Hell, I'll still play Mario RPG from time to time.

So all in all, Mario RPG rapes both of these other games while also fellating their mothers.

I think its an insult to consider this the best Mario game around.
Quite frankly from the little I played, it seemed like an RPG first and it just so happened to have Mario characters in it.
Mario was never intended to be an RPG so I think that is an insult to the creators as well as the series to be frank...
Part of the reason it fails is because the new characters in my opinion doesn't exactly fit the mold of the mario universe. Granted at this point its a pretty damn big universe, but atleast the other games were nice enough to give you partners in pre-defined roles like Goombas, Yoshis, Ghosts and all that other stuff while still creating new characters or personalities.
I think the Paper Mario games are better games simply because they acknowledge that they are Mario games. Sure they are RPGs but they also have tons of platforming, good dialogue and aren't afraid to poke fun of themselves.
They are also longer games.. but eh...
Just to make a point though to a degree it goes with all the RPGs...
but how many of those "new" characters made re-appearances...
