smRPG has the best strack, the best battles and the coolest bosses. why? because the great majority of denemies is totally new, and there are tons of new characters, smithy, booster, all of them great.

and the boss battle song is teh best song of all the series

btw, i also love p mario and s saga, but in this series, lofthe7stars receives my vote

I like Mario RPG. First RPG I ever played, which got me hooked to RPGs. That game holds a special place in my heart. And it's the only RPG game of Mario I've played. :/

Yes, there's no denying it. Mario RPG is one of the games I value most. It's sheer awesomeness. It does, indeed, hold a special place in my heart. If it weren't for that game, who knows what would've become of me...Chrono Trigger/Cross...FFVII...Who knows if I would've been interested in them...?

But the question is which one is the best as a game. And I still look at Paper Mario as the best of the three in general. It had everything it should've, it just lacked that Squaresoft touch, is all. But otherwise it was great.

The original Mario RPG just...Is boring, now. After beating it 7 times and mastering it, it feels more like your average RPG. But the idea it brought- bringing action to turn based battles- was VERY awesome, and I'm glad that Paper Mario and SS have further evolved this practice.

M&L. It had the best of both worlds-Awesome Mario action, PROPER RPG-style level-up (Paper Mario lacked it), and an awesome story. And yeah, Luigi's a main character.

Paper Mario had a proper level-up system. It made perfect sense. Obviously, M&L has a more classic style.

M&L IS an awesome game.

But it's just to short...I dunno...It's missing what Paper Mario had. The flair, the classic Mario-ness...It's a great game, and it's wicked that Mario and Luigi work together, but...

The only 'side-quest' type deals are, like...The mini-games.

Besides, Paper Mario's Badge point system wins hands down for the equipment system, I've gotta admit. Perfect for strategy...

I just wish Paper Mario had a harder difficulty level or something...

You go through SuperStar Saga in this fashion:

Pea Badges on both Bros.
Work pants on both Bros.

Through the WHOLE GAME. Bad guys are doing, like, half your HP to you by the end of the game. MWAHA! Now that's fun. My 99 Super Mushrooms, and 99 1-Up Supers might actually come into play!

But after playing that game for about 60 hours (HOLY CRAP!! O_o Didn't realize it...) you won't need too many of them.

YES! This poll is doing exactly what I hoped it would do- tie three ways!

Thus showing that all three of the Mario RPG's are great games for different qualities.

I'm admit that Superstar Saga has a few fun minigames, though. I got addicted to a couple last night, stocking up on Hee Beans.

Hehe...I've got that game about down. I'm totally massacring it right now...

I changed my mind... the humor in M&L is nice, but SMRPG's is better. I decided this as I replayed SMRPG for the first time in a long time right now. There is no funnier character in the SMRPG series than Booster, baby!!! The Snifits are great, too. Popple is the only guy I think that compares with Booster in any stretch of the imagination from M&L.

*chuckles*

See? It's not so easy, is it? All three of them are great games!

Heck, who knows? Maybe my opinion will change...

I mean, I don't like Paper Mario more than the other two- I like all three for diferent aspects.

But I think it's the best one as a GAME- right now, anyway.

Interesting race we have going here...

Legend of the 7 Stars was the best. Paper Mario was the worst! I think Square should make another game with Nintendo, like Super Mario Bros.: Smithy's Revenge. Paper Mario didn't had good gameplay. Great ideas, but it lack some stuff. MLS was just so-so.

For someone who hates Paper Mario, you have a Paper Mario avatar!

Good gameplay? Yes, Paper Mario had good gameplay. What DIDN'T it have that you think is 'good?' It had a lot of unique elements to it.

Yes, Square SHOULD do anotehr Mario RPG. Smithy's Revenge? God, no, please come up with something new and original.

Superstar Saga was very original if only for the fact that we got to see a NEW KINGDOM!!! HOKY CRAP!!

(sigh) Okay. I admit! The only wrong things are this:
You can only have one party member in battle at a time,
I wanted stronger bad guys(Highest HP: 99),
and your party members have no HP! (They just stop for a few turns)
Okay, I'll change PM to a 8/10. Plus, Smithy's Revenge isn't a good idea to me, either. I just wish Mallow, Geno, or the Paper Mario party members will be playable in another game!

The Paper Mario sequel is shaping up to be quite nice. I don't know if you'll have more than one partner at a time (that's part of the strategy, of course.) but I have evidence to support your party members are REALLY members with their own HP. I saw a screen shot, go take a peek!

I'm really excited about how the sequel is shaping up.

And yes, it would've been nice if there was a Hard Mode. Maybe the sequel will have one.

I would say Paper Mario, because it had the best gameplay, and many cool features. Here's my ratings.

SMRPG: 7.9/10
PM: 9.9/10
M&LSS: 9.7/10
PM2: 10/10!

I can. I have a TV in my car.


Anyway, back on topic.

Super Mario RPG was too short in my opinon. If I tried, I'm sure I can beat it in two days.

Paper Mario was good, but it was a very unorthodox RPG. The way the party worked, the level up system, I didn't like any of that. I liked the badge system though.

Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga was sort of unorthodox as well. The music was good, I suppose, but it lacked replay value.

Super Mario RPG rocks! Sure, I have beaten it a lot, but it is still very good. A lot of my friends like it too.

*smacks the idiot that voted for "All of them sucked"*

Anyway, I'm going to have to go with Paper Mario. I liked it's battle system the best, and it seemed to have the most fun stuff do on it (fun stuff being stuff like doing favors for Koopa Koot, etc.)

I'd say Mario RPG, because I've gotten the furthest in that than in the other 2. I like the music and the strange bosses.

Myself...

It's Paper Mario all the way.

I won't post a huge review that compare all three but anyway...

In a nutshell, Mario RPG is a challenge-free eye candy, Paper Mario is a surprisingly deep and challenging game, Superstar is a mix of the two (it mix Paper Mario's qualities and Mario RPG's flaws to be more exact).

Of course, all of this is only my humble opinion...
