Oh, well that explains it --I only bought and played the Gamecube version.

Did you unlock the bonus content, as well? I found John Candy just north of the Sacred Grove after I collected the 30th extra heart. My dad works for Nintendo though, so maybe I got the special copy where you can do that.

I unlocked the bonus content where i got the orchestrated soundtrack

second tab has Luigi but not clickable does this mean he is the 4th playable and they are keeping his abilities secret?

He probably plays a role in the game but I doubt it's a playable role. It's times like these I wish I spoke/read japanese so I could sort some things out a bit.

Nintendo seems to love doing this to Luigi, and they know we hate it.

The first tab shows some of the opening scenes. Luigi is doing *something* and not totally screwing up, it seems. I hope he does end playable. He is one of the best characters, especially in Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi.

Yup. lol
Luigi never really got out of his "Being the green colored mario sprite for the second player" curse.

Luigi Stories were some of the most brilliantly conceived humour in the entirety of Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door. So ****ing genius.

I REALLY wanted a full-out sequel to TTYD called Paper Luigi. :( I wanted it sooooooo bad.

I know there's prime mining material there, but I fear they might overplay the joke if they did a full game. They really hit the perfect mix with what they did in Thousand Year Door with the concept.

Of course, I wouldn't mind a Luigi sidestory at all.

Colour me surprised, you are speaking the truth. Amazing what effects the impending awesomeness that is Super Paper Mario can have on people.

thought this quote from gamespot's original paper mario review was kind of funny in light of all the "2d is dead" fear:

Games of this caliber are few and far between, and it's too bad that Paper Mario might be the last great 2D Mario game.

I think you folks should check out IGN Wii. They have a very positive hands on and some awesome new vids up and running.

The second coming of Christ indeed.

I am definitely going to pick this game up day of. It was honestly one of the biggest games I was looking forward to when I bought my Wii. I'm glad nintendo went with the old school 2D gameplay route, I really likes New Super Mario Bros. on DS.

notable quote from the article

On the whole, the combat aspect of the game is my favorite part. Because the 2D/3D nature of the levels is so fun and unique, and also because the combat is real-time old school platforming, the game feels less like a traditional RPG and more like an adapted hybrid. Originality goes a long way with video games, and Super Paper Mario seems to have it in spades.

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.

8.8 Confirmed? :p

Seriously, if this game turns out the way it should, this could be huge, and it's not like demand for Wii has slowed up much anyway, lets hope all these rumours of Ninty witholding supplies are accurate, least then they could sell a shedload of consoles off the back of this.

I am still deciding whether or not to buy my girlfriend a birthday gift or get this and make her a card from Microsoft Paint instead.

It's really really really long..


Here is the final paragraph:


"Why has Nintendo been keeping this so quiet? From GameCube exclusive to Wii-GameCube joint release to Wii exclusive - all in the course of a month - Super Paper Mario always seems to have been neglected by Ninty's Promotional Megamachine in favour of its starry-eyed neighbour, Super Mario Galaxy. But know this: Super Paper Mario is easily brilliant enough to make you forget that there's even another Mario game on the way.

It's visually dazzling. The colours are so sharp you may just cut your eye open on them. It's crammed with familiar Mushroom Kingdom characters. The writing has all the silliness and wit we've come to expect of the series. It's huge. And, in the perspective-shifting mechanic, it's got a fresh and breath-catchingly ingenious central idea that, in Intelligent Systems' hands, is exploited in a bewildering array of ways.


Simply: it's brilliant - and one of the best games we've ever played."

They also say that it's so good that it'll make you forget that there's another mario game on the way.

Sounds like Galaxy will have a lot to live up too :p
