Another long forgotten entry from the vast backlog. This is from 2003 (10 years ago now) which was played briefly when it first came out and now finished. A charming little Mario RPG game, but I still think the Paper Mario series is more enjoyable. My main complain in this one is that the counter attacks were quite difficult to execute as well as figure out and the cost of not regularly performing them correctly would be quite high. Quite a lot of grinding was involved to get to the levels required to progress a few times. But apart from these rather unpleasent difficulty spikes, it was overall a very enjoyable trip through the bean bean kingdom. But still probably not good enough to warrant me playing more in this series sadly.
