Los mejores Me gusta de Paper Mario en Switch – Juegos para jugar si estás suspirando por Paper Mario de la vieja escuela
MAR10 Day Sale ahora en vivo en EE. UU. Switch eShop Mario de papel admirador, then there’s one key thing that you probably share with all other Paper Mario fans: Disappointment.
Unfortunately for all of us who love the antics of Intelligent Systems’ two-dimensional plumber, the Paper Mario series has been slowly declining in quality, taking the things we loved about the early games (combate por turnos! Witty writing! Incredible characters!) and turning them into things that… just aren’t as good. Endless parades of faceless Toads, combat that relies too heavily on a gimmick that doesn’t quite work, and writing that never quite reaches the heights of Paper Marios of old… this is what we’ve had to endure for a while (a pesar de que, cierto es que, Origami King was pretty good).
Por suerte para nosotros, game developers can be fans of Paper Mario too — and several of them have taken up the reins, creating Paper Mario-inspired games that harken back to the good ol’days of our flat friends. Here are the indie games you should check out if you’re ever feeling nostalgic for Puerta de los mil años or the OG Mario de papel…

The most Paper Marioest of the Paper Mario-inspired games on this list, Fábulas de error: El retoño eterno isn’t just a love letter to Mario de papel: La puerta de los mil años; it’s that GameCube classic’s terrifying stalker. We can’t stress it enough; this is Mario de papel.
From top to bottom, it’s spiritually identical – from the writing style with its many little comical asides, the pop-up book graphics, la música (que “battle won” theme is shockingly evocative of Thousand-Year Door) all the way to the individual animations; bee protagonist Vi’s little arm flail precisely recalls Mario’s. It’s so similar that it’s almost unnerving; like Bug Fables has killed Paper Mario and is wearing its skin. Pero, ya sabes, en el buen sentido.

Tinykin‘s more obvious inspiration is Pikmin, but this 3D platformer also has a healthy chunk of Paper Mario DNA in there, demasiado. This critter-wrangling puzzle game presents a lesson in appreciating the simple things in life, incluyendo la ayuda de quienes te rodean (like Paper Mario’s various NPC companions), with plenty of environmental puzzles that utilise the strengths of each of your tiny pals. It’s a sweet game with low stakes, but charming writing and inventive level design make it well worth picking up.

This tax-avoidance action-RPG may be the only one of its kind, but it pulls inspiration from games like Un vínculo al pasado to create a brilliantly-written, surprisingly gorgeous game that constantly delights players with weird and witty dialogue and puzzles. We wouldn’t say Turnip Boy is as clearly inspired by the Papers Mario as, decir, Bug Fables — but it certainly hits the spot when it comes to the writing.

UnderHero es, like one of its inspirations, Undertale, an anti-RPG. You play as a minion of the evil overlord, who starts off the game’s story by accidentally killing the actual hero, and then going on his own quest. It’s a 2D platformer with Paper Mario-like upgrades and coins to collect, and timing-based combat that builds on the foundations Mario laid. Like many other games on this list, the writing is a strong point, the visuals are cracking, and the soundtrack is filled with bangers. A true hidden gem of the paper-like genre!

The better of the two Cat Quest games, Cat Quest II does for cats what Paper Mario did for stationery. Get ready for puns-a-plenty, all to do with humanity’s favourite feline friends, in this comedic action-RPG with simple but compelling combat. Now we just have to wait for Cat Mario and Paper Mario to be combined, Al final…

Where Paper Mario took the RPG formula and made it silly, weird, and self-referential, Undertale does the same in a more modern, meme-saturated, Terrestre-flavoured way. It’s definitely not the closest analogue to the Paper Mario world, but its heart is full of similar charm, goofiness, and memorably unique moments — just be warned that it gets a fair bit darker than Mario would ever dare.

Link’s Awakening’s overworld meets Paper Mario’s 2D-guy-in-a-3D-setting in Skellboy, a vibrant action-RPG that flew under the radar because of poor performance at launch. Desde entonces, it’s been patched significantly, and we’re hoping that more people will give it a go as a result. You’ll play a little skeleton lad named Skippy, with the ability to swap out your body parts for new effects and skills — so every battle is a potential new body part for you to pilfer.
