Doesn't look bad at all, but aren't Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series RPGs?
Feels weird to use them as examples for inspirations for a platformer.
Feels more like Yoshi's Island elements thrown into a 2D version of Super Mario 3D World.
Super Paper Mario was more platformer than RPG.
Are we both talking about the original game for Nintendo 64? Because that sounds like a bit of an overstatement to me if that's the case.
Or am I remembering something wrong?
No, sorry, I'm referring to the 2007 Wii game. Instead of turn based battles it was a more traditional 2d-3d hybrid platformer with RPG elements.
