Mario & Lugi Superstar Saga

Nintendo hasn't done anything with turned based combat. Square Soft developed Mario RPG which was the first to incorporate the "evolution" you speak of. How has that combat evolved since then? Paper Mario follows the same basic principles, and M&L is nearly identicle.

Like I said, Nintendo hasn't done anything drastically new, they do what they always do: find something their fans like and repeat it as many times as possible.

Further what development? The addition of a button press, a development they did not even make in the first place? Interactivity during turned based gameplay is not anything new, it is featured in many RPGs, and they involve much more than pressing a button at the appropriate time.

It is basic turned based combat, not by matter of opinion. And let me make myself clear once again: I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS. I do like the game, I like all the Mario RPG games, and this form of combat is on no hindrance to me. The problem I have is the comparison being made that all other RPGs are pale when confronted with these games.

I don't think the comparison being said by you makes other RPG's pale. I know what you mean. (But good on clarifying for some other peoples

)

In the woods, where you have to collect the 3 colored things, there is a large koopa looking guy blocking my way, that says something like "Nothing can knock me down...I think". How do I get past him? Nothing seems to work...I hit him with my hammer from the sides, I cant hit him from the front because it initates a conversation...

Yesterday, I figured out how to knock down the big koopa guys.

*SMALL SPOILER*

You can't knock them down with the hammer

*End small spoiler*

I think where you are, you can't knock them down yet...but after you learn a few more techniques, you can knock them down.

Indeed. You will learn a technique. It will be obvious when you learn the right one.

Exactly how long is this game anyway? I think I'm closer to being finished than I thought.

How long have you been playing? Where are you at?

I beat it in about 11 hours (although, that timer could be off because I left the game running by accident a couple times).
