I feel like Super Paper Mario is underappreciated, even with the recent shift of popular online opinion leading to it being seen in in a more favorable light. This video essay focuses on the art direction, style, and themes of the game, which I think are often overlooked, even by the game's appreciators.

If you'd like to hear more from me about Super Paper Mario, I have a (much less cohesive) written review for it on my Backloggd that focuses more on the gameplay: https://www.backloggd.com/u/Kirbyster...
