Which of the Mario themed RPGs do you consider to be the best?

Nintendium is long gone, they used the last batch on the Wii.
Even then, they had to ration.

There is no more Nintendium, it died with Iwata.

I after beating Partner's in Time and Bowser's inside Story I noticed that the sole purpose of starlow and stuffwell was to hold the player's hand through the plot and advance them through it. It was annoying and out of place to have them come out of hammerspace just to tell me what to do. Then I remember how the partners in Paper Mario served the same function but more. They would tell me what to do but they're presence wan't as intrusive and was welcomed by me. My partners fought with me and had personalities I enjoyed and they're hand holding wasn't as severe. This brought me to the thought of how I though a Mario&Luigi and Paper Mario crossover should've been done. It wou be paper Mario fighting with paper Luigi a long with a partner. And then, just like how Paper Jam has special moves with paper Mario, you could have a special move for all of your partners.

nothing felt better than fighting as Bowser.

The train was the latter, I wanted nothing more than for that section to end.

Ho ho ho you funny man I kill you last.

eyelashes, have her blushing, and a ponytail for good measure.

Upturned fang and formal attire, too.

this. short but i actually just replayed this last month and i was surprised at how good the writing was, and how consistently good the game is. it all starts happening really fast once you get to nimbus land and ends really quick, and it's pretty easy to break the game by minmaxing your characters (give bowser and mario nothing but attack power upgrades and peach nothing but special attack, and you can beat the game around level 20) but still one of the best and comfiest games i've ever played

its hard to really place and of the great ones above the other, but for nostalgia id have to go with mario rpg. perfect time to get in to rpgs too, was just learning how to read.
mario rpgs were always great fun and it hurts to see nintendo disrespect them these days. heres hoping theyll get back on the right track soon

It has timely references that will never change the original version of the game. :^)

wrong paper mario

I'm not sure if I should be relived or upset that they got a pass for reusing assets to that point. I forgot that one came from the platformer.
