 | | Mario was conceived as a two-dimensional character, after all -- his latter-day 3D incarnations are still the exception, not the rule -- and Paper Mario finally comes around and develops some awareness of this fact. |
 | | Paper Mario 2 doesn't seem to drastically change anything about the concept -- for the most part, it's Paper Mario, only more so -- but given the enthusiastic reception the first game received from a broad cross-section of the market, it seems to be doing most everything right so far. |
 | | The presentation of combat in Paper Mario 2 is weirdly reminiscent of the puppet-theater setting in Dynamite Headdy -- Mario, his partners, and his opponents are all on stage during their battles, and the many denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom can be a pretty tough crowd if they don't like what they see. |
