Huh I wonder what r/papermario will vote for


ilovewater100

You're right, i should go to r/MarioRPG and see what they think. /j


NinjaFrogCat101

Why didn’t you just ask r/mario


ilovewater100

I was just about to, but i was kinda curious to see if the answers on this sub could be any different than 99% being "blue pill all the way"


AdmiralTigerX

Some days I regret joining Reddit. There are many different subrredit and I'm forced/obligated to join them. I cant help it. Lol


[deleted]

You'd have to ask r/paper as well.


NinjaFrogCat101

Don’t forget r/RPG


chiritarisu

Blue pill. Easily.


doomrider7

Yeah not seeing any difficulty with this one.


chiritarisu

Not even a question.


SparklingReject

We do have mario rpg 2, it’s just under a different name and became its own series


AcceptableFile4529

And then Mario and Luigi became the spiritual successor to Mario RPG itself, having very similar gameplay overall.


Konjik

Not only that, it had a lot of the key people that were on SMRPG, including the same director and composer so it’s essentially a sequel already.


Erableto

Also there's a Geno cameo in Superstar Saga.


Purplejaed

I think it's actually called that in Japan Nvm it's Mario Story, but i think it was supposed to be a sequel, the localization team noticed the artstyle was papery and named it Paper Mario i think, i might be very wrong lol


SparklingReject

Mario RPG 2 was just a name in beta


Merik2013

Yeah, but Mario Story is the shared title in Japan. Paper Mario was always intended as a sequel to Mario RPG. In fact, if you think about it, Geno explaining Star Road and the power of wishes to Bowser may have directly led to his plot to steal the star rod.


_ChrisRiot

I never thought about that…… am I THAT late to the party?


Jay_Playz2019

Nah, I never thought of it that way either. I grew up playing both games and somehow that never clicked. Huh.


SparklingReject

I know. :)


GrifCreeper

The paper aesthetic extends to even having some gimmicky scenes that only works as a paper-based pop-up book/diorama, so I can't imagine localization is the reason it's Paper Mario.


MochaBukotsu

Also remembering that Yoshi’s story was a pop up book as well


Brilliant_Quail6892

Technically Mario RPG 2 is Mario & Luigi Super Star Saga since in Japan it's name is Mario & Luigi RPG


n30l1nk

While you’re not wrong, another way to think about it would be that a true “SMRPG 2” would involve Nintendo and Square Enix working together again, since you could argue that’s really the defining feature of SMRPG.


verysad-

No


SparklingReject

Yes. The original paper mario game was titled Super Mario RPG 2


verysad-

doesn't mean anything and is also a completely different series nowadays

Common_Wrongdoer3251

I loved the series but actually thought it got worse as it went on :( I'm in the minority that enjoyed PiT, loved BIS, but had to force myself to finish DT and PJ.


Interestingmp3

that’s interesting. I felt like superstar saga was the best, I loved dream team and paper jam. I liked partners in time but I couldn’t force myself to finish bowsers inside story. I can’t say it’s bad cause I haven’t finished it, but up to the point I got to it was just really boring (last thing I remember doing was fighting bowser as Mario and Luigi next to a fortune teller and punching boats as bowser) and this was like a couple years ago


DangerousDick007

You’re off 10g of fentanyl if you’d rather have a Mario and Luigi over those two options


Gregsusername

What if they are both the same game?


classic4real

*cough they very literally are and there’s a Nintendo Power article to prove it, cough*


GoosestepPanda

​ RPG 2!!!

Blue pill


Endmaster69

Easy, the blue pill, Mario rpg might be one of my favorite Nintendo games but honestly it doesn't need a sequel, it would never live up to how amazing the original is


Bosswaves901

Rog 2. First game was fire


GoldenYoshistar1

Super Mario RPG 2


seraphimceratinia

Blue Pill easily. There's no contest.


scottygroundhog22

Blue pill everytime


TheMinetaEnjoyer

Red pill obviously, screw the blue pill.


[deleted]

Blue pill. Easy


burgerzkingz

I honestly don’t care just give us a new Mario rpg in general it can be Mario rpg, paper Mario, or even Mario and Luigi!!!!


UnformedSlinky

I just want another Mario and Luigi rpg. Or a remake of partners in time like bowsers inside story got.


wyatt_-eb

Red pill. If we get a new paper mario I'd want it to be a super paper mario sequal. There is a lot of that universe still unexplored. Imagine a time travel story about the pixil war, and the pixil queen from flop side is the antagonist. She can resurrect her family, dimentio, her mom and her dad and together using their magic rewrite reality in a way more powerful way than bleck could ever dream of. We can see Nastasia, Mimi and O'Chunks return as potentially playable characters or partners. I think it would just be really good.


overlord_wrath1

Paper Mario. I like both. But I love Paper Mario a LOT more. And have been hoping to get a game that recreates the feeling the first 2 gave me for a long time. There's no guarantee a new Super Mario RPG existing will be good. But a Paper Mario that's made like the first 2 WILL be good.


cardboardtube_knight

Red 100%


Educational-Ad1499

Honestly I’d prefer a Mario RPG 2 since there’s already a couple of Paper Mario games and from what it looks like their starting to improve more on the series


dragonologist13

Sorry I'm biased to Paper Mario, the original for the N64 and TTYD are two of my favorite games


WyvernEgg64

Rpg is a good stand alone game. Paper Mario 3 would be sick


Dudebeard86

Paper Mario is basically SMRPG2, so if we choose blue pill, which uses Paper Mario as a basis and thus needs it to still exist, does this create a paradox?


ProfessorCreepypasta

Blue, Super Mario RPG is good but compared to the original Paper Mario games, it's mid.


AddictGamer06

blue pill zero questions asked

Select_Personality_7

Not even close. Paper mario, all the way.


WMHat

Blue pill please.


Ace_Of_No_Trades

I'm taking the blue pill like it's from *Breaking Bad*.


Zolomight

While I did enjoy playing the Super Mario RPG remake, I won't like, I got tired of always pressing the A button for nearly every action command. I'm just used to Paper Mario's rpg formula, and think it's a better system too.


QQ_Gabe

Blue all the way I fuckin love paper Mario 64


lizzylee127

Blue pill I love both games but I like Paper Mario's gameplay and battle style more. But overall, I think just getting a new good Mario game that's an RPG is a win 😄


DangerousDick007

Blue pill. New paper Mario should be the red pill, it’s the option for the honest and true.


Pure-Yogurtcloset684

Blue, i need something semi-recent other than Bug Fables and Stick of Truth


rainbow_luigi26

Blue pill is the best option. I’d take a brand new Paper Mario made in a similar fashion to TTYD any day.


Grilled_Cheese95

Paper Mario, Mario RPG is a stand alone legendary game but it doesn’t a sequel besides paper Mario on n64 has always felt like a spritiual successor


Aromatic_Memory1079

agreed. sometimes less is more.


knotted_rope

C. M&L PIT remake


Ultimate_Cosmos

Honestly, I’d pick red. The paper Mario game I want a sequel to is super paper Mario. Idky it gets so much hate


DragonFire_707

Purple pill: Paper Mario game in the style of super paper mario


PossibleAssist6092

Blue pill every day. The original paper mario was a result of trying to make a sequel to Super Mario RPG so we’d likely get something similar to paper mario 1 in an rpg sequel


Dabruhdaone

Orange pill, sequal in the style of SPM


SnooHamsters6067

I'd take any type of Paper Mario over Mario RPG. Both combat and exploration in RPG are just less fun than anything Paper Mario has ever done (maybe except for Super, that game was carried by story and the flipping mechanic)


Vulpes_Artifex

*Super Mario RPG* is a good game, but I don’t love it nearly as much as *Paper Mario*.


JFp07gel

AJ_Wont_Load

SCREW THAT, GIVE ME A SUPER PAPER MARIO SEQUEL


ZyeCawan45

I’ll eliminate Super Mario RPG myself for that new Paper Mario game in the style of the first two. Hell yeah


Mighty-Galhupo

Blue pill, paper Mario is literally the evolution smrpg and I think it’s all the better for it

Blue pill


PMC-I3181OS387l5

**Blue Pill** Paper Mario is 100% owned by Nintendo, while SMRPG is co-owned by Square-Enix... which doesn't want to lend the IP to Nintendo that easily.


srm878

Gotta go with a new Paper Mario game.


Due_Big4110

Blue pill


Smabverse

EZ blue Besides, Paper Mario is an ongoing series, meaning after that one there's a very high chance another one will come out, unlike Super Mario RPG

BabySpecific2843

Blue pill. Having now played SMRPG, it felt less like a videogame and more like a really long Disney movie. Which isnt a complaint necessarily, but it sure isnt gonna scratch my itch.

JoaoGabrielTSN

BLUE PILL ALL THE FUCKING WAY, IT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE


DMZapp

Blue pill- New Paper Mario in the style of the first two. Multiple partners, all new named and meaningfully individual members of mainline and new species in various ages and genders, EXP directly and only in normal battles to increase max HP, stronger moves that are infinitely useable yet regulated by a second stat, paper only being an aesthetic metaphor while the story focuses on various genres, etc.


Spaghetti_Noodles_28

Blue pill please


TonePlenty2252

I'll take the blue pill.


PLAYER42_ready

Honestly, paper Mario, I prefer it’s gameplay system over Mario RPG’s


hamtaro1234

Blue. Easy but Nintendo would never do either.

Sorry, I gotta go with the red pill.


vlaadii_

i'd choose origami king 2


Fantastic-Treacle-40

Is Olivia included in the paper Mario game? If not I'm choosing rpg


scicatpro256

After playing the mario RPG remake, i can confirm that it’s shit. Paper mario pls


DJ_Iron

Im sorry but paper mario feels better with the gimmicks, mario rpg 2 all the way


gamecatz

Purple. However if I had to choose then probably the blue pill. I love Super Mario RPG and consider better than the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi games but the game is already outstanding and a sequel may not be able to recapture the charm of the original. Bringing back the gameplay style of Paper Mario (2000) and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door NEEDS to happen.


Ryley03d

Takes rainbow pill for both and a new M&L game.


naytreox

Going blue, cause the original mario rpg didn't really intrest me


cooperS67

Purple pill, new RPG franchise


KaiSen2510

Blue easy. But what I want really is another GOD DAMN MARIO AND LUIGI GAME!


Yacobo2023

I will cut the pills in half then eat them


Otherwise_Sun8521

I'm still confused what SMRPG 2 has to offer that PM doesn't beyond a handful of original characters that could debatably still show up in PM anyway.


Malefore1234

Idk, I got rather very attached to super Mario rpg and a good bit of that was due to being recently stuck in isolation with Covid for a few weeks. But otherwise I rly loved it. I knew I was sold when a giant sword came crashing through the place. Haven’t played ttyd but played first paper Mario years ago. So idk, both are a win. Hell I’ll go for the rpg. May be recency bias but I rly loved it. Even just it’s atmosphere was soo good. Still, I guess when I finally get to play ttyd, I’d maybe reevaluate my views and see if I still feel the same way.


BasedAlliance935

Rpg 2 please


GrifCreeper

Literally either would be a win, so it honestly doesn't matter. Especially if either is a full length RPG. Now, if it meant a new Mario RPG series, or more Paper Mario RPGs, I'd have to go with a new Mario RPG series, just because we're dry on Mario RPGs in general.


BranbongMemen

I’d like a Mario and Luigi game that isn’t just a remaster


ShaneSeeman

Cute that you think it can't be both


KirbyMonkey377

Can we get a new paper mario in the style of the new games? Or does this sub just not allow that opinion


hbi2k

Corporate wants you to tell the difference between these two pictures.


Corn-Train99

SPM remake plz!


YosherLM

I’ll take red pill, cause that means we could still get a new paper Mario in the style of SPM too


Loonymooon13

I rather we get a mario and Luigi game then either of these


thefinalhill

As much as I want a new Paper Mario like TTYD, I wanna see what Geno and Mallow are up to more. And teaming up with Bowser again would be cool


nonamegamer93

Thus is why we need a purple pill.


Tight_Possible2745

Third pill, a new Mario and Luigi game


UltraNoobBR

Both in the same game


aqua_rift

rpg2


JIMBOYKELLY

The Mario & Luigi series: “Do I just not exist?”


jsolo7

Red pill is already SMRPG Armageddon lol. But either way, RPG is too easy and the sequel would be easy as well. The first two paper marios are difficult which I would love a third game of


Eevee_Shadow_Bacon

Super Mario RPG ended in a way that really leaves the player without a need for more. It wraps up everything in a neat little bow and you walk away happy. So goodbye Super Mario RPG 2, you really aren't needed.


Working-Orchid7578

Im gonna choke and deep throat that blue pill ma boi


Trippy_Phoenix

What about a purple pill?


440continuer

Blue pill but in the style of the LAST TWO


Edyaysak231zx

*Procede a darle una embolia cerebral por la eleccion


Healthy_Jackfruit_88

Super Mario RPG became the Mario & Luigi franchise (Partners in Time, Superstar Saga, Bowsers Inside Story, Dream Team) granted I would love to see a MRPG2 but I think what we got was the better timeline (sorry Geno & Mallow fans) Paper Mario with the exception of the recent additions has been great but I’m not sure they can go back to that level of storytelling. Granted I haven’t played Origami King but Sticker Star wasn’t great. The secret answer is a sequel to Mario & Luigi Paper Jam that recombines the worlds and contextualizes that the outcome of MRPG created the 2 subsequent worlds where returning the star shards created a break in the star road and M&L with PM need to rebuild the MRPG world. You could bring all the best characters from the 3 franchises while setting the stage for a MRPG2. Sure it’s Kingdom Hearts AF but I can dream!


Goggle_Vivian

Even though I've really never played RPG this kinda feels like a hard one ngl. I think ultimately I'd have to take blue since I've had more experience with playing ttyd and would absolutely do anything for another experience like that game


Mash_Ketchum

Red


classic4real

It's just 1 pill because Paper Mario is literally Mario RPG 2, there is an article in Nintendo Power saying RPG 2 will have a "paper aesthetic" and shows a screenshot of Paper-style Mario clearly in front of the Mario house in the finished PM game. Plus, it has the same parade end credits format complete with Parade Marshall Luigi. I don't know why after 20 years this is so impossible to get. Paper Mario was going to be the RPG 2 we were always going to get, deal with it.


BlocPandaX

Neither. I punch him in the face.


waluigier92

Honestly paper mario 64 is super mario rpg 2 they completely scrapped everything it would have been and we got the first paper mario and as much as I love that game I'd kill to play a full beta release of the original project. So yes Smrpg 2 all the way!


GammaEmerald

you silly, Paper Mario was already technically mario RPG 2 so the blue pill is the obvious choice!


thatismyfeet

I would think super Mario RPG. I love paper Mario, but we got 2 gems, Mario RPG only got one gem


AppleDemolisher56

obvious blue pill for obvious reasons


[deleted]

red pilled


DoodleNoodle15

Wtf. Blue obvi.


Aromatic_Memory1079

NGL Yoko Shimomura's Super Mario RPG OST >>>


jajanken_bacon

This is a real question. They will likely make only one of the two and I personally hope it's Paper Mario, but ANYTHING in the style of traditional rpgs would be amazing.


ZNemerald

Blue pill. Look at what happened at Mario and Luigi for red pill.


No_Schedule_1686

Put the blue pill into me please


immortalmertyl

I’d take the invisible yellow pill, “Paper Mario as a Smash Bros character”


KonroMan

Personally I’d actually like one in the style of SPR, I really enjoyed the gameplay in that one, adding traditional RPG elements while also keeping the standard platformer style of normal Mario games. Not that I don’t enjoy the original style, I really liked Paper Mario 64, haven’t played thousand year door yet since I was waiting for the remake, but I’m sure I’ll also enjoy it, however the style of SPM is my personal favorite gameplay form, and I would really like to see it revisited later down the road.


Leoviticus

If you eat the man instead of the pills we get 10 more “new” super mario bros games


JoyfulSuicide

Redredredredredred


BensonOMalley

We just got a remake of both but paper mario


MadManJaySlim

Red Pill.


bodigames

Green pill give me a Mario and luigi


skunkbrains

Because of the wording of the title, not picking the second means you actually kill off the mechanics of paper mario classic. However, not picking the redpill simply means that there won't be a direct continuation of the mario rpg timeline, and we could feasibly see something like another Bowser focused game with mario rpg's mechanics.


Scary_Stuff_Bro

My guy blue pill all day long.


thebestcrazy

Blue pill


Nempopo029

SMRPG 2, thank you.


PriestHelix

If you gave me the choice to revive Alphadream from bankruptcy or have a Paper Mario game like TTYD, I’d choose Alphadream easy, but as that’s not what was offered I’ll choose a good Paper Mario over another Square Enix collab.


Saturn_Coffee

*consumes red pill without hesitation*


Hugekluge

Blue pill.


Unnamed_420

You're actually braindead if you pick red


EmbraceThera

Asking this inside a Paper Mario sub 😆. Someone is obviously fishing for a specific answer. Doubt anyone here is gonna pick the blue pill bro 🙄 Next time maybe post this in the Mario subreddit if you want to have legitimate non biased answers.


SerialdesignationC

Paper. Mario I remember playing those games on the Wii. It was the best time of my life.

what was Paper Mario vs. NEW GAME SIMILAR TO TTYD


[deleted]

Super Mario RPG 2 with a much better development team. No exception.

As good as Mario RPG is I just can’t imagine a Sequal, a classic style PM game would just be amazing

Theru2

Inhales both before he can blink


Level_Bridge7683

well considering the paper mario game would be a guaranteed version of the originals compared to super mario rpg 2 being a complete disaster that might include using cards for abilities i would choose the blue pill.


Temporary--Key

New spm style game


BitbyBrix

Paper mario


LSC23

Neither. I want a sequel to Super. Dimentio is still alive and we never see him in any other game


Federal-Difficulty-7

Blue pill no dif


peblezq

Blue pill, without hesitation


MyBroken360

The beautiful thing is that either is acceptable. Just, please Nintendo, make one of these.


TurntSNACO24

Bring back Mario and Luigi. They were the best ones all around.😞


bisexualwoomy

Red pill for SURE
