The Mario RPG thread

I don't get it. The game refuses to reference anything that isn't Main-Mario when it comes to enemies and characters because of Miyamoto but then it has a remixed song from Mario Land 1, a game Miyamoto seems to want to ignore forever.
 
for what ti's worth, here's a statement from a 2007 interview about SPM (RK = Ryota Kawade, director of the first three paper marios)

I wanna just print this, roll the paper and shove it in their mouths!

It's cool that you want to try new things, but the format of the 2 first games was perfect and was so popular! I don't get it, at all...
 
Want me to destroy all my credibility?

One of the latest trailers has actually gotten me legit interested in this. I still miss partners and unique characters, but the creativity and presentation look through the roof. I kind of went through the same experience with 3D World's trailers, oddly enough.

 
Most Toad NPCs in the old Paper Mario's were all just recolors except for a few handfuls.

Just walk around Toad Town and you'll see that most of the Toads look the same.

The difference is that Paper Mario 1 also has a ton of other NON-TOAD npcs. Not just in Toad Town but in all kinds of other places as well.
In Color Splash every friendly NPC seems to be a Toad.
The first game also has a lot more unique designs for its Toads. Like the Nomad Toads, the Winter Toads, lots of female Toads, Toads of different age groups, Toads with different jobs, etc.
