>what did they do worse in the sequel?
They removed best partner

best chapter, best partner

best Paper Mario chapter

That's a good one.
I also recommend Paper Mario.

It's one of the best RPGs of 5th gen.
Intelligent Systems also did a great job giving generic Mario enemies and animals their own personalities, and the NOA localization was amazing.

Best partner and best chapter right here

Paper Mario

It's well done.

I played lots of 5th gen RPGs on PS1 and Saturn, and Paper Mario is still on the top tier.

It would just be so comfy walking around the level then coming back to a fireplace with some hot chocolate.

>Yoshi's Story's sprite-rich worlds are "supposed to look like that, it's a story book!"

I don't get this... you mean the map screen, or the actual levels?

Yeah with Paper Mario that was the main gimmick, the sprites are like paper cutouts in a 3D world of polygons, and it works.

The way PS1 handles it is what makes it gross.

You got me, I guess. Give it to Saga.

Not OP, but I think it's not too crazy to think Paper Mario is one of the best RPGs of 5th gen. I wouldn't call it the absolute best, but it's up there along with Panzer Dragoon Saga or Suikoden II for me.
Calling it a "my first RPG" isn't really a solid argument since Final Fantasy VII was probably the actual first RPG for most people, I understand you probably say that because of Paper Mario's simplicity and not because of actually being the first RPG people play, but I think even within its simplicity it excels at what it does, when it came out (2001) I was kind of burned out of RPGs, and Paper Mario with its simple but effective badge system felt like a breath of fresh air.

I mean, it's not like Panzer Dragoon Saga is overly long or complicated either, it could also fit as a "my first RPG" experience, only difference is that instead of being set on Mario universe it's on PD's universe so it may came off as less "kiddy"... but honestly? I played PM as a young adult and I fucking loved the writing, humor and characters. The plot wasn't anything special but the whole game felt alive and characters were well written, never thought I'd care about a Goomba or a Koopa Troopa on any game. Intelligent Systems (and I guess the localization team in the west) did a good job at giving generic characters from the Mario universe a lot of personality and charm.

Was there any missable side quest or item in the game?

I want to replay it and I'd like to go for a 100% completion.

Pic related was the best chapter.
