Thousand Year Door:
While I have only played Thousand Year Door once through, it is still a gem to behold. In my opinion, it is the game with the most heart behind it. I don't have the nostalgia that most people have for the game, so I think that should be taken into account with my review. I think that the levels are fun and easy. Most of them are incredibly redundant. I think where Thousand Year Door shines is in its characters and, specifically, its companions.

Super Paper Mario:
Super Paper Mario is my favorite of all the Paper Mario games because I have so much nostalgia over it. SPM is my favorite of the games in terms of story. I love slowly learning the story in between the levels. Dimentio is my favorite character out of all the franchise, and I think the villains (O' Chunks, Mimi, Dimentio, Bleck) are also the best.

Paper Mario: Origami King:
Origami King is the latest of the franchise. The game itself is absolutely stunning, with some of the levels being literally jaw-dropping. The level design in particular is a stand out, even if I hate the Vellumentals. One thing that Origami King is really good at is providing a lot to do in between streamers. Some of my favorite areas are Shogun Studios, Snif City, and the Spa.
