I'm just glad to see timed attacks back. Those really worked in Mario RPG. Personally, I don't like the two-in-a-party situation because it puts too much focus on Mario. But maybe I'll warm up to it.

The two people in a party but not really two does take some getting use to.

And it's been a while since I've played who is in your party at the end of the first chapter. I know you have the goomba.

It's Goombario, Kooper, and Bombette. Not bad. I like Kooper the best so far though.

Some cool characters.
I believe the first one sticks to it more than the sequel and alot more than Super Paper Mario, but I like that your buddies are all enemies in other Mario games.

And for some reason don't remember you getting a party that fast, I believe it is slower in the other two games.

I just played for lunch today, and I just got the parakoopa and the Quake Hammer badge before (or in, I don't know) Dry Dry Desert.

You are moving on up.
Now unlike TTYD, this game doesn't really break the mold in level design.

What do you think of the badges so far?

Hahah, I like them. I also like the visual representation of "experience" in star points, accumulating.

Angrist: Really? I find that all old games look like shit on my HDTV and the Wii rectifies it a lot, simply because it's plugged in by component and running at 480p. I also don't know where I can get all games at a fixed rate of $5-$10, with the added convenience of being able to play without having to get up or hook anything else up. Maybe that's just me.

Running off to sushi, but I finished Chapter 2 last night and got the second elder star. I died twice and it really sucked going back through everything.
