Mario 1's cast joins you for HOLY SHIT ITS MARIO reasons. The only exceptions I can think of are Lady Bow, who carries you through Tubba Blubba's mansion, and Sushi whom you join forces to find the yoshi children. Character motivations are the biggest thing they upgraded in its sequel.
It's silly enough that it makes me crack a smile, so it's all right in my book.Does Gogo count in FFVI? It joins you in order to 'copy' you by saving the world as well. I love the character and clearly that fits his theme of mimicry, but it was pretty silly all the same.
