Did You Know Gaming?: Paper Mario

Odd timing. I've played the series in reverse from Super Paper Mario backward and only just got myself a VC copy of Paper Mario a couple days ago, just before this was posted. Got so much love for this and its spiritual predecessor 'Super Mario RPG', just a nifty collection of tongue-in-cheek, fourth-wall probing titles that maintain a cool twist on the turn-based (SPM exempted) that keeps it breezy.

For those in the know, how does that Mario & Luigi series hold up along side the Paper Mario series in terms of quality?

The Mario & Luigi team is made up of people who worked on Super Mario RPG, so you already know its gonna be pretty sweet. I haven't played any of them other than Superstar Saga, but that game is comparable to SMRPG and Paper Mario 1 in terms of quality.

I hope the new one is a return to form, kinda, since Sticker Star was a big misstep in my opinion.

Think I'm the only one that didn't mind Sticker Star

Caddicarus said it was okay, but the giant robot stages were tedious
