General Commentary and Game Overview
This Paper Mario/Super Mario RPG/Kirby Crossover is one of the must-have fangames. Not because it is good. It sucks! But its sheer camp value makes it among the most amusing games ever! Remember those animated shorts from Sesame Street, animated and voiced by kids? Remember how the voice-acting sucked, the art sucked, the plot sucked, but you forgave it because they were little kids? Well, imagine those little kids made a Mario game, and this is what you get!
 
Pros *Passwords. *Good Music *Gets gradually better. *So bad it's funny.
 
Cons *Mostly awful graphics. *Always awful gameplay. *THe notoriously bad built-in TGF platform movement, along with a driving mini-game with hideous controls. *Lady Bow isn't in it!
 
Impressions
Gameplay
1 / 10
This game does a good job providing gameplay variety, but all the types of gameplay it has suck. There's very basic platforming, some eight directional top-down levels, a driving mini-game with horrid controls, and bosses that utilize platform movement. There's little change in the feel of the boss battles, except they get more challenging (not much!). THroughout most of the game, you are Mario in 2-D levels, and you can jump and shoot straight-firing fireballs. You get partners, who can be used for puzzles that would baffle only a baby. You get to play as Kirby, too, but contrary to what you might think, he's exactly like Mario.
 
Graphics
1 / 10
Since very few fangames use original graphics, this aspect must be scored on how well the graphics are mixed together. And I must say, here they are mixed together in an abysmal fashion. Details are few. Aside from active objects and the occasional background (Yes, some levels have none at all!), there is little else to look at. Bowser and Wario are bosses, and they are particularly funny. Bowser does not have any animations. That's because he is official game art from PM, not a sprite. This looks hilarious when his still body, holding up a star wand, is bouncing around the stage nonstop! Wario, lo and behold, is the hilariously bad Wario sprite from Biebersoft's weird game, Super Mario Vs. the NWO World Tour, with the head and torso from the Mario Kart 64 character select screen, and everything bfrom the waste down drawn on Microsoft Paint. Except he looks worse than I remembered!
 
Sound
9 / 10
THe highlight of this game. Some very good music, and an impressive variety of it. Yoshiman, the narrator, sounds like Chucky from Rugrats would after inhaling helium.
 
Replay
7 / 10
You'll probably come back just so you can laugh at how bad it is.
 
Final Words
1 / 10
Probably the funniest Mario fangame on the site. The sad thing is, it doesn't mean to be.
