Ranking EVERY Mario RPG Game

[@gvssrsg4162]

What does everyone have against Partners in Time? Seriously, it's like people only focus on its flaws and immediately say "Nope. Mid game". No wonder people still say it's underrated to this day.

[@DhundupTseringOfficial]

yeah for real, I absolutely loved that game. it should at least be in the "very good" tier

[@Spongebob907]

Yea partners in time is my second favorite mario & luigi game right behind bowsers inside story and I thought it was great

[@JoeFilms5420]

Bro really looked at Origami King, said "eh I didn't play it, it's probably mid." That is the kind of top-tier journalism we need more of.

[@JacobCruise]

my hands weren’t on the controller but I watched my sister play it and it looks quite meh

[@apocalypseofplush]

@@JacobCruiseyeah, it’s pretty mid. A solid 6/10.

[@CJ-lm2zb]

he's not missing much honestly

[@cactusalucano4013]

And he's right! It is mid.

[@nomado.3855]

​@@apocalypseofplushNot even close, 4/10.

[@fictionalmediabully9830]

TTYD was the first RPG I've played. Since then, RPG has been one of my favourite video game genres.

[@keithbossuyt65]

I really liked partners in Time. The darker tone really resonated with me. I don't agree with the anatagonist not being interseting, The game really likes to show you how evil the shroovs are (Feeding peach to peety piranah, sucking toads of their life force) and i think thats way more compelling then villains with a lot of dialogue. This was also the only time I was really intimidated by the villains, and i loved the plot twist with the cobalt star. I definetly think it deserves to be at least higher then dream team because of the better story and better pacing.

[@murloc_rampage3856]

100% agree. The story is shown far more than spoken and that resonates with players who can put the pieces in their head why things are happening.

[@WaterKirby1994]

Agreed I always thought it was 1 of the better Mario & Luigi titles & am still shocked by how underrated it is.

[@mihailalexandru1345]

I agree too. The reason i played PIT was beacause i didn't like Dream Team and decided to try PIT out. Dream Team is EXTREMELY overrated right now, btw.

[@boo_guy]

Out of the ones I've played: Top-tier: The Thousand-Year Door, Partners in Time, Super Paper Mario, Bowser's Inside Story High-tier: Paper Mario, Superstar Saga Mid-tier: Dream Team, Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition (?), Paper Jam Low-tier: Color Splash Bottom-tier: Sticker Star

[@StewNWT]

how have you not yet played actual Mario RPG? Are you waiting for the remake?

[@boo_guy]

@@StewNWT Well... I did actually play it (the remake) and for some reason I just couldn't get into it. I feel like I should like it more, but... I don't. Not a bad game though, but personally I'd probably put it on top of the mid-tier.

[@boo_guy]

@@StewNWT Okay, I started replaying it a few days ago and now I'm enjoying it way more. I'd put it in high-tier.

[@jalolastname5446]

My tier list: Bad: Sticker Star Not good: Color Splash Ok: Paper Jam, Partners In Time Very good: Mario + Rabbids: Sparks Of Hope, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, Origami King, Super Paper Mario PEAK: Superstar Saga, Dream Team, Bowser’s Inside Story, Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario 64, The Thousand Year Door

[@JacobCruise]

good list

[@Flare11237]

Getting stuck on that shitty carrot minigame is near universal. I lost my stylus as a kid and my child fingers weren’t fast and precise enough to tap the screen. I later got stuck on the final boss because I couldn’t mash X fast enough to inhale fawful for the bros part of the fight.

[@Kemix0711]

I’ve played most of these games and with two exceptions I agree with your list: 1) Paper Mario (64) isn’t Peak-Tier in my opinion; it started a formula that needed work and was perfected in TTYD, but for its part wasn’t all that. 2) Dream Team DOES belong in Peak-Tier; it’s far better than just some gimmicky game and has real personality. Plus the battles were terrific, the story was compelling, and most importantly: it gave our man in green a feature role! Other than that, you’re completely right.

[@JacobCruise]

I actually can agree with you on both of these. Any given day my list can change with the exception of sticker star on the bottom or TTYD on top

[@Kemix0711]

@@JacobCruiseOh, no doubt. You are wise to place those in the tiers they’re in.

[@juanca2567]

@@JacobCruiseThe best and the worst is like in Pokémon. Sticker Star is like X and Y, where the developers use gentrification to make them more digestible after making something too different for audiences at the time (Super and Black and White), which made them bad (the 3DS games really wanted to stick games to their franchises’ rigid definitions, meaning no new unique characters, no secret lore (mostly just revenge story plots), and obviously no fun). HeartGold and SoulSilver is like the Thousand Year Door. So many problems (bad Pokédex selection is equal to the bad backtracking), yet everything else is extremely amazing in story and combat.

[@WaterKirby1994]

TTYD64 fixes the problems with 64 supposedly. As for Pokemon don't insult XY those games were good considering they came out a year early & the problem of too much experience can easily be worked around. Sticker Star had glaring problems such as the game punishing you for actually playing it. 3DS Pokemon was where secret lore actually started involving Ancient Energy Sources that made each gimmick.

[@rinn5238]

I love how it's usually unanimous that Sticker Star is the worst and TTYD is one of the best. Paper Mario simultaneously has the best and worst Mario RPGs of all time

[@xanander4693]

That’s only for the Paper Mario series tho. I think Mario and Luigi, Bowser’s Inside Story and Super Star Saga are better games overall. Plus the Mario RPG too.

[@rinn5238]

@@xanander4693 I mean that's your opinion, I still prefer the first three PM games but I can see the argument for M&L

[@xanander4693]

@@rinn5238 Same goes for yours. Saying that Sticker Star is worst and TTYD is the best isn’t an objective fact. I know some ppl love sticker star while others think TTYD is good, but flawed.

[@brantchristy3490]

I personally would've moved Paper Jam up a tier or two. Yes, it's the most forgettable in the series, but at least the good gameplay was left intact. To me, gameplay is the biggest thing that will make or break the experience. I dislike every modern Paper Mario game more than Paper Jam because none of their battle systems were enjoyable to me, even if the game otherwise had a lot of good things going for it. If anything, Paper Jam might be my favorite when looking at only the gameplay. Dashing in the overworld feels great, I found papercraft battles to be an improvement over giant battles, and Paper Mario feels so good to use in combat. Other than that, I pretty much agree with everything else.

[@lss_top-man32]

It pained me how dream team is better than partners in time and how super paper mario is apparently the best out of all ok...

[@JacobCruise]

ttyd is literally above the others

[@AymenZero]

Let's goooo!! Super paper mario appreciation!!

[@DimentioTechno]

YES

[@drybonesmunchakoopas5143]

Did paperjam dirty

[@DryBonesandSilver]

A few of my slightly controversial takes in respect to this: 1) Partners in Time is underrated, I think the story and Shroobs introduction was very clever. I liked the concept with the babies and it made the Bros moves more fun 2) TTYD's final battle music is better than Inside Story's

[@rog4532]

you probably have your reasons and you probably already explained them, but i think the mario+rabbids games are underrated jems. idk if yall can count them as rpgs but i personally do.

[@robertadamsx2]

Thank you so much for giving Super paper mario the love it deserves. Was my first paper mario, and i absolutely love it. Sticker star was my 2nd, and i've had a similar experience to it as chuggaconroy had. Not great. I'm playing through the new remake on switch, and superstar saga on my gamecube gameboy player. Both are fun. Biggest flaw i see in superstar right now is having to pause to switch characters and abilities just to traverse several obstacles. Gets annoying fast. Bowsers inside story seemed more seemless with it. Alsp really looking forward to thousand year door remake. Never played it, and don't know much about it. Can finally understand once its out!

[@Xlacyon]

Bro, When He Put Color Splash In "Not Good", I Got A Bit Mad. But When He Put Origami King And Partners In Time (Partners In Time Was The First Mario And Luigi Game I Played) In "Ok", I Lost It And Shouted "YOU ARE UNWORTHY OF YOUR OPINION!" Long Story Short, I Was Pissed The Rest Of The Video

Hey Man You Don’t Need To Capitalize Every Word.

@@JacobCruise Its A Habit

[@windthugness]

Everyone has different opinions. I personally enjoyed Color Splash and Origami King but HATED Super Paper Mario. It all comes down to preference.

[@GravityBouncer]

@@Xlacyonrealistically i get partners in time, but have you played the rest of the paper Mario series? you’re allowed to think color splash and origami king should be higher, but color splash is so generic (even if it’s still a good game) and origami king ends up being so boring for such a long time (even if it has good points) that i don’t know how you’ll argue their placements in the lower mid range

[@ClassicGamer9044]

How did you make paper Mario sticker star look so clean?

[@RuneTacticss]

Before video: Uh oh oh no this list I'm scared After video: Yep, I figured Partners in Time wouldn't be that high up. Its actually one of my favorite Mario RPGs out there. I'd move it up to very good alongside moving superstar saga and paper mario 64 down to very good. Everything else though I pretty much agree with. If the rabbids games were included, I would put kingdom battle in ok and sparks of hope into very good

[@jaretco6423]

I would say Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario 64 & TTYD ( both original & remake ) are the top 3 best Mario RPG'S. But others like Superstar Saga, Bowser's Inside Story & the Mario + Rabbids games; if you wonna count those, are great Mario RPG'S as well.

[@quas3728]

Super Paper Mario is peak tier with Super Mario RPG, TTYD, paper mario 64 to me (I didn't play Mario & Luige RPG series). Super Paper Mario's soundtrack is so good. 2D / 3D system made me so excited and NGL I personally prefer it over turn based rpg. yeah super paper mario's gameplay is easy compared to TTYD. (iirc you can kill ice boss with luigi in less than 1 minute) but 2D / 3D system is still inovative. only complaint is lack of partners like from TTYD & paper mario 64. I prefer TTYD partners character design over Pixl character design. also Pixl had their personality but they became quiet tool after they became partners (except tippi). I didn't play Super Mario RPG because I thought it's too old compared to TTYD. but goddamn It's masterpiece. I loved TTYD and Super Paper Mario since I was a kid but Super Mario RPG became my top tier favorite with 2023 remake. Yoko Shimomura's soundtrack is perfection. I'm not even a musician but how did she do it!? all bosses and even toad have unique personality.

[@Chronothemeter]

Paper Mario 64 has one of the worst introductions / prolouge ever . You spend about 2 hours until you can start the first chapter . Not only that but you only do action commands after you leave that summit You do not have this in TTYD

I've played all M&L games and I can agree with your opinions on these. Sticker Star is the only Paper Mario game i've played so far and it is one of the most disappointing games i've ever played (I'm not sure if this or Fire Emblem Engage was more disappointing). I haven't played Mario RPG yet but I'm currently playing Paper Mario for the first time. I do have to say however that the beginning of PM is really boring. I do hope it gets better.

[@JacobCruise]

If you want my honestly opinion Paper Mario starts getting good at Chapter 3 (like a significant jump in coolness). Peaks at Chapter 7. It’s clearly a dated game, and looking back on the list, it’s only that high because of my initial playthrough.

[@HyperShadic101]

ur were in the same situation as me, sticker star only the first game, haven't played Mario RPG, but has also played every m&l game

[@HyperShadic101]

and playing paper mario for the first time, I can agree the start is relatively boring though

[@jaretco6423]

Great list. But some I would disagree. Super Paper Mario & Dream Team should be in an OK Tier. While not terrible, both are very flawed in there gameplay. It has highlight. Like Super has an fantastic story and Dream Team looks pretty for an 3D game. But gameplay wise, they are undercooked or overbloated. I also bumped Paper Jam in an OK Tier as well. While it was an miss potential for an crossover game, gameplay wise; it's decent and I like it more than Super Paper Mario and Dream Team. But yeah. That's my take. And if you haven't played the Mario + Rabbids games, I think you should give them an try. There so good.

[@KaiJie-n8q]

I would put paper jam as the worst one, and bowser's inside story as the best one. One criticism I have for superstar saga is it's way too hard. And I don't like how thousand year door is so dark.

[@daxmasterix]

I would put the first paper mario after the SMRPG but alright, good list
