You ****, I went out and bought the first 2 portable mario RPGs (this one, and Partners In Time) pretty much because you said they were great! And now to learn you never even had played them before saying that! Wonder how many of your other references are bogus. Maybe you've never really eaten Branston Pickles either!
Admittedly running out and buying something based on a comment in a ZP review is pretty naive but I did enjoy Super Paper Mario and Mario RPG.
First thing I wanted to do was yell at you about the separate jump buttons being criticized in the new game, but not in the old ones, but I guess this addresses that. Separate jump buttons are infuriating!
Not as infuriating as the two-player of New Super Mario Wii. Good lord that game is shit. Hope you tear it a new asshole proper in a review soon.
