General Commentary and Game Overview
Woohoo! I decided to go to a fantastic comprehensive mario fangame site to download a mario game since Nintendo has decided to wait three decades before it releases Mario 128. And the first one I downloaded was this: Paper Mario World. :) Well what can I say? I have no objections to this game whatsoever, it's downright wonderful. Two player mode was a stroke of genius, and who would have thought that Mario and Kirby would team up to defeat the evil sword king of "Bowser's Castle"? One word: Funtastic. This game is sooo underated it's hard to believe. I would have thrown Yoshi into this and a hammer, but that's about it. Brilliant voice acting, wonderful graphics that make you think of cheese, and best of all it's 100% free. Now you may be thinking "No! This is the most horrible craptastic game I've ever seen! That yoshi voice can give you brain damage!". Well that is what most seem to think. But I have a more controversial review, for I truly believe this is one of the finest games out there.
 
Pros Brilliant emmy-award winning voice acting by Yoshi. You would think that Yoshi is right behind you telling you what to do!! It's hilariously bad and good at the same time. Yes, some of the backgrounds look like Connie the Cow...but you can't have everything now can you? Two player mode is very innovative and especially when you have the sacred pink one to play as.
 
Cons Was far too short. And Goombario is weird. But if you're like me, once you hear that yoshi voice acting you won't even care.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
8 / 10
Wonderful gameplay! The magic hat idea that shoots fireballs was very original and cool. There are no slowdowns or glitches either, it is executed perfectly and very fun to do. Jumping, shooting fireballs almost everything you'd want in a mario game....err.. but how come these little goombas don't go squoosh when I jump on them? And why cannot the kirby (who was named after a vacuum cleaner by Shigeru Miyamoto) suck up enemies like his name states? It seems that in this game Mario and Kirby have forgotten how to do many of the things they used to do. But it's still very innovative. VERY.
 
Graphics
4 / 10
TOP NOTCH. Who says the graphics look like crap? They couldn't have been better. They are vibrant and colorful (for the most part). Bowser looks just like Paper Mario Bowser, Mario looks just like Paper Mario Mario (except when he's in his glorious airplane) and the white backgrounds... are bland and poor, but let's just pretend it's Connie the Cow again, shall we? I'm a big mario fan don't get me wrong, and I've seen far worse graphics in fan games. Play Goomba's Revenge you'll laugh your yoshi boots off at how bad it is.
 
Sound
10 / 10
Well the sound is all burrowed from other fan games and it's overdone. Almost every game maker or games factory game you download will have this music in it. Not bad music though, very nice as a matter of fact. It sounds like an orchestra.
 
Replay
6 / 10
You will love to laugh at this hilarious game again and again and again. It's just about as fun as it is hilarious though, so sure I'd do it again (once or twice). And the yoshi voice acting will make you keep coming back for more. Would have been cool if it had a secret Moogle world though where Mario can buy pet deku scrubs...... don't you think??? :)
 
Final Words
7 / 10
Awesome game!!! Am glad not all fan games are like this though but this is too overated. It has a charm to it..ya know? Very nice! Two thumbs up.

There are three reasons you gave it a 7.

1.You want people to download the game and lose their minds

2.You do not know good C+C

3.You are really Adamgamer, not Goombacheep

I don't know which one, but I don't mean to offend you in anyway if it's 1 or 2, but there are dozens of other reviews that say otherwise.

I think it's a good game, but not because of the "Yoshi" voice acting and stuff but because of it's story and the fact it's FUN.

This game has 2 reviews with high scores, and the game is not as good as some of those positive reviews say, or "overrated".
