Super Paper Mario: Difference between revisions
What's wrong with adding Castlevania Symphony of the Night as a second example. It is a sidescrolling RPG too like Zelda II. Added mentions of other NES Sidescrolling RPGs like Faxanadu and Battle of Olympus.

'''''Super Paper Mario''''' is an action-adventure RPG game for the [[Wii]]. Unlike other ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' games, ''Super Paper Mario'' is a platformer and doesn't use a turn-based battle system, but rather incorporates RPG elements with platforming much in the vein of games such as ''[[zeldawiki:Zelda II:The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''. The game fuses elements of 2D and 3D gameplay together, shifting back and forth between dimensions, once being described as a "2.5D" sidescroller by [[Nintendo Power]] magazine. In addition to the regular ''Paper Mario'' aesthetics, the game also uses many novel character, enemy and background designs, including a fully pixelated world and the use of sprites from the classic ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' for certain techniques. | '''''Super Paper Mario''''' is an action-adventure RPG game for the [[Wii]].

The story focuses on [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Luigi]] and [[Bowser]] journeying across various dimensions to stop a villain named [[Count Bleck]] from destroying all of existence. In addition to the four playable characters are fairy-like [[Pixl]]s that grant the main party members various extra abilities, such as hammering objects or calling up a temporary shield. As the players defeat enemies, they accumulate points and level up, making their own attacks stronger. While the plot is considered dark by ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' standards, as in earlier ''Paper Mario'' titles, humorous dialogue and references to other games, nerd culture and even mythology are abound. | The story focuses on [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Luigi]] and [[Bowser]] journeying across various dimensions to stop a villain named [[Count Bleck]] from destroying all of existence.
