Paper Mario (only played about an hour last year before moving on, but even that small amount of time was loads better than Sticker Star!)
Sticker Star

Not played Colour Splash or Origami King, Colour Splash looked lovely on the Wii U though, not that graphics make a game of course.

Go back to the first game pls.

It's next up on my list to play actually! (well its PM64 or KOTOR 2, but as TTYD is out in a few months, PM64 seems the right choice) Will hopefully make a start this weekend if I don't get side tracked too much.

Have I missed a lot by stalling at the post game in Odyssey? That moon boss rush is a pain.

If you choose to stop right where you are, you've experienced nearly all of the game, well done.

But you have missed just a little after dark side of the moon. The bit after happens to be one of my favourites of the game, but it's arguably more effort than it's worth depending on how many moons you currently have. There is;

Yes and no. There's a lot of padding in Odyssey and repeated moons but you'll also have missed some truly excellent ones, including the level Barnsy mentioned.

I'm still going back through the worlds and there are still loads of moons. Especially where there are basically always two for every platforming area / "zone". Great game.

Just finished chapter 1 on Paper Mario N64..... Am I going to slightly spoil my enjoyment of playing the TTYD remake, or do they become less similar at some point? Chapter 1 was really similar is all.

I’ll carry on then, didn’t want to carry on if nearly every chapter was basically copied for TTYD

There are certainly similarities and overlaps but there things you do in each that isn’t done in the other

The gameplay is very similar, everything else isn't.

I don't know..... Chapter 1 was similar, takes place in a castle, need to find a Koopa to progress the main quest, main difference was the boss really? The kind of spin dash you can use in the overworld is neat though. The gameplay is great though, I'll be making my way through it before the TTYD remake comes out.

i may get this game this year.

Good on ya

Found a fan-made map of the game world that made me realise just how great the characters are in this - arguably the best in any Mario game.

Spoilered for huge (and for spoilers, too)



EDIT: here's one from the N64 game, too. What a pair of games

I'll try not to spam my questions about Paper Mario N64 in here too much.... I know FP and BP have huge advantages (especially BP), but is health th best one to focus on when levelling up in PM64? With your partner having no health, if means all attacks just hit Mario, beat a mini boss last night in the desert that was doing 4 damage quite regularly and had 40 health itself.

I found alternating between HP and FP primarily to work well

I normally start off levelling up my HP to about 30 or so before increasing BP.

I'll put the next two levels into HP and then start balancing it out between the 3, although I seem to recall on TTYD, unless you were doing a crazy BP strategy, you could spread the level ups pretty evenly.

I used the character who gives you a bump in one category but takes away some of one of the others to get a huge BP total at the expense of the others It worked well for the most part as some of the badges give you a bigger boost in HP or FP anyway, and it naturally balanced out in the second half of the game.

Oh yeah the little furry slug things with coloured bobbles on them!

That's true there were so many characters... I am debating whether to just replay it.

But I still have sticker star to finish on 3DS. And I have Colour Splash as well.
