One thing I found kind of interesting about SMRPG is how detached it feels from the Mario universe compared to Paper Mario (and presumably the Mario and Luigi games). It's kind of weird, but not in a bad way. I think I still prefer PM for having a more Mario-ish feel... and the platforming sections. The SMRPG isometric view doesn't really hold up, and it makes for some awkward parts. But it's hard to say which one has better combat without playing PM again.

I agree on the isometric view being awkward. I also like the weird guys like Mallow and Croco showing up though. Like I said, it's not my all time favorite by any means but I do like it and it's the one I played for a little while when I was like 7 years old so that counts for something too.

Mario & Luigi definitely has better combat at least but I can't speak to PM either. M&L is more "normal" Mario stuff but it has a weird streak too. There's this whole race of bean people that are in like every game.
