Paper Mario turns 20 years old today!

[King Piranha Plant]

It's interesting that this coincided so close to MFGG's 20th anniversary. I remember how present Paper Mario was in old MFGG imagery, banners, fan art and fangames. We all had this game on our minds constantly at the time, and it was one of the most immersive Mario games around back then. Being so detailed and story heavy, yet true to the Mario feel (unlike Super Mario RPG which had that weird Squaresoft vibe of its own), Paper Mario sort of felt like the definitive Mario experience for a while there.
