One thing of note, to get any kind of fun and even an inkling of challenge out of the combat make sure to bump it up to Hardcore difficulty right away. Even Hardcore is really easy but it at least allows for a bit of strategy.

I think the biggest problem with combat is that the damage numbers are too big and random to properly strategise, other than make a shit at every toilet to throw at people and use all your pp up at the start. With Paper Mario the Hp and damage numbers are so low that it actually becomes a very strategic game because you know how much damage you can do and how much your going to take, also healing/items not taking a turn means it turns into a poting fest.

This game still rules btw.

Get a two slot weapon with cold and gross out and win everything.

Gross out is overpowered.

Ginger pube FTW.

No more than, say, watching a longplay of a point and click adventure game.

The Pony Express finally delivered my copy. Interestingly, it had a code for the preorder content in the case. Plus, my optical drive actually got used in 2014!
