Haha, fantastic! I need to have a look at that, sounds great fun. Is it as infuriating as the original Mario platform games were? That brought out some serious rage

It is more like Mario crossed with an RPG.
Interesting concept. I'm not 100% sure about games who change their characters or original premise. Probably why I liked crash bandicoot as it remained a platform game throughout and how I remember it as a child. Nostalgia is a powerful emotion with these things!
How is Mario not a platform game like Crash Bandicoot?
You just said this Paper Mario version is like an RPG?
Mario has been many things over the years in different games. So, some of the games are more like RPGs. But Mario is still Mario. And Mario is not just one thing. Mario is flexible. Mario can do many different things. And Paper Mario is still like other Mario games in some ways. And Mario is flexible. Mario can be a doctor. Mario can play tennis. Mario can play basketball. Mario can play golf. Mario can even play in the Olympics with Sonic. I guess it comes down to the definition of platform gaming. Mario is the main like mascot for Nintendo since the 1980's. If you're using a more specific and defined definition and meaning to platform gaming, then you could argue that Mario does not fit the requirements for that. I would argue for a more general and more vague definition.
