ZOMG! I actually played a game! AMAZING SCENES ((C) 2007 DeKay). And it only took about 30 seconds of play to remember just how awesome Super Paper Mario is. I was climbing up the inside of a tree and getting up to all kinds of wierd puzzly switch-pressing antics before have a mini-boss battle with
