It is really a shame that nintendo completely shit all over the series and turned into absolute trash. Greatest tragedy in the world of gaming.

It really is an outstanding chapter. Crystal King's music is probably the best in the game.

Hell, I don't really remember the chapter from the OP. It was kinda boring to me back then, and it still is pretty boring now.

I found it very unique, and felt like a nice break in the middle of the game. I also love how it was a nod to the classic 1934 novel "Murder on the Orient Express".

From what I heard, they put a person in charge of the series who specifically targets very young gamers. That would explain why the depth is now gone.

It isn't the most action-packed chapter, but I do agree with TC that the atmosphere sells it. Great music and it looks really good. The mystery sidequest is neat, but it is pretty short. Obviously the Excess Express takes that concept and makes a whole chapter out of it in the sequel. And it too is a great chapter. TTYD chapters in general had more action and excitement than the chapters in the first Paper Mario game, although I don't necessarily think that makes them always better.

TTYD's best chapters are typically much more story driven

in terms of actual level design i think the original blows TTYD out of the water

it's why i think the first game is much more replayable, when you already know what to expect in TTYD's best chapters it loses that magic and its worst chapters are full of awful backtracking and frustrating padding

TTYD is way ahead of the first game in terms of the battle system gameplay though

I'm not sure I could survive another playthrough through the first one anymore

definitely

not being able to do timed hits from the start is a point of contention for me when it comes to the original

Crystal King was a cool boss but he was such a nothing character compared to the other bosses in Bowsers employ. :/

I'd say Konami turning one of their series into a pachinko machine and Zynga f2p are the biggest tragedies, but I agree that ruining the series was pretty sad

I think the best boss in the game is easily General Guy. Paper Mario's portrayal of the Shy Guys was so creative. It's why I'd really like a new good Paper Mario game with a Shy Guy partner.

this is also an issue with most of the partners

outside of lady bow (another reason she's the best), not many of the other partners really establish characters, another area TTYD shined in

Definitely agree, chapter 3 (pretty sure that's the wrestling one) was fun the first time but is awful to replay, so painfully long climbing the ranks.

Chapter 7 is pretty great. Overall i like Paper Mario N64 the most, although TTYD has its merits, like the menacing Doopliss.

TTYD's partners are certainly more fleshed out, but I think Watt is still my favorite partner across both games. She's just so damn useful in battle. And certainly the most unique species used for a partner.
