Some people have pointed out Super Paper Mario. I would like to expand on the "still a great game" notions. It was a great story, with great dialogue and character interaction, and a decent concept. The gameplay however was sub par and the difficulty was mind numbingly easy. Boss battles were the dryest of any mario game I've ever played. Keep these things in mind if you consider it. If story is enough to sell you, great. If not, I'd opt out on this game.
