This game was an okay game, not quite up to par with the previous paper mario game. The game is still a bit of an rpg, but not so much as Door was. The fighting is basically like the old Mario games with tougher enemies and for the most part it is a side scroller except for Mario's ability to flip to a 3d screen. This reveal items and hidden paths. You also get the ability to use Bowser, Peach and even Luigi. Bowser was my favorite as he was by far the strongest. The story, Peach and Bowser start the game at their wedding and this wild wedding causes a rip in space that will lead to the destruction of all worlds, the evil doer though is not Bowser, but instead a man named Lord Blech. Like the previous installment you are collecting an object, though instead of stars this time it is hearts. You have your basic world, a haunted type house world, a space world and various others. Though my favorite was the one with the nerdy chameleon. The game is fun for the most part, but I prefer the turned based battles to the real time action as it took more strategy, it was really no problem to destroy the final boss here. Also, this one features a main town hub, but unlike Rougeport this one is a bit of a pain to traverse and explore thanks to numerous elevators and such. The flipping part is also a bit of a pain as your always afraid you should flip cause you might miss something. So be prepared for a somewhat fun game that at times is a tad annoying, however it does have a rather good ending.
