Paper Mario turns 20 years old today!

[GeneralGuy]

Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64 is one of my favorite video games of all time and the inspiration for my online username that I created back in 2006. I still remember playing it for the first time like it was yesterday when it came out back in 2001. I was only 9 years old and in 4th Grade when it released in North America on February 5th, 2001. Everything about it: the simple yet fun RPG and platforming gameplay, the colorful pop-up storybook aesthestic, the whimsical and mesmorizing soundtrack, the comfy and immersive atmosphere, the amazing and interesting level design, the funny and and charming dialogue, the fleshed out and varied characters, etc. are all what make this so magical. This game defined my childhood.
