Completion Time: About 20 hours
Probably the longest 20 hours of my gaming career. This game took me months - it's just soooo slowwwww. I couldn't wait to get through every moment of the game - not because I was anxious about seeing the ending, or jumping out of my panties to see read what Goombario's parents were doing while he's been gone, or even what the flowers think about me saving them from the freaking rain clouds - I just wanted every single thing I was doing in the game to end 80 minutes faster than it did. I kept catching myself saying, "OK. I...I get it. Yup. Got it. I understand. Got it!"
Paper Mario is a good, lighthearted RPG with a solid battle system. It's just incredibly tedious to finish.
