Lol. I prefer the battling in the first two paper mario games. Plus, the partners aren't DUMB. They're bob-ombs and koopas and stuff! >:0
Like, for all the characters in the first paper mario game... Goomba, koopa, bob-omb, koopa troopa, a boo, a sun child(thing??), cheep cheep, and a lakitu (sorry if I forgot anyone. @,@)
And for Paper mario ttyd - Goomba, koopa, wind goddess (who is a disgusting sIut), baby yoshi, shadow siren, and a bob-omb. (again, excuse me if I forgot someone)
