Yeah, all the Mario RPG series are great. In fact, I'm in the middle of simultaneously playing two of them: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Both of them I definitely recommend. Both are funny as hell. The paper motif in the Paper Mario games is really charming and the battle system really involving (making even stronger use of timing hits than Super Mario RPG). Mario & Luigi is just hilarious, especially the way Luigi is the butt of every joke. And for me, growing up during the Mario cartoons, Mario & Luigi is the closest I've ever felt to actually playing the cartoon with both Mario Bros. working together (and actually occasionally doing some plumbing work). Oh, and the Geno doll makes a cameo appearance in Mario & Luigi. My only regret is that there has never been (and probably never will be) a true sequel to the original Mario RPG. One of my favorite games of all time.

And, Chalts, I always thought about repurchasing Yoshi's Island for the GBA (as I have every other Mario Advance game), but I absolutely cannot stand Yoshi's new voice (I say new, but it's about ten years old now), and it would probably drive me crazy to have to hear him that much. Did it bother you at all?
